OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat (295°F / 235°F) for Carlyle Compressor Model 06E299ARP

This is the genuine OEM factory-specified Discharge Gas Thermostat for the Carrier / Carlyle 06E299ARP reciprocating compressor, manufactured under part number HN68GA242. The discharge gas thermostat monitors the temperature of the hot discharge gas leaving the compressor cylinder head. When discharge gas temperatures climb to a dangerous level — a symptom of refrigerant loss, liquid slugging, or restricted airflow — this thermal sensor opens its circuit at 295°F, triggering a protective shutdown before catastrophic compressor damage can occur. It resets (closes) at 235°F once temperatures return to a safe range. Without a properly functioning discharge thermostat, the compressor is left unprotected against overheating, risking scored bearings, valve failure, and total compressor burnout.

• Specs: Opening temperature: 295°F | Reset temperature: 235°F | Stainless steel body | Fits Carlyle 06E and 06C series 50–99 CFM compressors | OEM Part# HN68GA242
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier / Carlyle Factory Authorized Part. OEM thermal sensors are calibrated to exact factory trip-point tolerances. Aftermarket substitutes can drift ±10–15°F, potentially allowing unsafe discharge temps before shutdown — a risk not worth taking on a high-value Carlyle reciprocating compressor.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires recovery of system refrigerant charge before accessing the compressor cylinder head. Tools needed: refrigerant recovery machine, torque wrench, manifold gauge set, thread sealant. Always verify the replacement sensor's thread pitch matches before installation. Recommended for qualified HVAC/R technicians only.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. In-stock orders ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier / Carlyle 06E299ARP reciprocating compressor and other 06E / 06C series Carlyle compressors equipped with a discharge gas thermal sensor.
