This new series represents the result of further develop-
ment to provide a simplified and favorably priced screw
compressor for use in factory made systems.

Contrary to the semi-hermetic and open type, SHM/
SHL and SDM/SDL compressor models for commercial
and industrial installation, the compact screws are
designed with an integral oil separator. The effort
involved in installation is therefore comparable with that
for semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors.

In addition to this, the electrical control and the monitor-
ing of the oil circuit has been simplified. The proven
basic construction and the ease of service have been
retained.

The most modern screw compressor technology is now
available in the middle capacity range for compact liquid
chillers and air conditioning equipment.

2.1  Design features

Copeland Compact screws are of the twin rotor design
with a newly-developed profile geometry (lobe ratio 5:6).
The main parts of these compressors are the two rotors
(male and female rotor), which are fitted into a closed
housing. The rotors are precisely located at both ends
in rolling contact bearings (radial and axial), which, in
conjunction with the generously sized oil supply
chambers, provides optimum emergency running
characteristics.

Owing to the specific design, this type of compressor
does not require any working valves. To protect against
reverse running when the compressor is switched off
(expansion operation) a check valve is incorporated in
the discharge chamber (this valve does not, however,
replace any check valves required by the system
design). An internal pressure relief valve is utilized for
over-pressure protection.

The compressor is driven by a three-phase asynchro-
nous motor, which is built into the compressor housing.
The motor rotor is located on the shaft of the male
screw rotor. Cooling is achieved by cold refrigerant

vapor, which mainly flows through bores in the motor
rotor.
