C6.2.24/1014-0215/E 

2.4.2  Application limits and operating envelopes 

 

CAUTION 
Inadequate lubrication! Compressor breakdown!

 The superheat at the 

compressor  suction  inlet  must  always  be  sufficient  to  ensure  that  no 
refrigerant droplets enter the compressor. For a typical evaporator-expansion 
valve  configuration a minimum stable superheat of at least 5K is required.  

 
The application envelopes for Digital refrigeration Scroll compressors are for various refrigerants, 
you can find them in the Copeland brand products Select software, which can be downloaded for 
free on our websit
