compressors produced by Embraco Europe.
Table 3 Electrical motor starting torque classification
2.4 ELECTRIC MOTOR TYPES
Table 4 describes the diIIerent types oI electric motors used in Aspera compressors.
Table 4 Electrical motor types
TYPE DESCRIPTION
LST
Low Starting Torque
LBP - MBP - HBP - AC applications with RSIR - RSCR - PSC electric motors.
Execution suitable Ior systems with a capillary tube or with balanced pressures at
start up.
HST
High Starting Torque
LBP - MBP - HBP applications with CSIR- CSR electric motors.
Execution suitable Ior systems with expansion valve or capillary, with unbalanced
pressures at start up.
TYPE DESCRIPTION
RSIR
Resistance Start - Inductive Run
This motor type, used in the compressor oI small power, has a low starting torque
(LST) and mu st be applied only to capi llary tube systems where the pressures
equalize. The motor is characterized by a start winding with high ohmic resistance
and must be disconnected when it reaches the stabilized rotational speed. An elec-
tromagnetic relay, calibrated Ior the motor current, disconnects the start winding at
the end oI the start up. An alternative to the electromagnetic relay is, Ior some
models, a PTC solid state-starting device.
CSIR
Capacitive Start - Inductive Run
Similar to R SIR mo tor, but wit h a di IIerent st art winding in seri es with a start
capacitor oI suitable capacitance to get a high starting torque.
RSCR
Resistance Start - Capacitive Run
Similar to RSIR motor version but uses a PTC solid state starting device and a per-
manent connected run capacitor to improve its eIIiciency.
PSC
Permanent Split Capacitor
PSC versi on wi th capacitive run wi nding. This motor is characterized by the run
capacitor permanently connected in series with the start winding; both remain con-
nected even aIter the motor starts. The starting torque is enough to guarantee that
the compressor starts only with balanced pressures in capillary tubes systems or
with a pressure equalizer.

2.9 WIRING DIAGRAMS
The following pages represent the electrical connections wiring diagrams for all the configura-
tions supplied with the compressors. On the wiring diagram, outlined with bold lines are the con-
nections already existing on the electrical components (as supplied to the customer). Dotted lines
represent the main connections which must be made by the customer. These include the thermo-
stat, the supply line and the fan motor, if applicable.
The connection screws on overload protectors, relays, terminal boxes and ground plates, are sup-
plied with a clamping torque of (0.1 0.3 Nm) (1 3 kgcm). For the final tightening during the
wiring done by the customer, we suggest to apply a torque of 0.8 1.4 Nm (8 14 kgcm) to the
screws. The final clamping torque of electrical connections screw terminals should conform to
the IEC 685-2-2 standard.

3.5 PAINTING
Black water based paint resists corrosion for 240 hours (test in humid atmosphere - ambient 43
C and relative humidity 100% - according to standard ASTM D 2247).
The compressors are supplied with the tube ends and the electrical connections on the unpainted
hermetic terminal.
3.6 COMPRESSOR PRESSURISATION
The compressor is pressurized to a pressure of about 0.2 bar with dry air (dew point lower than
-40 C); the tubes are sealed with rubber plugs to maintain this pressure.
The compressors for use with hydrocarbons are supplied without pressurization.
3.7 OIL CHARGE
Table 11 shows the lubricant charged in the various series of compressors. The quantity is indi-
cated in the General Catalog and Technical Bulletin. Only in an exceptional case, in accordance
with the Sales Department, can the compressors be shipped without oil.
In the interest of warranty, occasionally additives or substitution of the lubricant, can be made
by the customer under the approval of Embraco Europe.
A colored O stamped on the compressor cover indicates the presence and type of oil (for color
and oil type see Table 11).

HANDLING, TRANSPORTING AND STORING COMPRESSORS
MP01EH 2000-04 07 2010-02 40 - 98
5 HANDLING, TRANSPORTING AND
STORING COMPRESSORS
5.1 HANDLING
The handling oI the mu ltiple packages must be done only by Iork s via 'Transpallet and 'Li It
Trucks. Access is available Irom all Iour sides oI the package. It is suggested that the use oI Iorks
having a length no longer than the size oI the pallet`s shortest side (830mm Ior throwaway cartons
or 790mm Ior wooden recycling packages), to avoid damaging the next packages and the compres-
sors inside with the Iorks protruding Irom the back side oI the pallet.
5.2 TRANSPORTING
The transportation oI all types oI packaging must be made with an upright compressor (working
position), as indicated by the vertical arrow placed on the sides oI the carton.
Follow these instructions, particularly Ior the 'Single packages, which are easier to damage.
Incorrect transport can caus e deIormation oI brackets and internal muIIlers and/or oil entering
into the suction muIIlers and stator shiIts, which can result in a reduction oI stator/rotor air gap.
The consequences during operation can appear with deIormations or breaks oI reed valves and
springs, and with starting problems oI the electric motor.
5.2.1 Shipment by container
The predominant method oI transport is by container oI which there are two diIIerent types Ior
capacity and length: 20' (about 6.1 m) and 40' (about 12.2 m). The standard cont ainer used by
Embraco Europe is the 20', which allows in comparison to the 40', a higher ratio weight/volume
and consequently a better utilization oI the internal volume.
Table 16 indicates the characteristics oI the load. For each compressor series, indicated are the
number oI layers, the package number and type Ior each layer, the total number oI compressors
and the inIormation on the packaging oI equipped components. Occasionally, some Ireight Ior-
warders in the interest oI expediency, preIer to employ a 40' container, even with the disadvan-
tage oI total volume utilization.
ATTENTION: The multiple packages must not be handled with cranes by means of cables and hooks.
Embraco Europe will not be responsible for damages to the product resulting from the use of improper han-
dling.

