  • Page 6: About These Guidelines

    NOTE: Only dedicated compressors are allowed to be used with flammable refrigerants. Emerson marks all compressors that are qualified for flammable refrigerants with a sticker indicating the usage of such refrigerants. Systems using flammable refrigerants must be executed correctly while observing safety rules, as specified in corresponding safety standards such as, but not limited to EN 378.
  • Page 7: Safety Statements

    Safety statements ▪ Refrigerant compressors must be employed only for their intended use. The system has to be labelled according to the applicable standards and legislation. ▪ Only qualified and authorized RACHP (refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump) personnel are permitted to install, commission and maintain this equipment. ▪...

    Installation WARNING High pressure! Injury to skin and eyes possible! Be careful when opening connections on a pressurized item. Compressor handling 3.1.1 Transport and storage WARNING Risk of collapse! Personal injuries! Move compressors only with appropriate mechanical or handling equipment according to weight. Keep in the upright position.
  • Page 13: Mounting Parts

    If the compressors are mounted in tandem or used in parallel, then the hard mountings (bolt M8) are recommended. The mounting torque should be 27 ± 1 Nm. See Emerson spare parts software for ref erence. Standard mounting parts for YF*K1E – Soft mountings Alternative mounting parts for YF*K1E –...
  • Page 14: General Brazing Procedure

    When working on a ref rigerant-filled system, make sure to f ollow the safety and working instructions given in Chapter 6 "Maintenance & repair". Only compressor models officially approved by Emerson in the qualified configuration may be used f or parallel applications. For YF*K1E compressors in parallel applications with passive oil management, additional precautions shall be taken before brazing the oil and gas equalization ports.
  • Page 15: Pressure Safety Controls

    The minimum cut-out setting shall be determined according to the refrigerant and the allowed operation envelope – see Select software at www.climate.emerson.com/en-gb/tools-resources. Protection of A2L refrigerant systems operating below atmospheric pressure...

  • Page 18: Discharge Line Thermostat

    3.7.2 Discharge line thermostat YF*K1E compressors have no internal discharge gas temperature protection. Therefore, an external discharge line thermostat must be installed.

  • Page 19: Internal Pressure Relief Valve

    For the selection of sound reduction material in A2L applications, attention shall be paid to the electrostatic charge of the material, which could be a potential ignition source. The standard Emerson sound shell material is not an ignition source f or A2L ref rigerants (R454C, R455A and R454A).
  • Page 20: Sound And Vibration

    Systems with multiple compressors (two, three, or more) require additional oil balancing qualif ication between the parallel compressors. 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 shall be taken with a high sampling rate during the entire oil return or oil balance testing and under all tested conditions.
  • Page 21: Liquid Injection

    NOTE: All YF*K1E corresponding operating envelopes are based on the use of liquid injection. For technical data and operating envelopes, see Select software at www.climate.emerson.com/en-gb/tools-resources. Liquid injection is achieved by means of a Discharge Temperature Control (DTC) valve. The DTC valve is equipped with a custom bulb profile, which must be installed in the top well of the compressor sensing the temperature closest to the discharge port.
  • Page 22: Dtc Valve Installation

    To prevent a partial or f ull blockage caused by shavings, foreign bodies, etc at the injection port, a f ilter dryer should be installed in the liquid line before the DTC valve inlet. 3.17 DTC valve installation The valve bulb must be installed in the top cap to adequately control scroll temperatures. Therefore please ensure that the coil spring is properly placed inside the compressor.
  • Page 23: Electrical Connection

    For saf ety reasons, Emerson recommends that the electrical installation be executed in compliance with standard EN 60204-1 and/or other standards and regulations of application when dealing with A2L mildly flammable refrigerants such as R454C, R455A and R454A.

    Cable glands have an inf luence on the protection class of the terminal box . Emerson strongly recommends using appropriate cable glands according to EN 50262 in order to reach the rated protection class. Examples of correct electrical installations are shown in Figure 19 below.

    DO NOT USE other industrial gases. 5.1.1 Compressor strength-pressure test The compressor has been strength-pressure tested in the Emerson f actory. Theref ore, it is not necessary for the system manufacturer/installer to strength-pressure test the compressor again. Scroll compressors are divided into two pressure zones. The compressor high-side and low-side maximum allowable pressures PS values have to be respected at all times.
  • Page 27: Compressor Tightness Test

    DO NOT USE other industrial gases. The compressor has been leak-pressure tested in the Emerson factory. All compressors get a f actory holding charge of dry air (about 1 to 2.5 bar, relative pressure). The presence of an intact holding charge serves as a proof of quality against penetrating moisture.
  • Page 28: Charging Procedure

    Charging procedure WARNING Air/A2L refrigerant mixture in a potentially flammable atmosphere! Fire hazard! Only use f illing equipment designed and approved f or use and operation with A2L ref rigerants. Make sure all connections are tight to avoid leakage. Make sure to fill with pure A2L refrigerant. CAUTION Low suction pressure operation! Compressor damage! Do not operate with a restricted suction.

    period of time (under one hour) but oil may be lost. Oil loss can be prevented during reverse rotation if the tubing is routed at least 15 cm above the compressor. Af ter sev eral minutes of operation in reverse, the compressor protection system will trip due to high motor temperature. The operator will notice a lack of cooling.
  • Page 30: Minimum Run Time

    5.13 Minimum run time Emerson recommends a maximum of 10 starts per hour. There is no minimum of f time because 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 ter start -up.
  • Page 31: Maintenance & Repair

    Maintenance & repair WARNING Conductor cables! Electrical shock hazard! Follow the lockout/tag out procedure and the national regulations before undertaking any maintenance or service work on the system. Use compressor with grounded system only. Screwed electrical connections must be used in all applications. Refer to original equipment wiring diagrams. Electrical connections must be made by qualified electrical personnel.
  • Page 32: Qualification Of Workers

    Qualification of workers Personnel working on the maintenance, repair and decommissioning of an A2L ref rigerant system shall be adequately trained. Any work procedure affecting safety shall only be executed by qualified and trained personnel in compliance with national or other equivalent certification systems. Examples of such work procedures are: ▪...
  • Page 33: Exchanging The Refrigerant

    Exchanging the refrigerant WARNING Air/A2L mixture in a potentially flammable atmosphere! Fire hazard! For applications with A2L ref rigerants, air/A2L mixture in the ref rigeration system must be avoided in any case. Make sure that the system is filled with pure A2L ref rigerant.
  • Page 34: Compressor Return Procedure

    6.5.3 Compressor return procedure Compressors from systems with A1 refrigerant can be sent back to Emerson for diagnosis with closed connections and the oil filling inside. However, the refrigerant should be removed first. For all systems with A2L ref rigerants, if a compressor has to be returned to the manuf acturer for analysis, the ref rigerant and the oil have to be removed completely.
  • Page 35: Oil Additives

    The compressors supplied by Emerson contain oil with low moisture content, which may rise during the system assembling process. Theref ore, it is recommended that a properly sized filter-drier be installed in all POE systems. This will maintain the moisture level in the oil to less than 50 ppm.
