4.4 Refrigerant Type
The TT300/TT350/TT400/TT500 compressors are totally oil-free and optimized for use with refrigerant R134a.
4.4.1 TG310
The TG310 compressor is for use with R1234ze(E) refrigerant only.
ASHRAE standard 34 has classified this refrigerant as “R1234ze(E) with safety classification of A2L”. ASHRAE Standard 34, 2010 Addendum 1 contains the change to the standard.
ASHRAE Standard 15 (Safety Standard) has sent out an initial public review document outlining proposed changes to this standard to address 2L refrigerants.
4.5 Environment
The compressor should be stored and operated within the following ambient temperature ranges:
• Storage: -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F).
• Operation: -1°C to 46°C (30°F to 115°F).
• Electronics Minimum Operating Limit: -25°C (-13°F)

Applications Manual
5 AccessoriesRefer to the Accessories Manual for product descriptions and specifications.
6 Product ApplicationTurbocor compressors are to be used in stationary installations only. For any moving or marine applications, contact DTC.
6.1 TG310
It is the responsibiity of the OEM to ensure that proper safety protocols are in place and that the chiller system has been designed in a manner that is compliant with all local codes and regulatory requirements governing the user of these types of refrigerants. OEMs must also ensure compliance with the requirements stated in the manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for R1234ze(E), and that other system components are compatible with the refrigerant, giving special attention to elastomers and seals.
7 Economizer OptionTurbocor compressors use two stage centrifugal compression with interstage port availability. This feature provides advantages of capacity and efficiency improvement by installing and operating an economizer. The improvements in efficiency and capacity are a result of further subcooling of the liquid refrigerant. Two types of economizer arrangements can be used: subcooler or flashtank. See Figure 34 and Figure 35. Refrigerant must enter the compressor in “gas” state into the economizer port. Care must be taken to ensure that no liquid enters the compressor.
Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 11M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
8 Compressor Current Limit and Operating Range Settings
The new compressor controller (version 3.0.0 and above; see Section 1.1 "Scope") is designed to allow a user to configure the current setting based on the intended application. The compressor defines the Full Load Amperage (FLA) and Locked Rotor Amperage (LRA) as a range on the nameplate. The settings for the FLA and LRA are adjustable using the Service Monitoring Tool (SMT) or directly from the customer controller application.
The 3-Phase Over Current Alarm (FLA) cannot be set higher than the 3-Phase Over-Current Fault limit (LRA). The maximum fault limit and alarm limit settings are dependent upon the Voltage and Model the Model type defines the range for the FLA and LRA values.

Applications Manual
TT300 compressors used in air cooled applications may also require adjustment to the Discharge Pressure trip and alarm settings as well as the Pressure Ratio alarm setting.
See Section 4.1 "Maximum Pressure" for more information on setting these values.
NOTEIt is possible to adjust the FLA Maximum to equal the LRA Minimum, but this is not recommended. A difference should be maintained of no less than 10% between the FLA and LRA in order to allow the compressor to adjust prior to tripping on over current.
Failure to adjust the 3-Phase Current Alarm and Fault limits from the factory settings could result in limitation of the compressor performance.
! • • • CAUTION! • • •Adjustment to the 3-Phase Over Current Alarm and Fault Limits cannot exceed the electrical rating for the disconnect, fuses or wire size. Power configuration must be in accordance with applicable local, national and international building codes (such as NEC/CEC).
! • • • WARNING! • • •

10 Minimum Unloading CapacityDue to the centrifugal compression nature of Turbocor compressors, the minimum unloading capacity depends on the operating pressure ratio. The lower the pressure ratio, the lower the minimum unloading capability. For a quick and easy reference, the following graphs have been created to determine the minimum unloading capacity versus the saturated discharge temperature (SDT) for given saturated suction temperatures (SST).
The following graphs are intended as a guide that should be considered in system design. Refer to the relevant selection program for more accurate values.

