Introduction
The 70 frame ZP*K3 and ZP*KC Copeland Scroll
™ compressors are designed for a wide variety of light commercial cooling and heat pump applications. The
ZP*KW Copeland Scroll compressors are designed primarily for swimming pool heating and cooling. This bulletin describes the operating characteristics, design features, and application requirements for these models.
For additional information, please refer to the online product information accessible from the Emerson website at Emerson.com/OPI .
Operating principles of the Copeland Scroll compressor are described in
Figure 8 of this bulletin.
The ZP*K3 and ZP*KC scrolls range in size from
50,000 to 57,000 Btu/hr (14.7 to 16.7 kW) and 61,000 to 147,000 Btu/hr (17.9 to 43.1 kW) respectively.
These models include all of the standard 50 and 60
Hertz, three phase voltages and some single phase voltages. The ZP*KW scrolls are single-phase only scrolls in 70,000 and 83,000 Btu/hr (20.5 and 24.3 kW) displacements.
All of the compressors covered in this bulletin are in the 70 frame family (7" diameter shell) and include a number of features outlined in the matrix below. recommended in this bulletin for good practice or best in class, other guidelines must be followed to ensure a safe and reliable application. The Application
Engineering department always welcomes suggestions that will help improve these types of documents.
Internal Pressure Relief (IPR) Valve
The ZP91KC through ZP143KC compressors do not have IPR valves.
All other compressors in this family have an internal pressure relief valve which is located between the high and low side of the compressor. It is designed to open when the discharge-to-suction pressure differential exceeds 550 to 625 psid (38-43 bar). When the valve opens, hot discharge gas is routed back into the area of the motor overload to cause a trip. During fan failure testing, system behavior and operating pressures will depend on the type of refrigerant metering device.
Fixed orifice devices may flood the compressor with refrigerant, and thermostatic expansion devices will attempt to control superheat and result in higher compressor top cap temperatures. Fan failure testing or loss of air flow in both cooling and heating should be evaluated by the system designer to assure that the compressor and system are protected from abnormally high pressures.
Discharge Temperature Protection
Nomenclature
The model numbers of the Copeland Scroll compressors include the approximate nominal 60 Hz capacity at standard operating conditions. An example would be the ZP67KCE-TFD, which has 67,000 But/hr
(19.6kW) cooling capacity at the AHRI high temperature air conditioning rating point when operated at 60 Hz.
Note that the same compressor will have approximately
5/6 of this capacity or 55,000 Btu/hr (16.1kW) when operated at 50 Hz. Please refer to the on-line product information at Emerson.com/OPI for details.

Compressor top cap temperatures can be very hot.
Care must be taken to ensure that wiring or other materials which could be damaged by these temperatures do not come into contact with these
potentially hot areas.
Protection against abnormally high discharge temperature is accomplished through one of the two folowing methods:
The Therm-O-Disc

or TOD is a temperature-sensitive snap disc device located between the high and low pressure side of the scroll. It is designed to open and route excessively hot discharge gas back to the

AE4-1365 R5 internal motor overload when the internal discharge gas exceeds 290°F (144°C). When the internal motor overload is subjected to hot discharge gas the overload will reach its opening temperature and take the compressor off-line. ZP91 and smaller compressors in this family use this method of temperature protection.
The second type of discharge temperature protection is referred to as Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection
(ASTP). During a high discharge temperature event, a temperature-sensitive snap disk located in the intermediate cavity of the scroll will open and vent the intermediate cavity. This will result in the scrolls separating and not pumping. The motor will continue to run until the internal overload opens from a lack of refrigerant flow/cooling. The temperature-sensitive disk has a shorter reset time than the internal motor overload, so when the internal overload resets and brings the compressor back on line the compressor will run and pump. Compressors that have ASTP are identified with the ASTP label shown in Figure 3 .
Heat Pump Protection
A low pressure control is highly recommended for loss of charge protection and other system fault conditions that may result in very low evaporating temperatures.
Even though these compressors have internal discharge temperature protection, loss of system charge will result in overheating and recycling of the motor overload protector. Prolonged operation in this manner could result in oil pump out and eventual bearing failure. A cut out setting no lower than 20 psig
(1.4 bar) is recommended.
Discharge Line Thermostat
Some systems, such as air-to-air heat pumps, may not work with the above low pressure control arrangement.
A discharge line thermostat set to shut the compressor off before the discharge temperature exceeds 260°F
(125°C) may have to be used to achieve the same protection. Mount the discharge thermostat as close as possible to the compressor discharge fitting and insulate well. See Table 4 for recommended Emerson Climate
Technologies part numbers.
Air Conditioning Unit Protection
Air-conditioning-only units can be protected against high discharge temperatures through a low pressure control in the suction line. Testing has shown that a cut out setting of not lower than 55 psig (3.8 bar) will adequately protect the compressor against overheating from loss of charge, blower failure in a TXV system, etc. A higher level of protection is achieved if the low pressure control is set to cut out around 95 psig (6.7 bar) to prevent evaporator coil icing. The cut in setting can be as high as 180 psig (12.5 bar) to prevent rapid

recycling in case of refrigerant loss. If an electronic controller is used, the system can be locked out after repeated low pressure trips.