5.2.2 Shipments by truck
The transportation of compressors by truck is the most common system for highway or short dis-
tances where the stresses on the product are reduced. This type of transportation, if made without
the necessary precautions on load steadiness and travel on uneven roads can cause stresses to
compressors with possible damages to the suspension springs and to the internal discharge muf-
flers. For an Embraco 24,000 kgs (11,000 lb) truck, the load composition is as follows in

INFORMATION ABOUT CORRECT COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
MP01EH 2000-04 07 2010-02 45 - 98
6 INFORMATION ABOUT CORRECT
COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
6.1 COMPRESSOR SELECTION
The proper selection oI the compressor should be made according to the Iollowing system char-
acteristics where it will be installed:
6.1.1. Min imum evaporating temperature
6.1.2. ReIrigeration capacity
6.1.3. ReIrig erant type
6.1.4. Am bient temperature
6.1.5. Run ning voltages and Irequencies
6.1.6. Electric motor starting torque
6.1.7. Compressor cooling type
6.1.8. Noise level (iI applicable)
6.1.9. Max current input (iI applicable)
Note For the operational limits of the compressor consult section 7.1.
6.1.1 Minimum evaporating temperature
The minimum running evaporating temperature oI the syst em, along with the condensing tem-
perature, allows the id entiIication oI the com pressor appl ication and it s reIrigeration capacity
(see '2- General InIormation par. 2.2).
6.1.2 Refrigeration capacity
The required cooling capacity at standard working conditions oI the system, in Watt or kcal/h,
according to the evaporating and condensing temperatures. The capacity depends on the mass
Ilow rate, which is a Iunction oI the compressor displacement, RPM, and volumetric eIIiciency.
6.1.3 Refrigerant type
ReIrigerant selection can be made Irom the available list taking into consideration the market re-
quirements oI the product and ecological Iactors.
6.1.4 Ambient temperature
The compressor must be selected in order to ensure it is suitable to operate at the maximum re-
quired ambient temperature (e.g. temperate climate 32 C or tropical climate 43 C).
Compressors are intended Ior indoor use, and a minimum oI 5 C is required Ior working, in or-
der to have a correct lubricatio n. II ambient temperature is ar ound above value and reIrigerant
charge is approachin g or overcoming t he maximum al lowed limit, can b e useIul the use oI a
crankcase heater.
COMPRESSORS
HANDBOOK
Chapter
MP01EH 2000-04 07 2010-02 46 - 98
6.1.5 Operating Voltages and Frequencies
The compressor must be selected according to the voltage and Irequency conditions where the
cabinet will operate in the Iield, considering the voltage Iield typical oI each motor type and their
prescribed tolerances. (See '2-General InIormation par. 2.5).
6.1.6 Electric motor starting torque
The selection oI the electric motor starting torque type (low starting torque LST - high starting
torque HST) must be made according to the suction and discharge pressures oI the system during
the compressor start. For systems with capillary tubes or expansion valves with pressure equali-
zation, a low starting torque (LST) is suitable. This compressor does not use a start capacitor, and
is able to start only with balanced suction and discharge pressures. For systems with expansion
valve where the suction and discharge pressures remain unbalanced, it is necessary to use a high
starting torque compressor (HST). See what prescribed under par. '7.1.6 - Start conditions.
6.1.7 Compressor cooling type
Smaller compressors, with relatively low power motors, can be used in a static cooled arrange-
ment. Compressors with higher power motors require Iorced ventilation. Some compressors in
the E and T series are also available with an oil cooler. This oil cooler is a coil positioned in the
lower part oI the hou sing immersed in the oil sump. (See '2.7 - COMPRESSOR COOLING
TYPES).
6.1.8 Noise level
In some applications the noise level oI the system is a consideration. Certain compressors have
been developed speciIically Ior low noise applications. In order to select the best compressor Ior
a given application, noise tests oI the complete system should be perIormed as the total noise lev-
el is related to the integration oI all components and the circulation oI the reIrigerant.
6.1.9 Maximum current input
II there are restrictions on the current absorbed by the compressor and/or on the short circuit cur-
rent LRA, you may choose a compressor which meets the requested requirements.
6.2 COMPRESSOR UNPACKING
Remove the compressor Irom th e package keepi ng it in an upright position to avoid damage.
Failure to maintain the compressor in an upright position can result in the introduction oI oil into
the suction and process connection, possibly causing welding problems. Another more serious
consequence can be the breaking oI reed valves during compressor start due to oil and the suction
muIIler. For the same reason, the compressor must remain upright while assembling the grom-
mets and sleeves to the base plate.

