Installation

In installations with good oil return and line 
runs up to 15 m, no additional oil is required. If 
installation lines exceed 15 m, additional oil may 
be needed. 1 or 2% of the total system refrigerant 
charge (in kg) can be used to roughly define the 
required oil top-up quantity (in liters) but in any 
case the oil charge has to be adjusted based on 
the oil level in the compressor sight glass.

When the compressor is running under stabilized 
conditions, the oil level must be visible in the 
sight glass.

The presence of foam filling in the sight glass 
indicates large concentration of refrigerant in the 
oil and / or presence of liquid returning to the 
compressor.

The oil level can also be checked a few minutes 
after the compressor stops, the level must be 
between ¼ and ¾ of sight glass.

When the compressor is off, the level in the 
sight glass can be influenced by the presence of 
refrigerant in the oil.

Always use original Danfoss PVE Oil from new 
cans. 

Top-up the oil while the compressor is idle. Use 
the schrader connector or any other accessible 
connector on the compressor suction line and 
a suitable pump. See news bulletin “Lubricants 
filling in instructions for Danfoss Commercial 
Compressors.”
