Zodiac - Capillary compressor 11kW Z200 R32 - R08507

Zodiac – Capillary compressor 11kW Z200 R32 – R08507

The Zodiac R08507 is a genuine replacement capillary compressor unit rated at 11 kW, designed specifically for the Zodiac Z200 heat pump range operating on R32 refrigerant. As a core internal component of the refrigeration circuit, the compressor is responsible for pressurising the refrigerant gas, which is the essential step that enables the heat pump to extract thermal energy from ambient air and transfer it efficiently into the pool water. This is an OEM-grade spare part sourced directly from Zodiac, ensuring full compatibility and performance integrity with your existing Z200 installation.

R32 is a next-generation single-component refrigerant with a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than older alternatives such as R410A, making this compressor part of Zodiac’s commitment to more environmentally responsible pool heating technology. The 11 kW rating refers to the heating output capacity of the heat pump system this compressor supports, making it appropriate for medium to larger residential pools. The capillary tube integrated into this assembly acts as the expansion device within the refrigeration cycle, regulating the flow of refrigerant between the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the circuit, contributing to efficient and stable operation across a range of ambient temperatures.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This compressor spare part is engineered to OEM specification for the Zodiac Z200 heat pump series. The use of R32 refrigerant means that servicing and replacement must only be carried out by a qualified refrigeration technician holding the appropriate F-gas certification, as R32 is a mildly flammable refrigerant requiring careful handling. The 11 kW output class positions this unit for installations where the heat pump is used as the primary heating source for pools of moderate to significant volume. Genuine Zodiac parts guarantee that tolerances, electrical ratings, and refrigerant compatibility are fully aligned with the original factory specification, preventing performance degradation or system faults that can arise from non-genuine alternatives.

The Zodiac Z200 heat pump range is known for its energy-efficient synchronous motor technology and robust construction, and using the correct OEM compressor ensures that these performance characteristics are maintained after a service replacement. Installation must follow Zodiac’s technical service documentation and local refrigeration regulations.

Suitability and application

This spare part is intended exclusively for pool owners and service technicians maintaining or repairing a Zodiac Z200 heat pump unit. It is not a standalone heating product and should only be installed by a certified professional. It is suitable for residential pool heating systems where the Z200 heat pump is installed and where the compressor has reached end of service life or has developed a fault requiring replacement. The R32 refrigerant compatibility means this part is appropriate for newer Z200 variants that have transitioned to the lower-GWP refrigerant. Always verify the refrigerant type and model variant of your specific Z200 unit before ordering to ensure this part is correct for your installation.
