Installation
Maximum inclination from the vertical plane
while operating must not exceed 3 degrees.
All compressors come delivered with four rubber
mounting grommets and metal sleeve liners that
serve to isolate the compressor from the base
frame. These grommets must always be used to
mount the compressor in single application.
These grommets attenuate to a great extent the
transmission of compressor vibrations to the
base frame. The grommets must be compressed
until contact between the flat washer and the
steel-mounting sleeve is established.
Each Danfoss SM / SY / SZ scroll compressor is
equipped with two lift rings on the top shell.
Always use both these rings when lifting the
compressor. Use lifting equipment rated and
certified for the weight of the compressor.
A spreader bar rated for the weight of the
compressor is highly recommended to ensure a
better load distribution. The use of lifting hooks
closed with a clasp and certified to lift the weight
of the compressor is also highly recommended.
Always respect the appropriate rules concerning
lifting objects of the type and weight of these
compressors. Maintain the compressor in an
upright position during all handling manoeuvres
(maximum of 15° from vertical).
Never use only one lifting lug to lift the
compressor. The compressor is too heavy for the
single lug to handle, and the risk is run that the
lug could separate from the compressor with
extensive damage and possible personal injury
as a result.
Store the compressor not exposed to rain,
corrosive or flammable atmosphere between
-31°F and 122°F when charged with refrigerant
and between -31°F and 158°F when charged with
nitrogen.
When the compressor is mounted as part
of an installation, never use the lift rings on the
compressor to lift the installation. The risk is run
that the lugs could separate from the compressor
or that the compressor could separate from the
base frame with extensive damage and possible
personal injury as a result.
Never apply force to the terminal box with the
intention of moving the compressor, as the
force placed upon the terminal box can cause
extensive damage to both the box and the
components contained inside.
Each SM / SY / SZ compressor is shipped with
printed Instructions for installation. These
instructions can also be downloaded from our