High Pressure Control
The ZP91KC through ZP143KC compressors do not have an internal pressure relief valve. A high pressure control with a maximum cut out setting of
650 psig (45 bar) is required for all ZP91KC through
ZP143KC applications.
All other compressors in this family have an internal pressure relief valve and the necessity of a high pressure control switch is dependent on the working pressure of the system components. The high pressure control should have a manual reset feature for the highest level of system protection. It is not recommended to use the compressor to test the high pressure switch function during the assembly line test.
Compressors requiring certification to the
Pressure Equipment Directive (PED): The nameplate will be marked with a TS min of -35°C where TS min is defined as the minimum allowable temperature. The nameplate will also be marked with a TS max of 150°C where TS max is defined as the maximum allowable temperature (°C, max design temperature, highest temp that can occur during operation or standstill of the refrigeration system or during test under test conditions, specified by the manufacturer). See Table 5 for PED specific information. The nameplate will be marked with the internal free volume (IFV) of the compressor. The first two digits of the compressor serial number references the year of manufacture.
Discharge Check Valve
A low mass, disk type check valve in the discharge fitting of the compressor to prevent the high side, high pressure discharge gas from flowing rapidly back through the compressor after shutdown.

Motor Overload Protection
Conventional internal line break motor overload protection is provided. The overload protector opens the common connection of a single-phase motor and the center of the Y connection on three-phase motors. The three-phase overload protector provides primary singlephase protection. Both types of overload protectors react to current and motor winding temperature.
AE4-1365 R5
Operating Envelope
The ZP model family is approved, and U.L. recognized, for use with R-410A only. See Figures 1a and 1b for the R-410A operating envelope. The envelope represents safe operating conditions with 20F° (11K) superheat in the return gas. Please note that the ZP*KW compressors have a smaller envelope for swimming pool applications.
Power Supply
All motors for the ZP compressors, whether single or three phase, with the excep tion of the “PFV” 208-230,
1Ø, 60 Hz motor, are designed to operate within a voltage range of +/-10% of the voltages shown on the nameplate. For example, a compressor with a nameplate voltage of 200-230 volts can start and operate within a range of 180-253 volts. Compressors with a “PFV” designated motor such as ZP50K3E-PFV, may only be operated in a range of 197-253 volts under maximum load conditions.
Accumulators
The use of accumulators is very dependent on the application. The Copeland Scroll compressor ’s inherent ability to handle liquid refrigerant during occasional operating flood back situations make the use of an accumulator unnecessary in standard designs such as condensing units. Applications such as heat pumps with orifice refrigerant control that allow large volumes of liquid refrigerant to flood back to the compressor during normal steady-state operation can dilute the oil to such an extent that bearings are inadequately lubricated, and wear will occur. In such a case an accumulator must be used to reduce flood back to a safe level that the compressor can tolerate. Heat pumps designed with a TXV to control refrigerant during heating may not require an accumulator if testing assures the system designer that there will be no flood back throughout the operating range. To test for flood back conditions and determine if the accumulator or TXV design is adequate, please see the Application Tests section. The accumulator oil return orifice should be from .040 to .055 inches (1 –
1.4mm) in diameter depending on compressor size and compressor flood back results. A large-area protective screen no finer than 30x30 mesh (0.6mm openings) is required to protect this small orifice from plugging. Tests have shown, that in the presence of very fine debris, a small screen with a fine mesh can easily become plugged causing oil starvation to the compressor bearings. The size of the accumulator depends upon the operating range of the system and the amount of sub cooling and subsequent head pressure allowed by the refrigerant control. System modeling indicates that heat pumps that operate down to and below 0°F (-18°C) will require an accumulator
© 2020 Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.
that can hold around 70% to 75% of the system charge. Behavior of the accumulator and its ability to prevent liquid slugging and subsequent oil pump-out at the beginning and end of the defrost cycle should be assessed during system development. This will require special accumulators and compressors with sight tubes and/or sight glasses for monitoring refrigerant and oil levels.
Screens
Screens finer than 30x30 mesh (.06mm openings) should not be used anywhere in the system with these compressors. Field experience has shown that finer mesh screens used to protect thermal expansion valves, capillary tubes, or accumulators can become temporarily or permanently plugged with normal system debris and block the flow of either oil or refrigerant to the compressor. Such blockage can result in compressor failure.
Crankcase Heat - Single Phase
A crankcase heater is recommended on single phase compressors when the system charge amount exceeds the limit shown in Table 3 . A crankcase heater is required for systems containing more than 120% of the compressor refrigerant charge limit listed in Table
3 . This includes long line length systems where the extra charge will increase the standard factory charge above the 120% limit.
Experience has shown that compressors may fill with liquid refrigerant under certain circumstances and system configurations, notably after long off cycles when the compressor has cooled. This may cause excessive start-up clearing noise; or the compressor may start and trip the internal overload protector several times before running. The addition of a crankcase heater will reduce customer noise and dimming light complaints since the compressor will no longer have to clear out liquid during starting.
Table 4 lists the crankcase heaters recommended for the various models and voltages. voltages. WARNING!
Crankcase heaters must be properly grounded.
