Scroll compressors, DSG240 to DSG480 | Performances data For regular updates and detailed capacities, please refer to Coolselector®2. Tandem and trio performances The impact of manifolding on compressor performances depends widely of the customer system itself. Therefore, it would be unrealistic to provide data that corresponds accurately to a particular system. In rst approach, to support compressors selection at full load, the manifold performances can be considered as the sum of capacities of the compressors composing the manifold.

Any compressor damage related to this will not be covered by Danfoss warranty. In the same manner, cables must be selected in a way that ensures the terminal box temperature does not exceed 70°C (158°F).

Use a phase meter to establish the phase orders and connect line phases L1, L2 and L3 to terminals T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Compressor models DSG240 to DSG480 are delivered with an electronic module which provides protection against phase reversal and phase loss at start-up.

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 identi ed, a discharge mu er 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.

Scroll compressors, DSG240 to DSG480 | Application Crankcase heater The surface sump heater are designed to protect the compressor against o -cycle migration of refrigerant. For DSG compressor the use of a belt heater 75W is recommended. Figure 22: DSG240 to 480 The heater must be turned on whenever all the compressors are o .
Cycle rate limit requirements Danfoss requires a minimum compressor running time of 2 minutes to ensure proper oil return and su cient 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.

Stop all compressors 4 Way Valve (4WV) stays in heating mode. EXV opened to transfer liquid from outdoor to indoor exchanger thanks to pressure di erence.
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 lter drier.

A typical content of 30 – 40% Ag (Silver) is recommended by Danfoss. The use of self- ux 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, DSG240 to DSG480 | Application Heat shield For more detailed information see "Brazing technique for compressors connectors" AP192186420580. Before eventual un-brazing of the compressor or any system component, the refrigerant charge must be removed and the installation vacuumed.
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 lling in instructions for Danfoss Commercial Compressors”...
