2.7 3 or 4step capacity control system
There are two (For RC2100, RC2140, RC2180) or three (for the rest 23 models) solenoid valves installed on the
compressor that control the compressor capacity from minimum capacity (please refer to chapter 2.2 for different
minimum capacity of each model) to full load (100%). There are two / three normally closed (NC) solenoid valves used
to control the various required capacity. For the compressor with 3step / 4step capacity control system, it is usual to
use the sequence of min.%66%100% / min.%50%75%100% to load the capacity of compressor and to use the
sequence of 100%66%min.%/100%75%50%min% to unload the capacity. If min% capacity is kept for a long time,
the problem of oil return, motor cooling, high discharge temperature need to be solved by adding accessories such as
oil level switch for monitoring the oil level, liquid injection devices for cooling motor coil and reducing discharge
temperature.(Figure 8). Min% is recommended for start and stop only, not for longtermed operation.
Figure 8 4step capacity control
Note: For 3step or 4step capacity control system, Hanbell equips normallyclosed (NC) solenoid valves as standard
accessory. If normallyopened (NO) solenoid valves are preferred instead, please specify it to Hanbell when placing
order.
a. min% capacity
When starting the compressor, SV25%/33% solenoid valve is
energized and the piston is in min% capacity position, so even the oil
coming from the oil sump is continuously injecting into the cylinder
through the capillary, the highpressured oil in the cylinder bypasses
directly into the suction port, so the piston is kept in its initial position.
※
It is strongly recommended to energize SV25%/33% solenoid valve for 1~3 minutes before starting the compressor
to ensure the slide valve is in min% position.
b. 50% capacity (omitted for RC2100, 140,180)
When SV50% solenoid valve is energized by the temperature
controller, the highpressure oil in the oil sump flows into the cylinder
due to the closing of min% valve that pushes the piston moving toward
the position where a hole at exactly 50% position drains the oil back to
the suction side then the piston is held on that position.
