This acquisition integrated Embraco into Nidec's global operations, expanding its reach in the refrigeration compressor market.

3G Electric supplies Embraco compressors and condensing units to industrial and commercial buyers worldwide. The product range includes hermetic reciprocating compressors designed for various refrigerants, such as R-134a, R-404A, and R-12. These compressors are available in cooling capacities from 485 BtuH to 5,491 BtuH and motor ratings from 1/10 hp to 1 1/2 hp. Connection sizes vary, with suction line connections from 3/16 in to 1/2 in and discharge line connections typically 1/4 in. The compressors are hermetically sealed, meaning the motor and compressor are enclosed in a welded steel shell, which protects internal components and reduces noise. They are suitable for small to medium commercial refrigeration systems, including reach-in coolers, display cases, walk-in coolers, and vending machines.

Embraco compressors are known for their compact design and compatibility with a range of refrigerants. The hermetic construction eliminates the need for shaft seals, reducing the risk of refrigerant leakage. These compressors are often used in applications where space is limited and reliability is important. 3G Electric provides access to Embraco's product line, including hard-to-find models and legacy refrigerants like R-12. The company supports technical buyers by offering detailed specifications, such as cooling capacity, horsepower, and connection sizes, to ensure proper selection. 3G Electric ships globally, serving plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require replacement compressors or components for refrigeration systems. The product catalog includes SKUs for various Embraco models, such as the EMIS30HHR1, FFI12HBX1, NJ2212GJ2, and FF10BK1, among others. Each product listing includes key specifications to aid in matching the correct compressor to the application. 3G Electric's role is to facilitate the procurement of these components, providing a straightforward purchasing process for industrial buyers. The company does not manufacture Embraco products but acts as a distributor, ensuring availability and logistical support. For technical assistance, buyers can refer to Embraco's official documentation or contact 3G Electric for product-specific inquiries. This catalog page is intended to provide an overview of the Embraco line and the specific models available through 3G Electric.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about EMBRACO from 3G Electric.

What refrigerants are supported by Embraco reciprocating compressors?

Embraco reciprocating compressors are available for multiple refrigerants, including R-134a, R-404A, and R-12. The specific refrigerant depends on the model. For example, the EMIS30HHR1 and FFI12HBX1 are designed for R-134a, while the NJ2212GJ2 uses R-404A. R-12 models include the FF10BK1 and EMI45ER1. It is important to match the compressor to the refrigerant used in the system. Using a compressor with an incompatible refrigerant can lead to reduced performance or damage. Always verify the refrigerant type in the product specifications before ordering.

What is the cooling capacity range of Embraco hermetic reciprocating compressors?

Embraco hermetic reciprocating compressors supplied by 3G Electric have cooling capacities ranging from 485 BtuH to 5,491 BtuH. The smallest capacity is found in the EMI45ER1 (485 BtuH at 13/100 hp), while the largest is the NJ2212GJ2 (5,491 BtuH at 1 1/2 hp). Intermediate models include the FFI10HBX (4,400 BtuH), FFI12HBX1 (5,300 BtuH), and FF8.5HBK1C (3,135 BtuH). These capacities cover a range of small to medium commercial refrigeration applications. When selecting a compressor, consider the required cooling capacity, operating temperature, and refrigerant type to ensure proper system performance.

What are the suction and discharge line connection sizes for Embraco compressors?

Suction and discharge line connection sizes vary by Embraco compressor model. For instance, the EMIS30HHR1 has a 1/4 in suction line connection, while the NJ2212GJ2 has a 1/2 in suction connection. Discharge line connections are typically 1/4 in for many models, such as the FF10BK1 and FFC60BK1. The EMI45ER1 features a 3/16 in suction line connection. These sizes are critical for proper piping and system integration. Always refer to the specific product specifications to confirm connection sizes before installation. Using incorrect line sizes can affect system efficiency and reliability.

Are Embraco compressors compatible with alternative refrigerants?

Embraco compressors are designed for specific refrigerants, and compatibility with alternative refrigerants depends on the model. The compressors listed by 3G Electric are intended for R-134a, R-404A, or R-12. R-12 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and is regulated in many countries; its use is restricted or phased out under the Montreal Protocol. R-134a and R-404A are common replacements, but they are not drop-in substitutes for R-12. Retrofitting a system to a different refrigerant requires changing the compressor, lubricant, and possibly other components. Consult Embraco's guidelines or a qualified refrigeration engineer before attempting any refrigerant change.

What is the horsepower range of Embraco reciprocating compressors available from 3G Electric?

The Embraco reciprocating compressors available from 3G Electric range from 1/10 hp to 1 1/2 hp. The smallest is the EMIS30HHR1 at 1/10 hp, and the largest is the NJ2212GJ2 at 1 1/2 hp. Other models include the FFI12HBX1 and FFI10HBX at 33/100 hp, the FF10BK1 and FF8.5HBK1C at 1/4 hp, the FFC60BK1 at 1/5 hp, and the EMI45ER1 at 13/100 hp. Horsepower is a key factor in matching the compressor to the cooling load and electrical supply. Ensure the available power supply matches the compressor's voltage and phase requirements.

Can Embraco compressors be used in low-temperature applications?

Embraco reciprocating compressors are available in models suitable for low-temperature, medium-temperature, and high-temperature applications. The compressors listed by 3G Electric include models for medium-temperature refrigeration, such as reach-in coolers and display cases. For low-temperature applications like freezers, specific models with appropriate cooling capacities and refrigerants are required. The NJ2212GJ2, for example, is designed for R-404A, which is commonly used in low-temperature commercial refrigeration. Always check the compressor's application range and evaporating temperature limits to ensure suitability for the intended use.
