Carrier 5h120 Compressor

Key Specifications Here are some of the core specs (note: actual numbers vary by variant and operating conditions): For the 5H120 series (nominal 120 size in the 5H family) physical & performance data: length ~47 in, width ~27 in, height ~35 in; operating weight ~1,580 lbs (≈ 716 kg) for the 120 size. Example spec from used listing: Type 5H120, refrigerant "Freon" (R-404A / R-507A typical) → kW at 0 °C / +40 °C = ~262.6 kW; at –5 °C / +40 °C = ~212.5 kW; at –20 °C / +40 °C ~104.7 kW; displacement ~390.7 m³/h; weight ~1,580 kg. Another listing: 5H120-A219 model: 75 HP, 460 V, 3-phase; refrigerants compatible: R22, R134a, R404A, R507. Technology/features: automatic unloaded starting (so high-torque motor not always needed), high‐efficiency motor possible, two‐piece shaft / seal assembly to reduce leakage, capacity control down to ~35% of full design load. Features & Design Highlights "Open‐drive" reciprocating design: meaning the compressor unit is driven by an external motor (versus hermetic/semi-hermetic where motor is inside). Capacity control: The design allows for reduction of capacity (and therefore power) when suction pressure drops, so it can operate efficiently under part‐load. Positive pressure oil lubrication, fine mesh suction screen and full‐flow filter in larger sizes (5H120, 5H126) to support longevity and reliability. Serviceability: Component parts like cylinder liners, pistons, bearings are designed for field replacement. Typical Applications Heavy duty refrigeration systems in industrial cold-storage, food processing, marine chilling systems. Large HVAC systems where high tonnage capacity and robust design required. Systems using refrigerants like R22, R404A, R507 among others (depending on region & variant). Considerations for Use / What to Check Ensure the correct refrigerant type and pressures are matched (some older designs may have used R22; newer/retrofitted may use R404A etc). Check the motor and drive arrangement: open-drive means you'll need an external motor and coupling/pulley setup. Service history: given large size these are often used/refurbished units — confirm condition, rebuild status, warranty. Matching size and capacity: "120" in 5H120 denotes the size within the 5H series, but actual tonnage/flow will depend on conditions. Ensure base, mounting, alignment, oil system, control systems are correct for your installation environment.
