1. General The SHL & SHM series of screw compressors from Copeland once again set the standards in technology and performance. This advanced series is the result of intensive research based on many years experience manufacturing small and medium capacity screw compressors. Features: High capacity and efficiency due to - Unique rotor design - High motor efficiency - Ease of economized operation - Automatic Vi Control - Precise machining process Simple and robust design and construction Oversized bearings Efficient capacity control (unloaded start) Integrated discharge check valve Internal pressure relief valve ESC 200 electronic control module Motor protection device Discharge gas temperature protection Electronic oil flow switch Fine mesh oil filter (10 ) Compatible with R22, R134a, R404A and R507 - Other refrigerants upon request Low noise and vibration levels Small installed space requirement Complete line of accessories (E.I. oil separators, oil filters etc.)

The compressor is driven by a three-phase asynchronous motor that is build into the extended compressor housing. The motor rotor is located on the shaft of the male screw rotor. Cooling is achieved by cold refrigerant vapor that mainly flows across the motor rotor, in addition to providing cooling, this design also functions simultaneously as a centrifugal liquid separator.

2. Design and Function 2.1 Construction Features

The Contour screw compressors are of two-shaft rotary displacement design with specifically developed profile geometry (lobe ratio 5:6 or 5:7). The main parts of these compressors are the two rotors (male and female) which are fitted into a closed housing. The rotors are precisely located at both ends by roller bearings (radial and axial) which, in conjunction with the generously sized oil supply chambers, provides optimum operating characteristics. Owing to the specific design this type of compressor does not require any working valves. To protect against reverse running when the compressor is switched off (expansion operation) a check valve is incorporated in the discharge chamber (this valve does not however replace any check valves required by the system design). Internal differential pressure relief valves are fitted as over pressure protection.

Motor Protective Device 2.2 Compression Procedure - Automatic VI Control The compression in a screw compressor takes place in one direction (linear compression). The meshing rotors enclose a working space whose volume is continuously reduced as it moves in the axial direction. Refrigerant vapor is drawn in on the suction side and subsequently compressed by the meshing action of the rotors in the enclosed working volume. As soon as this working volume is opened to the discharge port, the vapor is discharged to the high-pressure side and flows to the oil separator.

Caution: Screw compressors may only be operated in one direction of rotation (reverse rotation will cause severe damage)! The very small gap (a few ) between the rotors themselves and the housing is dynamically sealed with oil, the oil is directly injected into the profile spaces, and to the roller bearings. The size and geometry of the discharge port determine the so-called built-in volume ration (Vi) of the compressor. This ratio must be in a defined relationship to the operating pressure ratio in order to avoid losses in efficiency due to over or under compression. For this reason screw compressors are manufactured with different discharge port configurations specific to the application. With the Contour semi hermetic screw compressors a newly developed system for fully automatic Vi-control has been incorporated. The discharge port is automatically optimized for the nominal operating conditions (pressure ratio). With a lower pressure ratio in the system a part of the compressed gas flows directly to the discharge chamber via a valve mechanism in the rotor housing (by-passing the discharge port). The flow volume remaining in the profiles is thus reduced, the corresponding pressure is reduced and over compression is avoided. This self-regulating system achieves a high efficiency over a wide application range.

2.3 Capacity Control / Start Unloading For the Contour Screw Compressors a new form of regulating system has been developed. The basic principle corresponds to that of a control slide of large industrial compressors, a part of the transported vapor flows back to the suction side of the rotor chamber. In contrast to larger capacity compressors the control unit is designed so that it does not reduce the stability of the compressor housing. The gap between the rotors and the housing thus remains within tight tolerances, even with high operating temperatures and pressures. This is an important stage of development and ensures good overall efficiency of smaller screw compressors, due to the higher precision and tolerance demands.

Figure 3 Capacity Control System Details The control system consists of hydraulically activated pistons for the male and female rotor, which are flush with the end wall/housing during full load operation. The same efficiencies/characteristics are therefore guaranteed as with a compressor without capacity control. Typical losses as with slider systems are avoided. During part load operation the pistons move to the rear position and open generously sized ports to the suction side. A portion of the volume of gas compressed is thereby transported back to the suction side. The system is designed for 3 stages of regulation (100, 75, & 50 %). By the use of intermittent switching an almost stepless characteristic can be achieved. Control Control is accomplished electrically via the solenoid valves located on the discharge flange.