11 Control Logic Guidelines For Multiple CompressorsDue to the nature of centrifugal compression, special control logic must be implemented for proper staging of multiple Turbocor compressors when installed on a common circuit. This section is intended only as a guide without going into details. Control details are specific to each OEM's individual control strategy. The Turbocor centrifugal compressors can be controlled by staging compressors and running the on line compressors in parallel.
11.1 Staging of the Compressors
Compressors can be staged one-by-one by staging the compressors depending on the system load and demand. Using this approach to compressor control, the lead compressor starts and loads up close to its full capacity before the next compressor is brought on line. Prior to energizing any lag compressor, the lead compressor should run in a stable condition for a few minutes and demand should be checked to see if there is still enough load to justify staging an additional compressor. The load must be high enough to ensure that the compressor(s) online plus the compressor being added will not over shoot and/or surge.
If additional compressors need to be brought online after going through the above process, the operating compressor(s) must be unloaded (slowed down) to decrease the discharge pressure and increase the suction pressure. Continue to reduce the pressure ratio to less than 2.4, then start the next compressor. Operate all energized compressors in parallel and load them equally.
A Load Balancing Valve (LBV) may need to be activated if the pressure ratio is not reduced to lower than 2.4. A staging valve is recommended to be used to minimize the influence of the check valve and facilitate the smooth staging process.
However, if the pressure ratio still stays higher than 2.4, the operating compressor(s) may need to be cycled off, and then restarted with the lag compressor(s) in parallel.
A compressor should be cycled off when insufficient load causes operating multiple compressors to go into surge so that the remaining operating compressors can speed up to meet the demand and operate more efficiently.
To improve operating efficiency during part loads in a multiple-compressor system, maximize the number of compressors in operation without allowing them to go into surge.
During the staging operation, it is more efficient and stable to run the compressors in full vane away from surge and choke lines as much as possible.
NOTEThese control guidelines are specifically written for single-circuited (multiple compressors on a common refrigerant circuit) applications. Individually circuited applications have similar staging requirements. However, the ramping down before adding additional compressors may not be required.
NOTEPressure ratio is the ratio of absolute discharge to absolute suction pressure. It can be calculated as follows:• (DP + 101) / (SP + 101) (kPa) OR• (DP + 14.7) / (SP + 14.7) (psi)

12.3 AC Input Line/Power Electronic Component Protection
Most codes require that upstream branch protection be provided to protect input power wiring personnel and switching equipment from damage in the event of an over current condition or equipment failure. Standard fuses and/ or circuit breakers do not provide adequate protection for the compressor’s power electronics components.
User-supplied, properly sized and selected fast-acting fuses must be installed according to the applicable local, national, and international codes. The fuses must be installed in the line before each compressor’s AC input terminals.
Use only properly rated fast-acting line fuses suitable for semiconductor protection, such as Littelfuse JLLS series, Siemens Sitor 3NE1 series, or equivalent.
• • • DANGER! • • •Fast-acting fuses are only for the purpose of reducing the accumulated energy in a compressor’s power electronics caused by a short circuit event. Properly sized and selected fast acting fuses must be installed.Sub-circuit protection must be considered separately in accordance with local electrical requirements. User-supplied branch circuit protection must be installed in accordance with local, national, and international codes (such as NEC/CEC). The fuses must be installed in the line before the compressor’s AC input terminals.

