Frequently asked questions

What refrigerants does the Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB support?

The Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB is qualified for R12. The table above lists capacity at ultra-low, low, medium and high temperature duty for each refrigerant, with the evaporating and condensing temperature each value was calculated at. Those conditions differ by refrigerant, so read them per row.

What is the cooling capacity of the Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB?

Running on R12, the Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB delivers 8.7 kW at MT (-10 / 45 °C), 10.73 kW at HT (-5 / 45 °C). These are calculated cooling capacities at the rating basis the manufacturer declares with its data, not measured values. Use the Benchmark tool to evaluate capacity at your exact SST/SDT and superheat conditions.

What type of compressor is the Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB?

DigiEntropy classifies the Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB as 2D. Browse the Copeland catalog to compare nearby models from the same brand.

Can the Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB be retrofit to a lower-GWP refrigerant under EU F-Gas Regulation 2024/573?

Open the F-Gas Retrofit tool with this model pre-selected to see drop-in alternatives ranked by capacity match, COP, GWP, PFAS impact, and 2026/2030/2035 phase-out timeline.

Where does the Copeland 2DA3-0500-CFB performance data come from?

From Copeland's own published performance data, evaluated at the suction and liquid conditions the manufacturer declares with it. Which rating standard the manufacturer certifies to (EN 12900 or AHRI 540) is not stated on this page; check the manufacturer's datasheet. Fit your own data in the Polynomial Fitter tool.
