2.5 Configurations of the TTS/TGS/TTH/TGH Compressor Models
The compressor, motor, and power assemblies are packaged in design.
• • • CAUTION • • •
It is important to take all precautions to avoid refrigerant migration, especially on air-cooled units. If the compressor is filled with
liquid, there is a high risk of bearing damage, thus putting the compressor out of service. The compressor warranty will be voided
if the compressor is damaged due to refrigerant migration.

2.6 Compressor Module
This section provides a brief overview of the Compressor Module.
The Compressor Module is comprised of three (3) portions:
• Aerodynamics - The aerodynamics portion manages the refrigerant compression process from
the suction to the discharge including the inlet guide vane assembly.
• Motor - The motor portion contains a direct-drive, high-efficiency, permanent-magnet
synchronous motor powered by pulse-width-modulating (PWM) voltage supply. The high-speed
variable-frequency operation that affords high-speed efficiency, compactness and soft start
capability. Motor cooling is by liquid refrigerant injection.
• Electronics - The electronics is divided into two (2) sections: Power electronics located on the
top of the compressor including soft-start, DC-DC, Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR), capacitors,
and inverter. Control electronics located on the side of the compressor including: backplane,
BMCC, serial driver, and PWM.
