module will only inject liquid when required. When the 

temperature decreases to an acceptable level, the 

module will stop injecting.

3D Copeland Discus Digital™ with Demand Cooling

Demand Cooling can be used with 3D Discus

 

digital compressors without adding extra unloader 

control circuitry. The Demand Cooling temperature 

sensing probe must be installed to replace the 

temperature sensing probe that is provided with the 

Digital Compressor Controller (IDCM). The T1 to 

T2 connection on the Digital Compressor Controller 

should be jumpered with a 5 kOhm 1 Watt resistor.

This allows the Demand Cooling module to protect 

against high discharge temperatures and inject liquid 

when needed.

Performance Adjustment Factors

Since compressor discharge temperature depends 

strongly on the return gas temperature, the amount 

of injection and its effect on evaporator capacity and 

mass flow will vary somewhat with return gas 

temperature. The approximate effects of return gas 

temperature on evaporator capacity and mass 

fl

 ow are 

tabulated in 

Tables 3A 

and

 3B 

for HCFC-22. These 

factors should be applied to the 65ºF return gas capacity 

and mass 

fl

 ow values in the published performance 

data sheets. 

Performance values for HFC-407A, HFC-407C and 
HFC-407F are not provided in this bulletin. For actual 
performance values refer to the "Online Product 
Information" at www.emersonclimate.com. As a 
general rule of thumb, Emerson Climate Technologies 
recommends assuming that HFC-407A, HFC-407C and 
HFC-407F produce about 10% to 15% less evaporator 
capacity than R-22 for low temperature applications.
