Table 3: Qualified refrigerants and oils
WARNING Use of R450A and R513A refrigerants! Risk of compressor damage!
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 (not for Digital units); 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 your local Application Engineering representative for any further information.
NOTE: ZXDE & ZXLE units are equipped with an oil separator. This separator is pre-charged with 0.5 liter of oil.

2.8.2 ZXLE units
IMPORTANT Absence of insulation on the liquid line in ZXLE units! Air moisture condensation and lack of performance! Moisture will condensate on the
liquid line and cause water droplets. The liquid line can pick up additional heat from the ambient which will adversely affect the sub-cooling desirable for the liquid refrigerant before it enters the expansion valve. Both the suction and liquid interconnecting piping between the ZX unit and the evaporator should be insulated to avoid condensation.

2.10.4 Main control & safety features
Suction pressure control: Each unit is equipped with a suction pressure transmitter. The XCM25D controls the suction pressure by evaluating the input signal of the pressure transmitter. When using a digital unit (ZXDE), the setpoint (C16) and proportional band (C17) need to be adjusted. The suction pressure regulation for ZXME or ZXLE units has to be defined by compressor cut-in (C01) and cut­out (C02) values. The signal of the suction pressure transmitter is also used for additional functionalities, pumpdown and keeping the compressor running within the approved envelopes.
Condensing pressure control: Each unit is equipped with a high-pressure transmitter. The XCM25D controls the condensing pressure by regulating the fan speed corresponding to the high­pressure transmitter signal. The unit controller can regulate the condensing pressure in two ways. The first approach is to keep a constant condensing temperature. This mode is utilized by the factory settings. The pre-adjusted setpoint is 27°C as a universal setting. If lower condensing pressure is required set up the condenser setpoint (E39) to a lower value. The second control way is fan modulation based on compressor envelope. This mode of setpoint control is only available if a suction pressure input is not used. The parameter (E38) enables/disables the mode as needed. If this function is unused, the condensing temperature setpoint will be set as a parameter (E39) value. The compressor is allowed to run different minimum condensing temperatures based on the suction pressure of the compressor. This is the most energy efficient way to minimize the condensing temperature as much as possible.
Automatic liquid injection on ZXME: The electronic controller automatically instructs liquid refrigerant to be injected into the suction line of the Scroll compressor to reduce discharge temperatures generated when the unit operates at increasing compression ratios. The electronic controller reacts automatically to a thermistor which is attached to the discharge line on all ZXME units. The controller converts this signal for the linear stepper motor driving the liquid injection valve to a position that enables the compressor to continue operating within its safe envelope.
Automatic enhanced vapour injection (EVI) on ZXLE: Control of an electronic expansion device based on the superheat in the additional heat exchanger for the EVI Scroll compressor to create subcooling in liquid refrigerant coming from the receiver. In case of excessive discharge line temperatures (DLT) the superheat control is ignored and the controller will work in liquid injection mode in order to reduce the discharge gas temperature.
NOTE: The ZXLE units have an additional subcooling of about 30K. This must be considered when selecting the expansion device.
Compressor phase reversal: Ensures that the compressor keeps running in one direction only
(clockwise = right rotation) – necessary for a compliant Scroll compressor to compress and pump refrigerant. Reset is automatic once the phase rotation is correct for the compressor.
Motor current overload protection: This feature eliminates the need for external current protection for the compressor motor.
Fixed high-pressure switches: This is a non-adjustable protection device designed to prevent the compressor from operating outside of its safe high-pressure range. Reset is automatic for a set number of trips (7) then the unit will lock out and require manual restart. This feature is important to prevent the ZX unit from cycling under these controls for a long period of time.
ZXLE & ZXME units: 28 bar cut-out / 21 bar cut-in. ZXDE units: 28.8 bar cut-out / 24 bar cut-in.
Adjustable high-pressure limitation: The unit controller provides the possibility to stop the unit at a required discharge pressure which is lower than the cut-out value of the fixed high-pressure switch. Detailed instructions can be found in chapter 2.10.5 "Additional features for customization" hereunder.
Discharge temperature protection: Each unit is equipped with a discharge line sensor (NTC). The information from the NTC sensor is used to activate liquid injection when required. The XCM25D controller will stop the compressor if discharge temperatures reach unacceptable levels.
Adjustable low-pressure alarm (from S/N 16EZ08855M onwards): The unit controller features an adjustable low-pressure alarm managed by the suction pressure sensor. The factory setting of this alarm is the lowest permitted pressure of the refrigerant with the lowest pressure-vapour properties. If needed the user can modify this value according to the required application.
ZXME & ZXDE units: 0.5 bar rel ZXLE units: 0.1 bar rel
C6.1.6/1017-1219/E 15
In case of very low cut-out pressure on ZXLE units it is possible that the suction pressure will get lower than 0.1 bar rel due to the 5-second switching off delay. In this case the user can deactivate the low-pressure alarm with parameter D13 or activate the alarm delay with parameter D12.
Option: Adjustable low-pressure switches PS1: This device protects the system against low pressure operation. It must be adjusted depending on running conditions and potential special requirements like pumpdown. The compressor envelopes published in Select must be respected at all times. In case of controller breakdown, the low-pressure switch could be used for emergency operation (rewiring required).
A crankcase heater is directly connected to the controller. The crankcase heater will be energized when the ambient sensor is below a given value (10°C) and the compressor has been off for a period of time (5 minutes). The minimum off time does not apply at initial power up.
In addition to the above, the ZX condensing unit has the following features:
Liquid line assembly (filter drier and sight glass/moisture indicator) Anti-corrosion treatment to the condenser fins
The electronic controller is also the base controller for the connection of many optional and customer supplied functions such as:
Main load controller (or thermostat) Evaporator electric defrost heater contactor Evaporator fan contactor Superheat controller for one electronic expansion device (not available on ZXLE units)
2.10.5 Additional features for customization
A lot of additional features are provided by the XCM25D controller. In the European design of the electrical panel a few of the additional functionalities are prearranged and can easily be installed by connecting additional hardware to the electrical terminals. The tables in Appendix 6 show the parameters that have to be changed in case a special feature of the controller should be activated. The tables do not show the required settings which have to be done by the system operator, eg, choosing correct setpoints for different components and different applications.
NOTE: After programming an additional function, the system will have to be restarted. To engage system restart, switch off the main power supply, wait for 5 seconds and switch it on again.
