Table 1: Stream compressors range and performance
Stream semi-hermetic compressors are suitable for a wide range of applications in the form of either single compressors, condensing units or as multi-compressor equipment.
The compressor is only one component which must be combined with many others to build a functional and efficient refrigeration system.
Therefore the information in this manual relates to Copeland Stream semi-hermetic compressors with standard equipment and accessories only.
2.2 About these guidelines
These guidelines are intended to enable users to ensure the safe installation, starting, operation and maintenance of semi-hermetic compressors. They are not intended to replace the system expertise available from system manufacturers.

2.4 Nameplate information
All important information for identification of the compressor is printed on the nameplate located below the compressor oil pump. The type of refrigerant used should be stamped on the nameplate by the installer.
Figure 1
The year and month of production are shown as part of the serial number (Jan = A, Feb = B, … Dec = L).
2.5 Application range
2.5.1 Qualified refrigerants and oils
WARNING Use of R450A and R513A refrigerants! Risk of compressor damage!
Refrigerant migration of R450A or R513A into the compressor crankcase could cause low oil viscosity, which could lead to compressor damage. When using R450A or R513A it is critical to meet the following requirements:
maintain adequate superheat settings with a minimum superheat of 8-10K; no liquid refrigerant migration into the compressor at any time, especially
during standstill, during or after defrost, or after reverse mode for example in heat pumps;
pumpdown is recommended; the use of a crankcase heater is mandatory; retrofit to R450A and R513A is only allowed for compressors which are
approved for these refrigerants.
Contact Application Engineering for any further information.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the glide of refrigerant blends (primarily R407C) is carefully considered when adjusting pressure and superheat controls.

Table 2: Qualified refrigerants and oils for recharging and topping up
To recharge:
When the compressor is completely empty of oil, the amount of oil to be "recharged" is
typically 0.12 litre less than the original oil charge (oil will already be present in the system).
To top up:
During commissioning, planned maintenance or servicing, add oil so that the compressor oil
level is between min ¼ and max ¾ of sight glass.

2.6 Design features
2.6.1 Compressor construction
All compressors are fitted with Stream valve plates which cannot be dismantled. To maintain the high capacity of these compressors in case of exchange, the correct valve-plate-to-body gasket must always be selected.
Each cylinder head has 2 plugged 1/8" - 27 NPTF tapped holes for connecting high­pressure switches.
These high-pressure switches must be calibrated and tested before putting the compressor into service. They must stop the compressor if the allowable pressure is exceeded.
The complete cylinder head is under discharge pressure.
Figure 2
2.6.2 Compressor cooling
Compressor motors must always be cooled, and cylinder head cooling may also be needed at certain operating conditions.
All Stream compressors are suction gas-cooled. With suction gas-cooled compressors, the motor is cooled by refrigerant gas that is led over the motor. An additional fan may be required depending upon the operating conditions (see Copeland brand products Select software at
www.emersonclimate.eu).
2.6.3 Demand cooling
"Demand Cooling" as the term implies means liquid refrigerant injection on demand. For low temperature applications with R407F, R407A, R448A, R449A and R22, Demand Cooling
can be required on the following compressors: 4MF-13X 4ML-15X 4MM-20X 4MT-22X 4MU-25X 6MM-30X 6MT-35X 6MU-40X
NOTE: R22 is no longer allowed for new refrigeration systems in Europe.
2.6.4 Unloaded start
With direct starting the motor of a compressor is switched directly into the mains by means of a switch. The resulting breakaway starting current amounts to multiple times the rated motor current operating maximum, without consideration being given to transient phenomena.
In the case of high-powered motors the breakaway starting currents become so large that they lead to disruptive voltage dips in the mains. The compressors that are subject to current limitation must therefore by all means be equipped with starting load reduction to guarantee perfect starting even when the voltages amount to less than approximately 85% of the voltage on the nameplate.
2.6.5 Capacity control
For 4M* and 6M* compressors a mechanical capacity control is available. The system used is blocked suction. Be aware that unloaded operation changes the application range of the compressor.
NOTE: For the application range of the compressors with capacity control, refer to Technical Information D7.21.2 "Stream semi-hermetic compressor capacity control".

2.6.6 Oil pumps
The oil pumps used for Stream compressors are independent of their rotating direction. On compressors delivered with CoreSense Diagnostics (-D), the oil pump integrates the
electronic switch for integrating oil pressure safety functionality. Compressors with CoreSense Protection (-P) are designed to accommodate fittings for an
OPS2, FD-113ZU, or Sentronic oil safety system or a standard oil pressure switch (OPS2 oil sensor included in the oil pump).
2.6.7 Oil pressure
Normal oil pressure is between 1.05 and 4.2 bar higher than crankcase pressure. Net oil pressure can be read by connecting two pressure gauges to the compressor and comparing the readings. One gauge should be connected to the oil pump. The second gauge should be connected to the crankcase (T-fitting instead of plug on the compressor crankcase) or the suction service valve.
During irregular operating conditions, eg, a blockage of the suction filter, the pressure measured at the suction shut-off valve of the compressor may differ widely from that measured at the crankcase. Therefore pressure drops have to be avoided.
2.6.8 Oil circulation
Oil returns with the suction gases through a suction strainer and separates in the motor chamber reaching the crankcase by way of oil return relief valve in the partition between motor housing and crankcase. This relief valve closes on compressor start-up due to the pressure difference arising between motor side and crankcase, thus slowing down pressure decrease in the crankcase over a certain period of time. It reduces the foaming of the oil/refrigerant mixture that would occur if the pressure decreased rapidly. The valve does not reopen until the pressure has been equalized by means of a crankcase ventilating valve. This second valve connects the crankcase and suction side cylinder head. It reduces the pressure difference by means of a very small bore in the plate of the valve so slowly that oil foams less and only limited oil/refrigerant foam is transferred to the oil pump.
Four-cylinder compressors have one crankcase ventilating valve on the left cylinder bank whereas six-cylinder compressors have two ventilating valves on the left and right cylinder banks.
2.6.9 Oil level
All compressors are delivered with sufficient oil for normal operation (see Table 2). The optimum oil level should be checked by operating the compressor until the system is stable and then comparing the sight glass reading with the appropriate diagram below. The oil level should be min ¼ and max ¾ of the sight glass.
For service compressors when an oil regulator is used the oil level should be min ¼ and max ¾ of the sight glass. The level can also be checked within 10 seconds of compressor shutdown.
For 4M* and 6M* compressors a higher oil level may be accepted when an oil regulator is in use because the oil separator will reduce excessive oil circulation.