The heater should be installed on the compressor shell as shown in Figure 4 . Ideally the heater would come together for clamping with the vertical shell seam weld coming up through the area where the crankcase heater is clamped together. See Figure 4 for details.
Tighten the clamp screw carefully, ensuring that the heater is uniformly tensioned along its entire length and that the circumference of the heater element is in complete contact with the compressor shell. It's important that the clamp screw is torqued to the range of 20-25 in-lb (2.3-8 N m) to ensure adequate contact and to prevent heater burnout. Never apply power to a heater in free air or before the heater is installed on the
7
AE4-1365 R5 compressor to prevent overheating and burnout.
Crankcase Heat - Three Phase
A crankcase heater is required for three-phase compressors when the system charge amount exceeds the compressor charge limit listed in Table 3.
Pump Down Cycle
A pump down cycle for control of refrigerant migration is not recommended for scroll compressors of this size. If a pump down cycle is used, a separate discharge line check valve must be added. The scroll compressor’s discharge check valve is designed to stop extended reverse rotation and prevent high-pressure gas from leaking rapidly into the low side after shut off.
Minimum Run Time
There is no set answer to how often scroll compressors can be started and stopped in an hour, since it is highly dependent on system configuration.
Other than the considerations in the section on Brief
Power Interruptions , there is no minimum off time because Copeland Scroll compressors start unloaded, even if the system has unbalanced pressures. The most critical consideration is the minimum run time required to return oil to the compressor after startup.
To establish the minimum run time, obtain a sample compressor equipped with a sight tube (available from
Emerson) and install it in a system with the longest connecting lines that are approved for the system. The minimum on time becomes the time required for oil lost during compressor startup to return to the compressor sump and restore a minimal oil level that will assure oil pick up through the crankshaft. Cycling the compressor for a shorter period than this, for instance to maintain very tight temperature control, will result in progressive loss of oil and damage to the compressor. See AE17-1262 for more information on preventing compressor short cycling.
Reversing Valves
Since Copeland Scroll compressors have very high volumetric efficiency, their displacements are lower than those of comparable capacity reciprocating compressors. CAUTION Reversing valve sizing must be within the guidelines of the valve manufacturer. Required pressure drop to ensure valve shifting must be measured throughout the operating range of the unit and compared to the valve manufacturer's data. Low ambient heating conditions with low flow rates and low pressure drop across the valve can result in a valve not shifting. This can result in a condition where the compressor appears to be not pumping (i.e. balanced pressures). It can also result in elevated compressor sound levels. During a defrost cycle,
© 2020 Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.
when the reversing valve abruptly changes the refrigerant flow direction, the suction and discharge pressures will go outside of the normal operating envelope. The sound that the compressor makes during this transition period is normal, and the duration of the sound will depend on the coil volume, outdoor ambient, and system charge. The preferred method of mitigating defrost sound is to shut down the compressor for 20 to 30 seconds when the reversing valve changes position going into and coming out of the defrost cycle. This technique allows the system pressures to reach equilibrium without the compressor running. The additional start-stop cycles do not exceed the compressor design limits, but suction and discharge tubing design should be evaluated.
The reversing valve solenoid should be wired so that the valve does not reverse when the system is shut off by the operating thermostat in the heating or cooling mode. If the valve is allowed to reverse at system shutoff, suction and discharge pressures are reversed to the compressor. This results in pressures equalizing through the compressor which can cause the compressor to slowly rotate backwards until the pressures equalize. This condition does not affect compressor durability but can cause unexpected sound after the compressor is turned off.
Low Ambient Cut-Out
Because of internal discharge temperature protection, a low ambient cut-out is not required to limit air-to air heat pump operation. Air-to-water heat pumps must be reviewed since this configuration could possibly run outside of the approved operating envelope ( Figure 1 ) causing overheating or excessive wear.
Oil Type
POE may cause an allergic skin reaction and must be handled carefully and the proper protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) must be used when handling POE lubricant. POE must not come into contact with any surface or material that might be harmed by POE, including without limitation, certain polymers (e.g. PVC/ CPVC and polycarbonate). Refer to the Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) for further details.).
Polyol ester (POE) oil is used in these compressors.
See the compressor nameplate for the original oil charge. A complete recharge should be approximately four fluid ounces (118 ml) less than the nameplate value. Copeland
™
Ultra 32-3MAF, available from
Emerson Wholesalers, should be used if additional oil is needed in the field. Mobil Arctic EAL22CC,
8
AE4-1365 R5
Emkarate RL22, Emkarate 32CF and Emkarate 3MAF are acceptable alternatives.
Contaminant Control
Copeland Scroll compressors leave the factory with a miniscule amount of contaminants. Manufacturing processes have been designed to minimize the introduction of solid or liquid contaminants.
Dehydration and purge processes ensure minimal moisture levels in the compressor and continuous auditing of lubricant moisture levels ensure that moisture isn’t inadvertently introduced into the compressor.
It is generally accepted that system moisture levels should be maintained below 50 ppm. A filter-drier is required on all R-410A and POE lubricant systems to prevent solid particulate contamination, oil dielectric strength degradation, ice formation, and oil hydrolysis and metal corrosion.