6.3 PREPARATION OF REFRIGERATING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The cleaning (solid substances and non-condensable) and the reduced moisture in all the compo-
nents oI the reIrigeration system, are the primary concerns Ior the compressor good running and
liIe.
With the in troduction oI R134 a and R404A reIrigerants, using new po lyolester oils, Embraco
Europe adopted strict limits in comparison with CFC - HCFC reIrigerants. By introducing some
modiIications to the production line, a drast ic reduction oI the moisture content and solid non-
condensable residue in the compressors was achieved. Furthermore, in all production processes
oI Embraco Europe and oI external suppliers, all non-compatible products that may contaminate
the new reIrigerants and the new polyolester oils have been eliminated. These include all chlorine
based compounds, as well as non ester based oils. For the same reason, Embraco Europe suggests
the use oI system components such as tubes , condensers, evaporators, oil separators, liquid re-
ceivers, valves, capillaries, etc., to have a moisture and solid and non-condensable residuals con-
tents reduced by 50 in comparison to what is prescribed by DIN 8964 Standard - and Iree oI
the contaminants mentioned in the previous paragraph.
We suggest that the components remain sealed as long as possible before their assembly,
performing the welding no later than 15 minutes from assembling the components.
To avoid oil residuals during the welding process, it can be useIul to blow out these components
with nitrogen or dry air, with a dew point lower than -40 C, beIore using them. These instruc-
tions can be taken as a reIerence also Ior systems using CFC - HCFC reIri gerants (R12-R22-
R502- etc.) and isobutane (R600a), even iI these reIrigerants do not require such strict require-
ments as R134a and R404A.
We suggest removing the rubber plugs Irom the tubes oI the upright compressor in the Iollowing
sequence: discharge tube, suction tube and service tube.
A diIIerent sequence can cause oil being carried out oI the compressor by the internal pressuri-
zation. This can cau se subsequent welding diIIiculties on the tub es and internal contamination
due to oil residues.
The internal oiling oI the tubes can make the welding diIIicult, and moreover it can introduce
contaminants into the system due to 'oil cracking.
Embraco Europe Srl is not responsible for any damage to the compressor caused by the use
of inappropriate components and production processes and products not compatible with
the new refrigerants and lubrication oils.
On page 62, Tabl e 32 indicates the po ssible probl ems in t he system coming Irom a residual
moisture content higher than the above indicated limits. As residual moisture, moisture remain-
ing in the running system may not be absorbed by the molecular sieve oI the Iilter.

6.4 REFRIGERANT USE GUIDE
Access to inIormation about, and application oI, the new reIrigerants allows the manuIacture re-
liable equipment that is correctly dimensioned and operates under saIe conditions.
In this section, presented are some guidelines Ior the use oI the Iollowing reIrigerants: R134a -
R600a - R404A - R407C - R290.
Because of the vast differences between systems and different working fields typical of each
application, the reliability of the equipment should be defined by appropriate life and field
tests.
All operations related to the use of refrigerants should be performed in accordance with
local laws and rules related to this subject.

6.4.1 Guide for the use of R134a
6.4.1.1 General information
The R134a reIrigerant (1.1.2.2 - tetraIluorethylene) is used to replace the R12 in applications
with low, medium and high evaporator temperatures.
Table 21 R134a Physical Characteristics
Table 22 R134a Ecological Characteristics
6.4.1.2 System components compatibility
All reIrigeration system components should be compatible with the reIrigerant and lubricant
used in the compressor. Substances containing chlorine, mineral oils, paraffin and silicone are
not approved.
All equipment used in the reIrigerator manuIacturing process that require lubrication and may
come into contact with the reIrigeration system components, must use exclusively polyolester oil
as a lubricant (suggested viscosity 18 - 20 cSt 40 C). Due to the strict requirements associated
with the use oI the R134a, particular attention must be given to the internal cleanliness oI the sys-
tem. The above mentioned substances as well as any solid residues (dust, metal particles, etc...)
must not be introduced into the system. It is recommended that the maximum level oI the con-
tamination should be 50 less than what is prescribed in norm DIN 8964
(1)
.
6.4.1.3 Expansion device
Capillary tubes: For a new application, the Iirst component to be dimensioned should be the
capillary tube. To prepare the prototype, use chapter 6.6 - Capillary Tubes Selection as a reIer-
ence.
As a general rule, to convert a system Irom R-12 to R134a, the same capillary tube may be used.
It is not recommended to use a capillary tube with an internal diameter less than 0.6 mm.
For each system, the optimal dimensioning oI the capillary tube should be perIormed in an ap-
propriate test laboratory in order to obtain the best working conditions, and to avoid the return oI
liquid reIrigerant to the compressor.
Expansion Valve: Should be selected according to the working temperatures and pressure char-
acteristics oI reIrigerant R134a.
6.4.1.4 Evaporator and condenser
Generally to convert a system Irom R-12 to R134a, the same evaporator and condenser tube may
be used.
Molecular Weight 102 (ReI.: R 12 120.9)
Critical Temperature 101.1 C (ReI.: R 12 111.8 C)
Critical Pressure 40.6 bar (ReI.: R 12 41.1 bar)
Boiling Point -26.5 C (ReI.: R 12 -29.8 C)
ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) 0 (ReI.: R 12 1)
GWP (Global Warming Potential) 1300 (100 years) (ReI.: R 12 8501)

