Design compressor mounting General requirements Compressors used in single applications must be During operation, the maximum inclination from mounted with flexible grommets. the vertical plane must not exceed 7 degrees. All compressors are delivered with four rubber Single requirements grommets and metal sleeves. Compressors Not supplied must always be mounted with these grommets.
Manage oil in the circuit Requirement Oil level must be visible or full in the sight glass when the compressor is running and when all compressors of the circuit are stopped. System evaluation Single compressor 1. Since each installation is unique, test can not validate the oil return, Oil separator* is mandatory 2.
This phenomenon has no impact on compressor compressors. Acoustic hoods are available from reliability. Danfoss as accessories. Refer to the table above for sound levels, attenuation and code numbers. 2. Use of sound-insulation materials on the inside of unit panels is also an effective means to reduce radiation.

Manage operating envelope System evaluation VLZ drive can only protect the compressor from permanently checking that the compressor is over current. To manage operating envelop, an running within the defined envelope. advanced envelope protection principle needs to be used with variable speed compressors. When compressor reach a limit, controller can act This solution offers much better protection than on different parameter to avoid unit tripping.

Control logic Short cycle protection Short cycling protection requirements need to be - 12 starts maximum per hour: to avoid threaten implemented in OEM unit controller: the life time of motor and other mechanics due to frequent starts, OEM needs to limit the starts Meantime, the factory default setting needs to cycles within 12 times per hour.
Control logic Oil management logic SP110 integrates oil return management(ORM) function together with compressor oil boost function. But this function is disabled as default setting. OEM can enable this parameter if ORM function is needed. Otherwise, OEM must implement ORM in the system controller and qualify oil management. This function uses a timer.
