Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides instructions for the VZH08-VZH044 variable scroll compressors used in residential air-conditioning and reversible heat pump systems, focusing on safety and usage.

Handling and Storage
Compressors should be handled with care using dedicated equipment and stored upright between -35°C and 55°C, avoiding rain and corrosive environments.

Safety Measures Before Assembly
Compressors should not be used in flammable atmospheres, and ambient temperatures should not exceed 50°C during off-cycles. Use equipment designed for HFC refrigerants and ensure cleanliness and dehydration of components.

Assembly
Release the nitrogen holding charge slowly and connect the compressor promptly to prevent oil contamination. Use nitrogen gas flow during brazing and connect necessary safety and control devices.

Leak Detection
Do not use oxygen or dry air for pressurization. Conduct leak detection tests and repair any leaks.

Vacuum Dehydration
A vacuum pump should be used to achieve a vacuum of 500 µm Hg, not the compressor.

Electrical Connections
Ensure the main power supply is off and isolated. Follow local regulations for power line protection, ensure proper grounding, and verify correct wiring and phasing.

Filling the System
Fill refrigerant in liquid phase into the condenser outlet, avoiding low pressure operation and excessive superheat. Do not leave the filling cylinder connected.

Verification Before Commissioning
Ensure safety devices are operational, verify electrical connections, and ensure the dome sensor is correctly installed.

Start-up
Ensure refrigerant is charged before starting, verify wiring, and check for alarms on the frequency converter control panel.

Check with Running Compressor
Monitor current draw, voltage, and oil levels. Ensure proper oil return, respect operating limits, check for abnormal vibrations, and avoid overcharging.

Common Issues
Address issues like compressor failure to build pressure, abnormal noise, and pressure switch trips by checking system components and refrigerant levels.

Compressor Short Cycling
The compressor should not exceed 12 starts per hour to prevent short cycling.

Maintenance
Maintenance personnel must be skilled and equipped with appropriate tools. Regular service inspections are crucial for system reliability. Key tasks include verifying safety devices, ensuring leak-tight systems, checking compressor current draw, confirming consistent operation, securing electrical connections, maintaining cleanliness, and checking for rust and oxidation. Regular checks of acid/moisture content in the system and oil are recommended.

Warranty
Warranty claims must include model and serial numbers. Fault descriptions should be retrieved from the frequency converter's fault memory. The warranty may be void if there are missing nameplates, external modifications, unsealed compressor returns, internal rust or leaks, use of unapproved refrigerants or lubricants, deviation from instructions, use in mobile or explosive environments, or missing model/serial numbers in claims.

Disposal
Danfoss advises recycling compressors and compressor oil through a suitable company.

When Danfoss drive is selected, check carefully for compatibility between compressor model and variable speed drive. Variable speed drive rated power output 6 kW 7.5 kW 10 kW All the above limits, temperatures and speeds, are secured by parameters in the drive and application controller softwares. Installation and servicing of the compressor by qualified personnel only. Follow these instructions and sound refrigeration engineering practice relating to installation, commissioning, maintenance and service. The compressor must only be used for its designed purpose(s) and within its scope of application (refer to «operating limits»). Consult Application guidelines and datasheet available from cc.danfoss.com Never operate compressor without terminal box cover in place and secured. Under all circumstances, the EN378 (or other applicable local safety regulation) requirements must be fulfilled. Wear protective goggles and work gloves. The compressor must be handled with caution in the vertical position (maximum offset from the vertical : 15°). The compressor is delivered under nitrogen gas pressure (between 0.3 and 0.4 bar / 4 and 6 psi). Do not disassemble bolts, plugs, fittings, etc... unless all pressure has been relieved from the compressor.