6.4.1.5 Filter dryer
It is recommended to use a Iilter dryer, such as XH7, that is compatible with the reIri gerant
R134a and the compressor oil. (ReIer to chapter 6.5 - Selection oI the Filter Dryer).
The Iilter should have a molecular sieve oI no less than 3 Angstrom.
It is suggested to increase the mass oI the molecular dryer 15 to 20, compared to the one used
with reIrigerant R 12.
Always consult the manuIacturer Ior the proper selection oI a Iilter dryer.
6.4.1.6 Evacuation and charging equipment
Generally the vacuum level Ior a R134a system is the same used Ior a system with R 12.
Good reIrigeration practice suggests system evacuation Irom both low side and high side, achiev-
ing a minimum level oI 0.14 mbar (100 Hg) with a non-condensable value oI less than 0.3 by
volume.
Use charging equipment suitable Ior use oI the reIrigerant R134a, and iI possible, dedicate this
machine Ior use only with reIrigerant R134a.
6.4.1.7 Refrigerant charge
Generally the quantity oI the reIrigerant R134a introduced into the system can be reduced Irom
5 to 20, compared to the required charge oI R 12.
For each system, the optimal reIrigerant charge should be determined in an appropriate test lab-
oratory in order to obtain the best working conditions, and to avoid the return oI liquid reIrigerant
to the compressor.
ReIrigerant R134a should not have any contamination; even a small amount oI a Chlorine based
reIrigerant can cause problems.
6.4.1.8 Moisture
In order to avoid problems that can shorten liIe oI the reIrigeration system, use components that
are supplied internally dried and properly sealed, to prevent the entrance oI moisture. These com-
ponents should remain sealed until they are used.
It is recommended to avoid leaving the compressor and components exposed to the ambient Ior
more than 15min.

6.4.1.9 Leak control
It is recommended that special attention be given to the correct welding oI the system compo-
nents to avoid the possibility oI leaks. This is due to the smaller molecular dimensions oI reIrig-
erant R134a.
To guarantee the maximum eIIiciency in controlling leaks, it is recommended to use a leak de-
tector designed Ior use with reIrigerant R134a, or as an alternative, a detector designed Ior use
with Helium.
6.4.1.10 Equalization time for suction and discharge pressures
The use oI the reIrigerant R134a requires signiIicantly more time Ior the suction and discharge
pressures to equalize compared to R 12. Because oI this, the compressor should be selected ac-
cordingly to allow Ior this longer equalization time.
6.4.1.11 High pressure limit control
To protect the system, it may be necessary to install a high pressure limit switch to control the
maximum discharge pressure. The settings on this limit switch should be in accordance with the
limits established in Chapter 7.1.3 - Discharge gas maximum pressures.

6.4.2 Guide for the use of R600a
The reIrigerant R600a (isobutane) is used to subst itute R 12 as an alternative to R 134a, primarily
in domestic reIrigerators and Ireezers.
BeIore supplying compressors Ior use with R600a, it is Iirst necessary to perIorm an evaluation
oI the risks involved with the use oI this reIrigerant. The customer should perIorm a risk assess-
ment to ensure proper knowledge about the handling and use oI the R600a in the reIrigerant sys-
tem ( Ior Iurther inIor mation please contact the Technical A ssistant Department at Embraco
Europe).
When converting a system Irom R12 to R600a, the displacement oI the compressor is increased
by approximately 90 while the charge oI the reIrigerant is reduced by 50.

PLEASE NOTE: R600a is flammable and should then be handled by qualified personnel in accordance
with the rules and regulations now established for safe use.

