About these guidelines 

The purpose of these application guidelines is to provide guidance in the application of Copeland 
Scroll

™ compressors in users’ systems. They are intended to answer the questions raised while 

designing, assembling and operating a system with these products. 

Besides the support they provide, the instructions listed herein are also critical for the proper and 
safe functioning of the compressors. Emerson will not guarantee the performance and reliability 
of the product if it is misused in regard of these guidelines. 

These application guidelines cover stationary applications only. For mobile applications, contact 
Application Engineering as other considerations may apply. 

Safety instructions 

Copeland Scroll

™ compressors are manufactered according to the latest European and US Safety 

Standards. Particular emphasis has been placed on the 

user’s safety.

Directive MD 2006/42/EC and the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU. They may be 
put  to  service  only  if  they  have  been  installed  in  these  systems  according  to  instructions  and 
conform  to  the  corresponding  provisions  of  legislation.  For  relevant  standards  please  refer  to 
Manufacturers Declaration, available at 

www.climate.emerson.com/en-gb

These instructions should be retained throughout the lifetime of the compressor. 

You are strongly advised to follow these safety instructions.
