3.1 Main applications
3.2 Condensing unit
selection
Optyma™ Plus INVERTER is a perfect cooling solution for typical MBP applications like food retail, petrol forecourt sites, cold rooms ,and display cases. All units are fully wired and factory tested. They have one cabinet sizes and are equipped with one fan.
Inverter technology offers more flexibility in condensing unit selection than fixed-speed units. Selection of the right inverter condensing unit size can be made by next method: Select a condensing unit size which achieves the peak load system cooling capacity demand at its maximum speed.
It is compulsory to secure that
condensing unit capacity at minimum speed (30 rps) will not be higher than necessary cooling capacity for the smallest evaporator!
In case minimum (at 30 rps) condensing unit capacity is higher than capacity of smallest evaporator it can cause work of condensing unit outside its application envelope and as consequence reduce lifetime.
Example1 (evaporating temperature -10 °C, ambient temperature 32 °C, R404A): Evaporator1= 3 kW Evaporator2= 3 kW Evaporator3= 3 kW Total Q = 9 kW (maximum cooling capacity) Minimum cooling capacity = minimum evaporator capacity = minimum evaporating capacity = 3kW According to the capacities at evaporating -10 °C, ambient 32 °C and refrigerant R404A condensing unit OP-MPPM044 (maximum capacity 9 kW) achieves the peak load system cooling capacity (9,3 kW) demand at its maximum speed and at the same time condensing unit capacity at minimum speed (minimum capacity 3 kW) is not higher than necessary cooling capacity for the smallest evaporator (3 kW).
Optyma units are released for R448A/R449A, R407A/F and R404A.
Evaporator1= 1 kW Evaporator2= 2,1 kW Evaporator3= 2,5 kW Evaporator4=1,5 kW Total Q = 7,1 kW (maximum cooling capacity) Minimum cooling capacity = minimum evaporator capacity = Evaporator1 = 1 kW.
According to the capacities at evaporating -10 °C, ambient 32 °C and refrigerant R404A condensing unit OP-MPPM035 (maximum capacity 7,2 kW) achieves the peak load system cooling capacity (7,1 kW) demand at its maximum speed but at the same time condensing unit capacity at minimum speed (minimum capacity 2,3 kW) is higher than necessary cooling capacity for the smallest evaporator (1 kW).
In this case it is recommended to connect few evaporators together (regulated by one thermostat) to achieve smallest required capacity higher than minimum capacity of condensing unit: by managing Evaporator1 and Evaporator4 via one thermostat minimum required capacity will be 2,5 kW (Evaporator2) which is higher than minimum capacity of condensing unit at low speed (2,3 kW).
INVERTER is equipped with a IPM (Interior Permanent Magnet) motor. The compressor cannot operate without frequency converter. It will be destroyed immediately if connected directly to public network. The applied frequency from the inverter will be 60 Hz for 30 rps (1800 rpm) up to 200 Hz for 100 rps (6000 rpm).

3.3 Application envelopes

The operating envelopes of Optyma™ Plus INVERTER are given in the figures below, where the ambient and evaporating temperatures represent the range for steady state operation. The figures below show the operating envelopes
for condensing units with refrigerants R448A/ R449A, R407A/F and R404A. The operating limits serve to define the envelopes within which reliable operation of the condensing units are guaranteed.
15AB241186442766en-000801
Application Guidelines
Application range
Red line on the application envelope indicates maximum safe ambient temperature for low load (30-50 rps) and high ambient conditions (above 32 °C for R448A/R449A, 32 °C for R404A and above 40 °C for R407A/F.
In case low unit capacity required (30-50 rps) at high ambient temperatures controller will increase compressor speed up to minimum safe
Minimum and maximum evaporating and condensing temperatures as per the operating
Other operating limits: Recommendation
Discharge gas temperature
Evaporator outlet superheat above 6K (to avoid liquid flood back)
Suction gas superheat at compressor inlet within the limits shown on the application envelope
Special attention to suction line insulation will have to be secured in order to:
• Avoid too high superheat during high ambient conditions that can create too high discharge gas temperature.
speed at high temperature. This minimum safe speed at high temperature is factory preset to 50 rps (controller parameter c47: Start speed of the compressor). It is not recommended to decrease setting of parameter c47 below 50 rps as this can lead to work of compressor at low speed during high ambient conditions which can reduce lifetime of the unit.