It is only necessary to mount the complete unit correctly and to make the electrical and pipe connections. The compressor must be installed horizontally. The use of anti-vibration mounting pads is recommended to reduce the transmission of noise or vibrations. The anti-vibration mounting pads are packed separately from the compressor.

Figure 4c Location of Capacity Control Solenoids SHM2 3000, 3500, 4000 SHL2 2000, 2500, 3000

With direct mounting on water-cooled condensers the use of anti-vibration mounting is essential in order to prevent possible stress fracturing of the heat exchanger tubes. The installation of the anti-vibration mounting pads is shown in Figure 5. The bolts should only be tightened so that deformation of the upper rubber disc is just visible.

compressor. The oil is then transported together with the refrigerant vapor in the direction of compression, where in addition to lubrication it also forms a dynamic seal between the rotors and the compressor housing and the rotors, to the separator/reservoir. The oil and vapor are separated in the upper portion of this vessel. The oil flow downward to the reservoir section of the vessel where it again flow to the compressor. The vapor exits the top of the vessel and flow to the condenser. Depending on operating conditions the circulating oil will need to be cooled in an oil cooler. Under certain conditions direct refrigerant injection can be used to achieve the required oil cooling. The standard accessory kit of the Contour Screw compressor includes the necessary items for the oil injection line (oil filter, oil flow switch, oil solenoid valve, sight glass and misc. fittings). In addition a line of oil separators is also available. Oil cooling by thermosyphon or Jet Kool principal is also available but require individual design and component selection.

2.5 Oil Circulation The compressor oil is obtained from the external oil separator that also serves as the oil reservoir. Due to the pressure difference between the separator/ reservoir and the injection point, an exactly measured quantity of oil is injected into the compression chamber and the bearings of the

Figure 7c Thermosyphon oil cooling General Recommendations for Oil Coolers The oil cooler should be installed in close proximity to the compressor. The piping should be designed so that no vapor accumulations can occur and to eliminate the possibility of the oil charge draining back to the oil separator during shut down periods. Preferably the oil cooler should be located below the compressor/oil separator. Pressure drop on the oil side of the oil cooler should be less than 7 psig during normal operation.

Figure 7d Direct refrigerant Injection oil cooling

The oil flow solenoid valve should be installed as close as possible to the compressor to limit the amount of oil draining to the compressor during shut down periods (eliminate the possibility of flooding the compressor with oil). A full port ball valve should be installed in the oil line after the oil cooler to facilitate servicing. The oil cooler must be thermostatically controlled (see table)

To facilitate the heating of the oil circuit and to reduce the pressure drop with cold oil an oil bypass (or possibly heating of the oil cooler during off cycle) is required under the following conditions: - When the oil temperature in the oil cooler can drop below 68F during a long off cycle. - When the volume of oil in the oil cooler and associated piping is greater than 7 gal.

Note: The oil bypass valve should have a modulating control function. The use of solenoid valves (intermittent control) requires a control thermostat with high sensitivity and minimum switching differential (temperature fluctuation) of 20. Water Cooled Oil Cooler Temperature control by the use of a thermostatic water regulator (temperature range up to 212F) is recommended. Air Cooled Oil Cooler Temperature control by the use of a thermostatic switch to turn on and off cooler fans or stepless speed control of the fan motors is recommended (temperature range up to 212F). Direct Refrigerant Injection This method of oil cooling is limited to an oil cooling capacity (oil cooler load) that equivalent

to 10% of the compressors refrigerating capacity due to the dilution of the oil at higher injection ratios. Only specially designed expansion valves that regulate by discharge gas temperature are suitable (Danfoss TEAT20, Sporlan Y1037, Alco series 935) with a temperature setting of 195F. The sensing bulb must be installed on the discharge line approximately 8 inches from the compressor. The pipe should be cleaned to a bright metal and coated with heat transfer paste and held in place with pipe clamps. To ensure bubble free liquid to the expansion valve, the connection to the main liquid line should be in a horizontal run and slope down away from the main liquid line. Additional items required to be installed in the injection line include; solenoid valve (wired in parallel to the compressor motor), fine mesh filter and liquid sight glass.

