Application Guidelines System design recommendations Liquid line solenoid valve A LLSV may be used to isolate the liquid charge refrigerant on the low-pressure side of the system (LLSV) on the condenser side, thereby preventing can be further reduced by using a pump-down against charge transfer or excessive migration to cycle in association with the LLSV.
Danfoss CH scroll compressors can tolerate occasional liquid flood back. However system design must be such that repeated and excessive flood back is not possible.

Instructions for installation. These instructions danfoss.com/China/ can also be downloaded from our web site: Compressor handling and Each Danfoss CH scroll compressor is equipped Store the compressor not exposed to rain, storage with two lift rings on the top shell. Always use corrosive or flammable atmosphere and between both these rings when lifting the compressor.
CH290 used in single applications, are delivered The required bolt size for the CH290 & 485 with flexible grommets. The grommets must compressors is HM8-55. This bolt must be be compressed until contact between the tightened to a torque of 21 Nm.
Application Guidelines Installation System cleanliness The refrigerant compression system, regardless contamination is one of main factors affecting of the type of compressor used, will only provide equipment reliability and compressor service high efficiency and good reliability, along with a life. It is important therefore to take system long operating life, if the system contains solely cleanliness into account when assembling a the refrigerant and oil it was designed for.
For specific applications not covered herein, into the compressor. please contact Danfoss for further information. System pressure test Always use an inert gas such as nitrogen for an inflammable mixture. Do not exceed the pressure testing.
After burn out, remove & replace the liquid line beads from third party suppliers shall be avoided. filter drier and install a Danfoss type DAS burnout drier of the appropriate capacity. Refer to the DAS drier instructions and technical information for correct use of the burnout drier on the liquid line.