°C maximum
• Avoid too low superheat during low ambient conditions that can create condensation of refrigerant in suction line.

3.4 Ambient conditions

3.5 Limits for voltage supply
Optyma™ Plus INVERTER units can be used with ambient temperature from -15°C to 43°C. For altitudes above 2000 m, contact Danfoss. The other working conditions should be within the limits of application envelope.
To assure that the unit can start during cold conditions the parameter “c94 LpMinOnTime” can be used. If this parameter is set to a value that is higher than 0 and the ambient temperature (Tamb) is below 5°C, the internal transmitter “LP switch c75” and “pump down limit c33” will be overridden for the number of seconds defined in “c94 LpMinOnTime”. And the value for Min on time for the compressor will be set to the largest of the values of “c94 MinLpOnTime” and “c01 Min. on time”.
Voltage limits: Min: 360 V Max 440 V Phase asymmetry: ±3% Frequency limits: 50Hz ±1%
The CDS803 drive forces the compressor to 50rps (see Optyma Controller parameter c47) for 30s always at compressor start, to ensure proper oil return at low load and short runtimes. The start delay time can be modified via drive parameter 1-71, if a proper oil return is always ensured without or by modifying this start delay function.
In order to change 1-71, a separate LCP panel needs used to change the settings on the drive, the LCP panel has the ordering code 120Z0581.
When changing 1-71, a value not lower as 10 seconds should get applied.

Installation

4.1 Location & fixings
Optyma™ Plus INVERTER unit
has to be installed by competent authorized
The unit is to be placed in such a way that it is not blocking or expose an obstacle for walking areas, doors, windows etc. The foundation where the unit is to be placed upon has to be strong enough to carry the entire weight, see unit data. Ensure adequate space around the unit for air circulation. Avoid installing the unit in locations which are exposed to direct sunshine daily for long periods. Unit has to be placed on a horizontal surface - less than 3° slope, which has to be strong and stable enough to eliminate vibrations and interference. It is recommended to install the unit on rubber grommets or vibration dampers (not part of the Danfoss supply). Installation of unit shall not be done in aggressive and dusty environments.
Furthermore the installation of the unit shall not be done in facilities containing flammable gasses or in installation containing flammable gasses.
Special attention should be paid if unit needs to be installed close to the sea as this can reduce unit lifetime due to corrosion of metal parts.
personnel and the installation shall comply to applicable local laws and rules.
Where multiple units are to be installed in the same location, please consider each individual case carefully. Air by-pass around each condenser and between the units should be avoided at all times.
Optyma
Plus INVERTER condensing units can also be used for wall mounting on suitable brackets. Wall mounting brackets are not supplied by Danfoss.
Another factor to consider in finding a good installation site is the direction of the prevailing wind. For example if the air leaving the condenser faces the prevailing wind, the air flow through the condenser can be impeded, causing high condensing temperatures, improper functioning of the unit and ultimately resulting in reducing the life of the unit. A baffle is a remedy for this situation.