Applications Manual
12.4 Power Line Contactor
The power line contactor is optional. Consult local codes to determine if a contactor is necessary for your application.
12.5 CE Compliance and EMI/EMC Filtering
To address EMI/EMC problems, DTC recommends the installation of a UL-approved EMI/EMC filter device on the input power line. Refer to the Accessories Manual for details.
Although all Turbocor compressors are CE listed, the compliance of the compressor with the EMC directive depends on the use of the CE EMI/EMC filter provided by DTC (see Accessories Manual for further details). If this is not possible because of the nature of your application and/or installation, an alternative component with the same attenuation characteristics must be used to maintain compliance with the EMC Directive. It is the responsibility of the user to maintain compliance with the Directives. Contact a DTC sales representative for more details.
Proper installation of the EMI/EMC filter can have a dramatic effect on overall performance. Although the filter reduces electrical noise on the power lines (conducted emissions), it should be located as close as possible to the compressor to reduce broadcasting of the noise (radiated emissions) from the power lines themselves. The capacitors within the filter short the noise to ground so it is imperative that the filter maintains a good ground. A short, heavy, stranded conductor from the filter chassis to the main ground bus is recommended for top performance. A battery braid, litz wire, or flexible welding cable with many fine strands, is recommended for best grounding performance. The multiple-strand cabling provides more surface area in order to conduct the high frequencies that are on the grounding cable.
Radiation of noise is also a concern for power line routing as it can effectively bypass the filter. Input and output filter leads should be separated by a maximum practical distance within enclosures and should be routed separately in interconnecting conduits when used.
12.6 Surge Protection
All Turbocor compressors have been tested in accordance with IEC Standard 1000-4-4. Electrical Fast Transient/Burst Requirement. For additional protection, a surge suppressor can be installed in parallel with the compressor. It is recommended to install surge suppression in sites that are susceptible to lighting.
12.7 Harmonic Filtering (IEEE 519)
In order to comply with IEEE 519 requirements, DTC recommends the installation of a harmonic filter device in parallel with the compressor as shown in Figure 11.
Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 25M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
12.8 Grounding (Earth) Connection Guidelines
1. All metal parts should be connected to ground, including the shields of electrical cables.
2. Verify continuity of all ground connections.
3. Ensure solid ground connections (both mechanical and electrical). Connections must be clean, and grease and paint free.
4. At one point, usually the entrance of the power supply panel, all grounds should be connected together (refer to Section 12.9).
From an EMC standpoint, it is best to categorize different types of grounds and treat them independently (see Figure 12):
• Safety ground (Protective Earth [PE]) and shields of mains cables.
• Analog grounds, shielding of interface cables.
• Digital grounds.
• Reference ground (panel doors, backplate, etc.).

12.9 Equipment Panel
Normally, the line reactor, EMI/EMC filter(s), and the harmonic filter will be installed in a panel. This could be the same panel where the controls are located. When designing a panel, attention should be given to the following recommendations:
• All metal parts should be properly connected to ensure an electrical connection. Connect panel doors with braided cable.
• Separate panel into sections for power and interface/control functions.
• Keep power cables and interface cables separate. Use metal cable glands for shielded cables.
• The wire-loom going to the panel door should be shielded using a metal-braided hose that is connected to ground at both ends.
• Electrical panel must have a dedicated ground conductor in accordance with relevant electrical codes.
• Verify that the panel ground conductor is sized in accordance with relevant electrical codes.
12.10 Mains Input Cable Specification
The aim of electrical cables is to be a carrier (conductor) for electrical power. The influence of the power source on the environment, or the influence of the environment on the power source, should be such that neither the proper functioning of the compressor nor equipment in its environment is adversely affected. Therefore, DTC advises to use some type of shielded cable for the mains input.
When using shielded cable, select a cable with an effective shield. A cable with an aluminum foil will be far less effective than a specially designed conductive braid. It is best to connect both ends of the cable shield to ground since the shield is not part of the signal path.
The mains input cable should be CSA, UL, or CE approved, three-wire with a common shield and single ground. The cable must be rated for 90°C (194°F) minimum at the maximum applicable current. It is recommended that the cable be double-jacketed, i.e., teck cable type. Refer to Table 12-3 for cable gland specifications.
NOTEThe installing electrical contractor is responsible for connecting the panel ground to the facility ground in accordance with relevant electrical codes and standards, such as NEC Section 250 in the U.S. or its equivalent for other countries. Special filtering and measuring may be required in installations such as hospitals that are prone to being influenced by other electronic equipment.

13.1 Control Wiring Connection Guidelines
To ensure proper control wiring techniques, follow these guidelines:
1. The ground reference of the external circuit connected to the Compressor I/O Board must be at the same potential as the ground reference on the Compressor I/O Board.
2. The Interlock circuit should be voltage-free. For instance, all external contractors/switches must not introduce current into the circuit.
3. Analog outputs (such as Motor Speed) must be received by the external circuit without sending current back to the Compressor I/O Board.
4. All interlock and analog output cables should be shielded with one end of the shield connected to the common analog or digital ground bus. The other end of the shield must not be grounded as this would create a ground loop.

Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 29M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
13.2 Interface Cable
The cable that carries the I/O communication to the compressor is 5 meters (16.4 feet) in length and is equipped with high-density 44-pin connectors (female at one end and male at the other end). An extension cable is available from your local supplier.
For RS-485 communication, the maximum cable length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). If using RS-232 communication, the cable length should not exceed 15 meters (50 feet) between the PC and the compressor (refer to Figure 14).
Figure 14 I/O Wiring Specifications
NOTEIf an I/O extension cable is used, heat-shrink tubing should be applied to the mating cable connectors to maintain good conductivity and protect the connection from heat and humidity.

14 Piping ConsiderationsCare should be exercised when selecting pipe sizes as they will vary according to their application. Section 19, “System Design Guidelines,” provides examples of compressor piping arrangements for the most common applications.
The motor-cooling line should be channeled from the liquid line; refer to Section 19.2 for more information. DTC requires the installation of a sight glass and full-flow liquid dryer in the motor-cooling line.
NOTESome applications may require alternative arrangements. Contact DTC for further assistance, if required.
! • • • CAUTION! • • •The discharge line must be fitted with a non-return valve to prevent reverse flow into the discharge port, which can cause damage to compressor components.It is recommended that a strainer be installed in the suction line for the first 100 hours of operation, at 80-100% load, to prevent the ingress of foreign particles into the compressor. IGV and/or impeller damage caused by foreign particles will void the warranty.All pipe work should be carried out in accordance with industry standards. Brazing without the use of nitrogen will result in debris being deposited in the pipes, potentially leading to blockage or damage.Discharge piping should contain a caution label from system manufacturers or compressor installers that the surface is hot.

Applications Manual
15 Environmental Considerations15.1 Humidity
If the compressor is installed in a humid environment, drip trays may be required to collect condensate. Insulation should be installed on the suction valve/piping and the end cap as this is where condensation is most likely to form.
It is recommended to fit an End Cap insulator in a humid environment.
15.2 Vibration
External copper piping should be braced to minimize the transfer of vibration to the compressor.
16 Shipping Considerations16.1 Vibration
When shipping the compressor as an integral part of a chiller unit, precautions should be taken to protect the compressor motor cooling line from excessive vibration. Due to the flexibility of the compressor’s isolation mounts, compressor vibration during transit can fracture the motor cooling line’s rigid piping. DTC suggests the temporary installation of an anti-vibration bracket between the compressor’s base frame and mounting rail during transit, as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16 Anti-Vibration Bracket
Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 33M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
17 Physical DataThis section contains data relative to compressor mounting, service clearance, and piping connections.See Figure 18 and Figure 19. Note: The dimensions in Figure 17, Figure 18, Figure 19 show measurements in metric with imperial in parenthesis.
17.1 Mounting Base
The compressor must be mounted on a rigid surface of sufficient structural integrity to support the weight of the compressor and valves (see Figure 27 and Table 17-1). A mounting kit is available to isolate the compressor from the supporting structure and to minimize vibration from other rotating equipment. The compressor mounting rails should be level ± 3/16” (5mm) in the lateral and longitudinal planes.
17.2 Clearance
Adequate clearance around the compressor is essential to facilitate maintenance and service. Removal of the compressor top and service-side covers requires a minimum clearance of 24" (600mm) and 16" (406mm), respectively.

