Application Guidelines Inverter compressors Single compressors

Compressor size Inverter technology offers more flexibility
in compressor selection than fixed-speed
compressors. Selection of the right inverter
compressor size can be made by different
methods:
1. Maximum cooling capacity: Select a
compressor size which achieves the peak load
system cooling capacity demand at its maximum
speed.
2. Nominal cooling capacity: Select a compressor
size which achieves the nominal system cooling
capacity at a rotational speed of 3600 - 4500 rpm
(60-75 rps).
3. Best Seasonal Efficiency Ratio: Select a
compressor size which achieves the minimum
system cooling demand at its minimum speed.
Ensure that the compressor is able to cover the
peak load system cooling capacity. This selection
makes the compressor run for a maximum time at
part load where the system efficiency is highest.
Performance tables at three speeds can be found
in the following pages. Detailed performances
can be found in datasheets and in selection
programs.

Frequency converter Different frequency converter variants are 3. RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) class H4
variants available according to: 4. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) coated
1. Mains supply voltage
2. IP class (CDS803 drives are available in IP20 or
IP21 (requiring additional kit) housings)

Compressor functions management

Oil return management Oil return management function only works
under auto mode: After running at low rpm
(less than 40 rps) for 19 minutes, the internal
lubrication algorithm in the drive will accelerate
the compressor speed to 40 rps or above for
60 seconds to ensure sufficient lubrication of
compressor moving parts.
Warning:
This function is enabled by parameter 28-10 as
default setting. Please notice when hands on
mode is selected, oil return management will
not work even if parameter 28-10 (oil return
management) is set to on. If compressors run
below 40 rps for more than 19 minutes, oil return
fault alarm (A208) will report on LCP and stop
the compressor. Please select hands on mode
carefully and only select hands on mode if the
OEM has implemented oil return management
in the system controller and qualified oil
management. Under such conditions, the
compressor could run below 40 rps continually
and meanwhile disable drive oil return
management 28-10.

Bearings lubrication A specific oil pump ensures optimal bearing at low speeds as well as to avoid excessive Oil
lubrication at all compressor speeds. The specific Circulation Ratio (OCR) at high speeds.
oil pump provides sufficient bearing lubrication

Fuses Danfoss recommends using the fuses listed
below to protect service personnel and property
in case of component break-down in the

For circuit breakers, Moeller types have been
tested and are recommended. Other types of

Note: 1.The wire size here is the guideline but not the actual cable required. The required cable size should be specified by the OEM
depending on the unit design, ambient temperature, the wire material, current, etc.
2.For VZH044-J model could use 6 mm² (10 AWG ) wire but Max operating current percentage need to change to 108% instead of
default 115%, with this change customer could simplify power cable model and save cost.

Wiring & EMC protection The motor compressor power supply from
the CDS803 frequency converter to the VZH
compressor must be done with a braided
screened/shielded cable. This cable needs to
have its screen/shielding conduit connected to
earth on both ends. Avoid terminating this cable
connection with twisting ends (pigtails) because
that would result in an antenna phenomenon
and decrease the effectiveness of the cable.
Control cables to the CDS803 frequency
converter must use the same installation
principles as the motor power supply cable.
Physical installation of the frequency converter
on the mounting plate must ensure good
electrical contact between the mounting plate
and the metal chassis of the converter. Use star-
washers and galvanically conductive installation
plates to secure good electrical connections.
Refer to instructions MG18N102 for tightening
torques and screw sizes.
Note that the CDS803 must be mounted on a
plain wall to ensure a good air flow through its
heat exchanger.

The motor compressor cable must be installed in

a conduit separated from the control and mains
cables.

Motor protection VZH scroll compressors are not equipped with
an internal motor protector. Motor protection
is provided by the variable speed drive. All
parameters are factory preset in order to
guaranty locked rotor or overload current
protection.
When a warning situation is reached in the
current control, the CDS803 frequency converter
will automatically reduce the compressor
speed in order to keep the motor current of the
compressor below the maximum allowed.