It is the system desig ner’s responsibility to make sure the filter-drier is adequately sized to accommodate the contaminants from system manufacturing processes that leave solid or liquid contaminants in the evaporator coil, condenser coil, and interconnecting tubing plus any contaminants introduced during the field installation process. Molecular sieve and activated alumina are two filter-drier materials designed to remove moisture and mitigate acid formation. A 100% molecular sieve filter can be used for maximum moisture capacity. A more conservative mix of molecular sieve and activated alumina, such as 75% molecular sieve and
25% activated alumina, should be used for service applications.
Long Line Sets/High Refrigerant Charge
Some system configurations may contain higher-thannormal refrigerant charges either because of large internal coil volumes or long line sets. If such a system also contains an accumulator then the permanent loss of oil from the compressor may become critical. If the system contains more than 20 pounds (9 kg) of refrigerant, it is our recommendation to add one fluid ounce of oil for every 5 pounds (15 ml/kg) of refrigerant over this amount. This recommendation is a starting point if additional oil is required and the final amount should be determined in the end use application. Compressors with sight-glasses should have their oil levels checked only when the compressor is off, not while the compressor is running.
If the system contains an accumulator the manufacturer of the accumulator should be consulted for a pre-charge recommendation.
Other system components such as shell and tube evaporators can trap significant quantities of oil and should be considered in overall oil requirements.
© 2020 Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.
Reheat coils and circuits that are inactive during part of the normal cycle can trap significant quantities of oil if system piping allows the oil to fall out of the refrigerant flow into an inactive circuit. The oil level must be carefully monitored during system development, and corrective action should be taken if the compressor oil level falls below the top of the lower bearing bracket for more than two minutes. The lower bearing bracket weld points on the compressor shell can be used as a low-oil-level marker.
Discharge Mufflers
Flow through Copeland Scroll compressors is semicontinuous with relatively low pulsation. Because of variability between systems, however, individual system tests should be performed to verify acceptability of sound performance. When no testing is performed, mufflers are recommended in heat pumps. The mufflers should be located a minimum of six inches (15 cm) to a maximum of 18 inches (46 cm) from the compressor for most effective operation. The farther the muffler is placed from the compressor within these ranges the more effective it may be. If adequate attenuation is not achieved, use a muffler with a larger cross-sectional area to inlet-area ratio.
Air Conditioning System Suction Line Noise and
Vibration
The vibration characteristics of the scroll compressor, although low, include two very close frequencies.
These frequencies, which are present in all compressors, may result in a low level “beat” frequency that may be detected as noise coming along the suction line into a house under some conditions. Elimination of the “beat” can be achieved by attenuating either of the contributing frequencies.
The most important frequencies to avoid are 50 and
60 Hz power supply line and twice-line frequencies for single-phase compressors and line frequency for three phase compressors. This is easily done by using one of the common combinations of design configuration described in Table 2.
The scroll compressor makes both a rocking and torsional motion, and enough flexibility must be provided in the line to prevent vibration transmission into any lines attached to the unit. In a split system the most important goal is to ensure minimal vibration is all directions at the service valve to avoid transmitting vibrations to the structure to which the lines are fastened.
Under some conditions the normal rotational starting motion of th e compressor can transmit an “impact” noise along the suction line. This may be particularly pronounced in three-phase models due to their inherently higher starting torque. This phenomenon, like the one described previously, also results from the lack of internal suspension, and can be easily avoided
9
AE4-1365 R5 by using standard suction line isolation techniques as described in Table 2 .
The sound phenomena described above are not usually associated with heat pump systems because of the isolation and attenuation provided by the reversing valve and tubing bends.
Mounting Parts
Table 4 lists the mounting parts to be used with these compressors. Many OEM customers buy the mounting parts directly from the supplier, but Emerson’s grommet design and durometer recommendation should be followed for best vibration reduction through the mounting feet. Please see AE4-1111 for grommet mounting suggestions and supplier addresses.
Electrical Connections
A molded electrical plug must be used with all -1XX and -8XX compressor bills of material. The molded plug must be installed by hand or with an approved installation tool. A hammer must not be used to install the plug.
Three different electrical connections are used within this compressor family as illustrated in the matrix on
Page 4.
NOTICE The molded plug for the ZP104-122KC compressors is larger and will not fit on smaller compressors in this family. Refer to Table 4 for the correct part number. When a molded plug is used with ZP92-122KC compressors the terminal cover must be also be used. This is not the case for smaller compressors with the round terminal fence.
CAUTION Never operate the compressor without the terminal box cover installed.
Deep Vacuum Operation
Copeland Scroll compressors (as with any refrigerant compressor) should never be used to evacuate a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
The scroll compressor can be used to pump down refrigerant in a unit as long as the pressures remain within the operating envelope shown in Figure 1.
Prolonged operation at low suction pressures will result in overheating of the scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll tips, drive bearing and internal seal. See
AE24-1105 for proper system evacuation procedures.
Shell Temperature
Compressor top cap temperatures can be very hot.
Care must be taken to ensure that wiring or other materials which could be damaged by these temperatures do not come into contact with these potentially hot areas.
