MLZ are designed with features to reduce the
sound level when a compressor is running.
Sound levels are at rated (EN12900 medium
temperature) conditions.
MLZ have a unique discharge valve design that
minimizes stopping noise. This results in very low
shutdown sound.
Typical sound and vibration in refrigeration
systems encountered by design and service
engineers may be broken down into the
following three source categories.
Sound radiation:
This generally takes an
airborne path.
Mechanical vibrations:
These generally extend
along the parts of the unit and structure.
Gas pulsation:
This tends to travel through the
cooling medium, i.e. the refrigerant.
The following sections will focus on the causes
and methods of mitigation for each of the above
sources.
For sound radiating from the compressor, the
emission path is airborne and the sound waves
are travelling directly from the machine in all
directions.
The MLZ scroll compressors are designed to be
quiet and the frequency of the sound generated
is pushed into the higher ranges, which not only
are easier to reduce but also do not generate the
penetrating power of lower-frequency sound.
Use of sound-insulation materials on the inside of
unit panels is an effective means of substantially
reducing the sound being transmitted to the
outside. Ensure that no components capable
of transmitting sound/vibration within the unit
come into direct contact with any non insulated
parts on the walls of the unit.
Because of the unique design of a full-suction gas
& oil cooled motor, compressor body insulation
across its entire operating range is possible.
During start-up transients it is natural for the
compressor sound level to be slightly higher
than during normal running. MLZ scroll
compressors exhibit very little increased start-up
transient sound. If a 3-phase model is miswired,
the compressor will run in reverse. Reverse
compressor rotation is characterized by an
objectionable sound. To correct reverse rotation,
disconnect power and switch any two of the
three power leads at the unit contactor. Never
switch leads at the compressor terminals.