Generally to convert a system Irom R-12 to R600a, the same evaporator and condenser may be
used.
The internal circuit oI the evaporator should be veriIied because there may be regions that may
tend to trap oil and can temporarily prevent reIrigerant Ilow.
ReIrigerant R600a requires the use oI a normal Iilter drier type 4A-XH5 or better (see chapter
6.5 - Filter Dryer).
Always consult the manuIacturer Ior the proper selection oI the Iilter drier.
Generally the vacuum level Ior a R600a system is the same used Ior a system with R 12.
Good reIrigeration practice suggests system evacuation Irom both low side an d high side and
achieving a minimum level oI 0.14 mbar (100 Hg) with a non condensable value oI less than
0.3 by volume.
Use charging equipment suitable Ior use oI the reIrigerant R600a.
Generally the quantity oI the reIrigerant R600a introduced into the system can be reduced Irom
50-60 compared to the required charge oI R 12.
This characteristic greatly reduces the legal risk oI Ilammability oI the reIrigerant in case oI a

6.4.5 Guide for the use of R290
The refrigerant R290 (propane) is used to substitute R22, as well as R404A, for low and medium
back pressure applications, and air conditioning.
Before supplying compressors for use with R290, it is first necessary to perform an evaluation
of the risks involved with the use of this refrigerant. The customer should perform a risk assess-
ment to ensure proper knowledge about the handling and use of the R290 in the refrigerant sys-
tem (for further information please contact the Technical Assistant Department at Embraco
Europe).
Refrigerant R290 can normally be used in the same compressor designed for use with R22, but
with a different (hermetic type) thermal overload protector.

For a new application the first component to be dimensioned should be the capillary tube. To pre-
pare the prototype, use chapter 6.6 - CAPILLARY TUBES as a reference.
Generally, when changing a system from R22 to R290, the same capillary tube can be used al-
though the length should be decreased by approximately 5%.
For each system the optimal dimensioning of the capillary tube should be performed in an appro-
priate test laboratory, in order to obtain the best working conditions.

Refrigerant R290 requires the use of a normal filter drier type XH-9 (See Chapter
Dryer)
6.5 - Filter
Always consult the manufacturer for the proper selection of the filter drier.
Generally the vacuum level for an R290 system is the same used for a system with R22.
Good refrigeration practice suggests system evacuation from both low side and high side, achiev-
ing a minimum level of 0.14 mbar (100 Hg) with a non-condensable value of less than 0.3% by
volume.
Use charging equipment suitable for use of the refrigerant R290, and if possible, dedicate this
equipment for use only with this refrigerant.
Generally the quantity of the refrigerant R600a introduced into the system can be reduced from
50% 60% compared to the required charge of R22.
This characteristic greatly reduces the legal risk of flammability of the refrigerant in case of a
system leak.
For each system the optimal refrigerant charge should be determined in an appropriate test lab-
oratory in order to obtain the best working conditions.
6.4.5.8 Moisture
In order to avoid problems that can shorten life of the refrigeration system, use components that
are supplied internally dried and properly sealed to prevent the entrance of moisture. These com-
ponents should remain sealed until they are used.
The moisture content in a system should conform to norm DIN 8964
(1)
.
The level of moisture present in the refrigeration circuit should be below 40ppm and after the
system has been operating, the filter dryer should remove moisture from the system from a level
below 20ppm.
It is recommended that special attention be given to the correct welding, or other forms of union
of the system components, to avoid the possibility of leaks.
To guarantee the maximum efficiency in controlling leaks, it is recommended to use a leak de-
tector designed for use with refrigerant R290, or as an alternative, a detector designed for use

6.5 FILTER DRYER
The filter drier must be chosen with the molecular sieve suitable to the refrigerant type used in
the system as indicated in the Table 31.
Table 31 Suggested Filter Dryer
For the applications with R134a - R404A, we suggest to increase the weight of the molecular
sieve by 10% 15% compared to the corresponding applications with R12 - R502. The filter dri-
er must be properly protected from absorption of ambient humidity during assembly of the sys-
tem according to the following practices:
Remove the protection caps from the filter shortly before welding.
The filters supplied without protection caps, in blister or in hermetic boxes must be duly
protected to avoid moisture absorption before welding.
A reduced absorption capacity can cause an incomplete water absorption by the molecular
sieve, therefore, the moisture could circulate freely in the system with the following effects
indicated in Table 32.

