Carrier used to manufacture a great RV rooftop air conditioner unit. I have several of these, and have been working on rehabilitating them. Normally they are the most efficient units compared to other brands, drawing about 13 amps while running. One of the compressors seems to have died, but I haven't been able to successfully identify the specs to try and replace it.
The model is a Carrier Air V, model number 68RV14113A
From the placard on the unit itself:
Part number 99-00468-33
115 volts, single phase, 60 hz.
System design pressure 350
R-22 refrigerant, 23.3 ounce capacity
Compressor RLA 10.8
Fan motor FLA 2.43
Nominal BTU capacity 13,500
Everything on the compressor itself:
HH203-AL-057-A4
R22
LRA:54.0
115vac@60hz
100vac@50hz
51 L2707 D2 063826
80441913901 BC
stamped in casing:
TPB8044L2307
027178 or B
659240
U2957 8 or B
4233
Any help anyone can offer, I would much appreciate it.
I would also love to replace the compressor with something that can soft-start if that is possible, as it would greatly reduce the load on the generator or other power source. I had the idea of using something like an inverter scroll compressor without a variable controller - so the compressor would (hopefully) soft start and run at it's full power on the same on-off cycle that the existing compressor runs with. Is this even possible?
