General Introduction; Features Of Carlyle 05T/06T Compressors - Carlyle 05T Application Manual

General Introduction

This manual is for the application of the Carlyle 06T semi-
hermetic and 05T open drive twin screw compressors. The
operational limits, required accessories, and operational
guidelines are contained in this manual and must be
complied with to stay within the compressor warranty
guidelines.

Features of Carlyle 05T/06T Compressors

The Carlyle 06T and 05T screw compressors are gear-driven
twin screw compressors. The gear drive yields the benefits
of light weight and footprint. One of the key features of the
Carlyle screw compressor is that all the semi-hermetic
models have the same physical dimensions and port
locations, as do all the open drive models. The compressors
range between 15 and 50 nominal horsepower, and are
designed for use in commercial refrigeration, process
06T MODEL NUMBER NOMENCLATURE
cooling, environmental chamber, and air conditioning
applications. Screw compression technology yields the
benefits of smooth continuous pumping of refrigerant with
minimal vibration. The addition of variable speed drives to
these compressors is an ideal complement for very tight
capacity control over a wide speed range. Most models can
run up to 70 Hz yielding extra capacity that can be used to
meet the design day load allowing for a smaller compressor
running at lower speeds during lighter load conditions. This
application guide is intended to set the required guidelines of
system design and operation to maximize the reliability of the
Carlyle 06T and 05T twin screw compressors. For
applications outside the parameters listed in this guide,
please contact Carlyle Application Engineering. Unless
otherwise noted, all information contained in this application
guide applies to both the 06T and 05T models.