Anti-reverse protection In some cases when compressors stop under
low mass flow low speed condition, discharge
valve may not seal discharge port fast enough,
thus compressors may run in a reverse rotation
due to the residual pressure difference and
generate a big noise. Running in the wrong
direction will reduce the reliability and lifetime
of the compressor. The drive shall prevent the
compressors scroll set from running the wrong
way during stop with anti reverse protection.
To activate the function, the customer must be
able to enable and disable the ANTI-REVERSE

Application Guidelines System design recommendations
Essential piping design The working pressure in systems with R410A is
considerations about 60% higher than in systems with R22 or
R407C. Consequently, all system components and
piping must be designed for this higher pressure
level.
Proper piping practices should be employed to
ensure adequate oil return, even under minimum
load conditions with special consideration given
to the size and slope of the tubing coming
from the evaporator. Tubing returns from the
evaporator should be designed so as not to trap
oil and to prevent oil and refrigerant migration
back to the compressor during off-cycles.
In systems with R410A, the refrigerant mass
flow will be lower compared to R22/R407C
systems. To maintain acceptable pressure
drops and acceptable minimum gas velocities,
Piping should be designed with adequate
three-dimensional flexibility. It should not be in
contact with the surrounding structure, unless
a proper tubing mount has been installed.
This protection proves necessary to avoid
excess vibration, which can ultimately result in
connection or tube failure due to fatigue or wear
Suction lines If the evaporator lies above the compressor, as
is often the case in split or remote condenser
systems, the addition of a pump-down cycle
is strongly recommended. If a pump-down
cycle were to be omitted, the suction line must
have a loop at the evaporator outlet to prevent
refrigerant from draining into the compressor
during off-cycles.
If the evaporator were situated below the
compressor, the suction riser must be trapped so
as to prevent liquid refrigerant from collecting at
the outlet of the evaporator while the system is
idle, which would mislead the expansion valve’s
sensor (thermal bulb) at start-up.
Discharge lines When the condenser is mounted at a higher
position than the compressor, a suitably sized
U-shaped trap close to the compressor is
necessary to prevent oil leaving the compressor
from draining back to the discharge side of the
compressor during off cycle. The upper loop also
helps avoid condensed liquid refrigerant from
draining back to the compressor when stopped.
For inverter applications with long lines we
recommend the use of an oil separator even if it
is only the condenser which is far away from the
unit.
Piping must also be designed with care in order
to make sure the remaining oil not trapped by
the oil separator is properly carried over the
system.
Basic principal is shown here. Note that for the
discharge line, following the same principle
as for the suction line with a U-trap every 4 m
Single compressors
the refrigerant piping must be reduced in size
compared to R22 / R407C systems. Take care
also to not create overly high pressure drops
as in R410A systems the negative impact of
high pressure drops on the system efficiency is
stronger than in R22/R407C systems.
The design in this guideline is for short circuit
application. However, for long circuit and split
system application, an oil separator and an
external non-return valve are recommended for
use based on system qualification status.

feature in the compressor functions in order

 Application Guidelines System design recommendations
Heat exchangers To obtain optimum efficiency of the complete
refrigerant system, optimized R410A heat
exchangers must be used. R410A refrigerant has
good heat transfer properties: it is worthwhile
designing specific heat exchangers to gain in size
and efficiency.
An evaporator with an optimized R410A
distributor and circuit will give correct superheat
at outlet and optimal use of the exchange
surface. This is critical for plate evaporators that
generally have a shorter circuit and a lower
volume than shell & tubes and air cooled coils.
For all evaporator types, special care is required
for superheat control leaving the evaporator and
oil return.
Refrigerant charge limits VZH compressors can tolerate liquid refrigerant
up to a certain extend without major problems.
However, excessive liquid refrigerant in the
compressor is always unfavorable for service life.
Besides, the installation cooling capacity may
be reduced because of the evaporation taking
place in the compressor and/or the suction line
instead of the evaporator. System design must be
such that the amount of liquid refrigerant in the
compressor is limited. In this respect, follow the
guidelines given in the section: “Essential piping
design recommendations” as a priority.
Off-cycle migration Liquid refrigerant can find its way into the
compressor by means of off-cycle migration or
liquid floodback during operation.
Off-cycle refrigerant migration is likely to occur
when the compressor is located at the coldest
part of the installation, when the system uses
a bleed-type expansion device, or if liquid is
allowed to migrate from the evaporator into
the compressor sump by gravity. If too much
liquid refrigerant accumulates in the sump it
will saturate the oil and lead to a flooded start:
when the compressor starts running again, the
refrigerant evaporates abruptly under the sudden
decrease of the bottom shell pressure, causing
the oil to foam. In extreme situations, this might
result in liquid slugging (liquid entering the scroll
30 FRCC.PC.034.A3.02
Single compressors
A sub-cooler circuit in the condenser that creates
high sub-cooling will increase efficiency at
high condensing pressure. In R410A systems
the positive effect of sub-cooling on system
efficiency will be significantly larger than in R22/
R407C systems.
Furthermore, for good operation of the
expansion device and to maintain good
efficiency in the evaporator it is important to
have an adequate liquid sub-cooling. Without
adequate sub-cooling, flash gas will be formed at
the expansion device resulting in a high degree
of vapor at the evaporator inlet leading to low
efficiency.
If the refrigerant charge exceeds the values
in table below, a suction line accumulator is
strongly recommended.

