Keep in the upright position. -
Page 13: Mounting Parts
Mounting parts The compressors are designed to be mounted on vibration absorber grommets. The grommets dampen the start-up surge of the compressor and minimise sound and vibration transmission to the compressor base during operation. The metal sleeve inside is a guide designed to hold the grommet in place. -
Page 14: General Brazing Procedure
When working on a refrigerant-filled system, make sure to follow 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 for parallel applications. For YB*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

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 for A2L refrigerants (R454C, R455A, R454A and R1234yf). -
Page 20: Sound And Vibration
Systems with multiple compressors (two, three, or more) require additional oil balancing qualification 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: Suction Line Accumulator
▪ In multiple compressor systems: to check oil return and oil balancing in the tandem or trio, testing conditions shall be at the corner points of the system application envelope in continuous and frequent start/stop cycling. ▪ In all systems: to test liquid floodback and oil dilution, all possible transient operation conditions in the system should be checked, eg, compressor frequent start/stop, compressor start after long off time with migration, defrost, switching between the operation modes in reversible systems, load changes, fans or pumps cycling at low load and more. -
Page 22: Electrical Connection
The compressor terminal box has a wiring diagram on the inside of its cover. Before connecting the compressor, ensure the supply voltage, the phases and the frequency match the nameplate data. For safety reasons, Emerson recommends that the electrical installation be executed in compliance with standard EN 60204-1 and/or other standards and regulations of application. - Page 23 50 µF / 370 V YB21K1E-PFZN 60 µF / 370 V YB24K1E-PFZN 60 µF / 370 V Table 11: Run capacitor selection table for single-phase compressors Please also refer to the Copeland spare parts & accessories catalogue available at www.climate.emerson.com/en-gb/tools-resources.

Page 24: Terminal Box
The terminal box is IP54 for all YB*K1E compressors. This terminal box variation cannot be applied in an ATEX environment. Cable glands have an influence 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. -
Page 25: Motor Insulation
Emerson subjects all scroll compressors to a high-voltage test after final assembly. Each motor phase winding is tested according to EN 60034-1 at a differential voltage of 1000 V plus twice the nominal voltage. -
Page 26: Start-Up & Operation
DO NOT USE other industrial gases. 5.1.1 Compressor strength-pressure test The compressor has been strength-pressure tested in the Emerson factory. Therefore, 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 have to be respected at all times. -
Page 27: Compressor Tightness Test
System contamination! Bearing malfunction! Use only dry inert gases (for example nitrogen) for leak testing. DO NOT USE other industrial gases. The compressor has been leak-pressure tested in the Emerson factory. All compressors get a factory 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
▪ all valves in the correct running position; ▪ pressure and compound gauges fitted; ▪ correctly charged with refrigerant; ▪ compressor electrical isolator location & position. Charging procedure WARNING Air/A2L refrigerant mixture in a potentially flammable or explosive atmosphere! Fire and explosion hazard! Only use filling equipment designed and approved for use and operation with A2L refrigerants. -
Page 29: Starting Sound
depending upon phasing of the power. Since there is a 50-50 chance of connecting power in such a way as to cause rotation in the reverse direction, it is important to include notices and instructions in appropriate locations on the equipment to ensure proper rotation direction when the system is installed and operated. -
Page 30: Minimum Run Time
5.13 Minimum run time Emerson recommends a maximum of 10 starts per hour. There is no minimum off 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 after 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: Preparation And Work Procedure
Preparation and work procedure A work procedure shall be provided in the preparation stage. All maintenance personnel and others working at the site shall be instructed on the nature of the work being carried out. If any work is to be conducted on the refrigeration systems or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be provided. -
Page 33: Start-Up Of A New Or Replacement Compressor
6.4.3 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. For all systems with A2L refrigerants, if a compressor has to be returned to the manufacturer for analysis, the refrigerant and the oil have to be removed completely. -
Page 34: Exchanging The Refrigerant
Since POE holds moisture more readily than mineral oil it is more difficult to remove it through the use of vacuum. The compressors supplied by Emerson contain oil with low moisture content, which may rise during the system assembling process. Therefore, it is recommended that a properly sized filter-dryer be installed in all POE systems. -
Page 35: Oil Additives
Oil additives Although Emerson cannot comment on any specific product, from our own testing and past experience, we do not recommend the use of any additives to reduce compressor bearing losses or for any other purpose. -