6.7 APPLICATION OF RUBBER GROMMETS
Alternating Iorces oI Iirst order, such as rotating masses and masses having rectilinear and alter-
nating motion, are duly balanced inside the compressor. Inertial alternating Iorces oI greater or-
der are not balanced, however, they are partially absorbed by the internal suspension springs and
partially by the rubber grommets, when correctly applied to the external mounting base. The rub-
ber grommets and the sleeves, have been selected in order to guarantee the Iollowing character-
istics:
Reduction oI vibrations transmission oI more than 50.
Absorption oI inertial, tangential Iorces and relative moments, particularly noticeable at com-
pressor, start and stop.
The components oI this external suspension system are supplied partly by Embraco Europe (rub-
ber grommets and sleeves) while the remaining components Ior their blocking screws, washers
and nuts (or suitable alternate systems), must be Iurnished by the customer. It is very important
that these components be assemb led correctly in order to guarantee, as in dicated in Figure 30,
the proper clearance between the rubber grommet and Ilat washer, Iixed between nut and sleeve.
This clearance allows the improved damping oI the vibrations transmitted by the compress or,
isolating it Irom base plate. For each compressor series, a rubber grommet has been deIined to
be coupled to the relative sleeve as indicated in Table 34.
Legend 6 Rubber Grommets Assembling Process
Figure 30 Rubber Grommets Assembling Process
PLEASE NOTE: The use of grommets and sleeves different from the ones designated may decrease
the absorption of vibration resulting in a subsequent noise increase.

6.8 WELDING OF CONNECTION TUBES
During brazing oI the connectors on the compressor's copper tubes, the Iollowing instructions
must be observed:
DO NOT ALLOW the Ilame Irom the torch to reach the housing during the welding oI the
compressor tube in order to avoid overheating, damages to welding, and oil carbonization on
the compressor's internal walls.
DO NOT ALLOW the Ilame Irom the torch to approach the 'hermetic terminal in order to
avoid the cracking oI the glass insulating material oI the three pins and subsequent gas leaks.
The welding oI the connections on copper tubes can be done with welding material with low sil-
ver contents, or, exclusively Ior 'copper/copper connections. It can be advantageous to use the
'phosphorous copper.
Proper welding is characterized by a good penetration oI weld material, to guarantee a good me-
chanical resistance, and a lack oI leaks Irom the connection.
These characteristics are obtained with the use oI suitable materials and a perIectly perIormed
welding, as well as with a correct sizing oI the tubes to be coupled in order to guarantee the op-
timum clearance. 'Tight clearance determines a bad penetration oI weld material, while 'large
clearance causes penetration oI weld material and de-oxidizers inside the tube and compressor.
To limit the internal contamination by the de-oxidizing Ilux, we suggest applying small quanti-
ties oI de-oxidizer on the connection tube aIter connecting it to the compressor tube.
During the welding operation, avoid overheating oI the connection. This reduces the Iormation
oI oxide contaminants inside oI the tubes. It is suggested, during the welding operation, to blow
nitrogen through the tubes, particularly Ior R404A applications.
With the use oI R13 4a, the possibility oI reIr igerant gas leak s through deIective welds i s in-
creased due to the smaller size oI the molecule oI R134a.
We also suggest taking particular care in perIorming the welding and leak detection, which must
be carried out with equipment sensitive to the reIrigerant type used.
6.9 ROTALOCK VALVES
For J series compressors, a special version can be supplied only upon the Customer's request.
This conIiguration has, in place oI the suction tube, a threaded union welded on the cover oI the
housing, suitable Ior Iixing a Rotalock suction valve.
A cap screwed on the union guarantees its protection and the internal pressurization oI the com-
pressor. This special version can be supplied in two ways:
Compressor with union Ior valve but with no Rotalock valve supplied.
Compressor with union Ior valve, unassembled Rotalock valve, and equipped with the appro-
priate sealing gasket.
The threading oI the uni on oI 1" - 14 NS-2 accepts Rotalock valves wit h diIIerent dimensions
according to the compressor type, as indicated on the Compressor Catalog. The assembly oI the
valve on the compressor union must be done by inserting the gasket on its seat on the union, aIter
dampening both with a light oil Iilm (oI the same type charged into the compressor). The valve
nut should be tightened to the torque indicated on the Iollowing table. The valve can be oriented,
as necessary, within 360. II necessary it can be easily replaced using a new gasket seal.

In the Iollowing table, indicated are the suggested tightening torques:
Table 35 Suggested tightening torques
For the valves with sweat connections, in order to avoid overheating during welding, which can
damage the gasket, we suggest to eIIect the welding beIore applying the gasket, and to connect
the valve to the compressor.

(1) The opening and closing of the valve stem can be effected with electric or pneumatic drivers having a speed lower than 360 rpm.
Higher speed damages the stem and valve body tightness seats.
It is a good rule to try to keep the welding time to a minimum in order to not overheat the stem tight-
ness, even if produced with material resistant to high temperatures.

