This series of compressor represents the result of fur-
ther development to provide a simplified and competi-
tively priced screw compressor. The Compact Screw
Compressors are designed with an integral oil separator
to facilitate installation, comparable with semi-hermetic
reciprocating compressors. A single electronic module,

2.1 Construction Features
The Contour screw compressors are of two-shaft ro-
tary 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.
chronous motor that is build into the extended com-
pressor 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 de-
sign also functions simultaneously as a centrifugal
liquid separator.
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 con-
tinuously 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.

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 va-
por flows back to the suction side of the rotor cham-
ber. 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 devel-

provided as a motor/compressor unit. It is only nec-
essary 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.
With direct mounting on water-cooled condensers
the use of anti-vibration mounting is essential in or-
der 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 tight-
ened so that deformation of the upper rubber disc is
just visible.

oil and refrigerant vapor are separated. The oil then
flows down to the reservoir section of the vessel
where it is then returned to the injection point.
Refrigerant injection may be required to further cool
the circulating oil depending on system operating con-
ditions (see section 4.3)
Monitoring the oil circuit
There are two basic ways to monitor the oil level,
depending on the type of refrigeration circuit
involved.
For short refrigeration circuits that do not employ
refrigerant injection for additional oil cooling and for
small volume systems with small refrigerant charges,
indirect monitoring of the oil can be employed. By
this method, the standard INT69VSY-II electronic
module monitors the discharge temperature and the
compressor is shut down by excessive discharge
temperature caused by insufficient oil.
For systems with refrigerant injection for additional
oil cooling and/or systems with greater refrigerant
charges, direct monitoring is accomplished by means
of an oil level control in the oil separator (optional
item, supplied separately).

Installation: First isolate the compressor electrically

2.5 Oil Circulation
The compressor oil is obtained from the integral oil
separator that also serves as the oil reservoir. Due
to the pressure difference between the separator/res-
ervoir and the injection point, an exactly measured
quantity of oil flows through a generously sized filter
and is injected into the compression chamber and
the bearings of the compressor. The oil is then trans-
ported together with the refrigerant vapor in the
direction of compression, where in addition to lubri-
cation it also forms a dynamic seal between the
rotors and the compressor housing and the rotors,
to the integral separator/reservoir. A highly efficient
separator (centrifugal and gravity separation) is
located in the upper section of the vessel where the

and mechanically and relieve the pressure Raise the
oil separator end and remove the seal plug, install
the oil level float with the float in the downward posi-
tion and tighten the nut. For recommended electri-
cal connection see wiring diagram.
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 charac-
teristics. Only approved oils may therefore be used.
Important Considerations
• The operating limits of the compressors must be ad-
hered 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 54°F
above the condensing temperature.
• Ester oils such as Solest 170 are extremely hygro-
scopic careful handling is required. Moisture is
chemically bonded with these oils and cannot, or
only insignificantly, be removed by evacuation. Dis-
pose 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 manufac-
turer).
The above information is intended as a guide for gen-
eral possible applications only. This information does not
have the purpose of confirming certain oil characteris-
tics or their suitability for a particular use.
3.1 Mixing Of Lubricants Oil Changes
Different lubricants may not be mixed without agree-
ment from Copeland Corp. Especially in the case of
an oil change, this is however only necessary in
exceptional cases for systems with screw compres-
sors using HCFC and HFC refrigerants (acid forma-
tion, contaminated oil).
4. Incorporation into the Refrigeration Circuit
Compact screw compressors are primarily intended for
use in factory assembled plants with low system vol-
umes and refrigerant charges such as chillers and air
conditioning systems. Their use in extended systems,
remotely installed condensers, is also possible, however
this requires additional considerations and an individual
review.
4.1 General Design Recommendation/Pipe
Layout
The screw compressors can be incorporated into
the system in a similar way to reciprocating com-
pressors. The pipe layout and the system construc-
tion must be designed so that the compressor can-

not be flooded with oil or liquid refrigerant during shut-
down 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 star ting) 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 expan-
sion valve.
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 usu-
ally be installed without flexible connections or muf-
flers. The piping must however be sufficiently flex-
ible and must not exert any strain on the compres-
sor. Pipe runs parallel to the compressor are pre-
ferred, 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 compres-
sor.
A self-regulating oil heating element should be
installed on the outer shell of the separator to pre-
vent high concentrations of refrigerant diluting the
oil during shutdown periods. Operation with low am-
bient temperatures or high system temperatures on
the discharge side, such as heat pumps, may re-
quire insulation of the oil separator.

A generously sized good quality 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 µ) is recom-
mended to protect the compressor from damage due
to dirt or debris especially during the initial start of
the system.
4.2 Guide Lines for Special System
Considerations
If the evaporator and/or the suction line can
become warmer than the compressor during shut-
down periods a “pump down” arrangement must be
utilized in addition to the oil heater.
For systems with multi-circuit condensers and/or
evaporators additional safeguards are necessary.
When individual circuits are turned off, liquid refrig-
erant will migrate to the evaporator/condenser (tem-
perature and pressure equalization is not possible),
the installation of an additional check valve in the dis-
charge 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 can-
not occur during long shutdown periods. In some
cases it may be necessary to install a suction accu-
mulator 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
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 main-
tain the oil temperature at least 54 to 72°F 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 circum-
stances 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 Additional Cooling by Direct Refrigerant Injection
Additional cooling is required for systems operating
with high condensing temperatures and/or low evapo-
rating temperatures, see application limits section 6.3.
A simple method to supply this additional cooling is
direct refrigerant injection into the existing economizer

connection on the compressor (identified by LI on the
dimensional drawing).
The following steps should be taken to ensure
reliable operation and to avoid dilution of the oil by
the additional refrigerant;
• Only specifically designed expansion valves
which react to discharge temperature are suit-
able (Danfos TEAT 20, Alco series 935-101-B,
Sporlan Y1037) with a temperature range 212 to
230°F. The sensing element should be installed
on the discharge line approximately 4 to 8 in. from
the discharge service valve. The contact point
should be cleaned to a bright metal appearance,
coated with heat transfer paste and the sensing
element firmly held in place with pipe clamps.
• To ensure a solid, bubble free, liquid supply to
the injection valve the supply line should be con-
nected to a horizontal section of liquid line below
the center line of the piping.
• Install the liquid injection valve 6 to 8 in. directly
above the LI connection on the compressor. Rig-
idly connect the liquid injection and solenoid valve
to the compressor to avoid vibration damage to
the tubing.
• The liquid injection valve required is calculated
by the compressor selection software, the most
extreme operating conditions expected are to be
used in this calculation:
– Lowest evaporating temperature
– Highest suction gas superheat and condens-
ing temperature
Additional valve selection considerations:
– Evaporator pressure at injection point;
