Compressor size
Frequency converter
variants
Inverter technology offers more flexibility
in compressor selection than fixed-speed
compressors. Selection of the right inverter
compressor size can be made by different
methods:
1. Maximum cooling capacity: Select a
compressor size which achieves the peak load
system cooling capacity demand at its maximum
speed.
2. Nominal cooling capacity: Select a compressor
size which achieves the nominal system cooling
capacity at a rotational speed of 3600 - 4500 rpm
(60-75 rps).
Different frequency converter variants are
available according to:
Frequency converter for VZH028-035-044
200V&400V: CDS803
1. Mains supply voltage:
- 200-240V/3ph/50-60Hz
- 380-480V/3ph/50-60Hz
2. IP class (CDS803 drives are available in IP20 or
IP21 (requiring additional kit) housings)
3. Best Seasonal Efficiency Ratio: Select a
compressor size which achieves the minimum
system cooling demand at its minimum speed.
Ensure that the compressor is able to cover the
peak load system cooling capacity. This selection
makes the compressor run for a maximum time at
part load where the system efficiency is highest.
Performance tables at three speeds can be found
in the following pages. Detailed performances
can be found in datasheets and in selection
programs.

When the compressor size and mains voltage
have been defined in the above selection criteria,
the code number tables from the “Ordering
information and packaging” section provides the
appropriate frequency converter sizes and up
to eight corresponding code numbers for each
compressor model.
Note this compressor is equipped with
a four-pole electrical motor so the applied
frequency from the inverter will be 30 Hz
for 15 rps (900 rpm) up to 200 Hz for 100 rps
(6000 rpm).

Oil return management
Bearings lubrication
Oil return management function only works
under auto mode: After running at low rpm
(less than 40 rps) for 120 minutes, the internal
lubrication algorithm in the drive will accelerate
the compressor speed to 60 rps or above for
60 seconds to ensure sufficient lubrication of
compressor moving parts.
Warning:
This function is enabled by parameter 28-10 as
default setting. Please notice when hands on
mode is selected, oil return management will
A specific oil pump ensures optimal bearing
lubrication at all compressor speeds. The specific
oil pump provides sufficient bearing lubrication
not work even if parameter 28-10 (oil return
management) is set to on. If compressors run
below 40 rps for more than 120 minutes, oil
return fault alarm (A208) will report on LCP
and stop the compressor. Please select hands
on mode carefully and only select hands
on mode if the OEM has implemented oil
return management in the system controller
and qualified oil management. Under such
conditions, the compressor could run below 40
rps continually and meanwhile disable drive oil
return management 28-10.
at low speeds as well as to avoid excessive Oil
Circulation Ratio (OCR) at high speeds.