elements), which must be avoided as it causes
irreversible damage to the compressor.
The presence of liquid in the crankcase can be
easily detected by checking the sump level
through the oil sight glass. Foam in the oil sump
indicates a flooded start.
VZH scroll compressors can tolerate occasional
flooded starts as long as the total system charge
does not exceed the maximum compressor
refrigerant charge limit.
Off-cycle migration can be prevented by
implementing a crankcase heating or adding a
pump-down cycle to the operation cycle and a
liquid line solenoid valve.

Pump-down cycle: A pump-down cycle
represents one of the most effective ways to
protect against the off-cycle migration of liquid
refrigerant. Once the system has reached its set
point and is about to shut off, the LLSV on the

pumps the majority of the refrigerant charge into
the condenser and receiver before the system
stops on the low pressure pump-down switch.
This step reduces the amount of charge on the

Specific application recommendations
Under cold ambient conditions, upon start-up
the pressure in the condenser may be so low
that a sufficient pressure differential across
the expansion device cannot be developed to
properly feed the evaporator. As a result, the
compressor may go into abnormal low suction
pressure, which can lead to compressor failure.
Under no circumstances should the compressor
be allowed to operate under vacuum. The low-
pressure control must be set in accordance with
Several possible solutions are available to prevent
the compressor from drawing down to a vacuum
upon start-up under low ambient conditions.
In air-cooled machines, cycling the fans with
a head pressure controller will ensure that the
fans remain off until the condensing pressure
has reached a satisfactory level. In water-cooled
units, the same can be performed using a water
regulator valve that is also operated by head
pressure, thereby ensuring that the water valve
does not open until the condensing pressure
reaches a satisfactory level.
Note: The minimum condensing pressure must
be set at the minimum saturated condensing
temperature shown in the application envelopes.
A crankcase heating will minimize refrigerant
migration caused by the large temperature
gradient between the compressor and the
remainder of the system.
It is recommended that the unit is tested and
monitored at minimum load and, if possible,
during low ambient conditions as well. During
conditions of low load on the system, the
following considerations should be taken into
account to ensure proper system operating
characteristics.
Single compressors
the table section “Pressure settings” in order to
prevent this from happening.
Low pressure differentials can also cause the
expansion device to “hunt” erratically, which
might cause surging conditions within the
evaporator, with liquid spillover into the
compressor. This effect is most pronounced
during low load conditions, which frequently
occur during low ambient conditions.
Under very low ambient conditions, in which
testing has revealed that the above procedures
might not ensure satisfactory condensing and
suction pressures, the use of a liquid receiver
with condenser and receiver pressure regulators
would be possible.
Condensing pressure control is also strongly
recommended to improve any system efficiency.
The most accurate value is to control the
condensing temperature at 12 K above the
ambient temperature for air cooled condensers.
For further information, please contact Danfoss
Technical support.
Belt type crankcase heaters can be used, see
section "Accessory". They can be connected to
CDS803 relay 1 or 2.
• The superheat setting of the expansion
device should be sufficient to ensure proper
superheat levels during low loading periods. 5
to 6 K stable superheat is required. In addition,
the refrigerant charge should be sufficient
to ensure proper sub-cooling within the
condenser so as to avoid the risk of flashing in
the liquid line before the expansion device. The
expansion device should be sized to ensure
proper control of the refrigerant flow into the
evaporator.
Application Guidelines Specific application recommendations
An oversized valve may result in erratic control.
This can lead to liquid refrigerant entering the
compressor if the expansion valve does not
provide stable refrigerant super-heat control
under varying loads.
• Condenser fans should be cycled in such a
way that the minimum pressure differential is
maintained between the suction and discharge
pressures. Inverter fans can also be used to
control the amount of heat to be removed from
the condenser.
Brazed plate heat A brazed plate heat exchanger needs very little
exchangers internal volume to satisfy the set of heat transfer
requirements. Consequently, the heat exchanger
offers very little internal volume for the
compressor to draw vapor from on the suction
side. The compressor can then quickly enter into
a vacuum condition. It is therefore important
