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.
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.
PROTECTED BY DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN PATENTS Nomenclature Danfoss scroll compressor DSF for R32 is available as single compressor and can be assembled in tandem or trio combinations.

Scroll compressors, DSF090 to DSF530 | 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 DSF compressor alone does not exceed 120 µm peak to peak for DSF090 to DSF200, and 154um peak to peak for DSF270 to DSF530.. However, when system structure natural frequencies are close to running frequency, vibrations are amplified due to resonance phenomenon.
Scroll compressors, DSF090 to DSF530 | Operating envelope data Operating envelope data Operating envelope data for DSF 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 10K range at nominal Voltage.

Motor protection DSF090 to DSF200 Compressor models DSF090 to 200 are provided with internal overload motor protection to prevent against excessive current and temperature caused by overloading, low refrigerant flow or phase loss. The protector is located in star point of motor and, should it be activated, will cut out all three phases. It will be reset automatically.

DSF090 to DSF200 Compressor models DSF090 to 200 incorporates an internal reverse vent valve which will react when the compressor is run in reverse and will allow refrigerant to circulate through a by-pass from the suction to the discharge. Although reverse rotation is not destructive for these models, it should be corrected as soon as possible.

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.
If an unacceptable level is identified, a discharge muffler with the appropriate resonant volume and mass can be installed. Mitigation methods Mitigations 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. DSF090 to DSF200 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.

Scroll compressors, DSF090 to DSF530 | Application Figure 55: DSF 270 to 530 The heater must be turned on whenever all the compressors are off. Crankcase heater accessories are available from Danfoss (see section Accessories and spare parts). Liquid line solenoid valve (LLSV) A LLSV is used to isolate the liquid charge on the condenser side, thereby preventing against charge transfer to the compressor during off -cycles.
Requirements • Protect the compressor from short circuit and overcurrent by a thermal magnetic motor circuit breaker set to Max. operating current or lower (see table in section Three phase electrical characteristics). For DSF090-200, phase sequence protection is strongly recommended.

DGT) 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.

As per standards practice in the refrigeration industry, Danfoss Commercial Compressor recommend to use of silver cadmium free solder alloy and flux (added or flux coated rods). The significant silver content in these brazing alloy will help the brazing operation, providing an excellent fluidity and a limited heating temperature.
Page 56
Scroll compressors, DSF090 to DSF530 | Application 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.
Scroll compressors, DSF090 to DSF530 | Application • For the initial charge, the compressor must not run. • Charge refrigerant as close as possible to the nominal system charge. • This initial charging operation must be done in liquid phase between the condenser outlet and the filter drier.
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 185SL from new cans. For more detailed information see “Lubricants filling in instructions for Danfoss Commercial Compressors”...
