5 Scroll compression principle The scroll compression process The scroll compression process is illustrated below. The center of the orbiting scroll traces a circular path around the center of the fixed scroll. This movement creates symmetrical compression pockets between the two scroll elements. Low pressure suction gas is trapped within each crescent-shaped pocket as it forms at the periphery of the scrolls; the continuous motion of the orbiting scroll seals the pocket, which decreases in volume as the it moves towards the center of the scroll set, with corresponding increase in gas pressure. Maximum compression is achieved after three complete orbits, as the pocket reaches the discharge port at the center. Scroll compression is a continuous process: during the second orbit, while one pocket of gas is being compressed, more gas enters a new pocket formed at the periphery. Simultaneously, another is being discharged. First orbit: SUCTION Second orbit: COMPRESSION Third orbit: DISCHARGE Danfoss scroll compressors are manufactured using the most advanced machining, assembly, and process control techniques. In designing both the compressor and the factory, first priorities were high standards of reliability and process control. The result is a highly efficient product with a low sound level and with the highest reliability obtainable. 5

8 operating envelopes Operating envelopes The operating envelopes for Danfoss scroll compressors are given in the figures below, where the condensing and evaporating temperatures represent the range for steady-state operation. Under transient conditions, such as start-up and defrost for heat pump applications, compressors may operate outside these envelopes for short periods. The figures below show the operating envelopes for HR / HL / HC compressors with refrigerants R-22, R-407C and R-410A with model variation related to T or U design optimization. The operating limits serve to define the envelope within which reliable operations of the compressor are guaranteed: Maximum discharge gas temperature: +275 F Suction superheat below 9 F is not recommended due to the risk of liquid floodback Maximum superheat of 54 F Minimum and maximum evaporating and condensing temperatures as per the operating envelopes.

16 Electrical connections and wiring Wiring connections Danfoss scroll compressors will only compress gas while rotating counterclockwise (when viewed from the compressor top). Reverse rotation is not a consideration with singlephase motors, since they will start and run in only one direction. Threephase motors, however, will start and run in either direction, depending on the phase angles of the supplied power. Care must be taken during installation to ensure that the compressor operates in the correct direction. Proper rotation is verified by observing suction and discharge pressures with the compressor operating. A decrease in discharge pressure and an increase in suction pressure indicates reverse rotation. After several minutes of operation, if a compressor is rotating in the wrong direction, the compressor line break motor protector will interrupt power to the compressor. As corrective action, disconnect power and switch any two power leads at the unit contactor. Never switch leads directly at the compressor. Internal wiring of Danfoss three-phase scroll compressors is consistent with the direction of rotation. Correct phasing, once determined for a specific system or installation, should maintain proper rotation direction. A phase monitor will ensure correct rotation when power is applied The drawings below show electrical terminal labeling and should be used as a reference when wiring the compressor. For three phase applications, the terminals are labeled T1, T2, and T3. For single-phase applications the terminals are labeled C (common), S (start), and R (run).

17 system DESIGN recommendations General Successful application of scroll compressors is dependent on careful selection of the compressor for the application. If the compressor is not Essential piping design considerations Proper piping practices ensure adequate oil return, even under minimum load conditions. Special consideration must be given to the size and slope of the tubing coming from the evaporator, which should be designed so as not to trap oil and to prevent oil and refrigerant migration back to the compressor during offcycles. If the evaporator is situated above the compressor, as is often the case in split or remote condenser systems, the addition of a pump-down cycle is strongly recommended. If a pumpdown cycle were to be omitted, the suction line must have a loop at the evaporator outlet to prevent refrigerant from draining into the compressor during off-cycles. If the evaporator is situated below the compressor, a trap must be put in the suction riser to prevent liquid refrigerant from collecting at the thermal bulb location (see fig. 1). When the condenser is mounted at a higher position than the compressor, a suitably sized «U»-shaped trap close to the compressor is necessary to prevent oil leaving the compressor correct for the system, it may operate beyond its design limits, resulting in poor performance, reduced reliability, or both. from draining back to the discharge side of the compressor during off cycle. The upper loop also helps prevent condensed liquid refrigerant from draining back to a stopped compressor (see fig. 2). The maximum elevation difference between the indoor and outdoor section cannot exceed 26 ft. System manufacturers should specify precautions for any applications that exceed these limits to ensure compressor reliability. Piping should be designed with adequate three-dimensional flexibility. Proper tubing mounts should be installed where it is in contact with the surrounding structure. This protection is necessary to avoid excess vibration, that can result in connection or tube failure due to fatigue or prolonged abrasion. Aside from tubing and connection damage, excess vibration may be transmitted to the surrounding structure and cause an unacceptable noise level. (For more information on noise and vibration, see the section on: "Sound and vibration management" p.24).

