RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS

Maneurop®  NTZ  compressors  have 
been  designed  and  qualified  for  sta-
tionary equipment using standard al-
ternating power supply. Danfoss  does 
not  warrant  the  compressors  for  use 
on mobile applications such as trucks, 
railways, subways, ships etc.

These  selection  and  application  gui-
delines  concern  single  compressors  
only.  For  guidelines  on  manifolding 
Maneurop®  NTZ  compressors,  please 
refer to literature called "Parallel Appli-
cation Guidelines".

SYSTEM DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS

Piping design

Oil  in  a  refrigeration  circuit  is  requi-
red  to  lubricate  moving  parts  in  the 
compressor.  During  normal  system 
operation  small  oil  quantities  will 
continuously  leave  the  compressor, 
with the discharge gas. Therefore, the 
system  piping  shall  be  designed  in  a 
way  which  allows  a  good  oil  circula-
tion, avoiding oil being trapped in the 
system  and  ensuring  a  constant  oil 
return  to  the  compressor.  As  long  as 
the amount of oil circulating through 
the system is small it will contribute to 

good system operation and improved 
heat transfer efficiency. 

Lubricant  getting  trapped  in  the  
evaporator  or  suction  lines  will  affect 
system  performance  and  will  ultima-
tely  lead  to  compressor  lubrication 
failures. Where a poor oil return situa-
tion  exists,  adding  lubricant  will  not 
help  safeguard  the  compressor.  Only 
a  correct  piping  design  can  ensure  
adequate  oil  circulation  maintaining 
safe oil level in the compressor.

Horizontal  suction  line  sections  shall 
have  a  slope  of  0.5%  in  the  direction 
of  refrigerant  flow  (5  mm  per  meter).
The cross-section of horizontal suction 
lines  shall  be  such  that  the  resulting 
gas velocity is at least 4 m/s. In vertical 
risers, a gas velocity of 8 to 12 m/s is 
required to ensure proper oil return. A 

U-trap  is  required  at  the  foot  of  each 
vertical riser. If the riser is higher than 
4 m, additional U-traps are required for 
each additional 4 meters.The length of 
each  U-trap  must  be  as  short  as  pos-
sible  to  avoid  the  accumulation  of 
excessive  quantities  of  oil  (see  figure 
below).
