Description
Product Summary
For replacement in existing systems. This equipment uses R-22 / R-407C, which federal refrigerant rules limit in new refrigeration system installations. It is sold for repairing or replacing equipment in existing systems. Check the federal and local requirements that apply to your project before installing.
The Tecumseh AWG5524EXN is a 2 HP hermetic reciprocating compressor from Tecumseh's AW family, built for air conditioning and high temperature refrigeration. It runs on 208/230V 1-phase, 60 Hz power and is rated at about 24,000 BTU/h.
This listing is the AWG5524EXN configuration. It is approved for R-22, R-407C, with an evaporating range of -10°F to 55°F. Match the refrigerant, voltage and start components to the unit you are servicing before you install it.
Sold as a replacement part for servicing existing equipment. Federal refrigerant rules still allow R-22 systems that are already installed to be repaired, including compressor replacement, for the rest of their service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the compressor come with a start relay and overload?
Start and protection components depend on the model and are often sold separately. Check the electrical components listed for the AWG5524EXN in Tecumseh's data and order the matching relay, overload and capacitor kits if your old parts are worn.
Can I use it on a different refrigerant?
Only on the refrigerants it is rated for: R-22, R-407C. Using any other refrigerant can damage the compressor and void the warranty.
What should I do before installing it?
Find out why the old compressor failed, replace the filter drier, pull a deep vacuum and charge by weight to the equipment's nameplate.