18 system DESIGn recommendations Oil level checking and top-up In installations with good oil return and line runs up to 50 ft, no additional oil is required. If installation lines exceed 50 ft, additional oil may be needed. 1 or 2% of the total system refrigerant charge (in weight) can be used to roughly define the required oil top-up quantity. Always use oil from new cans. Top-up the oil while the compressor is idle. Use any accessible connector on the compressor suction line and a suitable pump. Refrigerant charge limits The refrigerant charge limits listed in the table below will help evaluate the required compressor protection in relation with the system charge and the application. Notes: for reversible heat pump systems and other specific applications, please refer to section "Specific Application Recommendations" on page 23. Compressor models HRM HRP HRH HRM / HLM HRP / HLP HRH / HLH HLJ HCM HCP Refrigerant charge limit (lb) Minimum sump superheat High pressure ratio The minimum sump temperature should be in the range from 10 F to 30 F above saturated suction Scroll compressors are machines with fixed volume ratio and operate more efficiently near the design pressure ratio. In the extreme case, do not exceed a 7.5:1 pressure ratio (absolute discharge pressure to absolute suction temperature. Refer to the floodback test criteria on pages 21 and 22. pressure) for extended periods. The Danfoss scroll compressor is equipped with an internal pressure relief valve for protection against blocked condenser and fan failure conditions. High and low pressure protection High pressure A high-pressure (HP) safety switch is recommended to shut down the compressor if discharge pressure exceeds the values shown in the table below. The high-pressure switch can be set to lower values depending on the application and ambient conditions. The HP switch must either be placed in a lockout circuit or consist of a manual reset device to prevent cycling around the high-pressure limit. If a discharge valve is used, the HP switch must be connected to the service valve gauge port, which must not be isolated. Note: because power consumption of scroll compressors is almost directly proportional to discharge pressure, the high-pressure control can be used to indirectly limit the maximum current draw. A high-pressure control used in this manner, though, can never replace an external overload protector. Danfoss HCM/HCP scroll compressors are not equipped with an internal pressure relief valve; therefore a high pressure switch is required, set no higher than the limits given in the table below. 18

