About these guidelines
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide guidance in the application of Copeland
™ scroll
compressors in users’ systems. They are intended to answer the questions raised while designing,
assembling and operating a system with these products.
Besides the support they provide, the instructions listed herein are also critical for the proper and
safe functioning of the compressors. The performance and reliability of the product may be impacted
if it is not used according to these guidelines or is misused.
These application guidelines cover mainly transport applications. In transport, special considerations
such as high vibration and shocks, power supply characteristics, high ambient temperatures,
frequent cycling and other factors may apply. It is the responsibility of the system designer/planner
to define the individual requirements to qualify the compressor and the complete system for their
specific needs. Please contact the Application Engineering department at Emerson for additional
support.

Safety instructions
Copeland scroll compressors are manufactured according to the latest relevant European, UK and
US
safety standards. Particular emphasis has been placed on the user’s safety.
YRH(V)* compressors are intended for installation in systems in accordance with the following
directives and regulations:
Machinery Directive MD 2006/42/EC
Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulation 2016
Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU
Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulation 2008
Low Voltage Directive LVD 2014/35/EU
Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulation 2016
They may be put to service only if they have been installed in systems according to instructions and
conform to the corresponding provisions of the applicable legislation.
NOTE: Only dedicated compressors are allowed to be used with flammable refrigerants.
Emerson marks all compressors that are qualified for flammable refrigerants with a sticker
indicating the usage of such refrigerants. Systems using flammable refrigerants must be
executed correctly while observing safety rules, as specified in corresponding safety
standards such as, but not limited to EN 378. They must comply with any and all applicable
legislation and regulations. Ensuring compliance remains the user’s responsibility.
The Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) for each individual refrigerant shall be considered when
working with these types of refrigerant
– please check this document provided by the gas supplier.
These instructions shall be retained throughout the lifetime of the compressor.
You are strongly advised to follow these safety instructions.
