The PVE lubricant is compatible with R22 which easier. makes the MLZ compressors a very versatile multi- refrigerant solution. Alkylbenzene oil Alkylbenzene oil can be applied in systems using MLM series compressors are charged with Alkyl- HCFC refrigerants (R22).

Under- must be paid to current draw and start assist for voltage and over-voltage operation is allowed single-phase compressors may be required.
A one-minute time out is recommended. Danfoss recommends a restart delay timer to limit compressor cycling. The system must be designed in a way that pro- vides a minimum compressor running time of 2 minutes so as to provide for sufficient motor cool- ing after start-up along with proper oil return.
PPLICATION GUIDELINES YSTEM DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS General Successful application of scroll compressors is de- for the system, it will operate beyond the limits pendent on careful selection of the compressor given in this manual. Poor performance, reduced for the application. If the compressor is not correct reliability, or both may result.