19 system DESIGn recommendations Low pressure A low pressure (LP) safety switch is recommended. Deep vacuum operation of a scroll compressor can cause internal electrical arcing and scroll instability. Danfoss scroll compressors exhibit high volumetric efficiency and could therefore draw very low vacuum levels, which could induce those problems. The minimum low-pressure safety switch (loss of charge safety switch) setting is given in the following table. For systems without pump-down, the LP safety switch must either be a manual lockout device or an automatic switch wired into an electrical lockout circuit. The LP switch tolerance must not allow for vacuum operation of the compressor. LP switch settings for pump-down cycles with automatic reset are also listed in the table below: R22 R407C R410A Working pressure range high side psig Working pressure range low side psig Maximum high pressure safety switch setting psig Minimum low pressure safety switch setting psig Minimum low pressure pump-down switch setting psig LP safety switch must never be bypassed. Recommended pump-down switch settings: psig (R-22, R-407C) and 36 psig (R-410A) below nominal evaporating pressure. Depends on the models, check on the nameplate Maximum discharge gas temperature The discharge temperature depends on the combination of evaporating temperature, condensing temperature and suction gas superheat. Discharge gas temperature should be controlled with an isolated thermocouple or with a thermostat attached to the discharge line 6 inches (15 cm) from the compressor shell. Maximum discharge gas temperature must not exceed 275 F (135 C) when compressors are running within their approved operating envelope. Phase sequence and reverse rotation protection Use a phase meter to establish the phase orders and connect line phases L1, L2 and L3 to terminals T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The compressor will only operate properly in a single direction, and the motor is wound so that if the connections are correct, direction of rotation will also be correct. This is particularly important with threephase compressors since the motor will run equally well in both directions. Reverse rotation results in excessive noise; no pressure differential between suction and discharge and suction line warming rather than immediate cooling. A service technician should be present at initial start-up to verify that supply power is properly phased and that compressor and blowers are rotating in the correct direction. Danfoss scroll compressors are designed to operate for a maximum of 150 cycles (hours) in reverse, but as a reverse rotation situation can go unnoticed for longer periods, phase monitors are recommended. For compressors HLM078, HLP081, HLJ083 and larger, phase monitors are required for all applications. Danfoss also recommends phase protection for residential compressors. The selected phase sensing device should lock out the compressor from operation in reverse. 19

20 system DESIGn recommendations Internal motor protection On/off cycling (cycle rate limit) Danfoss scroll compressors are equipped with internal line break protectors mounted on their motor windings. The protectors are automatic reset devices, each containing a snap action bimetal switch. Internal protectors respond to overcurrent and to high temperature. They are designed to interrupt motor current under a variety of fault conditions, such Danfoss recommends a restart delay timer to limit compressor cycling. The timer prevents reverse compressor rotation, which may occur during brief power interruptions. The system must be designed in a way that guarantees a minimum compressor run time of 2 minutes so as to provide for sufficient motor cooling as failure to start, running overload, and fan failure. In single-phase compressors, internal protectors guard against external miswiring (as when electrical connections to the Run (R) and Start (S) terminals are reversed). In three-phase compressors, the internal protectors provide protection during secondary single-phase conditions (loss of phase). after start-up along with proper oil return. Note that the oil return may vary since it depends upon system design. There must be no more than 12 starts per hour. More than 12 will reduce the service life of the motor-compressor unit. A three-minute (180-sec) minum off time time recommended. Voltage imbalance For three-phase applications the voltage measured at the compressor terminals for each phase should be Preventing liquid floodback Danfoss recommends the use of a thermostatic expansion valve for all air conditioning and heat pump applications. A TXV has two key benefits: it provides modulating control of the system under varying load conditions, and it protects the compressors from floodback during adverse running conditions. within ± 2% of the average for all phases. Excessive liquid refrigerant floodback during steady state operation is a major system design consideration for all types of compressors. Oil dilution that occurs with excessive floodback can have a significant adverse effect on bearing reliability. Suction accumulators may be required in some applications to prevent floodback. Testing for excessive liquid floodback Split unit cooling mode 20 When the use of fixed orifice devices is specified in the system design, and when a TXV is applied at the limit of its control range, tests should be conducted to determine if a suction Set up a system with the smallest rated indoor section for the tested outdoor section. Charge the system with 120% of the system nameplate charge using 25 ft. (7.62 m) of interconnecting tubing. Ensure that both indoor and outdoor sections have full airflow. Apply voltage to the compressor. Operate the system at 115 F (46.1 C) dry bulb outdoors and 67 F (19.4 C) accumulator is needed. Refer to the flowcharts on pages 21 and 22 to determine when to apply the excessive liquid floodback test. dry bulb and 57 F (13.9 C) wet bulb indoors for a minimum of one hour. Unless the sump superheat is in the area designated Acceptable Zone in the chart on page 22, a suction accumulator is required. (Sump superheat is found by subtracting saturated suction temperature from compressor base temperature.)

