Please do read the following information in this page before proceeding with the rest of the manual. The Emerson™ F-Series refrigeration condensing units should only be installed by suitably qualified and experienced refrigeration technicians. No responsibility can be accepted for damage caused by inexperi- enced or inadequately trained site technicians or improper system design.

Rapid release of pressurised gas! Personal injuries! Units are factory charged with pressurised dry air to between 1.5 and 2 bar to ensure no ingress of air or moisture during transit. Pressure must be safely reduced prior to fully opening connections or removing blanking components. System breakdown! Personal injuries! Systems without a full charge or with the service valves closed should be electrically locked/tagged if left unattended.
F-Series Scroll Condensing Unit was designed based on key features demanded by industry users: • Wide operating Envelope • Low Applied Cost - Factory Built • Compact design • Optimal layout of components for easy serviceability • Energy efficient silent fans •...
Scroll compressor features Dual compliance Compliance means sealing between the orbiting and fixed scroll involutes. Dual compliance means the sealing is on both the axial and radial directions. This prevents refrigerant leak back across successive scroll pressure pockets. Compliance design also allows the scroll involutes to separate in both the radial and axial directions.
Physical Layout of the unit 1. Service valves for customer connection 2. Liquid receiver 3. Scroll compressor 4. HP/LP cutout 5. Junction box Transport and Storage Move F-Series unit only with appropriate mechanical or handling equipment according to weight. Keep in the upright position. Do not stack single boxes on top of each other without pallet in any case.
The installation position should be selected with the following points in mind: • Leveling should be +/- 5 mm. • Pipework and electrical connections are readily accessible. • Ensure there are no obstructions in front of the condenser inlet. It is recommended to have a clearance of at least 500mm between the condenser face and adjacent wall or unit.
Installation, System processing and commissioning Utmost care must be taken while handling the scroll condensing unit. Please go through the contents below to ensure proper handling: Leak test, evacuation, and charging The following assumes the condensing unit to be leak-free on arrival. That is an important step before proceeding with the following.

Leak test (by nitrogen pressure) Release nitrogen from system. Start vacuum pump and open main pump valve. Evacuation Note that the following procedure is based upon achieving an actual system vacuum stan-dard and it is NOT TIME- DEPENDENT! Step-by-Step: Check suction capability of the vacuum pump with a gauge before commencing evacuation process.

In cooler ambients, it may be necessary to run the compressor in order to complete charging. IMPORTANT! TO BE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD PRIOR TO RUNNING ANY SCROLL COMPRESSOR Scroll compressor systems should be charged as quickly as possible by bleeding liquid refrigerant into the suction line with the compressor running.
Unit Operation Before starting the unit, ensure the following: • All the electrical connections are correct and as per the recommended wiring diagrams • All low side tubings are properly insulated • Leak check is done and unit is pre-charged with refrigerant through high side •...
Maintenance Condenser Fins Condenser fins become dirty over time as ambient air is induced to the condenser. Dirty coil surfaces result in high condensing temperatures and poor unit performance. Regular cleaning is recommended with frequency depending on the installation and the surrounding environment. As a general guide, it is advisable to do this at least once every two months.
