3.4 — 06D, E High Efficiency (H.E.) Compressors

High efficiency compressors were phased in between

1985 and 1987. A high efficiency compressor can be

identified as follows:

All 06D H.E. compressors (new or service replacement)

have the number “3” in the 11th digit of the model

number. See page 3 for examples.

The 06E compressor model numbers did not change. To

determine if a 06E compressor is high efficiency, check

the serial number. The following serial numbers indicate

high efficiency:

06EA models start with S/N 4585J...

06EM models start with S/N 0786J...

06ER models start with S/N 2287J...

All 06CC compressors are H.E. design.

All service compressors are high efficiency, except for

some “D” body units without a “3” in the 11th digit of the

model numbers.

NOTE: The 06E H.E. valve plates are identified by an

elongated ear protruding from the side of the valve plate,

in contrast to the standard efficiency valve plates which

have one (A/C - EM, EZ, etc.,) or two (refrigeration - ER,

EY) rounded ears.

3.5 — Compressor Bodies Without Oil

In 1995 Carlyle began supplying new and service

compressors with no oil in the crankcase due to the

introduction of HFC/POE systems. This eliminates the

need to drain mineral oil from the crankcase when

alkylbenzene or POE oil is to be used. POE oil is very

hygroscopic (will readily pick up and retain moisture
