Voltage: 220–240 V AC, single phase, 50 Hz
Capacitor: ~30 µF / 370 VAC start/run capacitor required
Displacement: ~21.4 cc/rev (unit of swept volume per revolution)
Input power: ~1,200–1,300 W range (varies by spec listing)
Cooling capacity: ~3,600–12,500 W range depending on measurement method and conditions (equivalent ~12,500 BTU/h on some specs)

Notes Before Buying / Replacing
This model is usually specified for R-22. Modern systems often use R-410A or R-32. Do not substitute without ensuring refrigerant and oil compatibility.
Size (e.g., “12″” in some product descriptions) often refers to physical mounting/footprint or nominal capacity class, not a literal dimension.
Check the compressor nameplate (on your existing unit) for exact voltage, capacitor size, and displacement before ordering.
