over  this  amount.  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. 
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  the  inactive  circuit.  The  oil  level  must  be 
carefully  monitored  during  system  development,  and 
corrective action should be taken if the compressor oil 
level  falls  more  than  1.5"(40  mm)  below  the  center  of 
the  sight-glass. 

The  compressor  oil  level  should  be 

checked  with  the  compressor  'off'  to  avoid  the 
sump turbulence when the compressor is running.

 

These  compressors  are  available  to  the  OEM  with  a 
production  sight-glass  that  can  be  used  to  determine 
the  oil  level  in  the  compressor  in  the  end-use 
application.  These  compressors  are  also  available  to 
the OEM with an oil Schrader fitting on the side of the 
compressor  to  add  additional  oil if  needed  because  of 
long  lengths  of  piping  or  high  refrigerant  charge. 

No 

attempt should be made to increase the oil level in 
the  sight-glass  above  the  3/4  full  level.  A  high  oil 
level  is  not  sustainable  in  the  compressor  and  the 
extra  oil  will  be  pumped  out  into  the  system 
causing  a  reduction  in  system  efficiency  and  a 
higher-than-normal oil circulation rate.  

Discharge Check Valve

 

ZPV066  and  ZPV096  compressors  use  a  shutdown 
valve  located in the  discharge fitting. This check valve 
is  not  a  low-leak-back  check valve  and  will leak  when 
pressure differential across the check valve is low.  

Suction and Discharge Tube Design

 

Proper  tube  design  must  be  taken  into  consideration 
when  designing  the  tubing  connecting  the  variable 
speed  scroll  to  the  system.  The tubing  should  provide 
enough 'flexibility' to allow normal starting and stopping 
of the compressor without exerting excessive stress on 
the tube joints.  

Because  the  variable  speed  scroll  has  a  broad 
mechanical  running  frequency  range,  it  will  be  almost 
impossible  to  avoid  all  of  the  natural  frequencies  that 
may  exist  in  the  system  piping.  The  system  designer 
must  carefully  evaluate  these  resonant  frequency 
conditions and either a) avoid them by not allowing the 
compressor  speed  to  align  with  the  resonant 
frequency, or b) evaluate the risk and life of the piping 
system  when  the  compressor  is  allowed  to  run  at 
frequencies that are coincident with natural frequencies 

of the piping system. To do part 'b', strain gauging the 
system piping is required. For assistance in evaluating 
strain gauging results contact Application Engineering. 

In order to properly determine if a design is appropriate 
for  a  given  application,  samples  should  be  tested  and 
evaluated  for  stress  under  various  conditions  of  use 
including  frequency,  load  fluctuations,  and  shipping 
vibration.  The  guidelines  above  may  be  helpful; 
however, testing should be performed for each system 
designed.  For  further  assistance  and  analysis  of  test 
results please contact Application Engineering.

 

Compressor Mounting

 

ZPV066 and ZPV096 compressors have pierced holes 
in  the  mounting  feet  so  mounting  grommets  with  a 
relief are not required. 

Table 1

 lists the recommended 

mounting  parts.  It  is  extremely  important  to  use  the 
correct  durometer  grommet  and  to  have  consistent 
durometer  quality. Wrong  or inconsistent  durometer  of 
the  mounting  grommets  can  result  in  sound  and 
vibration  complaints.  For  additional  information  on 
grommet  durometer  please  consult  with  Application 
Engineering. 

 

Discharge Mufflers

 

For  a variable  speed  compressor,  discharge  pulse  will 
generally  decrease  as  speed  increases  or  if  
compression ratio decreases. As speed decreases or if 
compression  ratio  increases  the  discharge  pulse  will 
increase.  Fixed  capacity  or  two-step  capacity  units 
have  typically  had  discharge  gas  pulsation  mufflers 
only  in  heat  pump  applications.  A  variable  capacity 
heat  pump  and/or  air  conditioner  may  both  require  a 
discharge  gas  pulsation  muffler.  Discharge  pulse 
amplitude and frequency and their effects on the piping 
system  must  be  taken  into  account.  If  testing 
determines  that  a  muffler  is  needed  to  attenuate 
discharge  pulse,  a  hollow  shell  muffler  such  as  the 
Emerson Flow Controls APD164S must be used.

 

The  mufflers  should  be  located  a  minimum  of  six 
inches (15 cm) to a maximum of 18 inches (46cm) 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.

 

Airborne Sound Control

 

In  addition  to  structure  and  gas  borne  sound 
transmission, special consideration needs to be given to 
compressor  airborne  sound.  A-weighted,  steady-state 
sound  data  is  available  from  Application  Engineering. 
Sound  data  is  also  available  at  the  nominal  cooling 
condition of 50°F  (10°C) evaporating and 115°F (46°C)
