GMCC KSN89D49UFZ31 — an 8.9 cc variable-frequency rotary delivering 2,750 W at a published COP of 4.02.
FEATURE — what it is
The KSN89D49UFZ31 is a hermetic rotary compressor from GMCC's SN series, built on R32/R410A and driven by a DC inverter supply. The 89 in the part number is the displacement: 8.9 cm³/rev. GMCC's 2025 rotary handbook lists it at 2,750 W / 9,383 Btu/h with 684 W input and a COP of 4.02 W/W, a 250 mm body height and 8.1 / 12.9 mm suction and discharge connections.
ADVANTAGE — what it does better
The efficiency number is the story here. At 2,750 W of cooling the compressor draws 684 W, so COP comes out at 4.02 — a high figure for the 8.9 cc class, and the kind of number that moves a seasonal efficiency label rather than just a datasheet.
Variable frequency is what makes that usable. The drive ramps rotor speed instead of switching the motor on and off, so the compressor sits at the load the room actually needs. Three consequences in the field: the setpoint holds instead of oscillating, starting current stays low because there is no direct-on-line inrush, and the machine is quieter at part load — which is where a residential unit spends most of its running hours.
R32 carries the duty. It moves more capacity per kilogram of charge than R410A and has a far lower global warming potential, so the circuit needs less refrigerant for the same 2,750 W. The same part number is also listed for R410A, which keeps it serviceable in markets still specifying that gas.
BENEFIT — what it means in your equipment
• Residential split and multi-split systems in the 2.8 kW class — the volume segment where COP, not headline capacity, is what the energy label measures.
• Heat pump and heat-pump water heater duty, where inverter modulation holds capacity as ambient drops.
• Dehumidifiers, portable and light commercial units, where a compact 250 mm body and 8.9 cc displacement fit a tight chassis.
• Replacement and aftermarket supply: the same KSN family runs 8.9 cc, then 9.8, 10.3, 12.0 and 14.0 cc on the same refrigerant and control platform, so a product range can be covered without changing drive architecture.
For a buyer, that last point is the practical one — this is a mainstream displacement with published siblings on both sides of it, not an orphan part number.
EVIDENCE — where these numbers come from
Published GMCC handbook data for this exact model gives displacement 8.9 cm³/rev, cooling capacity 2,750 W / 9,383 Btu/h, power input 684 W, COP 4.02 W/W, body height 250 mm, and 8.1 mm / 12.9 mm suction and discharge connections, on R32/R410A in the DC inverter rotary class. A distributor listing for the same part number carries the same core figures: 8.9 cm³/rev, R32/R410A, DC Inverter, 2,750 W / 9,383 Btu/h, COP 4.02 W/W.
What we are not claiming. No supply voltage or frequency is published for this part number by a source worth quoting — one distributor lists "265V at 240Hz", another an obvious typo, so we have deliberately left voltage out. An inverter compressor's input window is fixed by its matched drive, not by the compressor alone. And the capacity figures are rated at the handbook test condition, not at your operating point — send us the equipment details and we will confirm the exact variant and drive pairing.