Thermosyphon Cooling Design and technical information available on request for specific applications. 3. Lubricants In addition to lubrication oil also provides the dynamic sealing of the rotors. Special demands result from this with regard to viscosity, solubility and foaming characteristics. Only approved oils may therefore be used.

Important Considerations The operating limits of the compressors must be adhered to (refer to section 5.3). The lower limit value indicated for the discharge gas temperature shown is only a reference value. The discharge gas temperature must be at least 54F above the condensing temperature. The sensor of the oil cooler temperature controller must be installed on the discharge line of the compressor approximately 8 inches from the compressor. The thermostat or regulator should be adjusted to maintain an oil temperature that is 54F above the condensing temperature. Ester oils such as Solest 170 are extremely hygroscopic and careful handling is required. Moisture is chemically bonded with these oils and cannot, or only insignificantly, be removed by evacuation. Dispose of waste oil in an ecologically beneficial way (chloritic oil is pollutive waste). A revised design may be necessary for direct-expansion evaporators with finned tubes on the refrigerant side (consultation with cooler manufacturer).

compressors. Only the oil circuit will differ. Piping should be designed in compliance with accepted criteria especially in regard to flow velocities (oil return). The pipe layout and the system construction must be designed so that the compressor cannot be flooded with oil or liquid refrigerant during shutdown periods. A simple safeguard against this is to first pipe the discharge and suction lines downward from the compressor. As an additional precaution (also provides simple protection against liquid slugging during starting) for systems with direct expansion either a gooseneck after the evaporator or installation of the compressor above the level of the evaporator is required (not essential with pump down system). A solenoid valve should also be installed in the liquid line directly before the expansion valve. The use of flooded evaporators with HCFC/HFC refrigerants require a separate oil return from the evaporator or low pressure receiver. TH e bleed point (preferably several) should be located in the oil rich liquid phase. The oil should be returned to the suction of the compressor, but only after the liquid refrigerant has been evaporated. In systems with widely varying liquid levels, such as liquid over feed systems, a bleed point from the lowest point after the circulating pump should be used. Further Recommendations for Unit Construction and Pipe Layouts Due to the low level of vibration and discharge gas pulsation, the suction and discharge lines can usually be installed without flexible connections or mufflers. The piping must however be sufficiently flexible and must not exert any strain on the compressor. Pipe runs parallel to the compressor are preferred. The distance from the compressor axis should be kept as small as possible and the parallel section of piping should be at least as long as the compressor. An oil heater is installed in the sump section of the oil separator to prevent high concentrations of refrigerant diluting the oil during shutdown periods. An adjustable thermostat that should be set at approximately 160F. controls the heater. In addition, an off cycle by-pass that reduces the pressure in the oil separator to suction pressure and reduces the refrigerant saturation of the oil, can also be installed. An added benefit to this is to additional reduce the start loading of the compressor. A check valve after the oil separator, and a equalizing line, with a solenoid valve, between the oil separator and the suction of the compressor must be installed. The solenoid can only be opened when all the compressors in the system are off.

The above information is intended as a guide for general possible applications only. This information does not have the purpose of confirming certain oil characteristics or their suitability for a particular use. 3.2 Mixing Of Lubricants Oil Changes Different lubricants may not be mixed without agreement from Copeland Corp. Especially in the case of an oil change, this is however only necessary in exceptional cases for systems with screw compressors using HCFC and HFC refrigerants (acid formation, contaminated oil). 4. Incorporation into the Refrigeration Circuit Semi hermetic screw compressors, SHM/SHL series, can be used for all refrigeration systems from air conditioning to low temperature applications. The capacity range can be easily expanded due to the simple and economic Copeland compound technology. 4.1 General Design Recommendation / Pipe Layout The screw compressors can be incorporated into the system in a similar way to reciprocating

A generously sized good quality liquid line filter drier is required to provide the system with a high degree of dehydration and help maintain the chemical stability of the system. The installation of a suction filter (25 ) is recommended to protect the compressor from damage due to dirt or debris especially during the initial start of the system.