21 system DESIGn recommendations Split unit heating mode Repeat the test, but with the system in heating mode and the outdoor temperature at 0 F (-17.8 C) dry bulb. If the sump superheat is not in the ACCEPTABLE ZONE shown in the Floodback Requirement graph on the next page, a suction accumulator is required.

23 specific application recommendations Crankcase heater Reversible heat pump systems Crankcase heaters provide extra compressor protection, and should be considered for all applications. For HCM/ HCP , to prevent excessive refrigerant migration during off cycles, a crankcase heater is required. Transients are likely to occur in reversible heat pump systems, i.e. a changeover cycle from cooling to heating, defrost or low-load short cycles. These transient modes of operation may lead to liquid refrigerant carryover (or floodback) or excessively wet refrigerant return conditions. As such, reversible cycle applications require specific precautions for ensuring a long compressor life and satisfactory operating characteristics. Regardless of the refrigerant charge in For initial installation of precharged systems and for any extended power interruptions, the crankcase heater should be energized for 24 hours prior to compressor startup. the system, specific tests for repetitive floodback are required to confirm whether or not a suction accumulator needs to be installed. A crankcase heater and discharge gas thermostat are required for reversible heat pump applications. These considerations cover the most important issues for common applications. Each application design,however, should be thoroughly tested to ensure acceptable operating characteristics. Loss of charge protection Danfoss HCM/HCP 094/109/120 scroll compressors do not include thermal valve protection; therefore, all applications require loss of charge protection. For air conditionning, a low pressure switch is required in the low pressure side of the system. For heat pump applications a discharge line thermostat (set no higher than 275 F) is required. The thermostat must be a manual lockout type device (or electrical lockout circuit), located within 6 in. of the compressor discharge connection. The discharge line thermostat must be insulated to insure proper sensing and operation. Tandem Danfoss scroll compressors in C8 version can be mounted in tandem assemblies. Such manifolding applications require special design considerations that go beyond the scope of this document. Please contact Danfoss Application Engineering for further information. 23

24 sound and vibration management Starting sound level It is normal for compressor sound levels to be slightly higher during startup than while running. Danfoss scroll compressor models exhibit very little increased transient start-up sound. If a 3-phase model is miswired, however, the compressor will run in reverse, with an objectionable sound. To correct reverse rotation, disconnect power and switch any two of the three power leads at the unit contactor. Never switch leads at the compressor terminals. Running sound level Danfoss scroll compressors are designed with optimized discharge ports and wrap geometry to reduce the sound level when a compressor is running. Stopping sound level Danfoss scrolls have very low shutdown sound due to minimal volume of discharge volume to push scrolls in reverse at shutdown. Due to this small re-expansion there is no internal break mechanism required to prevent reverse spin of the scroll set. Sound generation in a refrigeration or air conditioning system Sound and vibration typically encountered in refrigeration and air conditioning systems by design and service engineers will fall into the following three source categories. Sound radiation: This generally takes an airborne path. Mechanical vibrations: These generally extend along the parts of the unit and structure. Gas pulsation: This tends to travel through the cooling the refrigerant. The next sections will focus on the causes and methods of mitigation for each of these sources. Compressor sound radiation For sound radiating from the compressor, the path is airborne and the sound waves are traveling directly from the machine in all directions. The Danfoss scroll compressor is designed to be quiet and the frequency of the sound generated is in the higher ranges, which are not only easier to reduce but also do not generate the penetrating power of lower-frequency sound. Use of sound-insulation materials on the inside of unit panels is an effective means of substantially reducing the sound being transmitted to the outside. Ensure that no components capable of transmitting sound/vibration within the unit come into direct contact with any non-insulated parts on the walls of the unit. Because of the unique Danfoss design feature of a fullly suction gas cooled motor, compressor body insulation across its entire operating range is possible. 24

