Single-Compressor Module Important Safety Information afety ymbols sed iN aNual SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL When you see this symbol on the Compressor Module or in this manual, look for one of the following words and be aware of the potential for personal injury or property damage. WARNING A Warning describes hazards that CAN or WILL cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage.
Single-Compressor Module Introduction NtroduCtioN The Copeland Scroll SZO22 Compressor Module comes equipped with one Copeland Scroll ® ® Compressor designed for Class I, Division II applications. The Compressor Module is designed for assembly into a Compressor Package ready for service in the field; the completed housing is done by equipment Packagers.
Single-Compressor Module Introduction The Compressor The Compressor refers to the Copeland Scroll Compressor. Figure 2 shows a cross-section of a ® Compressor and its key components. Figure 2 Copeland Scroll Compressor Cross Section (not shown: Encapsulated Stator) ® The Compressor Package The Compressor Package consists of the Compressor Module housed in an assembly ready for service in the field.
Single-Compressor Module Installation NstallatioN Installation Guidelines 2.1.1 Required Component—Inlet Gas Scrubber An appropriate inlet gas scrubber is REQUIRED to remove liquids from the gas prior to compression. If there is potential for liquid slugging, a suitable trap must be installed to prevent liquid from flooding and damaging the Compressor.
Single-Compressor Module Installation NOTE: Required Component – High Pressure Discharge Gas Bypass Valve To eliminate redundancy, the high pressure discharge gas bypass (recycle) valve was removed from some of the scroll modules. Packagers will need to install pressure relief downstream of our module. See table on page iv. Ambient Temperature Range The Compressor Module operating ambient temperature is 20°F to +122°F (-29°...
Single-Compressor Module Installation Installation Clearance and Dimensions Allow sufficient clearance on all sides for service access, especially for gas and electrical connections at the rear of the Compressor Module. Check applicable national and local electrical codes. Cooling air flow is back to front—from the gas connection end to the oil cooler end. Do not block or restrict the cooler fans or oil cooler.

Single-Compressor Module Installation Electrical Controls 2.6.1 General Considerations All shutdown devices are dry contact switches rated Class I, Division II that are wired to a terminal box for connection to the packager supplied control circuit. The common wires on all switches are connected together.
Single-Compressor Module Installation 2.6.2 Oil Cooler Fan Control The Compressor Module temperature is controlled by managing module oil flow and temperature. The module’s precise temperature control is critical to system performance and equipment life. Maintaining proper temperature control also reduces the possibility of gas condensing into liquids during operation. •...

Single-Compressor Module Installation 2.6.6 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Terminations Refer to Product Bulletin on Variable Frequency Drive Applications for details on VFD terminations and typical VFD parameters. peratioN Initial Startup - Compressor Module The following inspections should be made on initial startup—-typically, by the Packager—and after long periods of storage.
Single-Compressor Module Operation 3.1.2 Post-Startup Checklist Perform these checks AFTER starting the Compressor Module: DURING INITIAL OPERATION, PERFORM THESE CHECKS: ___ 1. Compressor Module builds pressure on initial startup; no unusual mechanical noise. ___ 2. Oil level is correct at minimum and maximum speeds. ___ 3.
Single-Compressor Module Operation aiNteNaNCe Routine Maintenance Perform the maintenance procedures in Table 5 at least once per year or more often if needed. Oil consumption varies by application and during initial operation. Monitor the oil level routinely to determine a consistent pattern of actual consumption. Table 3 Maintenance summary Components...
Single-Compressor Module Maintenance Maintenance Tools Figure 15 shows the tools needed for maintenance of the Compressor Module. Contact the Packager to obtain a maintenance tool kit. These are typical air conditioning and refrigeration service tools. Figure 13 Maintenance Tools Back-seating Oil pump, piston type, Filter wrench Charging hose...
Single-Compressor Module Maintenance Oil Service The oil level indicated on the first-stage oil separator site glasses varies with inlet and discharge pressures and operating speed. • New oil is clear, it may be necessary to use a flashlight to verify the correct oil level. •...

Single-Compressor Module Maintenance • Scavenge line orifice or screen is restricted. Clean or replace. • Insufficient back pressure. Confirm 50-60 psig or higher backpressure when the compressor is running. • No specific cause found. Replace oil separator block assembly, scavenge line and secondary oil separator element.
Single-Compressor Module Maintenance Cleaning the Inlet Screen The 30-mesh screen in the inlet block must remain unobstructed for optimal flow rate. If the flow rate is lower than expected even when the Compressor is running properly, this screen may be obstructed. Figure 14 Gas Inlet Block and Screen To inspect and clean the inlet screen: 1.
Single-Compressor Module Maintenance Changing the Second-Stage Separator Element To replace the second-stage separator element: 1. Turn off and isolate the Compressor from all power sources. 2. Turn off the gas supply. 3. Vent the system to 0 psig. Follow applicable safety procedures and codes. 4.
Single-Compressor Module Maintenance Platform Symptoms Diagnosis Use the following guidelines to troubleshoot operating problems. Table 6 Platform troubleshooting guidelines Problem Recommended Actions • Low inlet pressure • Insufficient gas supply • High temperature Low Gas Flow • Bypass valve open •...
