 The compressor must only be used for its designed purpose(s) and wit-

hin its scope of application (refer to «operating limits»). 

Consult Application guidelines and datasheet available from cc.danfoss.com

 Under all circumstances, the EN378 (or  other applicable local safety 

regulation) requirements must be fulfilled.
The compressor is delivered under nitrogen gas pressure (between 0.3 

and 0.7 bar) and hence cannot be connected as is; refer to the «assem-

bly»

 

section for further details.

The compressor must be handled with caution in the vertical position (maxi-

mum offset from the vertical : 15°)

This Danfoss scroll compressor motor is protected by an external module protecting against phase loss/reversal, over heating and high current draw.

1 – Introduction

This instruction pertain to the Danfoss PCH 

scroll  compressor used for heat pump systems. 

It provides necessary information regarding 

safety and proper usage of this product.

2 – Handling and storage

 •  Handle the compressor with care. Use the 

dedicated handles in the packaging. Use the 

compressor lifting lug and use appropriate and 

safe lifting equipment.

 •  

Store and transport the compressor in an 

upright position.

 •  Store the compressor between Ts min and Ts 

max values for LP side indicated on compressor 

nameplate.

 •  Don’t expose the compressor and the packa-

ging to rain or corrosive atmosphere.

3 – Safety measures before assembly

 Never use the compressor in a flammable 

atmosphere.Check before assembly that the 

compressor does not show any obvious signs of 

deterioration that could have occurred during 

inappropriate transportation, handling or sto-

rage

 •  The compressor ambient temperature shall 

not exceed Ts max value for LP side indicated 

on compressor nameplate during off-cycle.

 •  Mount the compressor on a horizontal flat 

surface with less than 3° slope. The compres-

sor must be mounted with flexible grommet 

(single applications). Refer to the PCH guide-

line to know the tightening torques that must 

be applied.

 •  Verify that the power supply corresponds to 

the compressor motor characteristics (see 

 

nameplate).

 •  When installing PCH, use equipment specifi-

cally reserved for HFC refrigerants which was 

never used for CFC or HCFC refrigerants.

 •  Use clean and dehydrated refrigeration-grade 

copper tubes and silver alloy brazing material.

 •  Use clean and dehydrated system components.

 •  The piping connected to the compressor must be 

flexible in 3 dimensions to dampen vibrations.
