Bard 8000-278BX OEM Scroll Compressor Copeland ZP31K5E-PFV-130 2.5-Ton R-410A

The Bard 8000-278BX is an OEM replacement scroll compressor featuring the Copeland ZP31K5E-PFV-130 hermetic scroll compressor. This is a factory-specified part designed for use in compatible Bard wall-mounted HVAC systems to restore proper refrigerant circulation and cooling capacity when the original compressor has failed or become electrically or mechanically compromised.

At the heart of this unit is the Copeland ZP31K5E-PFV-130, a 2.5-ton scroll compressor delivering approximately 31,000–31,100 BTU/h of cooling capacity under AHRI conditions. The scroll compression mechanism provides smooth, efficient refrigerant compression with reduced vibration and mechanical wear compared to traditional reciprocating designs. It is factory charged with POE refrigerant oil and engineered exclusively for use with R-410A refrigerant.
