    Design features 2.6.1 Construction Standard Figure 1 All K-, L- and S-Series compressors are fitted with “Reed” valve plates. Depending on the number of cylinders, the motor cooling and the kind of application, there are three different compressor families:  Air- or water-cooled single-stage compressors, models K, L with 2 cylinders and a displacement between 3.97 m³/hr and 22.5 m³/hr;...

    Discus Figure 2 This family consists of refrigerant-cooled single-stage compressors, models 2D, 3D, D4D, D6D and 8D with 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 cylinders and a displacement between 22.4 m³/hr and 181 m³/hr. All compressors are fitted with Discus valve plates which cannot be dismantled. To maintain the high capacity of these compressors the correct valve-plate-to-body gasket must always be selected in case of exchange.

    perfect starting even when the voltages amount to less than approximately 85% of the voltage on the nameplate. Unloaded start is not available for Copeland brand 2-stage compressors and K/L. NOTE: For more information please refer to Technical Information D7.10.2 “Starting methods and unloaded start for semi-hermetic compressors”.
  • Page 15: Oil Pumps - Suction Gas-Cooled Compressors

    K & L compressor oil circulation The oil returning from the evaporator reaches the crankcase via an oil separator chamber behind the suction shut-off valve through a small connecting bore. Due to this connecting bore the crankcase pressure will be decreased slowly when the compressor starts. Thus the foaming of the oil and refrigerant mixture will be reduced.
  • Page 16: Oil Level

    To ensure each compressor has the correct amount of oil returned, Emerson Climate Technologies recommends the use of a highly efficient cyclone or coalescent type oil separator with an oil management system.

  • Page 19: Pressure Safety Controls

    Pressure safety controls 3.2.1 High-pressure control A high-pressure control with a maximum cut-out setting of 28.8 bar(g) is required. The high-pressure cut-out should have a manual reset feature for the highest level of system protection. 3.2.2 Low-pressure control The normal minimum is 0.1 bar(g) for R404A. The low-pressure cut-out should have a manual reset feature for the highest level of system protection.

    3.2.5 Maximum allowable pressures The maximum allowable pressures (according to EN 12693) shown on the compressor nameplate are obligatory and must not be exceeded.  High pressure side (HP): 28.0 bar(g) (up to S/N 14K46143M & 14K031872M) 32.5 bar(g) (from S/N 14K46144M & 14K031873M onwards) ...
  • Page 21: Electrical Connection

    Electrical connection General recommendations The compressor terminal box has a wiring diagram on the inside of its cover. Before connecting the compressor, ensure the supply voltage, the phases and the frequency match the nameplate data. When the compressor is shipped the motor protector is mounted in the terminal box. The thermistors are factory connected.

    and a potential relay, is needed for proper operation. Assembly must be in accordance with the position of the relay shown on the wiring diagram. 4.2.2 Three-phase motors All compressors can be started direct-on-line. The necessary position of bridges for direct-on-line start (depending on type of motor and/or mains voltage) is shown on the principle wiring in section 4.3.1.
  • Page 23: Motor Protection

    Motor protection Each compressor has a motor protector. An external overload protection is not necessary. 4.5.1 Over-current thermal protection switch for single-phase motors – System A WARNING Compressor under voltage! Electrical shock! When the motor stops due to the over-current thermal protection switch, the compressor is still under voltage! This bimetal switch is installed in the terminal box.

  • Page 28: Starting Up & Operation

    Starting up & operation WARNING Diesel effect! Compressor destruction! The mixture of air and oil at high temperature can lead to an explosion. Avoid operating with air. IMPORTANT Oil dilution! Bearing malfunction! Turn the crankcase heater on 12 hours before starting the compressor. Leak test The suction shut-off valve and discharge shut-off valve on the compressor must remain closed during pressure testing to prevent air and moisture from entering the compressor.
  • Page 29: Initial Start-Up

    Minimum run time Emerson Climate Technologies recommends a maximum of 10 starts per hour. The most critical consideration is the minimum run time required to return oil to the compressor after start-up.
  • Page 30: Maintenance & Repair

    Maintenance & repair Exchanging the refrigerant Qualified refrigerants and oils are given in section 2.5.1. It is not necessary to replace the refrigerant with new unless contamination due to an error such as topping up the system with an incorrect refrigerant is suspected. To verify correct refrigerant composition, a sample can be taken for chemical analysis.
  • Page 31: Oil Additives

    Compressors supplied by Emerson Climate Technologies contain oil with low moisture content, and it may rise during the system assembling process. Therefore it is recommended that a properly sized filter-drier is installed in all POE systems.
  • Page 32: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting The prevention of failures is one of the primary responsibilities of the installer. Otherwise the user will not get the benefit of factory guaranteed quality. Lubrication problems Compressors are delivered with an initial oil charge. The correct oil level is shown in section 2.6.11.
  • Page 33: Acid Formation

    Acid formation Acid forms in the presence of moisture, oxygen, metal salts and metal oxides, and/or high discharge temperatures. The chemical reactions are accelerated at higher temperatures. Oil and acid react with each other. Acid formation leads to damage of the moving parts and in extreme cases to motor burn-out.
