: LP safety switch shall never be bypassed

According to UL requirements, a high pressure 
safety switch is still mandatory in any system, 
even with high pressure transmitters connected 
and used via the variable speed drive.

HP switch settings shall not exceed the maximum 
service pressure of any system components. The 
high-pressure switch can be set to lower values 

depending on the application and ambient 
conditions. The HP switch must either be placed 
in a lockout circuit or consist of a manual reset 
device to prevent cycling around the high-
pressure limit. If a discharge valve is used, the HP 
switch must be connected to the service valve 
gauge port, which must not be isolated.

A low pressure (LP) safety switch is 
recommended. Deep vacuum operations of a 
scroll compressor can cause internal electrical 
arcing and scroll instability. Danfoss scroll 
compressors exhibit high volumetric efficiency 
and may draw very low vacuum levels, which 
could induce such a problem. The minimum 

low-pressure safety switch (loss of charge safety 
switch) setting is given in the above table. Either 
the LP safety switch must be a manual lockout 
device or an automatic switch wired into an 
electrical lockout circuit. The LP switch tolerance 
must not allow for vacuum operations of the 
compressor.

Scroll compressors are machines with fixed 
volume ratio, and operate more efficiently 
near the design pressure ratio. In the extreme, 
do not exceed a 7.5:1 pressure ratio (absolute 
discharge pressure to absolute suction pressure) 

for extended periods. The Danfoss VRJ scroll 
compressor is equipped with an internal pressure 
relief valve for protection against blocked 
condenser and fan failure conditions.

A crankcase heating function can be provided 
by injecting a DC current in the motor of the 
compressor, to keep the compressor warm, and 
avoid liquid migration during off cycle.

Refer to “Danfoss VRJ Installation and Operation 
instructions” for details.

A specific function can be enabled to secure 
the oil return to the compressor. When the 
compressor is running at minimum speed for 

extended periods, every half hour, speed will be 
increased to 2400 rpm for a 80 seconds period.

Suction and discharge pressure transmitters have 
to be installed and connected to the variable 
speed drive to ensure the compressor operates 
within the application envelope described above.

Refer to “Danfoss VRJ Installation and Operation 
instructions” for connection details, and to 
“Sensor Selection Guideline” manual for selection 
details and technical brochures about pressure 
transmitters.