Certain types of system failures, such as condenser or evaporator fan blockage or loss of charge, may cause the top shell and discharge line to briefly or repeatedly reach temperatures above 350°F (177°C) as the compressor cycles on its internal overload protection device. Care must be taken to ensure that wiring or other materials which could be damaged by these temperatures do not come into contact with these potentially hot areas.
Suction and Discharge Fittings
Copeland Scroll compressors have copper plated steel suction and discharge fittings. These fittings are far more rugged and less prone to leaks than copper fittings used on other compressors. Due to the different thermal properties of steel and copper, brazing procedures may have to be changed from those commonly used. See Figure 7 for assembly line and field brazing recommendations.
System Tubing Stress
System tubing should be designed to keep tubing stresses below 9.5 ksi (62 MPa), the endurance limit of copper tubing. Start, stop and running (resonance) cases should be evaluated.
Three Phase Scroll Compressor Electrical Phasing
Copeland Scroll compressors, like several other types of compressors, will only compress in one rotational direction. Direction of rotation is not an issue with single phase compressors since they will always start and run in the proper direction (except as described in the section “Brief Power Interruptions”). Three phase compressors will rotate in either direction depending upon phasing of the power. Since there is a 50% chance of connecting power in such a way as to cause rotation in the reverse direction, it is important to include notices and instructions in appropriate locations on the equipment to ensure that proper rotation direction is achieved when the system is installed and operated. Verification of proper rotation direction is made by observing that suction pressure drops and discharge pressure rises when the compressor is energized. Reverse rotation will result in no pressure differential as compared to normal values.

A compressor running in reverse will sometimes make an abnormal sound.
There is no negative impact on durability caused by operating three phase Copeland Scroll compressors in the reversed direction for a short period of time (under one hour). After several minutes of reverse operation, the compressor’s internal overload protector will trip shutting off the compressor. If allowed to repeatedly restart and run in reverse without correcting the situation, the compressor bearings will be permanently damaged because of oil loss to the system. All threephase scroll compressors are wired identically internally. As a result, once the correct phasing is determined for a specific system or installation, connecting properly phased power leads to the identified compressor electrical (Fusite
™
) terminals will maintain the proper rotational direction. It should be noted that all three phase scrolls will continue to run in reverse until the internal overload protector opens or the phasing is corrected.
Brief Power Interruptions
Brief power interruptions (less than ½ second) may result in powered reverse rotation of single-phase
Copeland Scroll compressors. This occurs because high-pressure discharge gas expands backward through the scrolls during interruption, causing the scroll to orbit in the reverse direction. When power is reapplied while reverse rotation is occurring, the compressor may continue to run in the reverse direction for some time before t he compressor’s internal overload trips. This will not cause any damage to the compressor, and when the internal overload resets, the compressor will start and run normally.
To avoid disruption of operation, an electronic control that can sense brief power interruptions may be used to lock out the compressor for a short time. This control could be incorporated in other system controls
(such as defrost control board or the system thermostat), or can be a stand-alone control. No time delay is necessary for three phase models since the motor starting torque is high enough to overcome reverse rotation.
Manifolding Tandem Compressors
Tandem compressor assemblies are available for purchase from Emerson. In lieu of purchasing the assembled tandem, the OEM can choose to purchase the tandem ready compressor and perform the assembly. All of the ZP*KC compressors are available for manifolding with another ZP*KC compressor of equal capacity. Some tandems are assembled with compressors of unequal capacity, check with application engineering or on-line product information for availability. Tandem ready compressors are

designated with a -4XX bill of material number at the end of the model number (e.g. ZP61KCE-TFD-420).
See Figure 5 for a picture of an assembled tandem showing the hardware and parts required for assembly.
Drawings of tandem tubing assemblies are available from Emerson Climate Technologies by contacting your Application Engineer.
Tandem Applications
Tandem compressors follow the same application guidelines as single compressors outlined in this bulletin. The refrigerant charge limit for tandem compressors is shown in Table 3 . Crankcase heaters must be installed on each compressor in the tandem set when the system charge amount exceeds the tandem charge limit.
The compressors in a tandem set can be started/stopped in any desired sequence. To help reduce the probability of light dimming and to reduce inrush current, starting the compressors individually is recommended. Should a compressor fail in the tandem set the complete tandem should be removed from the unit and replaced with a new tandem set. Replacing individual compressors is discouraged because of the care that must be used when installing the oil equalization tube and the availability of manifolds to the aftermarket.
APPLICATION TESTS
Application Test Summary
There are a number of tests the system designer will want to run to ensure the system operates as designed. These tests should be performed during system development and are dependent on the system type and amount of refrigerant charge. These application tests are to help identify gross errors in system design that may produce conditions that could lead to compressor failure. The Continuous Floodback
Test and Field Application Test, both outlined below, are two tests to run to help verify the design. When to run these tests can be summarized as follows:
Continuous Floodback
:
Required on all heatpumps.
Field Application Test :
Required for any unit where both the design system charge is higher than the compressor refrigerant charge limit listed in Table 3 ; and a capillary tube, fixed orifice, or bleed-type TXV is used on either the indoor or the outdoor coil of the unit.