that the expansion device be sized correctly
and that a sufficient pressure differential across
the expansion device be available to ensure
adequate refrigerant feed into the evaporator.
This aspect is of special concern when operating
the unit under low ambient and load conditions.
For further information on these conditions,
please refer to the previous sections.
Due to the small volume of the brazed plate heat
exchanger, no pump-down cycle is normally
required.
Reversible heat pump Transients are likely to occur in reversible heat
systems pump systems, i.e. a changeover cycle from
cooling to heating, defrost or low-load short
cycles. These transient modes of operation
may lead to liquid refrigerant carry-over (or
flood-back) or excessively wet refrigerant return
conditions. As such, reversible cycle applications
require specific precautions in order to ensure a
long compressor life and satisfactory operational
function. Compressors need to run at least
Discharge temperature Heat pumps frequently utilize high condensing
monitoring temperatures in order to achieve a sufficient
temperature rise in the medium being heated.
At the same time, they often require low
evaporating pressures to obtain sufficient
temperature differentials between the evaporator
and the outside temperature. This situation
may result in high discharge temperature; as
such, it is mandatory that a discharge gas safety
control is included to protect the compressor
Single compressors
• The compressors should be run for a
minimum period in order to ensure that the
oil has sufficient time to properly return to
the compressor sump and that the motor has
sufficient time to cool under conditions of
lowest refrigerant mass flows.
Refer to section “Oil return management
function”.
The suction line running from the heat exchanger
to the compressor must be trapped to avoid
refrigerant migration to the compressor.
When using a brazed plate condenser heat
exchanger, a sufficient free volume for the
discharge gas to accumulate is required in order
to avoid excess pressure build-up. At least 1
meter of discharge line is necessary to generate
this volume. To help reduce the gas volume
immediately after start-up even further, the
supply of cooling water to the heat exchanger
may be opened before the compressor starts
up so as to remove superheat and condense the
incoming discharge gas more quickly.
Because of the large compressor capacity
variation and VZH capability to run at low
condensing temperature an EXV (electronic
expansion valve) is mandatory.
1 minute at 50 rps each time after reverse.
Regardless of the refrigerant charge in the
system, specific tests for repetitive flood-back
are required to confirm whether or not a suction
accumulator needs to be installed. The following
considerations cover the most important issues
when dealing with common applications.
Each application design however should
be thoroughly tested to ensure acceptable
operating characteristics.

The VZH scroll compressor is a high volumetric
machine and, as such, can rapidly build up
pressure in the discharge line if gas in the line
becomes obstructed even for a very short period
of time which situation may occur with slow-
acting, reversing valves in heat pumps. Discharge
pressures exceeding the operating envelope may
result in nuisance high-pressure switch cutouts
and can generate excessive load on bearings and
motor.
To prevent such occurrences, it is important that
a 1-meter minimum discharge line length be
allowed between the compressor discharge port
and the reversing valve or any other restriction.
This gives sufficient free volume for the discharge
After the 4-way valve is moved to defrost
position, and in order to shorten the defrost
period, the compressor speed can be maintained
at 70 rps or higher speed during the defrost
period.
The use of a suction line accumulator is strongly
recommended in reversible-cycle applications.
This because of the possibility of a substantial
quantity of liquid refrigerant remaining in the
evaporator, which acts as a condenser during the
heating cycle.
This liquid refrigerant can then return to the
compressor, either flooding the sump with
refrigerant or as a dynamic liquid slug when
Apart from residual moisture in the system
after commissioning, water could also enter the
refrigeration circuit during operation. Water in

during the time it takes for the valve to change
position. At the same time, it is important that
the selection and sizing of the reversing or 4-way
valve ensure that the valve switches quickly
enough to prevent against too high discharge
pressure and nuisance high-pressure cutouts.
Check with the valve manufacturer for optimal
sizing and recommended mounting positions.
It is strongly recommended to reduce the
compressor speed to 25/30 rps before the 4-way
valve is moved from a position to another.
Refer also to high and low pressure protection.
When the compressor is started again each time,
compressor will run at 50 rps for at least 1 minute.

