The purpose of this guideline is to help customers qualify compressors in the unit. You are strongly advise to follow these instructions. For any deviation from the guidelines, please contact Danfoss Technical Support. In any case, Danfoss accepts no liability as a result of the improper integration of the compressor into the unit by the system manufacturer.
Introduction Product description Danfoss scroll compressor DSH for R410A, R454B and R452B is available as single compressor and can be assembled in tandem or trio combinations. DSH series scroll compressor benefit from an improved design to achieve the highest efficiency and increased life time.
How do IDVs work? Figure 3: Intermediate Discharge Valve (IDV) Danfoss Intermediate Discharge Valves (IDVs) are located close to the discharge side of the compressor. They reduce excessive compression of refrigerant under part-load conditions while maintaining the same cooling capacity. The IDVs open when discharge pressure falls below the built-in optimization point.

Scroll compressors, DSH090 to DSH600 | Sound and vibration data Sound and vibration data Typical sounds and vibrations in systems can be broken down into the following three categories: • Sound radiation (through air) • Mechanical vibrations (through parts and structure) •...
A compressor generates some vibrations that propagate into the surrounding parts and structure. The vibration level of a DSH compressor alone does not exceed 120µm peak to peak for DSH090 to DSH184, and 154µm peak to peak for DSH240 to DSH600. However, when system structure natural frequencies are close to running frequency, vibrations are amplified due to resonance phenomenon.
Scroll compressors, DSH090 to DSH600 | Operating envelope data Operating envelope data Operating envelope for DSH scroll compressors guarantees reliable operations of the compressor for steady- state operation. Steady-state operation envelope is valid for a suction superheat within 5K to 30K range at nominal Voltage.

Scroll compressors, DSH090 to DSH600 | Electrical connections MOC can be used as a basis for contactors selection. Winding resistance Winding resistance is the resistance between phases at 25°C (77°F) (resistance value +/- 7%). Winding resistance is generally low and it requires adapted tools for precise measurement. Use a digital ohm-meter, a “4 wires” method and measure under stabilised ambient temperature.

Mitigations methods: We can consider two means to reduce compressors sound radiations: Acoustic hoods are quick and easy to install and do not increase the overall size of the compressors. Acoustic hoods are available from Danfoss as accessories. Refer to the tables above for sound levels, attenuation and code numbers.
Mitigations methods: If an unacceptable level is identified, a discharge muffler with the appropriate resonant volume and mass can be installed. Mitigation Methods To ensure minimum vibrations transmission to the structure, strictly follow Danfoss mounting requirements (mounting feet, rails etc..). For further information on mounting requirements, please refer to section Design compressor mounting.

No risk of operation beyond the application envelope. No DGT protection required. DSH090 to 184 have no integrated discharge temperature protection, an external protection is required. This external protection device can be a thermostat or a temperature sensor. The discharge gas temperature protection must trip the power supply when it reaches the setting point to protect the compressor from overheating.

Only for DSH240 to DSH600. Cycle rate limit requirements Danfoss requires a minimum compressor running time of 2 minutes to ensure proper oil return and sufficient motor cooling. Additionally, compressor must not exceed 12 starts per hour. 12 starts per hour must not be considered as an average, this is the maximum number of starts acceptable to keep a good regulation accuracy during low load.
• Continuous pump-down: traditional pump-down, Compressor restarts automatically when suction pressure increases up to 4 cycles maximum. Non Return Valve (NRV) DSH090 to DSH600 compressors integrate tight internal non return valve (INRV), therefore no external Non Return Valve (NRV) is needed.

To achieve this requirement, a properly sized and type of drier is required. Important selection criteria’s include: • driers water content capacity, • system refrigeration capacity, • system refrigerant charge. For new installations of compressors with polyolester oil, Danfoss recommends using the Danfoss DML (100% molecular sieve) solid core filter drier. Assembly line procedure Compressor storage Store the compressor not exposed to rain, corrosive or flammable atmosphere between -35°C (-31°F) and 70°C...

A2L refrigerants) A typical content of 34% Ag (Silver) is recommended by Danfoss. The use of self-flux alloys (as phosphorous alloys) is not recommended by Danfoss. This type of brazing require a higher working temperature, that may overheat the connectors, damaging the thin layer of copper ,resulting in phosphides creation and joint zone embrittlement.
Page 61
Scroll compressors, DSH090 to DSH600 | Application Figure 68: Brazing procedure Heat shield Before eventual un-brazing of the compressor or any system component, the refrigerant charge must be removed and the installation vacuumed (especially with A2L refrigerants). System pressure test and leak detection The compressor has been strength tested and leak proof tested (<3g/year) at the factory.
• Phase order: Reverse rotation is obvious if the compressor do not build up pressure and sound level is abnormal high. For DSH090-184 compressors equipped with internal reverse vent valve which can protect compressor without damage within duration below 24h. For more details refer to section Phase sequence and reverse rotation protection.
If Oil Top-up is needed, it must be done while the compressor is idle. Use the schrader connector or any other accessible connector on the compressor suction line. Always use original Danfoss POE oil 160SZ from new cans. For more detailed information see “Lubricants filling in instructions for Danfoss Commercial Compressors”...
