Bristol Hermetic Reciprocating Compressor (4.0HP), H23A463DBEA & Similar Bristol Piston Compressors, and H23A463DBEA Piston Compressor Variant are examples of compressors matching this model number — a reciprocating refrigeration/air-conditioning compressor made by Bristol or similarly-specified vendors.
Key Specs (Typical for H23A463DBEA)
Type: Hermetic reciprocating compressor (piston type) used for refrigeration / AC systems.
Rated capacity: ~46,000 BTU/h (~4 ton capacity).
Motor: ~3.5–4.0 HP, 3-phase operation.
Voltage / Frequency: Commonly 460 V 3-phase / 60 Hz (also compatible with 380–415 V 50 Hz variants).
Refrigerant: Often designed for R-22 systems (some aftermarket may be listed for R-407 or other refrigerants — check compatibility).
Starting and running amps: Example listings show RLA ~6.3 and LRA ~45 A.
Usage: Medium-/high-temperature refrigeration and HVAC systems
Important Notes
R22 refrigerant models are becoming less common due to environmental phase-outs; make sure you’re replacing with a compatible refrigerant design if your system is being retrofitted.
Exact specifications (oil type, mounting hole pattern) should be confirmed with a datasheet or supplier before installation.