4.6 Phase sequence

4.7 Brazed connections

Optyma™ Plus INVERTER units are equipped with variable speed scroll compressors for which proper phase sequence is compulsory in order to secure rotation in right direction and therefore compression.
Refrigerant connections, brazing and flange connections has to be done by a qualified installer according to EN378.
The unit is supplied with an positive protective pressure of Nitrogen (1 bar). The use of substances containing chlorine, mineral oil or other chemicals is not allowed.
Piping has to be designed to avoid vibrations, either through flexibility or piping brackets. Furthermore piping has to be done in such a way that oil return for the compressor is ensured and the risk of liquid slug over in compressor is eliminated.
Only use clean and dehydrated refrigeration grade copper tubing. Tube-cutting must be carried out so as not to deform the tubing roundness and to ensure that no foreign debris remains within the tubing. Only refrigerant grade fittings should be used and these must be of both a design and size to allow for a minimum pressure drop through the completed assembly. Follow the brazing instructions bellow. Never drill holes into parts of the pipe-work where filings and particles cannot be removed. Even during installation, if the system is left for any reasonable period of time (say 1 hour), pipes should be re-capped to prevent moisture and contaminant from entering the system.
Liquid/suction tubes are extended from the condensing unit housing, therefore we recommend to isolate the housing by using a heat shield and/or a heat-absorbent compound (e.g. wet cloth) on the copper tubing. Use a double­tipped torch.
heat shield
The phase sequence has to be secured between the drive and compressor. (The phase sequence between network and unit drive is of no influence on the compressor rotation direction).
For brazing the suction and liquid line connections, the following procedure is advised:
• Make sure that no electrical wiring is connected to the compressor.
• Use brazing material with a minimum of 5% silver content.
• Fit the copper tube into the unit tube.
• Apply heat evenly to area A until the brazing temperature is reached. Move the torch to area B and apply heat evenly until the brazing temperature has been reached there as well, and then begin adding the brazing material. Move the torch evenly around the joint, in applying only enough brazing material to flow the full circumference of the joint.
• Move the torch to area C only long enough to draw the brazing material into the joint.
• Remove all remaining flux “once the joint has been soldered” with a wire brush or a wet cloth.
Remaining flux would cause corrosion of the tubing. Ensure that no flux is allowed to enter into the tubing. Flux is acidic and can cause substantial damage to the internal parts of the system and compressor.
The polyolester oil used in VLZ compressors is highly hygroscopic and will rapidly absorb moisture from the air. Condensing unit must therefore not be left open to the atmosphere for a long period of time. Unit fitting plugs shall be removed just before brazing. Condensing unit should always be the last component brazed into the system. Before eventual unbrazing of the compressor or any system component, the refrigerant charge must be removed from both the high- and low-pressure sides. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury. Pressure gauges must be used to ensure all pressures are at atmospheric level. For more detailed information on the appropriate materials required for brazing or soldering, please contact the product manufacturer or distributor. For specific applications not covered herein, please contact Danfoss for further information.

System design recommendations

5.1 Piping design
Connection sizes! Unsuitable refrigerant flow rate!
Do not assume that the liquid/
suction connection sizes on the unit are in fact the correct sizes to run your interconnecting refrigeration pipes!
The pipes should be sized to ensure optimum performance and good oil return. The sizing must also take into account the full capacity range through which this particular unit will need to operate.
Tube size Distance between 2 clamp supports
12 mm (1/2") 1 m
16 mm (5/8") 1,5 m
19 mm (3/4") 1,8 m
22 mm (7/8") 2 m
The suction line should:
• secure gentle slope towards the unit (recommended slope minimum 0,5/100).
• have P traps, double risers and reduced pipe diameters where long vertical risers cannot be avoided.
Pipe runs should be kept as short as possible, using the minimum number of directional changes. Use large radius bends and avoid trapping of oil and refrigerant. This is particularly important for the suction line. All pipes should be adequately supported to prevent sagging which can create oil traps. The recommended pipe clamp support distance is shown in Table below:
The suction gas velocity must be sufficient to ensure a good oil return, within 8 to 12 m/s in vertical risers. In horizontal pipes this velocity can decrease down to 4 m/s. The use of U-trap and double suction risers is often required. These suction risers must always be fitted with a U-trap at the bottom and a P-trap at the top and never be higher than 4 m unless a second U-trap system is fitted.
26 AB241186442766en-000801
8 to 12 m/s at minimum speed
8 to 12 m/s at minimum speed
If the evaporator lies above the CU, a pump-down cycle is strongly recommended. If a pump-down cycle were to be omitted, the suction line must have a loop at the evaporator outlet to prevent refrigerant from draining into the compressor during off-cycles. If the evaporator are situated below the CU, the suction riser must be trapped so as to prevent liquid refrigerant from collecting at the outlet of the evaporator while the system is idle, which would mislead the expansion valve’s sensor (thermal bulb) at start-up.
Maximum safety length of pipes between CU and last evaporator is 20 m.
If pipes length is more than 20 m special adjustment of complete system is needed (oil and refrigerant charge adjustments).