the cycle switches back to a defrost cycle or to
normal cooling operations.
Sustained and repeated liquid slugging and
floodback can seriously impair the oil’s ability to
lubricate the compressor bearings. This situation
can be observed in wet climates where it is
necessary to frequently defrost the outdoor
coil in an air source heat pump. In such cases a
suction accumulator becomes mandatory.
Corrosion: Materials in the system shall be safe to
use with water and protected against corrosion.
Freezing: When water freezes into ice its volume
expands which can damage heat exchanger
walls and cause leaks. During off periods water
inside heat exchangers could start freezing when
ambient temperature is lower than 0°C. During
on periods ice banking could occur when the
circuit is running continuously at too low load.
Both situations should be avoided by connecting
a pressure and thermostat switch in the safety
line.

Compressor sound For sound radiating from the compressor, the
radiation emission path is airborne and the sound waves
travel directly from the machine in all directions.
The VZH scroll compressor is designed to be
quiet and the frequency of the sound generated
is pushed into the higher ranges, which not only
are easier to reduce but also do not generate the
penetrating power of lower-frequency sound.

reducing the sound being transmitted to the
Mechanical vibrations Vibration isolation constitutes the primary
method for controlling structural vibration. VZH
scroll compressors are designed to produce
minimal vibration during operations. The use of

top-up runs up to 15 m, no additional oil is required. If
installation lines exceed 15 m, additional oil may
be needed. 1 or 2% of the total system refrigerant
charge (in kg) can be used to roughly define the

Application Guidelines General overview
Scope The application guideline describes the operating
characteristics, design features and application
requirements for hybrid manifolding of the
Danfoss HLH061- HLJ072 fixed speed compressor
and VZH035-044 inverter compressor in air
conditioning and heat pump applications.
To ensure proper parallel installation and running
conditions, the following recommendations must
be followed:
Benefits A parallel compressor installation refers to a
system of interconnected compressors with a
common suction line and common discharge
line. The technique of mounting compressors
in parallel is also called manifolding. The hybrid
manifolding in this application guideline refers to
manifolding of Danfoss inverter compressor (VZH
035-044) and fixed speed compressor (HLH061-
HLJ072), which has several benefits.
Capacity
Compressor n°1
VZH 15-100 Rps
A second reason for manifolding of inverter
compressor and fixed speed compressor is
improved part load efficiency. In the variable
speed+fixed speed parallel installation, the
system can run either only inverter compressor
at lower load or both inverter and fixed speed
compressors at higher load with fixed speed
compressor operating at 100% load. Therefore
the higher part load efficiency can be achieved.
Conventional fixed speed compressor unloading
Preliminary data
Manifold compressors
• It is essential to respect all instructions given
in these guidelines, the instruction leaflet
delivered with each compressor and the
Application Guidelines for single compressors.
• For additional system components related to
specific application requirements, the supplier
recommendations must always be respected.
The main reason is reduced operating cost
through greater control of capacity and power
consumption. This is achieved by both staggering
compressor switch-on sequences and regulating
speed of inverter compressor that allow the
parallel system to continuously match its power
with the capacity needed.
Compressor n°1
VZH 15-100 Rps
Compressor n°2
fixed speed HLH061-HLJ072
methods and manifolding of fixed speed
compressors impose a serious penalty for part
load efficiency, mainly at low load operation.
Third, the capacity of hybrid manifolding
system can be widely regulated ex. 8% to 100%.
The continuous capacity regulation allows for
accurate temperature control and comfort indoor
environment.

