Tecumseh AJ 4517 P-TZ (Old Code: TAJ 4517 Z) 1.3 Hp R-404A Refrigeration Compressor

The TAJ 4517 Z compressor by Tecumseh (France), well known in commercial refrigeration, is now produced under the code AJ 4517 P-TZ following the brand's global catalogue update. The code change is only a naming standard: housing dimensions, rotalock valve connections and cooling capacity are identical. You can fit this original compressor with its new code in place of a failed TAJ 4517 Z as a direct drop-in, without modifying the chassis or the fittings.
