Features

With its unique scroll design and manufacturing

process exibility, the new Danfoss scroll for

refrigeration, MLZ/MLM116 oers a highly

ecient solution for demanding refrigeration

applications.

This new medium-temperature scroll compressor

is designed for commercial refrigeration

applications and extends Danfoss’ refrigeration

compressors to 26.8 kW (15 HP) at common

voltage and with a common refrigerant

(R404A-R22).

Thanks to its dedicated refrigeration design, the

MLZ/MLM scroll compressor delivers a number

of powerful advantages. With its high-eciency

motor and optimized scroll design, it reduces

energy cost in normal operating conditions and

delivers high capacity and an optimized pressure

ratio for refrigeration applications.

6 FRCC.PC.035.A5.02

Application Guidelines Single compressors

Scroll compression principle

Danfoss scroll compressors are manufactured

using the most advanced machining, assembly

and process control techniques. In the design

of both the compressor and the factory, very

high standards of reliability and process control

were rst priority. The result is a highly ecient

product with the highest reliability obtainable,

and a low sound level.

The entire scroll compression process is

illustrated below. The center of the orbiting scroll

traces a circular path around the center of the

xed scroll. This movement creates compression

pockets between the two scroll elements.

Low pressure suction gas is trapped within each

crescent-shaped pocket as it forms; continuous

motion of the orbiting scroll serves to seal the

pocket, which decreases in volume as the pocket

moves towards the center of the scroll set,

with a corresponding increase in gas pressure.

Maximum compression is achieved as the pocket

reaches the discharge port at the center.

Scroll compression is a continuous process: when

one pocket of gas is being compressed during

the second orbit, another gas quantity enters

a new pocket formed at the periphery and,

simultaneously, another is being discharged.

be taken to avoid the temperature around the

compressor and in the terminal box from rising

too much. The installation of ventilation on the

enclosure panels may be necessary. If not, the

electronic protection module may not operate

properly. Any compressor damage related to this

will not be covered by the Danfoss warranty. In

the same manner, cables must be selected in a

Locked Rotor Amp value is the higher average

current as measured on mechanically blocked

compressor tested under nominal voltage. The

LRA value can be used as rough estimation for

the starting current. However in most cases, the

real starting current will be lower. A soft starter

can be applied to reduce starting current.

LRA (Locked rotor amp)

The MCC is the current at which the motor

protection trips under maximum load and

low voltage conditions. This MCC value is the

maximum at which the compressor can be

operated in transient conditions and out of

the application envelope. Above this value, the

electronic module will cut out the compressor to

protect the motor.

MCC (Maximum continuous

current)

The max. operating current is the current when

the compressor operates at maximum load

conditions and 10% below nominal voltage.

Max Oper. A can be used to select cables and

contactors.

In normal operation, the compressor current

consumption is always less than the Max Oper. A.

value.

Winding resistance is the resistance between

phases at 25°C (resistance value +/- 7%).

Winding resistance is generally low and it

requires adapted tools for precise measurement.

Use a digital ohm meter, a "4 wires" method and

measure under stabilized ambient temperature.

Winding resistance varies strongly with winding

temperature. If the compressor is stabilized

at a dierent value than 25°C, the measured

resistance must be corrected using following

The inrush current for the Danfoss MLM/MLM116

compressors with motor code 4

380-415 V/3 ph/50 Hz can be reduced using

the Danfoss soft starter. MCI soft starters are

designed to reduce the starting current of

3-phase AC motors; they can reduce the inrush

current by up to 40%, thereby eliminating the

detrimental eects of high-starting torque surges

and costly demand charges from the resultant

current spike.

Danfoss MCI soft-start

controller

Upon starting, the controller gradually increases

the voltage supplied to the motor until full-line

voltage has been reached.

For MCI50M, all settings such as initial torque,

ramp-up time (less than 0.5sec) and ramp-

down time are preset and do not require any

modication.

General wiring

information

The wiring diagrams below are examples for

safe and reliable compressor wiring. In case an

alternative wiring logic is chosen, it is imperative

to respect the following rules:

When a safety switch trips, the compressor must

stop immediately and must not re-start until

the tripping condition is back to normal and

the safety switch is closed again. This applies to

the LP safety switch, the HP safety switch, the

discharge gas thermostat and the motor safety

thermostat.

In specic situations, such as winter start

operation, an eventual LP control for pump-

down cycles may be temporarily bypassed to

allow the system to build pressure. But it remains

mandatory for compressor protection to apply an

LP safety switch. The LP safety switch must never

be bypassed.

Pressure settings for the LP and HP safety switch

and pump-down listed in table from section "Low

pressure".

When ever possible (i.e. PLC control), it is

recommended to limit the possibilities of

compressor auto restart to less than 3 to 5 times

during a period of 12 hours when caused by

motor protection or LP safety switch tripping.

This control must be managed as a manual reset

device.

