ow  and pressure drops (solenoid  valve, lter 
dryer, expansion valve, etc.), refrigerant charge.
  •   Low  refrigerant  charge:  The  correct  refrigerant 
charge is given by the liquid sight glass indication, 
the  condenser  delta T  in  relation to  the  refrige-
rant  pressure  tables  (pressure-temperature),  the 
superheat and the sub-cooling, etc. (if additional 
charge is deemed necessary, refer to section 8).
  •   Compressor  short  cycling:  The  number  of 
cycles shall never exceed 12 starts per hour.
12 - Maintenance
  Internal  pressure  and  surface  temperature 
are dangerous and may cause permanent injury.
Maintenance  operators  and  installers  require 
appropriate  skills  and  tools.  Tubing  and  com-
presssor  upper  shell  temperature  may  exceed 
100°C and can cause severe burns.
  Ensure  that  periodic  service  inspections  to 
ensure system reliability and as required by local 
regulations are performed.
To prevent system related compressor problems, 
following periodic maintenance is recommended:
  •   Verify that safety devices are operational and 
properly set.
  •   Ensure that the system is leak tight.
  •   Check the compressor current draw.
  •   Conrm that the system is operating in a way 
consistent  with  previous  maintenance  re-
cords and ambient conditions.
  •   Check  that all  electrical  connections  are still 
adequately fastened.
  •   Keep the compressor clean and verify the ab-
sence of rust and oxidation on the compres-
sor shell, tubes and electrical connections.
  •   Check  the  internal  temperature  of  the  fre-
quency converter on its display and the coo-
ling  air ow.
  •   Faults are logged in the frequency converter 
memory and can be displayed. This can help 
to  evaluate  and  improve  parameters  of  the 
frequency converter or of the system itself.
13 - Warranty
Always  transmit  the  model  number  and  serial 
number  with  any  claim  led  regarding  this  pro-
duct.
Use the fault memory of the frequency conver-
ter to  recover the  fault  descriptions before ini-
tializing the system and even before shutting o 
the power.
The product warranty may be void in following 
cases:
  •   Absence of nameplate.
  •   External  modications;  in  particular, drilling, 
welding, broken feet and shock marks.
  •   Compressor opened or returned unsealed.
  •   Rust,  water  or  leak  detection  dye inside  the 
compressor.
  •   Use of a refrigerant or lubricant not approved 
by Danfoss.
  •   Any  deviation  from  recommended  instruc-
tions pertaining to installation, application or 
maintenance.
  •   Use in mobile applications.
  •   Use in explosive atmospheric environment.
  •   No model number or serial number transmit-
ted with the warranty claim. 
14 – Disposal
Danfoss  recommends  that  compressors, 
frequency converters and compressor oil 
should be recycled by a suitable company.