6.10 COMPRESSOR COOLING
Throughout the Embraco Europe compressor range, there are compressors with diIIerent cooling
requirements:
The static cooling (without Ian cooler) compressor requires that the compressor is positioned
in the appl ication in order to be co oled directly by an air current at ambient temperature,
through suIIicient openings placed in the application body.
The fan cooling compressor requires the use oI a Ian cooler (normally inlet type) positioned
in such a way that the Ilow is introduced to the compressor sideways (on the longer side op-
posite to that where it is placed the thermal protector).
The thermal protector, iI cooled by the air Ilow, may not trip, and may not protect the compressor
properly.
We suggest to maintain a distance oI 0.2 0.3 m Irom compressor Ian blades.
The Ian cooler can be chosen according to the air Ilow indicated in Table 36:

6.11 VACUUM OPERATIONS
It is fundamental to perform a proper evacuation of the refrigeration system to ensure proper run-
ning of the refrigerating machine, and to preserve the life of the compressor. A proper evacua-
tion process assures that the air and moisture contents are below the allowed limits.
The introduction of new refrigerants require the use of new polyester oils with characteristics of
high hygroscopicity which require the greatest care in system evacuation. There are various
methods to evacuate a refrigeration system: one-side (low pressure side), two-side (low and high
pressure sides), at different times, with phases of refrigerant pre-charge, etc. We must aim to
reach a vacuum value (measured at its stabilization on both the low and high pressure sides), bet-
ter than 0.14 mbar (100 Hg), and the maximum level of non-condensable must not exceed
0.3%.
6.12 REFRIGERANT CHARGE
After the vacuum operation, the system must be charged with the refrigerant type indicated on
the compressor nameplate or one of the alternate allowed types, in the pre-determined quantity.
For a correct charge we suggest, after carrying out the vacuum, to pump part of the refrigerant
into the compressor to break the vacuum; then start the compressor to draw the remaining part
of the charge.
In the small refrigerating systems utilizing few grams of charge, the refrigerant is usually
pumped into the compressor through the service tube. In this case you must wait 5 to 10 minutes
(time depending on the refrigerant quantity and on the ambient temperature), before starting the
compressor. This to allow partial refrigerant evaporation and to avoid the suction of liquid refrig-
erant into the compressor cylinder.
Table 37 Maximum Refrigerant Charge
In case the refrigerant charge should exceed the max values allowed for the compressor, take care
that the circuit is equipped with liquid receiver, and, for larger systems, an oil heater in the com-
pressor housing to avoid mixing of refrigerant in the oil, foaming with subsequent liquid suction
and pumping. If it becomes necessary for a technician to recharge the system in the field, he
should first remove all of the remaining original charge, and then recharge the system in accord-
ance with the refrigerant quantity indicated on the data plate.
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid irreparable damages to the compressor, never start it under vacuum (without
refrigerant charge).
PLEASE NOTE: The refrigerant mixtures must be charged in the system exclusively at liquid state.

6.13 REFRIGERANT LEAKS CONTROL
A reIrigeration system can work normally Ior the entire liIe oI the compressor, only iI attention
is given to the proper installation. One oI the most important aspects is the absence oI reIrigerant
leaks.
We estimate that a 10 leak oI the reIrigerant charge over 15 years oI running the compressor;
will still allow Ior proper running oI the reIrigerating system.
With the new reIrigerants (R134a and mixtures), the possibility oI reIrigerant leaks through im-
proper welding increase due to th e reduced molecular size oI the reIrigerants. This adds to the
increase in the percentage oI leaks, due to the reduced charge compared to traditional reIriger-
ants. For above reasons, it is essential that accurate controls oI leaks are perIormed on the welds
with methods and equipment suitable to the applied reIrigerant type.
For the leak test of R134a, use equipment designed exclusively for that refrigerant.
6.14 ELECTRIC SUPPLY
The compressor assembled in the reIrig eration system must be connected to a vol tage supply
within the limits indicated in Table 5 - Voltages & Frequencies on page 15. Due to voltage drops
on the supply circuit, the voltage must be that measured at the compressor hermetic terminal. On
the same table, indicated are the minimum starting voltages at which the compressor can start
without load. In paragraph 7.1 - COMPRESSOR RUNNING LIMITS - 7.1.6 - Start conditions
- are indicated, Ior compressor start, the limit values oI suction pressure, discharge pressure and
supply voltage.
The correct sizing oI the cables is important to guarantee low voltage drops on running and dur-
ing the phases oI compressor start, and it must be determined according to the locked rotor cur-
rent indicated on the 'Electric Components List. A subsequent protection Iuse can also be sized:
225 oI the compressor running current plus 100 oI current input oI all other electric mo-
tors employed.
For three-phase models, use remote control, so sized switches that each contactor can with-
stand the current input value oI compressor.
PLEASE NOTE: R404A-R402A-R402B refrigerants must not be mixed to the air during leak detection,
neither be used nor let in presence of high air concentrations above atmospheric pressure at high tempera-
tures.
PLEASE NOTE: The electrical wiring must be performed according to the laws and regulations in the
country in which the refrigeration system will operate.