MLM/MLZ116 Electronic module located in terminal box



Compressor models MLM/MLZ116 are delivered

with a pre-installed motor protection module

inside the terminal box. This device provides

for ecient and reliable protection against

overheating/overloading/phase loss/reversal.

The motor protector comprises a control module

and PTC sensors embedded in the motor

winding. The close contact between thermistors

and windings ensures a very low level of thermal

inertia.

The motor temperature is being constantly

measured by a PTC thermistor loop connected

on S1-S2. If any thermistor exceeds its response

temperature, its resistance increases above the

trip level (4,500 Ω) and the output relay then

trips – i.e. contacts M1-M2 are open. After cooling

to below the response temperature (resistance

<2,750Ω), a 5-minute time delay is activated.

After this delay has elapsed, the relay is once

again pulled in – i.e. contacts M1-M2 are closed.

The time delay may be cancelled by means

of resetting the mains (L-N -disconnect) for

approximately 5 sec.

A red/green twin LED is visible on the module. A

solid green LED denotes a fault-free condition.

A blinking red LED indicates an identiable fault

Electrical data, connections and wiring

Use a phase meter to establish the phase

orders and connect line phases L1, L2 and L3

to terminals T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The

compressor will only operate properly in a single

direction, and the motor is wound so that if the

connections are correct, the rotation will also be

correct.

Phase sequence and reverse

rotation protection

The lockout may be cancelled by resetting the

power mains (disconnect L-N) for approximately

5 seconds.

Compressor models MLM/MLZ116 are delivered

with an electronic module which provides

protection against phase reversal and phase

loss at start-up. Apply the recommended wiring

diagrams from section "Suggested wiring

diagram logic". The circuit should be thoroughly

checked in order to determine the cause of the

phase problem before re energizing the control

circuit.

The phase sequencing and phase loss monitoring

functions are active during a 5-sec window 1

Operating conditions

The scroll compressor application range is

inuenced by several parameters which need to

be monitored for a safe and reliable operation.

These parameters and the main

recommendations for good practice and safety

devices are explained hereunder.

• Refrigerant and lubricants

• Motor supply

• Compressor ambient temperature

• Application envelope (evaporating

temperature, condensing temperature, return

gas temperature)

General information

Refrigerant and

lubricants

When choosing a refrigerant, dierent aspects

must be taken into consideration:

• Legislation (now and in the future)

• Safety

• Application envelope in relation to expected

running conditions

• Compressor capacity and eciency

• Compressor manufacturer recommendations &

guidelines

Additional points could inuence the nal choice:

• Environmental considerations

• Standardization of refrigerants and lubricants

• Refrigerant cost

• Refrigerant availability

R22 R22 is an HCFC refrigerant and is still a wide

use today. It has a low ODP (Ozone depletion

potential) and therefore it will be phased out in

the future. Check local legislation.

When R22 is applied in refrigeration applications

it can lead to high discharge temperature.

Carefully check all other parameters that can

inuence the discharge temperature.

R404A

PVE

R404A is an HFC refrigerant. R404A has zero

ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0). R404A

is especially suitable for low evaporating

temperature applications but it can also be

applied to medium evaporating temperature

applications. R404A is a mixture and has a very

small temperature glide, and therefore must

be charged in its liquid phase, but for most

other aspects this small glide can be neglected.

Because of the small glide, R404A is often called a

near-azeotropic mixture.

Polyvinyl ether (PVE) is an innovative refrigeration

lubricant for HFC refrigerant systems. PVE is as

hygroscopic as existing polyolester lubricants

(POE), but PVE doesn’t chemically react with

water; no acids are formed and compressor

evacuation is easier.

The compressor technology applied in MLZ

compressors in combination with PVE lubricant

provides the best possible result in terms of

reliability and compressor lifetime.

Mineral oil Mineral oil can be applied in system using HCFC

refrigerant because it has a good miscibility

with HCFC and oil that leave the compressor

with refrigerant may not be trapped in lines or

exchangers. The chlorine contained in HCFCs

improves lubricity in bearings used with mineral

oil. Mineral oil has a very low hygroscopicity but

may chemically react with water and form acids.

Operating conditions

Motor supply MLZ/MLM scroll compressors can be operated at

nominal voltages as indicated in the table in the

section “Motor voltage”. 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 MLZ/MLM 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 MLZ/MLM compressors with refrigerants

R404A and R22. The operating limits serve

to dene the envelope within which reliable

operations of the compressor are guaranteed:

• Maximum discharge gas temperature: +135°C.

• Minimum suction superheat should be above

5 K due to the risk of liquid ood-back.

• Attention to suction line insulation to reduce

unuseful superheat.

• Minimum and maximum evaporating and

condensing temperatures as per the operating

envelopes.

MLZ/MLM compressors can be applied from

-35°C to 55°C 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 internal

compressor overload protection the compressor

must cool down to about 60°C 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’.
