AC Compressors in Bahrain

The compressor is the heart of an air conditioner and one of its most expensive parts, so it pays to choose the replacement carefully. It has to suit the same refrigerant, voltage and capacity as the AC it goes into, and it must fit the existing pipework and mounting. The surest way to match it is to read the model code on the old compressor's nameplate.

Before you replace a compressor, rule out the cheaper causes of the same symptoms: a weak run capacitor, a worn contactor or a low refrigerant charge. Our guide to the warning signs of a failing AC compressor explains what to check first.

Our catalogue currently lists 7 rotary AC compressors from GMCC for R22 and R410A systems. Each product has its own page with the model number and the specifications we hold for it. Stock changes, so message us the product code on WhatsApp to confirm availability and price.

Capacity guide and comparable models

Approximate cooling capacity of the AC compressors we list, at about 50 Hz. Figures are rounded and for orientation only; the model code on the nameplate of your old compressor is the reference. 12,000 BTU/h is 1 ton.

Comparable models from other makers

Reference models come from manufacturer and distributor listings; some are discontinued. They show which models sit in the same refrigerant and capacity class, not drop-in replacements: compressors differ in mounting, oil, electrical type and connections. Always match the model code on the original compressor. Brand names belong to their owners and Coolway is not affiliated with them. Copeland ZR models are scroll compressors whose number is the nominal capacity in thousands of BTU/h at 60 Hz, about 83% of that at 50 Hz.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the right replacement AC compressor?

Read the model code on the old compressor's nameplate and note the refrigerant and the capacity of the air conditioner. Send us these on WhatsApp and we will confirm a match before you buy.

Can I fit a compressor that uses a different refrigerant?

No. A compressor must match the refrigerant and oil used in the system, so choose one rated for the same refrigerant as your air conditioner.

What should I check before replacing a compressor?

Check the run capacitor, the contactor and the refrigerant charge first. A weak capacitor or a worn contactor can look like a compressor fault.

How many BTU is an AC compressor, and which size do I need?

The size is set by the air conditioner the compressor was built for, not by the room. The table on this page gives the approximate capacity of each model we list in BTU/h (12,000 BTU/h is about 1 ton). Keep the same refrigerant and a capacity close to the original, and send us the model code from the old nameplate so we can confirm.
