These application guidelines cover stationary applications only. For mobile ap plicat ions, p leas e contact the Application Engineering department at Emerson as other considerations may apply. Safety instructions Copeland scroll compressors are manufactured according to the latest European and US s af et y standards.
General instructions WARNING System breakdown! Personal injuries! Never install a system in t he f ield and leave it unattended when it has no charge, a holding charge, or with t he service valves closed without electrically locking out the system. System breakdown! Personal injuries! Only approved ref rigerants and ref rigeration oils must be used.
Product description Compressor range These application guidelines deal with all vertical single Copeland scroll compressors for dedicated heat pump applications from ZH04K1P to ZH19K1P. They also cover vapour injection compressors f rom ZHI08K1P to ZHI46K1P. Heating Heating Compressor capacity Motor Compressor capacity Motor...
5K is required. In the same way, the superheat at the compress or suction must always stay below a maximum limit specif ied by Emerson, depending on the model and for which the operating envelope is defined.

This can be achieved by the use of wet vapour injection. For further information about wet vapour injec tion, c ontact A pplicat ion Engineering at Emerson. NOTE: For information and design recommendations regarding vapour injection, please refer to Technical Information C7.4.3 "Vapour injection scroll compressors for heat pumps".

The suction stub on compressor models ZHI27K1P to ZHI46K1P is located at low level. Oil might f low through the suction stub and get trapped in the syst em. To avoid t his, Emerson s trongly recommends mounting the suction piping turning vertically upward f rom the compressor connection.
For multiple compressor parallel configurations, the compressors must be positioned c ompletely vertically on a totally horizontal surface or rail. Mounting parts The compressors are designed to be mounted on vibration absorber grommets (part of the standard delivery). The grommets dampen the start-up surge of t he compressor and minimis e sound and vibration transmission to the compressor base during operat ion.
The minimum cut-out setting shall be determined according to t he ref rigerant and t he allowed operation envelope – see Select software at www.climate.emerson.com/en-gb. AGL_HP_ST_ZHK1P_EN_Rev00...
This will prevent oil dilution and bearing stress on initial s tart -up. The crankcase heater must remain energized during compressor off cycles. NOTE: Please refer to the Spare Parts list available at www.climate.emerson.com/en- gb/tools-resources to select the correct crankcase heater model. Caution: Crankcase heaters must be properly grounded! For installation, the manufacturer/installer shall follow the recommendations mentioned below.
However, f or extreme electrical conditions such as weak power supplies, single-phase soft starters can be supplied on request by Emerson, while three-phase sof t starters are available on the market. Discharge gas temperature protection...

EXD TEVI (contact Emerson for more information). The controller has to stop the compressor when the maximum discharge gas temperature is exceeded.
Since Copeland scroll compressors have a very high volumetric efficiency their displacements ar e lower than those of equivalent capacity reciprocating compressors. As a result, Emerson recommends that the capacity rating on reversing valves be no more than 1.5 to 2 times the nominal capacity of the compressor in order to ensure proper operat ion of t he rev ersing v alv e under all operating conditions.

A sample compressor equipped with an external oil sight tube can be ordered from Emerson for lab testing. Records of the evaporating temperature and the bottom shell temperature s hall be t ak en wit h a high sampling rate during the entire oil return or oil balance testing and under all tested conditions.

Emerson advises installers/service providers to pay attention to this aspect every time they inst all or replace a Copeland scroll compressor and to use cable glands according to E N 50262 o r any other relevant standard of application in their country/region.
4.2.3 Motor winding The ZH scroll compressors are offered with either a single-phase or a three-phase induction motor, depending on the size. All three-phase motors are connected in star; single-phase motors need a run capacitor. Motor insulation The motor insulation material is class "B" (PF* and TF*) or "H" (TW*) f or compressor models covered in these guidelines.

Emerson subjects all scroll compressors to a high-voltage test after final as sembly . E ach motor phase winding is tested, according to EN 0530 or VDE 0530 part 1, at a d if f erent ial voltage of 1000 V plus twice the nominal voltage.
DO NOT USE other industrial gases. 5.1.1 Compressor strength-pressure test The compressor has been strength-pressure tested in the Emerson factory . Theref ore, i t is not necessary for the system manufacturer/installer to strength-pressure test the compressor again.
All compressors get a factory holding charge of dry air (about 1 to 2.5 bar, relativ e press ure). A n intact holding charge serves as a proof of quality against penetrating moisture. When removing plugs from the compressor, the plugs may pop out due t o p ressure and oil can spurt.
Rotation direction Scroll compressors, like several other types of compressors, will only compress in o ne rot ational direction. Direction of rotation is not an issue with single-phase compressors since they will always start and run in the proper direction. All three-phase compressors will ro tat e in eit her direct ion depending upon the phasing of the power.
5.12 Minimum run time Emerson recommends a maximum of 10 starts per hour. There is no minimum of f t ime b ecause scroll compressors start unloaded, even if the system has unbalanced pressures. The most critical consideration is the minimum run time required to return oil to the compressor af t er s tart -up.
During the system development, adequate oil return in any operation should be checked what ever the compressor model. For this purpose, sample compressors equipped with sight t ubes can b e ordered from Emerson. Oil return check test recommendations are also available on demand f rom Application Engineering.
Maintenance & repair WARNING Conductor cables! Electrical shock! Follow the lockout/tag out proc edure and the national regulations before carrying out any maintenance or serv ic e work on the system. Use compressor with grounded system only. Screwed electrical connections must be used in all applications.
(h=hours) Oil additives Although Emerson cannot comment on any specif ic product, f rom our own testing and past experience, we do not recommend the use of any additives to reduce compressor bearing los ses or f or any other purpose. Furthermore, the long term chemical stability of any additive in the...
Troubleshooting WARNING Electrical connections! Electrical shock hazard! Before at tempt ing any electrical troubleshooting, make sure all grounds are connected and s ecure and there is ground continuity throughout the compressor system. Also ensure the compressor system is correctly grounded to the power supply. If you are not a qualified service person familiar with electrical troubleshooting techniques, DO NOT PROCEED until a qualified service person is available.

Condition Cause Corrective action Compressor Check if there is continuity on the compressor external motor protector. If the compressor is warm, it may require protector open considerable time to cool down. Def ective Check if the pressure control or thermostat works system control properly or if the controls are open.