Applications Manual
18 Guide SpecificationsThis section contains written specifications for the TT300/TT350/TT400/TT500/TG310 compressors for use in system design specifications.
18.1 General
Construction shall utilize a two-stage, variable-speed, centrifugal compressor design requiring no oil for lubrication. Compressor shall be constructed with cast aluminum casing and high-strength thermoplastic electronics enclosures. The two-stage centrifugal impellers shall consist of cast and machined aluminum. The motor rotor and impeller assembly shall be the only major moving parts.
18.2 Refrigerant
Compressors shall be designed for use with R134a with the exception of the TG310 which is designed for use with R1234ze(E).
18.3 Compressor Bearings
The compressor shall be provided with radial and axial magnetic bearings to levitate the shaft, thereby eliminating metal-to-metal contact, and thus eliminating friction and the need for oil. The magnetic bearing system shall consist of front, rear, and axial bearings. Both the front and the rear bearings are to levitate the shaft at X and Y directions, and the axial at Z direction. Each bearing position shall be sensed by position sensors to provide real-time repositioning of the rotor shaft, controlled by onboard digital electronics.
18.4 Capacity Control
The compressor shall have a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for linear capacity modulation, high part-load efficiency and reduced in-rush starting current. It shall include an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) type inverter that converts the DC voltage to an adjustable three-phase AC voltage. Signals from the compressor controller shall determine the inverter output frequency, voltage and phase, thereby regulating the motor speed. In case of power failure, the compressor shall be capable of allowing for a normal de-levitation and shutdown.
Compressor speed shall be reduced as condensing temperature and/or heat load reduces, optimizing energy performance through the entire range from 100 percent to 30 percent or below. Capacity modulates infinitely as motor speed is varied across the range. Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) shall be built-in to further trim the compressor capacity in conjunction with the variable-speed control to optimize compressor performance at low loads. Refer to DTC Selection Software for performance calculations and limits.
18.5 Compressor Motor
The compressor shall be provided with a direct-drive, high-efficiency, permanent-magnet synchronous motor powered by pulse-width-modulating (PWM) voltage supply. The motor shall be compatible with high-speed variable-frequency operation that affords high-speed efficiency, compactness and soft start capability. Motor cooling shall be by liquid refrigerant injection.
18.6 Compressor Electronics
The compressor shall include a microprocessor controller capable of controlling magnetic bearings and speed control. The controller shall be capable of providing monitoring, including commissioning assistance, energy outputs, operation trends, and fault codes via a ModBus interface.
Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 43M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
18.6.1 Ancillary Devices
A check valve shall be installed on the discharge port of the compressor to protect against backflow of refrigerant during coast down. It is recommended that the valve be located after the properly designed discharge cone adaptor, preferably close to the condenser in the packaged system. The system shall also be provided with an appropriately sized line reactor.

Applications Manual
19 System Design Guidelines In addition to the instructions detailed in the TT300, TT350, TT40, TT500 and TG310 technical documentation set, this section provides basic guidelines and requirements for the design and manufacture of R134a systems equipped with DTC compressors.
Refer to the applicable DTC technical manual for applications, operating, installation and commissioning instructions.
19.1 General Requirements
1. Check for compliance with all installation, operating, commissioning and service steps, as outlined in the documentation set. Check for the appropriate operating envelope and minimum unloading capacity for the intended application.
2. System components such as evaporators, condensers, valves, etc., should be properly selected and sized for appropriate performance and compatibility to suit R134a refrigerant. Compatibility to suit R1234ze(E) refrigerant is required for TG310.
3. The system suction and discharge piping should be properly designed and selected for minimum pressure drop. This requirement is more critical with the suction line. Since the Turbocor compressor operates without lubricating oil, conventional piping considerations that ensure oil return, such as multiple risers and traps, are not required. In all cases of suction and discharge lines, a bigger diameter is better.
4. For improved efficiency and better control, particularly at low load / low compression ratios, electronic expansion valves (EXVs) are strongly recommended. To take advantage of low pressure ratio operation to improve low load performance and efficiency, EXV capacity should be selected accordingly. Thermal expansion valves (TXVs) are not recommended due to the general inability of these devices to adequately cover the operating spectrum of centrifugal compressors, particularly at low compression ratios.
5. Take all necessary precautions to prevent any possibility of liquid floodback to the compressor. This means consideration during the ON and OFF cycles, particularly in multiple compressor installations. This WILL include, but is not limited to, the inclusion of a liquid line solenoid valve and piping, evaporator and condenser arranged in a manner that prevents free drainage of liquid to compressor.
6. The refrigeration piping system must be clean and free of all debris in accordance with refrigeration-industry best practices Particles can damage the compressor.
7. Each compressor MUST be fitted with its own positive sealing discharge line check valve. This valve MUST be selected as a minimum pressure drop at full capacity and low 'crack open' pressure. A robust, good quality valve must be selected to ensure good performance as valves may 'hammer' during start up, particularly in air cooled and/or multiple compressor systems. It is recommended that the valve be located after the properly designed discharge cone adaptor, preferably close to the condenser in the packaged system.
8. For outdoor installations, a weather-proof enclosure with vents is recommended to house the compressor.
NOTEThe compressor internal safety control settings are designed to provide protection for the compressor only. Designers MUST provide SYSTEM protection within their control design. DTC will not be responsible for system protection other than the compressor.
Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 45M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
9. Installation of staging valves are recommended on each compressor discharge line in the multiple compressor systems to aid the lag compressor startup.
10. It is recommended that a Load Balancing Valve (LBV) be installed to aid unloaded operation and lag compressor start-up in multiple-compressor systems.
11. The system control should not be designed based on pump down cycle. The system cannot be pumped down due to the surge characteristics of centrifugal compressors.
12. Use the table below for recommended minimum pipe sizes.
Properly tapered trumpets with smooth transitions must be used to connect the compressor flanges to the pipework.
The discharge line exit transition should not be at an angle greater than eight degrees inclusive. The suction line length should be straight for 1.5 times the pipe diameter before entry into the compressor.
13. In humid environments, the bell housing of the compressor should be insulated. A bell housing cover thermal insulator is available as an accessory.