11
AE4-1365 R5
Continuous Floodback Test
It is expected that the design would not flood during standard air conditioning operation. Running a partially blocked indoor air filter or loss of evaporator air flow test and comparing the sump temperature results to
Figure 2 is recommended. The use of a TXV in heating does not guarantee operation without flood back in the lower end of the unit/TXV operating range.
To test for excessive continuous liquid refrigerant flood back, it is necessary to operate the system in a test room at conditions where steady state flood back may occur (low ambient heating operation). Thermocouples should be attached with glue or solder to the center of the bottom shell and to the suction and discharge lines approximately 6 inches (15 cm) from the shell. These thermocouples should be insulated from the ambient air with Permagum® or other thermal insulation to be able to record true shell and line temperatures. If the system is designed to be field charged, it should be overcharged by 15% in this test to simulate overcharging often found in field installations.
The system should be operated at an indoor temperature of 70°F (21°C) and outdoor temperature extremes of 10°F (-12°C) or lower in heating to produce flood back conditions. The compressor suction and discharge pressures and temperatures as well as the sump temperature should be recorded. The system should be allowed to frost up for several hours
(disabling the defrost control and spraying water on the outdoor coil may be necessary) to cause the saturated suction temperature to fall below 0°F (-18°C). The compressor sump temperature must remain above the sump temperature shown in Figure 2 or design changes must be made to reduce the amount of flood back. If an accumulator is used, this test can be used to test the effectiveness of the accumulator. Increasing indoor coil volume, increasing outdoor air flow, reducing refrigerant charge, decreasing capillary or orifice diameter, and adding a charge compensator can also be used to reduce excessive continuous liquid refrigerant flood back.
Field Application Test
To test for repeated, excessive liquid flood back during normal system off-cycles, perform the Field
Application Test that is outlined in Table 1 . Obtain a sample compressor with a sight-tube to measure the liquid level in the compressor when it is off.
Note: The sight-tube is not a good liquid level indicator when the compressor is running because the top of the
© 2020 Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.
sight-tube is at a lower pressure than the bottom causing a higher apparent oil level.
Set the system up in a configuration with the indoor unit elevated several feet above the outdoor unit with a minimum of 25 feet (8 meters) of connecting tubing with no traps between the indoor and outdoor units. If the system is designed to be field charged, the system should be overcharged by 15% in this test to simulate field overcharging. Operate the system in the cooling mode at the outdoor ambient, on/off cycle times, and number of cycles specified in Table 1 . Record the height of the liquid in the compressor at the start of each on cycle, any compressor overload trips, or any compressor abnormal starting sounds during each test.
Review the results with Application Engineering to determine if an accumulator or other means of off cycle migration control are required. This test does not eliminate the requirement for a crankcase heater if the system charge level exceeds the values in
Table 3 . The criteria for pass/fail is whether the liquid level reaches the level of the compressor suction tube connection. Liquid levels higher than this can allow refrigerant/oil to be ingested by the scrolls and pumped out of the compressor after start-up.
The tests outlined above are for the common air conditioning and heat pump applications of compressors in this family. Many other applications of the compressors exist, and tests to effectively evaluate those applications and designs can’t possibly be covered in this bulletin. Please consult with Application Engineering on applications outside of those outlined above for the appropriate application tests.
ASSEMBLY LINE PROCEDURES
Installing the Compressor
Use care and the appropriate material handling equipment when lifting and moving compressors.
Personal safety equipment must be used.
Copeland Scroll compressors leave the factory dehydrated, with a dry air holding charge. If compressors are stored in a cold ambient (i.e. outside during the winter), the suction and discharge plugs should not be removed until the compressor has had sufficient time to warm up to the plant ambient temperature. The suggested warm up time is one hour per 4°F (2K) difference between outdoor and indoor temperature. It is suggested that the larger suction plug
12
AE4-1365 R5 be removed first to relieve the internal pressure.
Removing the smaller discharge plug could result in a spray of oil out of this fitting since some oil accumulates in the head of the compressor after
E merson’s run test. The inside of both fittings should be wiped with a lint free cloth to remove residual oil prior to brazing. A compressor containing POE oil should never be left open longer than 20 minutes.
Assembly Line Brazing Procedure and prior to removing the rubber plug in the oil equalization stubs, the assembly should be tilted back a minimum of 12° from horizontal (see Figure 6 ) to move the oil level away from the oil equalization fitting for brazing. The oil equalization stubs of both compressors should be wiped clean with a lint free towel to remove any oil residue before brazing.
Pressure Testing
Personal safety equipment must be used during brazing operation. Heat shields should be used to prevent overheating or burning nearby temperature sensitive parts. Fire extinguishing equipment should be accessible in the event of a fire.
Figure 7 discusses the proper procedures for brazing the suction and discharge lines to a scroll compressor.
NOTICE It is important to flow nitrogen through the system while brazing all joints during the system assembly process.
Nitrogen displaces the air and prevents the formation of copper oxides in the system.
If allowed to form, the copper oxide flakes can later be swept through the system and block screens such as those protecting capillary tubes, thermal expansion valves, and accumulator oil return holes. Any blockage of oil or refrigerant may damage the compressor resulting in failure.