Application Guidelines System design recommendation
Electronic expansion With variable capacity systems, an electronic
valve expansion valve (EXV) is the mandatory solution
to handle refrigerant mass flow variations. Ramp
up and ramp-down settings, of both EXV and
compressor, must be done with great care. Ramp-
up of the EXV must be shorter than the ramp-up
of the compressor, to avoid any low pressure
operation on suction side of the compressor.
The EXV can also be opened, up to a certain
degree, before the start up of the compressor.
Ramp-down of the EXV must be longer than the
ramp-down of the compressor, also to avoid low
pressure operation (except with pump-down).
EXV should be closed, and remained closed,

load conditions with special consideration given
to the size and slope of the tubing coming

or maintained in a defined time period. In oil
boost mode, the inverter compressor will be
increased to a certain level and meanwhile the
fixed speed compressor keeps running regardless
of oil level. In addition to oil boost operation,
hybrid tandems also need to balance oil between
compressors when both compressors are running
to maintain proper oil levels. Oil balancing
in variable speed hybrids relies on the oil
equalization line, suction restrictors, organ pipe
and oil level switch to balance oil between the
two compressors. Please refer to oil management

omitted, the suction line should have a loop at
the evaporator outlet to prevent refrigerant from
draining into the compressor during off-cycles.
FRCC.PC.034.A3.02 53
 Application Guidelines System design recommendation
If the evaporator was situated below the
compressors, the suction riser must be trapped
so as to prevent liquid refrigerant from collecting
at the thermal bulb location (see fig 1).
When the condenser is mounted at a higher
position than the compressors, a suitably sized
“U”-shaped trap close to the compressors is
necessary to prevent oil leaving the compressor
from draining back to the discharge side of the
compressors during off cycle. The upper loop also
helps avoid liquid refrigerant from draining back
to the compressor when stopped (see fig 2).
Piping should be designed with adequate three-
dimensional flexibility. It should not be in contact
with the surrounding structure, unless a proper
tubing mount has been installed. This protection
proves necessary to avoid excess vibration, which
Cycle rate limit of H The system must be designed in a way that
compressors guarantees a minimum compressor running
time of 2 minutes so as to provide for sufficient
motor cooling after start-up along with proper
oil return. Note that the oil return may vary since

can ultimately result in connection or tube failure
due to fatigue or wear from abrasion. Aside from
tubing and connection damage, excess vibration
may be transmitted to the surrounding structure
and generate an unacceptable noise level within
that structure as well (for more information on
noise and vibration, see section "Sound and
vibration management" in Danfoss H scroll
compressors application guidelines).
The design in this guideline is for short circuit
application. But for long circuit and split system
application, oil separator is recommended to use
based on system qualification status.

Application Guidelines Installation and service Manifold compressors

Installation and service procedures for a parallel common rules. Please refer to the Application
system are similar to basic system installations. Guidelines for Danfoss H scroll compressors
The selection of additional system components (FRCC.PC.012) for detailed installation and service
for parallel installations follows the basic system procedures.

Handling Danfoss Commercial Compressors recommends

using the lift and handling devices, as shown in Spreader block Spreader bar
picture beside, and that the following procedure
be used to prevent damage.
• One lift ring is provided on each compressor.
Use all two rings.
• Maximum loads authorized per sling and for the Slings
hoist hook must not be lower than the weight
of the assembly.
• The minimum spreader bar length must be at
least equal to the centre distance between the
two compressors to prevent bending the frame.
• When lifting, use a spreader block between the
compressors to prevent any unit frame damage.
• When the tandem unit is already mounted
into an installation, never lift the complete Frame
installation by using the lift rings on the
compressors.

Compressor mounting A common base frame, rigid enough to support
the weight of the compressors, must be used for
installation. The common frame must always be
mounted on grommets to reduce transmission of
vibration to the floor. It is recommended to install
all control and safety devices on an independent
frame. These devices should be connected to the
common frame using flexible tubing. Suction
and discharge lines must have adequate three
dimensional flexibility. For parallel systems the
simplest means of acquiring this is by the use of
vibration absorbers. For details see compressors
mounting for each tandem arrangement.

spacer , included in the “tandem kit” reference
120Z**** (to be ordered with the compressors).
Because VZH is 7 mm smaller than H compressor
and in order to have the oil equalization
connection at the same level for both
compressors, an additional 7mm rigid spacer
 must be added under the VZH feet only for
composition of VZH hybrid tandem.

 Application Guidelines VZH035-VZH044 Manifold compressors

Restrictor Due to the difference of capacities of the

compressors, it is essential to equalise the
pressure of the sump. A restrictor is used in
suction line of fixed speed to well balance the or
low side pressure between inverter and fixed
speed compressors. The oil protection for
variable speed is achieved by oil level sensor.
