Danfoss VRJ for residential applications 
developed by Danfoss is a complete package 
consisting of a dedicated variable speed 
compressor, variable speed drive, application 
controller, electronic expansion valve (EEV), EEV 
controller and sensors. Three nominal system 

sizes are available (3, 4 and 5 TR), based on three 
compressor models.

These Selection & Application Guidelines focus 
on the variable speed scroll compressor.

The motor stator is rigidly attached to the shell. 
The rotor is shrink-fit onto the eccentric shaft. The 
shaft is supported by two bearings, one in the 
crankcase and the second below the motor.

Variable speed technology offers more flexibility 
in compressor selection than fixed speed 
compressors. Selection of the right variable 
speed compressor size can be done by different 
methods:

• 

Maximum cooling capacity: select a 
compressor size that achieves the peak 
load system cooling capacity demand at its 
maximum speed.

• 

Nominal cooling capacity: select a 
compressor size that achieves the nominal 
system cooling capacity at a rotational 
speed of 3000-4200 rpm (50-70Hz).

• 

Best Seasonal Efficiency Ratio: select a 
compressor size that achieves the minimum 

system cooling demand at its minimum 
speed. Ensure that the compressor is able to 
cover the peak load system cooling capacity. 
This selection makes the compressor to run 
for a maximum of time at part load where 
the system efficiency is highest.

Danfoss scroll compressors are manufactured 
using the most advanced machining, assembly, 
and process control techniques. In design of 
both the compressor and the factory, very high 
standards of reliability and process control 
were first priority. The result is a highly efficient 
product with the highest reliability obtainable, 
and a low sound level. 

The Danfoss VRJ compressors referenced in this 
guide is a fully compliant scroll and actually 
improves with run time in its early commissioning. 

A seventy-two hour run-in is recommended to 
meet performance expectations.
