may  occur  when  a  scroll  compressor  is  started  in  a  vacuum  causing  burnout  of  the  internal  lead 
connections. 

6.6.3  Compressor return procedure 

If a compressor has to be returned to the manufacturer for analysis, the refrigerant and the oil have 
to be removed completely. For the shipping process, all compressor connections must remain open 
and warning stickers for flammable refrigerant must be placed on the shipping box. 

  During the entire working procedure continuously check if the ambient atmosphere is flammable. 

If  a  flammable  atmosphere  is  detected,  ensure  proper  ventilation  of  the  working  space  and 
immediately cut-off the power supply. 

  Resume working after the atmosphere is no longer dangerous. 

  Recover  the  refrigerant  from  the  system  using  a  suitable  recovery  unit.  During  this  action,  the 

compressor crankcase heater could be energized 

– immediately de-energize in case a flammable 

atmosphere is detected. 

  Recover to 3 mbar absolute pressure or lower. For best results and to recover also the refrigerant 

solved in the oil, run the recovery unit two or three times as necessary. 

  Flush the whole system with oxygen-free dry nitrogen. 

  Open the system with a cutting tool and flush the entire system with dry nitrogen. 

  Disassemble the compressor with a cutting tool. Drain and recover compressor oil properly. Flush 

the compressor with dry nitrogen for a few minutes. 

  The  compressor  should  be  returned  free  of  oil  and  with  connections  open 

–  do  not  close 

connections with plugs. 

  Collect and secure the oil properly. Provide information about the quantity of oil drained from the 

compressor and its colour. Ideally, send a good picture. 

  Dispose of the oil according to local rules and regulations. 

  Use  a  proper  cardboard  box  package  when  preparing  the  compressor  for  shipment.  Place 

warning icons 

 on each side and on the top of the box. Mention the following message on 

the box: 

"Warning! Flammable A2L or A3 refrigerant compressor for analysis"

  The compressor shipment must be kept in the upright position 

– mark it accordingly. 

  If more than one compressor must be returned, each compressor must be packed individually. 

NOTE:  Check  with  your  transport  company  that  all  the  requirements  that  apply  to  such 
shipments are complied with.

 

6.7 

Lubrication and oil removal 

 

WARNING 
Air/flammable 

refrigerant 

mixture! 

Flammable 

and 

explosive 

atmosphere!  Fire  and  explosion  hazard!

  Use  suitable  recovery  unit  and 

recycling bottles also for oil disposal as A2L refrigerant may still be solved in 
the oil. 

 

 

CAUTION 
Chemical reaction! Compressor destruction!

 Do not mix up ester oils with 

mineral  oil  and/or  alkyl  benzene  when  used  with  chlorine-free  (HFC) 
refrigerants. 

 

The compressor is supplied with an initial oil charge. The standard oil for use with refrigerants R454C, 
R1234yf, R513A, R134a and R407C is a polyolester (POE) lubricant Emkarate RL 32 3MAF. See 
nameplate for original oil charge shown in litres. A field recharge is from 0.05 to 0.1 litre less. 

One disadvantage of POE is that it is far more hygroscopic than mineral oil 

– see 

Figure 18

. Only 

brief exposure to ambient air is needed for POE to absorb sufficient moisture to make it unacceptable 
for use in a refrigeration system. Since POE holds moisture more readily than mineral oil it is more 
difficult to remove it through the use of vacuum. The compressors supplied by Emerson contain oil 
with  low  moisture  content,  which  may  rise  during  the  system  assembling  process.  Therefore,  it  is 
recommended that a properly sized filter-drier is installed in all POE systems. This will maintain the 
moisture level in the oil to less than 50 ppm. If oil is charged into a system, it is recommended to use 
POE with moisture content no higher than 50 ppm.
