When you're replacing a compressor in a commercial refrigeration system, the first questions usually center on refrigerant, electrical supply, and the exact duty the compressor has to handle. The Secop SCE21CNLX answers those questions with a R290 design, a 115V/60Hz rating, and a low back pressure (LBP) specification.
Quick verdict
The Secop SCE21CNLX is a purpose-built R290 compressor for low-temperature commercial refrigeration. With a 115V/60Hz electrical rating and an LBP designation, it fits systems that need a natural-refrigerant replacement. The listed price is USD 418.36.
Who it suits
You'll want to evaluate this compressor if you service reach-in coolers, display cases, or other commercial equipment running R290. It's also a direct fit candidate if your existing model appears on the stated replacement list: Embraco NT2180UV, True 963165, C-25250, 936264, and 986682.
What stands out from the listed details
The most important detail is the natural refrigerant. R290 (propane) gives the SCE21CNLX a very low GWP profile while keeping efficiency high. The 115-127V/60Hz rating aligns with standard single-phase power, and the 8.62-inch height helps when you're working with limited machine-compartment space.
Because it's an LBP compressor, the SCE21CNLX is not a generic stand-in for all systems. Instead, it's matched to low-back-pressure, low-temperature applications. The compatibility list narrows the question from "will it work?" to "does it match my unit?"
Meaningful trade-offs
R290 is a flammable refrigerant, so your system and service environment must be set up for propane. The LBP duty also keeps this compressor out of medium- and high-temperature applications. And the price reflects a commercial-grade component, not a bargain-bin part.
Bottom line
The Secop SCE21CNLX makes a compelling case for a 115V low-temperature commercial refrigeration system that is ready for R290. It delivers a clear compatibility path for several common replacements, but you need to confirm your electrical supply and refrigerant handling setup before committing.

The Secop SCE21CNLX stands out for combining R290's low-GWP operation with a practical 115V LBP format, and the compatibility list makes it easy to check against your current Embraco or True model. The main limitation is that this is a specialized low-temperature choice; the listed price of USD 418.36 signals commercial-grade equipment, so you should be sure this matches your exact job before you buy.