7 RUNNING DATA AND COMPRESSOR
CHECKING PROCEDURES
7.1 COMPRESSOR RUNNING LIMITS
The sizing oI the system components must be perIormed in a way that the limits oI the charac-
teristics indicated below are not exceeded. During operation in the Iield, the system can encoun-
ter some Iactors wo rsening t he wo rking conditions, such as g as leaks, red uction o I t he
eIIectiveness on the condenser due to clogging, etc. Because oI these Iactors, it is recommend to
size the system with a good margin oI saIety, to allow the system to operate within the prescribed
limits.
7.1.1 Maximum temperature of electric motor stator windings
130 C max, under normal running conditions.
The temperature measurement can be done while the compressor is running through compatible
equipment (Ior inst. SILYTESTER oI BIDDLE USA), or through the met hod oI ohmic resist-
ance measurement, by disconnecting the compressor supply.
This method requires the availability oI instruments Ior measuring the ohmic resistance (digital
Ohmmeter, Wheatstone's bridge) and the temperature.
a) Measure the ohmic resistance RI oI the main winding (run) between the pins oI the hermetic
terminal C 'common (above) and R 'run (below on the right) and oI the corresponding sta-
bilized reIerence temperature TI.
b) Measure the ohmic resistance Rc oI the main winding (run) with hot motor between the pins
C and R at the Tc temperature to calculate.
c) Calculate the Tc temperature with the Iollowing Iormula:
Where:

7.1.5 Compressor operating fields
Within the minimum and maximum values typical for each model.
In the diagrams represented on the following pages, indicated are the limits of evaporating, con-
densing, ambient and return gas temperatures.
The compressor can operate within the limits of evaporating and condensing temperatures de-
fined by the outlined area bordered by a continuous line, at the indicated conditions of ambient
and return gas temperature.
Outside these operating fields, the system operates at high pressures and high temperatures, and
cause early defects in the compressor.
The compressor defects caused by applications operating outside the prescribed fields will not
be considered under warranty.
7.1.5.1 R22 Compressors operating field
The production of R22 compressors was required for the replacement of R12 - R502 refrigerants
and the choice has been obliged by the non availability at that moment of other suitable alterna-
tive gases.
For low and medium temperature R22 cabinets, compressors must be selected according to the
limits associated with this type of gas, that was developed for high evaporating temperatures,
thus characterized by restrictive limits.

7.4 ELECTRIC CIRCUITS CONTROL
The electric tests reported in this chapter allow to determine the causes oI possible anomalies or
deIects oI electric components, electric motor and wiring Ior each type oI electric motor. In case
the problems appear during the Ii nal testing oI the reIrigerating application, beIore starting the
check procedures, it is better to be sure that the connections are correct according to the electric
wiring diagrams represented in Chapter 2.9. To carry out the check, it is necessary to use suitable
instruments Ior checking the cont inuity and Ior measuring the ohmic resistance, respecting the
indicated sequence and reIerring to the electric diagrams (see chapter 2.9). Consider that the con-
tinuous lines represent the leads belonging to the electric component, or to the supplied wiring,
while the dashed lines represent the suggested connection leads pertaining to the customer.
7.4.1 Standard version RSIR - RSCR EM Series with PTC starting device
(Refer to the RSIR and RSCR electric diagrams represented in Figure 9, page 24)
VeriIy, with a voltmeter, the presence oI the correct voltage on the 'L2 and 'N terminals oI
the terminal board. II there is insuIIicient voltage, the thermostat is deIective due to open con-
tacts, connections or an interruption in the cables.
Disconnect the other electrical components iI present (motor Ian, gear motor, etc.), disconnect
the voltage to the circuit at the supply line, and carry out the Iollowing operations and checks:
1. Check the continuity on the terminals L1 - L2 oI the terminal board. II there is no continuity,
the thermostat must be replaced due to open contacts.
2. Take oII the PTC starting device Irom the hermetic terminal.
3. II there is a capacitor (RSCR version), disconnect it.
4. Take oII the protector Irom the PTC starting device and check between points 1 and 3. II there
is no continuity, be sure that the prot ector has no op en contacts due to its trip. In t his case
repeat the check aIter about 10 minutes. Otherwise, the protector is deIective due to open con-
tacts.
5. Check the electric motor according to the procedure described at par. 7.5.1.
6. Check the ohmic resistance oI the stator run and start windin gs according to the procedure
described in par.7.5.2.
7. On the PTC starting device, check between the two Iastons '1 and '3 the ohmic resistance
oI the PTC pill which must be 816 / Ior the 230V model and 24 / Ior the 115V model,
at the ambient temperature oI 25 C. (CAUTION: the ohmic resistance values measured with
a normal tester can be out oI the indicated values by as much as 25 30).
8. II there is a run capacitor (RSCR version), check it according to the procedure described in
section 7.5.3.
II Irom all the above checks no problem was Iound, there is no capillary clogging and the system
does not yet run correctly, replace the compressor.
PLEASE NOTE: Wiring carried out differently from the ones indicated on the Compressor Handbook
may require a different check procedure and measurement from the one indicated.
