Field Introduction

You’ll run into the Embraco EGAS 100HLR mostly in standard household refrigerators and large upright freezers. It’s a reliable Low Back Pressure (LBP) unit built for R134a. When these fail, it’s usually a hard start issue or a grounded winding after years of heat cycles. It’s a straightforward swap, but you need to match the displacement and LRA to keep the system balanced.

Electrical & Origin Details

  • Relay Type: Uses a standard PTC or a Current Relay if configured for CSIR.
  • Capacitor Needs: Usually runs fine without a run capacitor (RSIR), but a start capacitor (approx. 60-80 µF) is often added for high-torque starts.
  • Manufacturing Origin: Joinville, Brazil (as seen on the nameplate).

Efficiency Metrics (ASHRAE LBP)

Performance changes based on your evaporator temperature. Here’s what to expect:

Drop-in Replacements

If you can’t source the exact EGAS 100HLR, these models match the displacement and cooling curve for R134a systems:

  • Embraco: FFI 10HBX or EGYS 100HLP (High Efficiency version).
  • Secop/Danfoss: TLES10KK.3 or NLE10KK (Ensure R134a compatibility).
  • Jiaxipera: N1114GZ.
  • GMCC: SZ90E1H.
  • Huayi: HYE96YG.
  • Tecumseh: THG1374YS.

Field Note: Always replace the filter drier and pull a deep vacuum to 500 microns before charging R134a. This model uses POE oil; don’t leave the system open to the atmosphere for longer than necessary.