is recommended. A suction accumulator should be installed to protect against liquid slugging. To avoid increased oil carry-over, due to a rapid reduction of pressure in the oil separator, it is necessary to maintain the oil temperature is at least 54 to 72F above the condensing temperature, during the change over. In addition the installation of a pressure regulator directly after the oil separator is recommended to limit the reduction in pressure. Under certain circumstances it is also possible to stop the compressor shortly before the change over procedure and then to start it again after a pressure equalization has taken place. The compressor must be operating with the necessary minimum pressure differential within 30 seconds (see application limits, section 6.3). 4.3 Condenser Pressure Regulation

PC

Figure 8 Typical Application 4.2 Guide Lines for Special System Considerations In installations where the system is exposed to low ambient temperatures or the high pressure side is exposed to high temperatures (heat pumps), additional insulation of the oil separator is required. In systems where the where the compressor or the suction line/accumulator can reach a lower temperature than the evaporator a pump down cycle must be employed. For systems with multi-circuit condensers and/or evaporators additional safeguards are necessary. When individual circuits are turned off, liquid refrigerant will migrate to the evaporator/ condenser (temperature and pressure equalization is not possible), the installation of an additional check valve in the discharge line and an automatic sequential switching arrangement for the compressor are required. The same also applies for plants with individual circuits where temperature and pressure equalization cannot occur during long shutdown periods. In some cases it may be necessary to install a suction accumulator or utilize a pump down circuit. Systems with reverse cycling or hot gas defrost require individually designed safeguards to protect the compressor against liquid slugging and increased oil carry-over. In addition a complete system review
2000 Copeland Corporation Printed in U.S.A.

In order to guarantee consistent good quality oil supply to the compressor and to maintain oil separator efficiency a closely stepped or stepless condenser pressure regulation is required. Rapid depressurization of the oil separator can lead to excessive foaming, oil migration and possible shut down by the oil level sensor. Insufficient oil supply and corresponding shutdown can also occur with insufficient of delayed build up of condenser pressure. An additional pressure regulator in the discharge line, after the oil separator, may be necessary with the following operating conditions: Extreme part load conditions and/or long shut down periods with outdoor installation of the condenser in low ambient areas. High suction pressure during start up in conjunction with low temperatures of the heat transfer fluid on the high-pressure side, critical start conditions. Hot gas defrost, reverse cycle operation. Booster applications, low pressure differention from suction to discharge.

4.4 Start Unloading Due to the compression characteristics of screw compressors, high suction pressure during start up can lead to high mechanical loading and insufficient oil supply. Effective unloading is therefore necessary. In addition, compressors of this size and capacity usually require a means to reduce the starting current, such as part winding starting. Start unloading can be achieved by the following methods:
9

Integrated start unloading, see section 2.3. Standard on all SHM & SHL compressors.

Copeland 4-1309

Limited start unloading is possible by the use of an off cycle by-pass, see General Recommendations section 4.1, with low temperature operation in conjunction with a pressure limiting TX-valve or a crankcase pressure regulator. This method is however limited to single compressor systems of specifically designed parallel compressor systems.

4.6 Parallel operation The Copeland Contour SHM & SHL series compressors are particularly suitable for parallel operation due to the use of the external oil separator/receiver. Important advantages of the Copeland Contour compound technology: Extension to the limited capacity provided by a single compressor, up to six (6) compressors can be compounded. Compounding compressors of similar or differing capacities. Possible to compound systems with differing suction temperatures. Extended capacity regulation. Simple oil distribution with single oil separator/ receiver. Higher degree of operational safety, not dependent on a single compressor. Simple and economical installation.

NOTE: An external start unloading bypass as is typically used with reciprocating compressors cannot be utilized with screw compressors due to possible damage of the compressor. 4.5 Capacity Regulation The requirement for capacity regulation is dependent on the system design and requirements. The following methods are available: Integrated capacity regulation, see section 2.3. Standard on all SHM & SHL compressors Frequency Inverter Parallel operation, see section 4.6, possibly combined with any of the above methods.

Oil separators and other accessories are available that allow up to six (6) compressors in a single circuit.

Economizing can be accomplished by either utilizing a subcooling circuit or two stage refrigerant expansion. This mode of operation increases the refrigeration capacity as well as the ef ficiency of the system. The higher the compression ratios the greater the benefits of this mode of operation will be. 4.8 Two-Stage Systems Although screw compressors can be efficiently used with high compression ratios, there are a number of applications where two-stage compression can be beneficial.