25 sound and vibration management Mechanical vibrations Vibration isolation is the primary method for controlling structural vibration. Danfoss scroll compressors are designed to produce minimal vibration during operation. The use of rubber isolaters on the compressor base plate or on the frame of a manifolded unit is very effective in reducing the transmission of vibration from the compressor(s) to the unit. Rubber grommets are supplied with all Danfoss compressors. With proper mounting of the supplied rubber grommets, vibration transmission from the compressor base plate to the unit are minimized. In addition, it is extremely important that the frame supporting the mounted compressor be of sufficient mass and stiffness to help dampen any residual vibration that may be transmitted to the frame. The tubing should be designed so as to reduce the transmission of vibrations to other structures and to withstand vibration without incurring damage. Tubing should also be designed for three-dimensional flexibility. For more information on piping design, please see the section "Essential piping design considerations" on p 17. Gas pulsation Danfoss scroll compressors are designed and tested to ensure that gas pulsation is optimal for the most commonly encountered air conditioning pressure ratio. On heat pump installations and other installations where the pressure ratio lies beyond the typical range, testing should be conducted under all expected conditions and operating configurations to ensure that minimum gas pulsation is present. If an unacceptable pulsation level is identified, a discharge muffler with the appropriate resonant volume and mass should be installed. This information can be obtained from the component manufacturer. 25

26 installation System cleanliness The refrigerant compression system, regardless of the type of compressor used, will only provide high efficiency, good reliability, and a long operating life if the system contains only the refrigerant and oil it was designed for. Any other substances within the system will not improve performance and, in most cases, will be considerably detrimental to system operations. The presence of non-condensable substances and system contaminants, such as metal shavings, solder, and flux have a negative impact on compressor service life. Many of these contaminants are small enough to pass through a mesh screen and can cause considerable damage to a bearing assembly. The use of very hygroscopic POE and PVE oils in R-407C and R-410A compressors requires that the oil be exposed to the atmosphere as little as possible. System contamination is one of main factors affecting equipment reliability and compressor service life. It is important therefore to take system cleanliness into account when assembling a refrigeration system. During the manufacturing process, circuit contamination may be caused by: Brazing and welding oxides, Filings and particles from the removal of burrs in pipe-work, Brazing flux, Moisture and air. Consequently, when building equipment and assemblies, the following precautions must be taken: never drill holes into the pipe-work after installation. Insulation resistance and dielectric strength Compressor holding charge Liquid line filter driers 26 Insulation resistance must be greater than 1 megohm when measured with a 500 volt direct current megohm tester. Each compressor motor is tested at the factory with a high potential voltage (hi-pot) that exceeds the UL requirement both in potential and in duration. Leakage current is less than 0.5 ma. Danfoss scroll compressors are configured with the pump assembly at the top of the shell, and the motor below. As a result, the motor can Each compressor is shipped with a nominal dry nitrogen holding charge between 5.8 psig and 10 psig, and is sealed with elastomer plugs. The plugs should be removed with care to avoid oil loss when the holding charge is released. Remove the suction plug first and the discharge plug afterwards. A properly sized filter drier is required for all Danfoss scroll applications. Danfoss recommends DCL (solid core) driers for HCFC refrigerants with mineral oil, and DML (100% molecular be partially immersed in refrigerant and oil. The presence of refrigerant around the motor windings will result in lower resistance values to ground and higher leakage current readings. Such readings do not indicate a faulty compressor, and should not be cause for concern. In testing insulation resistance, Danfoss recommends that the system be first operated briefly to distribute refrigerant throughout the system. Following this brief operation, retest the compressor for insulation resistance or current leakage. The plugs shall be removed only just before connecting the compressor to the installation in order to avoid moisture entering the compressor. When the plugs are removed, it is essential to keep the compressor in an upright position so as to avoid oil spillage. seives) driers for HFC refrigerants R407C and R-410A with POE or PVE oil.

