Dual-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.
Dual-Compressor Module Introduction NtroduCtioN The Copeland Scroll SZO44 Compressor Module comes equipped with two Copeland Scroll ® ® Compressors 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.
Dual-Compressor Module Introduction The Compressor The Compressor refers to the Copeland Scroll Compressor. Each Compressor Module has two ® Compressors. Figure 2 shows a cross-section of a Compressor and its key components. Figure 2 Copeland Scroll Compressor Cross Section ® The Compressor Package The Compressor Package consists of the Compressor Module housed in an assembly ready for service in the field.
Dual-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.
Dual-Compressor Module Installation NOTE: Required Component – High Pressure Discharge Gas Bypass Valve In response to customer requests to eliminate redundancy, the high pressure discharge gas bypass (recycle) valve was removed from some of the scroll modules (see table below). High Press Thermal...
Dual-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.
Dual-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.
Dual-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. •...

Dual-Compressor Module Operation peratioN Initial Startup - Compressor Module The following inspections should be made on initial startup—-typically, by the Packager—and after long periods of storage. • Verify acceptable pre-startup conditions using the checklist in 3.1.1 - Pre-Startup Checklist. • Start the Compressor Module, then perform the checks in 3.1.2 - Post-Startup Checklist. 3.1.1 Pre-Startup Checklist Perform these checks BEFORE starting the Compressor Module: MAIN POWER...
Dual-Compressor Module Operation Initial Startup - Compressor Package Refer to your Packager’s user manual for information on procedures to start up the Compressor Package, which includes equipment added to the Compressor Module by the Packager. Normal Operation Checklist Observe the following conditions after startup—when power is applied to the VFD and the VFD receives the signal from the Compressor Package control system to run: CHECK FOR THESE CONDITIONS UNDER NORMAL OPERATION: ___ 1.
Dual-Compressor Module Maintenance aiNteNaNCe Routine Maintenance Perform the maintenance procedures in Table 3 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...
Dual-Compressor Module Maintenance Maintenance Tools Figure 14 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 14 Maintenance Tools Back-seating Oil pump, piston type, Filter wrench Charging hose...
Dual-Compressor Module Maintenance Checking the Oil Level The proper oil level varies according to the Compressor Module’s operating speed. To check the oil level on the first-stage oil separator level gauge, use the following guidelines based on operating speed. NOTE The oil level indicated on the first-stage oil separator sight tube varies with inlet and discharge pressures as well as operating speed.
Dual-Compressor Module Maintenance Adding and Removing Oil Oil is drained from the system through the Schrader valves on the Compressor suction fittings, first-stage oil separator and oil cooler (see Figure 15 on page 21). 4.5.1 Topping Off the Oil Level See 4.4 - Oil Capacity and Type on page 19 before adding oil.
Dual-Compressor Module Maintenance 4.5.2 Changing the Oil These procedures describe how to drain oil from the system and to replace the oil after draining.

Dual-Compressor Module Maintenance Replacing Oil 1. Turn the knob on the backseating control valve fully LEFT SIDE VIEW counterclockwise. 2. Remove the protective cap from the Schrader valve on the first-stage oil separator (shown at right) and connect Oil level sight tube the backseating control valve.
Dual-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 16 Gas Inlet Block and Screen To inspect and clean the inlet screen: 1.
Dual-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.