5.2 Evacuation

Diameter of separate suction lines from evaporators to condensing unit manifold should be with appropriate size according evaporator capacity (securing recommended speed for proper oil return). Common manifold tube should be as close as possible to condensing unit.
Moisture obstructs the proper functioning of both the compressor and the refrigeration system. Air and moisture reduce service life and increase condensation pressure, which causes abnormally high discharge temperatures that are then capable of degrading the lubricating properties of the oil. The risk of acid formation is also increased by air and moisture, and this condition can also lead to copper plating. All these phenomena may cause both mechanical and electrical compressor failures. The typical method for avoiding such problems is a vacuum pump-down executed with a vacuum pump, thus creating a minimum vacuum of 500 microns (0.67 mbar).
The evacuation procedure is based upon achieving an actual system Vacuum standard and is NOT TIME DEPENDENT!
Evacuate the installation down to 0,67 mbar to ensure quality vacuum. It is recommended to evacuate on both high and low pressure side to achieve fast and uniform vacuum in the entire refrigeration system.
The installer is responsible for the installation of the unit and complete refrigeration system design according particular conditions of each application as this is not scope of current Guideline.
When the vacuum level has been reached, the system must be isolated from the pump. A vacuum of 0.67mbar has to be reached and maintained for 4 hours. This pressure is to be measured in the refrigeration system, and not at the vacuum pump gauge.
If pressure increases rapidly, the system is not airtight. Locate and repair leaks. Restart the vacuum procedure. If pressure increases slowly, the system contains moisture inside. Break the vacuum with nitrogen gas and restart the vacuum process again.
Do not use a megohmmeter nor apply power to the compressor while it is under vacuum as this may cause internal damage.
Leak detection must be carried out using a mixture of nitrogen and refrigerant or nitrogen and helium. Never use other gasses such as oxygen, dry air or acetylene as these may form an inflammable mixture. Pressurize the system on HP side first then LP side.

5.3 Refrigerant charge

For the initial charge condensing must not run and eventual service valves must be closed. Charge refrigerant as close as possible to the nominal system charge before starting the compressor. As maximum safe refrigerant charge for compressor is 3,6 kg initial charge can be considered close to 4 kg (will depend on tube sizes, lengths of each individual system). This initial
charging operation must be done in liquid phase as far away as possible from the compressor.
Never start the compressor under vacuum, ensure a progressive charge of the system to 4– 5 bar.
For the initial refrigerant charge service port on liquid line ball valve can be used. This port is equipped with Schrader valve.
For the adjustment of refrigerant charge port on the suction line can be used (located between oil return port and suction ball valve port). This port is also equipped with Schrader valve.
Refrigerant charge should secure stable work at minimum and maximum heat load within the limits of condensing unit application envelope!
The remaining charge is done until the installation has reached a level of stable nominal condition during operation.
Next steps can be followed for proper charging or the system:
- keep system working under the max load conditions (all evaporators working, maximum air/liquid flow via evaporator(s)).
- slowly throttling liquid in on the low pressure side as far away as possible from the compressor suction connection by default via the port on suction line as described before.
- keep under the control evaporating pressure, condensing pressure, suction superheat.
- charge system until reaching suction superheat 6-12 K at desired evaporating temperature.
Suction superheat as well as suction, condensing pressures (temperatures) can be read from controller display.
To avoid system overcharging (which can cause higher energy consumption, high pressure alarms) maximum refrigerant charge can be calculated as follows:
Mmax = (Vrec + VliqL) * 0.9, Where Mmax = approximate maximum refrigerant charge, kg Vrec = receiver volume, L, for Optyma
Plus INVERTER 6,2 L VliqL = internal volume of liquid line, L (specific for each system)