Applications Manual
19.2 Economizer Option
Turbocor compressors use two stage centrifugal compression with interstage port availability. This feature provides advantages of capacity and efficiency improvement when an economizer is installed. The improvements in efficiency and capacity are a result of further subcooling of the liquid refrigerant. Two types of economizer arrangements can be used: subcooler or flashtank. See Figure 34 and Figure 35. Refrigerant must enter the compressor through the economizer port in a “gas” state. Care must be taken to ensure that no liquid enters the compressor.
To determine compressor capacity and efficiency, the economizer performance rating option is available in the Selection Software on the Customer Service and Support - Performance Tools section of the DTC web page (www.turbocor.com). The circuit must be properly designed to reflect the specified heat exchanger approach with minimized pressure drops across the liquid side and expansion side. Piping design, including expansion device selection and pipe sizing, should be in accordance with best practices.
NOTE
19.3 Motor/Electronics Cooling Requirements
To ensure sub-cooled liquid, it is important that the condenser is fitted with a sub-cooler (integrated or separate).
It is essential that compressor motor and power electronics cooling is available immediately at start up. The compressor motor cooling liquid feed line must be configured and located so that this occurs. Recommended minimum pipe size is 1/2” for all models. A larger size may be necessary in some situations such as systems with low subcooling on start or extended piping runs. A full flow filter / drier must be installed and a liquid sight glass must be installed adjacent to each compressor.
19.4 Electrical Requirements
1. Power is permanently connected to the compressor connection terminals. A line reactor must be connected in series with the compressor connection. The line reactor enclosure or box should be properly ventilated to avoid overheating.
2. DTC recommends the use of a properly selected surge suppressor on the power supply to the compressor in installations susceptible to lightning (refer to Figure 11).
3. Fast Acting fuses with an appropriate CAT and current rating must be supplied and fitted externally for the TT350, TG310, TT400, and TT500. Fuses should be sized for 1.25 times compressor FLA. Fuses are fitted standard with the TT300.
4. 3 phase power wiring between the compressor and the line reactor must be either a fully shielded and sheathed type or carried in a properly grounded metal conduit.
NOTES• Sub-cooled liquid must be fed to the motor/electronics cooling port of the compressor.
• It must be solid liquid with a minimum of 6° F (3.5°C) sub cooled at the connection point to the motor/electronics cooling port of the compressor.
Filter dryer, sight glass and service valve must be fitted in the motor-cooling liquid line.
Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 47M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
19.5 Application-Specific Requirements
19.5.1 Medium Evaporating Temperature Application (TT300)
1. Check the operating envelope for limits, required compressor version, and accessories.
2. For medium-temperature applications, an evaporator pressure regulating valve must be installed external to the compressor between the main suction line and the motor/electronics cooling outlet port adjacent to the inter stage port. The recommended valve is Sporlan ORIT-10 7/8”, set at 200 kPa (30 psi) for R134a. The motor/electronics cooling outlet port is fitted with a 5/8” flare adapter.
19.5.2 Air-Cooled Systems/Chillers
For best and most efficient performance at low ambient conditions, it is strongly recommended that EXVs be utilized as expansion devices and VSD control of some or all condenser fans is used. In any event, rapid cycling of condenser fans is to be avoided.
Internal controls will limit compressor speed if compressor choke is encountered, particularly during start up where pressure ratio is low. It may be necessary to raise condensing pressure to allow the compressor to speed up. In any event, the pressure ratio should be raised above 1.5 at start-up and should not drop below 1.3 during operation with the evaporator at design temperature.
Careful consideration must be given to compressor selection when applied in air cooled chillers. Pressure ratio lift requirements at high ambient temperatures will reduce the compressor's ability to unload. The minimum unloaded speed will be higher due to surge.
NOTEMedium Evaporating Temperature is defined as between 0 and -10 degrees C (between 32 and 14 degrees F).
NOTEIn air-cooled systems/chillers, a staging valve must be installed with each compressor.

