  • 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 that the supply voltage, the phases and the frequency match the nameplate data. The knockouts have to be removed before the electrical glands can be installed. First make sure that the terminal box is closed with the terminal box cover.

Make sure that the 2 wires (L2) which are guided through the current sensor are in the same direction. The black wire (voltage sensing) from the sensor module must be connected to the same terminal as the wires that are guided through the current sensor.

    Protection devices Independently from the internal motor protection, fuses must be installed before the compressor. The selection of fuses has to made according to VDE 0635, DIN 57635, IEC 269-1 or EN 60-269-1. Next generation CoreSense™ Next Generation CoreSense™ (or Next Gen CoreSense) is standard in all 4MTL* and 4MSL* Stream semi-hermetic compressors.

  • Page 32: Crankcase Heater

    Crankcase heater IMPORTANT Oil dilution! Bearing malfunction! Turn the crankcase heater on 12 hours before starting the compressor. A crankcase heater is used to prevent refrigerant from migrating into the compressor shell during standstill periods. It is always required for 4MTL* and 4MSL* Stream compressors. 4MTL* and 4MSL* Stream compressors use a 100-Watt crankcase heater available in 115 V or 230 V.
  • Page 33 Remove the plug before heater installation. The crankcase heater is secured into position. Insert the heater in the hole. It is also possible to secure the heater more firmly The mounting ring (preassembled on the by using a rubber hammer on the flat surface. heater before insertion) has to be pressed into the hole.
  • Page 34: Start-Up & Operation

    Start-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. Leak test As a general rule, the reduction of leaks is a legal obligation. Refrigeration systems must be checked for leakage before they get into operation.
  • Page 35: Charging Procedure

    Minimum run time Emerson 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 36: Inverter Operation

    This phenomenon strongly depends on the system design and operating conditions. Emerson conducted extensive tests to investigate compressor behaviour in terms of resonances. The testing indicates that the following hardware variables have a significant impact on possible resonances: ▪...

  • Page 38: Maintenance & Repair

    Since POE holds moisture more readily than mineral oil it is more difficult to remove it through the use of vacuum. Compressors supplied by Emerson 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 39: Oil Additives

    Figure 40: Oil removal plug location Oil additives Although Emerson cannot comment on any specific product, from our own testing and past experience, we do not recommend the use of any additive to reduce compressor bearing losses or for any other purpose. Furthermore, the long-term chemical stability of any additive in the presence of refrigerant, low and high temperatures, and materials commonly found in refrigeration systems is complex and difficult to evaluate without rigorously controlled chemical laboratory testing.