27 installation Compressor replacement after motor burn out Tube brazing procedure Brazing material Compressor connection activated alumina are recommended. The drier is to be oversized rather than undersized. When selecting a drier, always take into account its capacity If there has been a motor burnout follow the evacuation procedure described on page 28. Remove and replace the liquid line filter drier and install a Danfoss type DAS burnout drier of appropriate capacity. Do not bend the compressor discharge or suction lines or force system piping into the compressor connections, because this will increase stresses For copper suction and discharge fittings, use copper-phosphorus brazing material. Sil-Fos and other silver brazing materials are also When brazing the compressor fittings, do not overheat the compressor shell. Doing so could severely damage certain internal components. Use a heat shieldor a heat-absorbent compound (or both). For brazing the suction and discharge connections, the following procedure is advised: Make sure that no electrical wiring is connected to the compressor. Protect the terminal box and painted compressor surfaces from damage by torch heat (see diagram). Use only clean refrigerationgrade copper tubing and clean all connections. Purge nitrogen or CO 2 through the compressor in order to prevent oxidation and flammable conditions. The compressor should not be exposed to the open air for extended periods. Use of a double-tipped torch is recommended. (water content capacity), the system refrigeration capacity and the system refrigerant charge. Refer to the DAS drier instructions and technical information on correct use and monitoring of the burnout drier and the liquid line and suction line filter driers. that are a potential cause of failure. Recommended brazing procedures and material, are described below: acceptable. If flux is required, use coated rod or flux core wire. To avoid system contamination, do not apply flux with a brush. heat shield Apply heat evenly to Area A until the brazing temperature is reached. Move the torch to Area B and apply heat evenly until the brazing temperature has been reached there as well, and then begin adding the brazing material. Move the torch evenly around the joint, applying only enough brazing material to flow the full circumference of the joint. C B A 27

28 installation Move the torch to area C only long enough to draw the brazing material into the joint, but not into the compressor. Remove all remaining flux with a wire brush or wet cloth once the joint has been soldered. Residual flux will cause tubing corrosion. Ensure that no flux is allowed to enter the tubing or the compressor. Flux is acidic and can cause substantial damage to the internal parts of the system and compressor. POE and PVE oils used in compressors are very hygroscopic and will rapidly absorb moisture from the air. The compressor must therefore not be left open to the atmosphere for a long period of time. The compressor fitting plugs shall be removed just before brazing the compressor. Before unbrazing the compressor or any system component, the refrigerant charge must be removed from both the high and low pressure sides. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury. Pressure gauges must be used to ensure all pressures are at atmospheric level. For more detailed information on appropriate materials for brazing or soldering, please contact the product manufacturer or distributor. For specific applications not covered here, please contact Danfoss Commercial Compressors or Danfoss Application Engineering for further information. Vacuum pump-down and moisture removal Moisture obstructs the proper functioning of both the compressor and the refrigeration system. Air and moisture reduce service life and increase condensing pressure, which causes abnormally high discharge temperatures that are then capable of degrading the lubricating properties of the oil. The risk of acid formation is increased by air and moisture. These condition can lead to copper plating. All these phenomena may cause both mechanical and electrical compressor failures. The usual method for avoiding such problems is a vacuum pump-down executed with a vacuum pump, creating a minimum vacuum of 500 microns (0.67 mbar). Please refer to Bulletin "Vaccum pump down and dehydration procedure" (TI , contact Danfoss for more information.) Be sure to follow all government regulations regarding refrigerant reclamation and storage. Refrigerant charging It is recommended that system charging be done using the weighed charge method, adding refrigerant to the high side of the system. Charging the high and low sides of a system with gas simultaneously at a controlled rate is also an acceptable method. Do not exceed the recommended unit charge, and never charge liquid to the low pressure side. Maximum inclination Maximum inclination from the vertical plane while operating must not exceed 7 degrees. 28