Tandem Assembly
When lifting tandem compressor assemblies, both compressors must be lifted by their respective lifting rings. Use care and exercise extreme caution when lifting and moving compressors.
Personal safety equipment must be used.
The first step in the tandem assembly process is to securely mount both compressors to the rails using the appropriate mounting hardware listed in Table 4 . After both compressors are mounted to the rails, the suction, discharge, and gas equalization manifolds can be brazed to the appropriate stub tubes of each compressor using standard brazing practices with a nitrogen purge. Special consideration needs to be given to the oil equalization line that connects the oil sumps of the two compressors. The ZP92-122KC compressors have oil fittings that are different than other compressors in this family. For tandem applications the 1/4" Schrader fitting should be removed from the oil fittings so the oil equalization line can be attached via rotalock connection or brazing.
The oil in the single, tandem ready compressor is located at the center of the oil equalization fitting. After both compressors are mounted to the compressor rails
Never pressurize the compressor to more than 475
psig (33 bar) for leak checking purposes. Never pressurize the compressor from a nitrogen cylinder or other pressure source without an appropriately sized pressure regulating and relief
valve.
The pressure used on the line to meet the UL burst pressure requirement must not be higher than 475 psig
(33 Bar). Higher pressure may result in permanent deformation of the compressor shell and possible misalignment or bottom cover distortion.
Assembly Line System Charging Procedure
Systems should be charged with liquid on the high side to the extent possible. The majority of the charge should be pumped in the high side of the system to prevent low voltage starting difficulties, hipot failures, and bearing washout during the first-time start on the assembly line.
If additional charge is needed, it should be added as liquid to the low side of the system with the compressor operating. Pre-charging on the high side and adding liquid on the low side of the system are both meant to protect the compressor from operating with abnormally low suction pressures during charging. NOTICE Do not operate the compressor without enough system charge to maintain at least 55 psig (3.8 bar) suction pressure. Do not operate the compressor with the low pressure cut-out disabled. Do no operate with a restricted suction or liquid line. Depending on the discharge pressure, allowing pressure to drop below 55 psig (3.8 bar) for more than a few seconds may overheat the scrolls and cause early drive bearing damage. NOTICE Do not use the compressor to test the opening set point of a high pressure cutout.
Bearings are susceptible to damage before they have had several hours of normal running for proper break in.

“Hipot” (AC High Potential) Testing
Use caution with high voltage and never hipot
when compressor is in a vacuum.
Copeland Scroll compressors are configured with the motor down and the pumping components at the top of the shell. As a result, the motor can be immersed in refrigerant to a greater extent than hermetic reciprocating compressors when liquid refrigerant is present in the shell. In this respect, the scroll is more like semi-hermetic compressors that have horizontal motors partially submerged in oil and refrigerant.
When Copeland Scroll compressors are hipot tested with liquid refrigerant in the shell, they can show higher levels of leakage current than compressors with the motor on top. This phenomenon can occur with any compressor when the motor is immersed in refrigerant. The level of current leakage does not present any safety issue. To lower the current leakage reading, the system should be operated for a brief period of time to redistribute the refrigerant to a more normal configuration and the system hipot tested again. See AE4-1294 for megohm testing recommendations. Under no circumstances should the hipot test be performed while the compressor is under a vacuum.
Final Run Test
Customers that use a nitrogen final run test must be careful to not overheat the compressor. Nitrogen is not a good medium for removing heat from the compressor, and the scroll tips can be easily damaged with high compression ratios and/or long test times.
Copeland Scroll compressors are designed for use with refrigerant, and testing with nitrogen may result in a situation where the compressor does not develop a pressure differential (no pump condition). When testing with nitrogen, the compressor must be allowed to cool for several minutes between tests.
Single phase scrolls with an electrical nomenclature of
“PFV” (208-230 volt, 1Ø, 60 Hertz) at the end of the model number are guaranteed to start at 187 volts or higher and must have a voltage no lower than 197 volts once the compressor is running under load. All other compressor voltages, both single and three phase, 50 & 60 Hertz are guaranteed to start and run at 10% below the lowest voltage shown on the nameplate.
Variable transformers used on assembly lines are often incapable of maintaining the starting voltage when larger compressors are tested. To test for voltage sag during starting, the first compressor in a production run should be used to preset the voltage.
Remove the start wire from the compressor and apply
200 volts to the compressor. With the start winding removed, the compressor will remain on locked rotor long enough to read the supply voltage. If the voltage sags below the minimum guaranteed starting voltage, the variable transformer must be reset to a higher voltage. When discussing this starting amperage it should be noted that “inrush current” and locked rotor amps (LRA) are one and the same. The nameplate
LRA is determined by physically locking a compressor and applying the highest nameplate voltage to the motor. The amperage that the motor draws after four seconds is the value that is used on the nameplate.
Since there is a direct ratio between voltage and locked rotor amperage, the lower the line voltage used to start the compressor, the lower the locked rotor amperage will be.
Unbrazing System Components
Before attempting to braze, it is important to recover all refrigerant from both the high and low
side of the system.
