Operating conditions
The discharge gas temperature must not exceed
275°F.
A discharge gas temperature protection device
must be installed on all heat pumps. In reversible
air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps the
discharge temperature must be monitored
during development test by the equipment
manufacturer.
The compressor must not be allowed to cycle
on the discharge gas thermostat. Continuous
operations beyond the compressor's operating
range will cause serious damage to the
compressor!
A DGT accessory is available from Danfoss: refer
to accessories pages at the end of this document.
Insufficient oil level can be the result of oil
depositing itself in pipes and heat exchangers.
The oil deposit can be returned to the crankcase,
by increasing velocity for short periods, at regular
time intervals or when velocity is too low to
ensure adequate oil returns.
With oil return management these two oil return
mechanisms can be programmed in the CDS303.
With oil return management function enabled,
the CDS303 performs oil return by boosting the
compressor speed to 4200 rpm (70 rps) for a
selectable duration as programmed in parameter
28.13. The boosts are performed at fixed time
intervals (as programmed in parameter 28.12)
or if the compressor speed has been less than

According to EN378-2, a high-pressure (HP) safety
switch is required to shut down the compressor.
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-

The discharge gas thermostat accessory kit (code
no.7750009) includes all components required
for installation, as shown below. The thermostat
must be attached to the discharge line within
5.91 inch from the compressor discharge port
and must be thermally insulated and tightly fixed
on the pipe.
