and ICI EMKARATE RL32CF for use with these com-
pressors. Lennox recommends adding 1 oz. of oil per addi-
tional 10 ft. for applications with line sets over 50 ft. See
electrical section in this manual for compressor specifica-
tions.
TWO−STAGE OPERATION
The two−stage scroll compressor operates like any stan-
dard scroll compressor with the exception the two−stage
compressor modulates between first stage (low capacity
approximately 67%) and second stage (high capacity).
Modulation occurs when gas is bypassed through bypass
ports (figure 5 bypass ports open) in the first suction pock-
et. This bypassing of gas allows the compressor to operate
on first stage (low capacity) if thermostat demand allows.
Indoor thermostat setting will determine first or second
stage operation. The compressor will operate on first−stage
until demand is satisfied or the indoor temperature reaches
the thermostat set point calling for second−stage.
Second−stage (high capacity) is achieved by blocking the
bypass ports (figure 5 bypass ports closed) with a slider
ring. The slider ring begins in the open position and is con-
trolled by a
24VDC internal solenoid. On a Y2 call the inter-
nal solenoid closes the slider ring, blocking the bypass
ports and bringing the compressor to high capacity. Two−
stage modulation can occur during a single thermostat de-
mand as the motor runs continuously while the compressor
modulates from first−stage to second− stage.