Applications Manual
19.5.3 Inverted Start
Inverted Start, commonly called “Monday Morning Start Up”, can be a situation containing a high evaporation load (high building heat inertia). This inertia may lead to compressor capacity limitations due to choke at low pressure ratio. See Figure 31.
Figure 31 Centrifugal Performance Dynamics
This performance chart (Figure 31) is representative of a maximum capacity curve that you would see with Turbocor centrifugal compressors. At point A, a low pressure ratio due to high evaporator load conditions, such as hot building start-up, can limit the maximum capacity of the centrifugal compressor.
If more capacity is desired, it is advisable to raise the discharge pressure temporarily to increase the pressure ratio (point B) until the sensible heat in the building is dissipated.
19.5.4 Multiple Compressors on Common Circuit UsingOne Evaporator and One Condenser
1. Motor-cooling liquid should be fed from the common liquid line before the main LLSV. Follow the instructions in Section 19.2.
2. It is recommended to apply similar, or ideally the same, suction and discharge piping layout and size for all individual compressors.
3. Each compressor must have a positive sealing check valve fitted in its discharge line. This valve should be sized for minimum pressure drop (<7kpa [1 psi]) at full load and low 'crack open' pressure.
4. Where multiple compressors are to be connected to a single port on evaporator and condenser shells, header manifold pipe work must be fabricated. These manifolds must be sized and configured for minimum full load pressure drop and ensuring maximum flow balance between compressors. Suction and condenser line connection to header manifolds should be from/to the top.
5. A special control algorithm is required if multiple compressors are to be installed in parallel on a single circuit.
Danfoss Turbocor Compressors Inc. 49M-AP-001-EN Rev. J
6. During the compressor staging process, to get the lag compressor online, the system pressure ratio should be below a maximum level of 2.4.
7. Staging valves are required for staging lag compressors. The take-off point from the discharge line should be upstream of the non-return valve.
8. The maximum start-up pressure ratio is about 2.4. If the pressure ratio is higher than 2.4, an LBV is required to reduce the pressure ratio before starting the compressor.
NOTE
19.5.5 Packaged Air-Side With DX-Type Evaporator and Multiple Evaporator Coils
1. Each evaporator must be controlled by an independent EXV, using its outlet header for superheat control reference. Common suction temperature or pressure should not be used for individual evaporator superheat control reference points,
2. Each evaporator liquid line should be equipped with a solenoid valve.
3. Connection of a generously-sized header to the suction line of the evaporators is recommended to minimize pressure-drop differences.
4. It is recommended to install a suction line accumulator.
5. Motor-cooling liquid should be fed from the common liquid line Follow the instructions in Section 19.2.