If the refrigerant charge is removed from a scrollequipped unit by recovering one side only, it is very possible that either the high or low side of the system remains pressurized. If a brazing torch is then used to disconnect tubing, the pressurized refrigerant and oil mixture could ignite when it escapes and contacts the brazing flame. Instructions should be provided in appropriate product literature and assembly (line repair) areas. If compressor removal is required, the compressor should be cut out of the system rather than unbrazed. See Figure 7 for proper compressor removal procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Copeland Scroll Compressor Functional Check
A functional compressor test during which the suction service valve is closed to check how low the compressor will pull the suction pressure is not a good indication of how well a compressor is performing.
NOTICE Such a test will damage a scroll compressor in a few seconds. The following diagnostic procedure should be used to evaluate whether a Copeland Scroll compressor is functioning properly:
Proper voltage to the unit should be verified.
14
Determine if the internal motor overload has opened or if an internal motor short or ground fault has

AE4-1365 R5 developed. If the internal overload has opened, the compressor must be allowed to cool sufficiently to allow it to reset.
Check that the compressor is correctly wired.
Proper indoor and outdoor blower/fan operation should be verified.
With service gauges connected to suction and discharge pressure fittings, turn on the compressor. If suction pressure falls below normal levels the system is either low on charge or there is a flow blockage in the system.
Single phase compressors – If the compressor starts and the suction pressure does not drop and discharge pressure does not rise to normal levels, either the reversing valve (if so equipped) or the compressor is faulty. Use normal diagnostic procedures to check operation of the reversing valve. Three phase compressors – If suction pressure does not drop and discharge pressure does not rise to normal levels, reverse any two of the compressor power leads and reapply power to make sure the compressor was not wired to run in reverse. If pressures still do no move to normal values, either the reversing valve (if so equipped) or the compressor is faulty. Reconnect the compressor leads as originally configured and use normal diagnostic procedures to check operation of the reversing valve.
To test if the compressor is pumping properly, the compressor current draw must be compared to published compressor performance curves using the operating pressures and voltage of the system. If the measured average current deviates more than +/-20% from published values, a faulty compressor may be indicated. A current imbalance exceeding 20% of the average on the three phases of a three-phase compressor should be investigated further. A more comprehensive trouble-shooting sequence for compressors and systems can be found in Section H of the
Emerson Climate Technologies Electrical
Handbook, Form No. 6400 .
Before replacing or returning a compressor, be certain that the compressor is actually defective. As a minimum, recheck compressors returned from the field in the shop or depot by testing for a grounded, open or shorted winding and the ability to start. The orange tag in the service compressor box should be filled out and attached to the failed compressor to be returned. The information on this tag is captured in our warranty data base.
Compressor Replacement After a Motor Burn
In the case of a motor burn, the majority of contaminated oil will be removed with the compressor.
The rest of the oil is cleaned with the use of suction and liquid line filter driers. A 100% activated alumina suction filter drier is recommended but must be removed after 72 hours. See AE24-1105 for clean up procedures and AE11-1297 for liquid line filter-drier recommendations. NOTICE It is highly recommended that the suction accumulator be replaced if the system contains one.
This is because the accumulator oil return orifice or screen may be plugged with debris or may become plugged shortly after a compressor failure. This will result in starvation of oil to the replacement compressor and a second failure. The system contactor should be inspected for pitted/burnt contacts and replaced if necessary. It is highly recommended that the run capacitor be replaced when a single phase compressor is replaced.
Start-Up of a New or Replacement Compressor:
It is good service practice, when charging a system with a scroll compressor, to charge liquid refrigerant into the high side only. It is not good practice to dump liquid refrigerant from a refrigerant cylinder into the crankcase of a stationary compressor. If additional charge is required, charge liquid into the low side of the system with the compressor operating. CAUTION Do not start the compressor while the system is in a deep vacuum. Internal arcing may occur when any type of compressor is started in a vacuum. NOTICE Do not operate the compressor without enough system charge to maintain at least 55 psig (3.8 bar) suction pressure. Do not operate with a restricted suction or liquid line. Do not operate with the low pressure cutout disabled.
Allowing suction pressure to drop below
55 psig (3.8 bar) for more than a few seconds may overheat the scrolls and cause early drive bearing damage. Never install a system in the field and leave it unattended with no charge, a holding charge, or with the service valves closed without securely locking out the system. This will prevent unauthorized personnel from accidentally ruining the compressor by operating with no refrigerant flow.

• The copper-coated steel suction tube on scroll compressors can be brazed in approximately the same manner as any copper tube.
• Recommended brazing materials: Any silfos material is recommended, preferably with a minimum of 5% silver. However, 0% silver is acceptable.
• Be sure suction tube fitting I.D. and suction tube
O.D. are clean prior to assembly. If oil film is present wipe with denatured alcohol, Dichloro-
Trifluoroethane or other suitable solvent.
• Using a double-tipped torch apply heat in Area 1. As tube approaches brazing temperature, move torch flame to Area 2.
• Heat Area 2 until braze temperature is attained, moving torch up and down and rotating around tube as necessary to heat tube evenly. Add braze material to the joint while moving torch around joint to flow braze material around circumference.
• After braze material flows around joint, move torch to heat Area 3. This will draw the braze material down into the joint. The time spent heating Area 3 should be minimal.
• As with any brazed joint, overheating may be detrimental to the final result.
