Safety instructions These compressors are constructed according to the latest European and US Safety Standards. Particular emphasis has been placed on the user’s safety. Certain residual hazards from the compressor are not avoidable. These compressors are intended for installation in systems according to the EC Machines directive.
General instructions WARNING System breakdown! Personal injuries! Never install a system in the field and leave it unattended when it has no charge, a holding charge, or with the service valves closed without electrically locking out the system. System breakdown! Personal injuries! Only approved refrigerant and refrigeration oils must be used.

NOTE: Keep the compressor upright during installation and removal; otherwise oil could spill out of the suction tube. 3.1.3 Installation location Ensure the compressors are installed on a solid level base. 3.1.4 Mounting parts Four vibration absorber grommets are supplied with each compressor. they dampen the start-up surge of the compressor and minimise sound and vibration transmission to the compressor base during operation.
The copper-coated steel tubes on scroll compressors can be brazed in approximately the same manner as any copper tube. Recommended brazing materials: any silfos material is recommended, preferably with a minimum of 5% silver. However, 0% silver is acceptable. Be sure tube fitting inner diameter and tube outer diameter are clean prior to assembly. Using a double-tipped torch, apply heat in area 1.
Accumulators CAUTION Inadequate lubrication! Bearing destruction! Minimise liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor. Too much refrigerant dilutes the oil. Liquid refrigerant can wash the oil off the bearings leading to overheating and bearing failure. CAUTION Screen blocking! Compressor breakdown! Use screens with at least 0.6 mm openings (30 x 30 meshes per inch).
Electrical connection General recommendations The compressor terminal box has a wiring diagram on the inside of its cover. Before connecting the compressor, ensure the supply voltage, the phases and the frequency match the nameplate data. Compressors can be delivered with various types of connection depending on the bill of material: For ¼"...
Inverter operation Since Copeland Horizontal Scroll compressors are designed for mobile air conditioning applications, they can operate on inverter-derived power. The ZRH and ZBH compressors are limited to fixed speed operation at either 50 or 60 Hz. The variable speed ZRHV and ZBHV Copeland Horizontal Scroll compressors can be operated over the range of 35-75 Hz.
4.5.2 Low-pressure control IMPORTANT! Loss of system charge! Bearing malfunction! A low-pressure control is highly recommended for loss of charge protection. Do not bridge or by-pass the low-pressure cut out. Copeland Horizontal Scroll compressors require a low-pressure control for loss of charge protection.
Discharge line thermostats - available from Copeland - will provide adequate temperature protection in fixed applications. Install the thermostat approximately 120 mm from the discharge valve outlet. Figure 9 In order to avoid improper functioning due to false readings, this thermostat needs to be insulated.
Starting up & operation WARNING Diesel effect! Compressor destruction! The mixture of air and oil at high temperature can lead to an explosion. Avoid operating with air. IMPORTANT Oil dilution! Bearing malfunction! Turn the crankcase heater on 12 hours before starting the compressor. Strength pressure test The compressor has been strength-tested in the factory.
Charging procedure It is considered good practice when charging a system to charge liquid refrigerant into the high side and vapour charge the low side of the system. An alternative method is for liquid to be charged through the liquid receiver shut-off valve or through a valve in the liquid line.
necessary to pump down into nearly a vacuum to remove all liquid refrigerant from the low side. If the low-pressure switch opens, the pump down should stop immediately. Copeland Scroll compressors trap a considerable volume of high-pressure gas between the muffler plate and the top cap.
One disadvantage of POE is that it is far more hygroscopic than mineral oil (see Fig. 10). Only brief exposure to ambient air is needed for POE to absorb sufficient moisture to make it unacceptable for use in a refrigeration system. Since POE holds moisture more readily than mineral oil it is more difficult to remove it through the use of vacuum.
7. Before replacing or returning a compressor, make certain the compressor is actually defective. As a minimum, recheck a compressor returned from the field in the shop or depot for Hipot failure, winding resistance, and ability to start before returning. More than one third of compressors returned to Copeland for warranty analysis are determined to have nothing found wrong.
