General information

High ambient temperature

PVE

Low ambient temperature

Residual moisture

When choosing a refrigerant, different aspects 
must be taken into consideration:
• 

Legislation (now and in the future)

• 

Safety

• 

Application envelope in relation to expected 
running conditions

• 

Compressor capacity and efficiency

• 

Compressor manufacturer 
recommendations & guidelines

Additional points could influence the final choice:
• 

Environmental considerations

• 

Standardisation of refrigerants and 
lubricants

• 

Refrigerant cost

• 

Refrigerant availability

In case of enclosed fitting and high ambient 
temperature, it is recommend to check the 

temperature of power wires and conformity to 
their insulation specification.

Polyvinyl ether (PVE) is an innovative refrigeration 
lubricant for HFC refrigerant systems. PVE is as 
hygroscopic as existing polyolester lubricants 
(POE), but PVE does not chemically react with 
water; no acids are formed and compressor 
evacuation is easier.

The compressor technology applied in Danfoss 
VRJ scroll compressors in combination with PVE 
lubricant provides the best possible result in 
terms of reliability and compressor lifetime. 

Although the compressor itself can withstand 
low ambient temperature, the system may 
require specific design features to ensure safe 

and reliable operation. See below sections for 
recommendations.

Prior to shipment from the factory, every 
compressor is dehydrated, evacuated, and 
charged with dry nitrogen. Maximum residual 

moisture levels are 0.0082 oz. for model VRJ028, 
and 0.0120 oz. for VRJ035 and VRJ044.

VRJ scroll compressors can be operated only 
connected to the dedicated variable speed 
drive, at nominal voltages as indicated in “supply 

voltage” section. Under-voltage and over-voltage 
operation is allowed within the indicated voltage 
range.

VRJ scroll compressors can be applied from 
-13°F to 125°F ambient temperature. The 
compressors are designed as 100 % suction gas 

cooled without need for additional fan cooling. 
Ambient temperature has very little effect on the 
compressor performance

VRJ scroll compressor application range is 
influenced by several parameters which need to 
be monitored for a safe and reliable operation.

These parameters and the main 
recommendations for good practice and safety 
devices are explained hereunder:
