1 – Introduction

These instructions pertain to the LLZ scroll
compressors used for refrigeration systems. They
provide necessary information regarding safety and
proper usage of this product.

2 – Handling and storage

• Handle the compressor with care. Use the
dedicated handles in the packaging. Use the
compressor lifting lug and use appropriate
and safe lifting equipment.

• Store and transport the compressor in an
upright position.

• Store the compressor between -35°C and 70°C /

-31°F and 158°F.

• Don’t expose the compressor and the
packaging to rain or corrosive atmosphere.

3 – Safety measures before assembly

Never use the compressor in a flammable

atmosphere.

• Mount the compressor on a horizontal at
surface with less than 7° slope.

• Verify that the power supply corresponds to the
compressor motor characteristics (see nameplate).

• When installing a compressor for R404A,R507or
R407A, use equipment specically reserved for
HFC refrigerants which was never used for CFC
or HCFC refrigerants.

• Use clean and dehydrated refrigeration-grade
copper tubes and silver alloy brazing material.

• Use clean and dehydrated system components.

• The piping connected to the compressor
must be exible in 3 dimensions to dampen
vibrations.

• The compressor must always be mounted

FRCC.EI.028.A3.02 © Danfoss Commercial Compressors 05/13

with the rubber grommets supplied with the
compressor.

4 – Assembly

• Slowly release the nitrogen holding charge
through discharge and suction ports.

• Connect the compressor to the system as
soon as possible to avoid oil contamination
from ambient moisture.

• Avoid material entering into the system while
cutting tubes. Never drill holes where burrs
cannot be removed.

• Do not exceed the maximum tightening
torque for rotolock connections

Rotolock connections Tightening torque

1” Rotolock 80 Nm
1” 1/4 Rotolock 90 Nm
1” 3/4 Rotolock 110 Nm

Instructions

• Connect the required safety and control
devices. When the schrader port, if any, is
used for this, remove the internal valve.

• For parallel assemblies of the compressors in
version C8, contact Danfoss.

5 – Leak detection

Never pressurize the circuit with oxygen or

dry air. This could cause re or explosion.

• Do not use leak detection dye.

• Perform a leak detection test on the complete
system.

• The low side test pressure must not exceed 31
bar /450 psi.

• When a leak is discovered, repair the leak and
repeat the leak detection.

6 – Vacuum dehydration

• Never use the compressor to evacuate the system.

• Connect a vacuum pump to both the LP & HP sides.

• Pull down the system under a vacuum of
500 µm Hg (0.67 mbar) / 0.02 inch Hg
absolute.

• Do not use a megohmmeter nor apply power
to the compressor while it is under vacuum as
this may cause internal damage.

7 – Electrical connections

• Switch o and isolate the main power supply.

• All electrical components must be selected
as per local standards and compressor
requirements.

• Refer to page 1 for electrical connections
details. For three phase applications, the
terminals are labeled T1, T2, and T3.

• Danfoss scroll compressors will only compress
gas while rotating counter-clockwise (when
viewed from the compressor top). Three­phase motors, however, will start and run
in either direction, depending on the phase
angles of the supplied power. Care must be
taken during installation to ensure that the
compressor operates in the correct direction.

• Use ø 4.8 mm / #10 - 32 screws and ¼” ring
terminals for the power connection with ring
connect screw terminal (C type). Fasten with 3 Nm
torque.

• Use a self tapping screw to connect the
compressor to earth.

8 – Filling the system

• Keep the compressor switched o.

• Keep the refrigerant charge below the indicated
charge limits if possible. Above this limit; protect
the compressor against liquid ood-back with a
pump-down cycle or suction line accumulator.

•

Never leave the filling cylinder connected to the circuit.

Compressor models Refrigerant charge limit

9 – Verification before commissioning

Use safety devices such as safety pressure

switch and mechanical relief valve in compliance

with both generally and locally applicable
regulations and safety standards. Ensure that
they are operational and properly set.

Check that the settings of high-pressure
switches don’t exceed the maximum service
pressure of any system component.

• A low-pressure switch is recommended to

avoid low pressure operation.

Minimum setting for R404A / R507

1.3 bar (absolute) / 19 psia

• Verify that all electrical connections are

properly fastened and in compliance with

local regulations.

• When a crankcase heater is required, it

must be energized at least 24 hours before

initial start-up and start-up after prolonged

shutdown.

10 – Start-up

• Never start the compressor when no

refrigerant is charged.

• Do not provide any power to the compresor

unless suction and discharge service valves

are open, if installed.

• Energize the compressor. It must start

promptly. If the compressor does not start,

check wiring conformity and voltage on

terminals.

• Eventual reverse rotation can be detected by

following phenomena; the excessive noise,

no pressure dierential between suction

and discharge, and line warming rather than

immediate cooling. A service technician

should be present at initial start-up to

verify that supply power is properly phased

and that the compressor is rotating in the

correct direction. For LLZ compressors, phase

monitors are required for all applications.

• If the internal overload protector trips out,

it must cool down to 60°C / 140°F to reset.

Depending on ambient temperature, this

may take up to several hours.

11 – Check with running compressor

Check current draw and voltage. Measurement
of amps and volts during running conditions
must be taken at other points in the power
supply, not in the compressor electrical box.

• Check suction superheat to reduce risk of

slugging.

• Observe the oil level in the sight glass (if

provided) for about 60 minutes to ensure

proper oil return to the compressor.

• Respect the operating limits.

• Check all tubes for abnormal vibration.

Movements in excess of 1.5 mm / 0.06 in require

corrective measures such as tube brackets.

• When needed, additional refrigerant in liquid

phase may be added in the low-pressure side as far

as possible from the compressor. The compressor

must be operating during this process.

• Do not overcharge the system.

• Never release refrigerant to atmosphere.

• Before leaving the installation site, carry out

a general installation inspection regarding

cleanliness, noise and leak detection.

• Record type and amount of refrigerant charge
as well as operating conditions as a reference
for future inspections.

12 – Maintenance

Internal pressure and surface temperature

are dangerous and may cause permanent injury.
Maintenance operators and installers require
appropriate skills and tools. Tubing temperature
may exceed 100°C / 212°F and can cause severe
burns.

Ensure that periodic service inspections to

ensure system reliability and as required by local
regulations are performed.
To prevent system related compressor problems,
following periodic maintenance is recommended:

• Verify that safety devices are operational and
properly set.

• Ensure that the system is leak tight.

• Check the compressor current draw.

• Conrm that the system is operating in a
way consistent with previous maintenance
records and ambient conditions.

• Check that all electrical connections are still
adequately fastened.

• Keep the compressor clean and verify
the absence of rust and oxidation on the
compressor shell, tubes and electrical
connections.

• Acid / moisture content in system and oil
should be checked regularly.

13 - Warranty

Always transmit the model number and serial
number with any claim led regarding this
product.
The product warranty may be void in following
cases:

• Absence of nameplate.

• External modications; in particular, drilling,
welding, broken feet and shock marks.

• Compressor opened or returned unsealed.

• Rust, water or leak detection dye inside the
compressor.

• Use of a refrigerant or lubricant not approved
by Danfoss.

• Any deviation from recommended instructions
pertaining to installation, application or
maintenance.

• Use in mobile applications.

• Use in explosive atmospheric environment.

• No model number or serial number
transmitted with the warranty claim.

14 – Disposal

Danfoss recommends that compressors
and compressor oil should be recycled
by a suitable company at its site.
