Appendix 2: Basic Points of Design and Manufacturing for   
 the Compressors Multi- package 
2-1   Preface 
In  previous Chapter Appendix 1 "Basic Points of Design and Manufacturing for the Compressor 
Package", we have introduced the basic packaging instructions using i-series compressor.   
Our  i-series compressor models have achieved simplification of the package by adopting the fully 
differential  pressure oil  supply method that does not require the oil pump for lubrication of the 
compressor.  In addition, i-series compressor  models  can be used for  various package types by 
adopting different systems and applications.   
As major package types, it has been widely adopted that there are general basic packages of the 
monocoque type with the compressor mounted on the horizontal oil separator, and the large scale 
system packages such as multiple operation, chiller packages or the like. 
In addition, according to the requests for adopting systems and/or applications, multi-packaging is also 
available that shares the oil separator and the oil cooler. 
In this Chapter Appendix 2, we will introduce the basic points of design and manufacturing for the 
multiple packaged  unit.  When you need  to increase the refrigeration capacity by using plural 
compressors, or to design the refrigeration package for the applications that require capacity control by 
controlling the number of compressors, you can refer to the instructions here.     
In the same way as the single compressor packages require, refrigerators also change according to 
the local regulatory and customer’s specifications. Comply with the required regulations and 
specification when designing the package.

Representative Flow of Multi-package 
Figure app.2-1 indicates the reference flow of the package with three parallel compressors.   
As a representative example, the package in Figure app.2-1 is adopting the shell and tube type water 
cooled oil cooler and vertical coalesce type oil separator. It has also set the prerequisites that the 
capacity control by limiting the number of compressors is required, which means some compressors 
are not in use during the operation.   
The multi-package flow changes depending on the requested system and applications.