5.4 Oil level

During all of the charge procedure keep the oil heaters ON and keep an eye on the oil sight glass, so that it doesn’t change color, density or appearance and it doesn’t start foaming. Refrigerant charge quantity must be suitable for maximum load conditions as well as for minimum load conditions for both summer and winter operations.
It means that refrigerant charge should be enough to feed all evaporators during the peak load conditions and condenser should not be flooded by liquid refrigerant during minimum load conditions.
Receiver and liquid lines should be able to contain remaining refrigerant during low load conditions.
Optyma™ Plus INVERTER condensing units are supplied with POE oil, the oil separator is pre­charged with 0,3l oil. In case of adding oils always use original Danfoss POE oil from new cans.
After commissioning, the oil level should be checked and topped up if necessary.
When the compressor is running under stabilized conditions, the oil level must be visible in the sight glass. The presence of foam filling in the sight glass indicates large concentration of refrigerant in the oil and / or presence of liquid returning to the compressor. The oil level can also be checked a few minutes after the compressor stops, the level must be between ¼ and ¾ of sight glass. When the compressor is off, the level in the sight glass can be influenced by the presence of refrigerant in the oil.
Only refrigerant for which the unit is designed for has to be charged, see unit data.
In case of refrigerant blend charging has to be done in liquid form in order to avoid chemical changes of the refrigerant.
Don’t judge the refrigerant charge by the liquid sight glass as 100% correct way. It may mislead you!
When Optyma™ Plus INVERTER unit has to be scraped, refrigerant has to be disposed for destruction. Local laws and rules have to be followed for disposal of refrigerant.
In installations with good oil return and line runs up to 20 m, no additional oil is required. If installation lines exceed 20 m, additional oil may be needed. Oil charge has to be adjusted based on the oil level in the compressor sight glass.
Top-up the oil while the compressor is idle. Use the schrader connector or any other accessible connector on the compressor suction line and a suitable pump.
The oil fills connection and gauge port is a 1/4” male flare connector incorporating a Schrader valve.
Oil changing is not normally necessary for package units.

5.5 Check before start

1. Compliance between unit and power supply.
2. Check that valves are opened. Remark: Do not open receiver valve entirely to get correct pressure to the discharge pressure transmitter. Turn valve spindle one round (360°) in close direction.
3. Check that crankcase and oil separator heaters are working.
4. Check that fan can rotate freely.
5. Check for possible faults in the installation.
6. Check main switch overload protection setting.

5.6 Startup of the unit

After below steps are completed:
1) System is completely installed.
2) All electrical connections are done.
3) System is charged.
Next steps are needed to start the unit:
The controller of the condensing unit is set for R449A. If this factory setting of refrigerant as well as other factory settings of parameters fits for the requirement of your application, no controller parameter must be changed.
• For a refrigerant change go into the parameter menu (press upper button 5 seconds).
• Select parameter “r12” (software main switch) with a short press on lower button.
• Activate parameter “r12” with middle button and change the value to 0 (zero).
• Confirm the value with a short press on the middle button (the 3 LED’s start flashing).
• Go to the parameter “o30” (Refrigerant).
• Change the value of parameter “o30” to 21 if R407A, 37 if R407F will be used.
• Confirm the value with a short press on the middle button. Press short the upper (or lower) button to go to the next Parameter of the Parameter menu, e.g. Parameter r23 for suction pressure setpoint or r82
for Min Condensing Pressure. Scroll fast through the Parameters with a long press on these buttons.
• Press short the middle button to show the value of the selected Parameter.
• Press afterwards the upper (or lower) button to change the value of the selected parameter. A long press on these buttons will change the value fast
• Select parameter “r12” again.
• Change the value to 1 (one).
• Confirm the value with a short press on the middle button (the 3 LED-signs stop flashing and the condensing unit will start if required).
• After 20 seconds the display returns to the evaporation temperature in °C, the new refrigerant and all relevant parameters are changed.
It is compulsory to energize crankcase and oil separator heaters at least 1 hour before initial start-up and start-up after prolonged shutdown to remove refrigerant in liquid phase from the compressor.
Condensing unit is factory preset for quick installation and start up. Compressor drive is fully managed by condensing unit controller and therefore all parameters settings should be done only via condensing unit controller.

5.7 Check after start

After a couple of hours of stable operation following has to be checked via service parameters U :
1. Unit current consumption.
2. Rotation of fan (suction through condenser).
3. Check for leakages in refrigerant system.
4. Check superheat.
5. Check oil level.
6. Check for abnormal noises.
7. Check for abnormal vibrations.
8. Suction and discharge pressures.

