Motor supply SM / SY / SZ scroll compressors can be operated
at nominal voltages as indicated on page 18.
Under-voltage and over-voltage operation is
allowed within the indicated voltage ranges. In
case of risk of under-voltage operation, special
attention must be paid to current draw.
The operating envelopes for SM / SY / SZ
scroll compressors are given in the gures
below, where the condensing and evaporating
temperatures represent the range for steady-
state operation. Under transient conditions, such
as start-up and defrost, the compressor may
operate outside this envelope for short periods.
The gures below show the operating envelopes
for refrigerants R22, R407C, R134a, R404A, R507
and R513A.
The operating limits serve to dene the
envelope within which reliable operations of the
compressor are guaranteed:
• Maximum discharge gas temperature: 275°F
• A suction superheat below 9°F (18°F for R407C)
is not recommended due to the risk of liquid
ood back
• Maximum superheat of 54°F
• Minimum and maximum evaporating and
condensing temperatures as per the operating
envelopes.
SM / SY / SZ compressors can be applied
from -31°F to 145.4°F (for SM/SZ084 to 185)
and 127.4°F (for SY/SZ 240 to 380) ambient
temperature. The compressors are designed
as 100 % suction gas cooled without need for
additional fan cooling. Ambient temperature has
very little eect on the compressor performance.
In case of enclosed tting and high ambient
temperature it’s recommend to check the
temperature of power wires and conformity to
their insulation specication.
In case of safe tripping by the compressor
overload protection the compressor must cool
down to about 140°F before the overload will
reset. A high ambient temperature can strongly
delay this cool-down process.
Although the compressor itself can withstand
low ambient temperature, the system may
require specic design features to ensure safe
and reliable operation. See section ‘Specic
application recommendations’.
