8.3 SUPPLY VOLTAGES AND FREQUENCIES The compressor must be selected according to the voltage and frequency conditions where the installation will operate in the field. 8.1 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE The ambient temperature surrounding the system strongly influences the compressor working conditions. The system must be designed and tested in order to ensure that the compressor works (at normal and abnormal expected conditions in the field) within its admitted limits (see Chapter 8.4 - Operating envelopes) at the max ambient temperature where the system will be installed. A functional and efficient refrigeration...

Figure 8.4 OPERATING ENVELOPES Even if the compressor can work in low ambient conditions, the system may require specific design or recommendations to ensure compressor working conditions to remain inside the application envelop. In the low ambient temperature, normally, the cooling load will be lower. To avoid the liquid flood back . during the operation, the expansion device should be designed to maintain the minimum and stable superheat. Short cycle of start/stop should be avoided, see Chapter 8.10 - Compressor On/off cycling. The system should be verified by testing. To prevent the flood...

Table 8.6 MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED REFRIGERANT CHARGE FOR ALL APPROVED REFRIGERANTS The compressor is safe to start without crankcase heater when the refrigerant charge quantity is less than recommended charge limit (see Table in Chapter 8.6). but nevertheless Embraco recommends usage of the crankcase heater. 8.9 PUMP DOWN RECOMMENDATIONS Refrigeration scroll compressors use a low-leak discharge valve to prevent high pressure backflow into the low side. Typically, this check valve prevents system pressures from equalizing and pump down can be achieved. If short cycling cannot be avoided, using a 3-minute...