Following controller parameters are modified from factory setting by condensing unit production. All Other parameters in «unit controller setting» are same as "Default controller setting"
- r12: 1 (main switch = ON).
- c71: 2 (compressor type = variable speed
compressor).
- c73: 25.8 (max. condensing pressure =
25.8bar(g)).
- c75: 2.0 (min. suction pressure = 2.0 bar(g)).
- o30: 41 (refrigerant: 19=R404A, 21=R407A,
37=R407F, 40=R448A, 41=R449A).
- o61: 55, 56 or 57 (compressor size: 55=VLZ028, 56=VLZ035, 57=VLZ044).
Following parameter should be modified by installer if controller is used as pump down device.
- c33: 2.3 (pump down limit, should be min.
0.3bar higher than c75 to avoid
unwanted alarms). Modification of controller parameters shall be done by qualified persons only.
In case of any problems with controller it is possible to connect unit bypassing it: see details in chapter 4.3.1 of this guideline.

Application Guidelines

Service and maintenance

7.1 General recommendations
7.2 Condenser
Even if main switch of condensing unit is in position OFF power still available at income terminals of main switch.
In case of any service related to electrical components inside condensing unit it is recommended to disconnect condensing unit from the power by switch located before condensing unit.
It is recommend to check the unit for leakages minimum once a year and in accordance with national requirements.
Condenser should at least once a year be checked for clogging and be cleaned if deemed necessary. Access to internal side of condenser takes place through fan door. Remember to switch off the unit at main switch before opening the fan door.
In comparison to fin and tube heat exchangers, microchannel coils tend to accumulate more of the dirt on the surface and of the less dirt inside which can make them easier to clean. Step 1: Remove surface debris Remove surface dirt, leaves, fibres, etc. with a vacuum cleaner (preferably with a brush or other soft attachment rather than a metal tube), compressed air blown from the inside out, and/ or a soft bristle (not wire!) brush. Do not impact or scrape the coil with the vacuum tube, air nozzle, etc.
Furthermore following should be checked:
1. Electrical and refrigerant connections for damages, corrosion etc.
2. The mounting devices (bolts, nuts, etc) of the unit.
3. Vibrations: if it is on the same level as after installation or any signs of abnormal vibration.
4. Operation conditions.
5. Airflow across the condenser.
6. Oil level.
7. Tightness of electrical connections.
8. Operation of the crankcase and oil separator heaters.
Compressor must always be warmer than any other component in the circuit, even if the circuit is switched off for seasonal stop.
Step 2: Rinse Do not use any chemicals (including those advertised as coil cleaners) to wash microchannel heat exchangers. They can cause corrosion. Rinse only with water. Hose the MCHE off gently, preferably from the inside out and top to bottom, running the water through every fin passage until it comes out clean. Microchannels fins are stronger than traditional tube & fin coil fins but still need to be handled with care. Do not bang the hose into the coil. Step 3: Optional blow dry Microchannel heat exchangers, because of their fin geometry, tend to retain water more than traditional fin & tube coils. It may be beneficial to blow or vacuum out the rinse water from your unit to speed drying and prevent pooling.
7.3 Service and safety advice
36 AB241186442766en-000801
If the refrigerant system has been opened the system has to be flushed with dry air or nitrogen to remove moisture and a new filter dryer has to be installed. If evacuation of refrigerant has to be done, it shall be done in such a way that no refrigerant can escape to the environment. Beware of hot and cold components in the refrigeration system. The components in the refrigeration system are pressurized; as a consequence special attention has to be paid during operation on these components.
Do not operate condensing unit without refrigerant charge or without being connected to the system.
Safety goggles, gloves, protective clothing, safety boots, hard hats or another safety equipment should be worn when necessary. 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. Do not touch the compressor until it has cooled down. Ensure that other materials in the area of the compressor do not get in touch with it.
Before Starting Repair Work
- Disconnect from mains
- Wait as stated before for discharge of the DC-link. (Refer section 4.5.1 Warning when touching unit when OFF)
- Remove compressor cable.
