The compressor is driven by a three-phaseasynchronous motor that is build into the extendedcompressor housing. The motor rotor is located onthe shaft of the male screw rotor. Cooling is achievedby cold refrigerant vapor that mainly flows acrossthe motor rotor, in addition to providingcooling, this design also functions simultaneouslyas a centrifugal liquid separator.
2.2 Compression Procedure - Automatic VIControl
The compression in a screw compressor takes placein one direction (linear compression). The meshingrotors enclose a working space whose volume iscontinuously reduced as it moves in the axial direc-tion. Refrigerant vapor is drawn in on the suctionside and subsequently compressed by the mesh-ing action of the rotors in the enclosed working vol-ume. As soon as this working volume is opened tothe discharge port, the vapor is discharged to thehigh-pressure side and flows to the oil separator.

2. Design and Function
2.1 Construction Features
The Contour screw compressors are oftwo-shaft rotary displacement design withspecifically developed profile geometry (lobe ratio5:6 or 5:7). The main parts of thesecompressors are the two rotors (male andfemale) which are fitted into a closed housing. Therotors are precisely located at both ends by rollerbearings (radial and axial) which, in conjunction withthe generously sized oil supply chambers, providesoptimum operating characteristics.
Owing to the specific design this type ofcompressor does not require any working valves.To protect against reverse running when thecompressor is switched off (expansionoperation) a check valve is incorporated in thedischarge chamber (this valve does nothowever replace any check valves required by thesystem design). Internal differential pressure reliefvalves are fitted as over pressure protection.

2.3 Capacity Control / Start Unloading
For the Contour Screw Compressors a new formof regulating system has been developed. Thebasic principle corresponds to that of a control slideof large industrial compressors, a part of thetransported vapor flows back to the suction side ofthe rotor chamber. In contrast to larger capacitycompressors the control unit is designed so that itdoes not reduce the stability of the compressor hous-ing. The gap between the rotors and thehousing thus remains within tight tolerances, evenwith high operating temperatures and pressures.This is an important stage of development andensures good overall efficiency of smaller screw com-pressors, due to the higher precision andtolerance demands.
The control system consists of hydraulicallyactivated pistons for the male and female rotor, whichare flush with the end wall/housing during full loadoperation. The same efficiencies/characteristics aretherefore guaranteed as with a compressor withoutcapacity control. Typical losses as with slider sys-tems are avoided. During part load operation thepistons move to the rear position and open generously sized ports to the suction side. Aportion of the volume of gas compressed is therebytransported back to the suction side. The system isdesigned for 3 stages of regulation (100, 75, &50 %). By the use of intermittent switching analmost stepless characteristic can be achieved.
ControlControl is accomplished electrically via thesolenoid valves located on the discharge flange.

Caution: Screw compressors may only beoperated in one direction of rotation (reverserotation will cause severe damage)!
The very small gap (a few µ) between the rotorsthemselves and the housing is dynamically sealedwith oil, the oil is directly injected into the profilespaces, and to the roller bearings.
The size and geometry of the discharge portdetermine the so-called �built-in volume ration (Vi)�of the compressor. This ratio must be in a definedrelationship to the operating pressure ratio in orderto avoid losses in efficiency due to over or undercompression. For this reason screw compressorsare manufactured with different discharge portconfigurations specific to the application.
With the Contour semi � hermetic screwcompressors a newly developed system for fully au-tomatic Vi-control has been incorporated. Thedischarge port is automatically optimized for thenominal operating conditions (pressure ratio). Witha lower pressure ratio in the system a part of thecompressed gas flows directly to the dischargechamber via a valve mechanism in the rotorhousing (by-passing the discharge port). The flowvolume remaining in the profiles is thus reduced,the corresponding pressure is reduced and overcompression is avoided. This self-regulatingsystem achieves a high efficiency over a wideapplication range.

2.4 Mounting the Compressor
The Contour Screw Compressor itself is providedas a motor/compressor unit. It is only necessary tomount the complete unit correctly and to make theelectrical and pipe connections.
The compressor must be installed horizontally. Theuse of anti-vibration mounting pads is recommendedto reduce the transmission of noise or vibrations.The anti-vibration mounting pads are packedseparately from the compressor.
With direct mounting on water-cooled condensersthe use of anti-vibration mounting is essential inorder to prevent possible stress fracturing of the heatexchanger tubes.
The installation of the anti-vibration mounting padsis shown in Figure 5. The bolts should only betightened so that deformation of the upper rubberdisc is just visible.

2.5 Oil Circulation
The compressor oil is obtained from the external oilseparator that also serves as the oil reservoir. Dueto the pressure difference between the separator/reservoir and the injection point, an exactlymeasured quantity of oil is injected into thecompression chamber and the bearings of the
compressor. The oil is then transported together withthe refrigerant vapor in the direction ofcompression, where in addition to lubrication it alsoforms a dynamic seal between the rotors and thecompressor housing and the rotors, to theseparator/reservoir. The oil and vapor are separatedin the upper portion of this vessel. The oil flowdownward to the reservoir section of the vesselwhere it again flow to the compressor. The vaporexits the top of the vessel and flow to the condenser.Depending on operating conditions the circulatingoil will need to be cooled in an oil cooler. Undercertain conditions direct refrigerant injection can beused to achieve the required oil cooling.
The standard accessory kit of the Contour Screwcompressor includes the necessary items for the oilinjection line (oil filter, oil flow switch, oil solenoidvalve, sight glass and misc. fittings). In addition aline of oil separators is also available. Oil cooling bythermosyphon or Jet Kool principal is alsoavailable but require individual design andcomponent selection.

2.6 Oil Cooling
In systems with higher thermal loading, oil cooling is required. The following operating conditions must beconsidered:
� Minimum evaporating temperature� Maximum suction gas superheat temperature� Maximum condensing temperature� System operation (capacity control, economizer operation, etc.)

General Recommendations for Oil Coolers
� The oil cooler should be installed in closeproximity to the compressor.
� The piping should be designed so that no vaporaccumulations can occur and to eliminate thepossibility of the oil charge draining back to theoil separator during shut down periods.Preferably the oil cooler should be located be-low the compressor/oil separator.
� Pressure drop on the oil side of the oil coolershould be less than 7 psig during normaloperation.
� The oil flow solenoid valve should be installedas close as possible to the compressor to limitthe amount of oil draining to the compressorduring shut down periods (eliminate thepossibility of flooding the compressor with oil).
� A full port ball valve should be installed in the oilline after the oil cooler to facilitate servicing.
� The oil cooler must be thermostaticallycontrolled (see table)

� To facilitate the heating of the oil circuit and toreduce the pressure drop with cold oil an oil by-pass (or possibly heating of the oil cooler duringoff cycle) is required under the following condi-tions:- When the oil temperature in the oil cooler
can drop below 68°F during a long off cycle.- When the volume of oil in the oil cooler and
associated piping is greater than 7 gal.
Note: The oil bypass valve should have amodulating control function. The use of solenoidvalves (intermittent control) requires a controlthermostat with high sensitivity and minimum switch-ing differential (temperature fluctuation) of 20°.
Water Cooled Oil Cooler
Temperature control by the use of a thermostaticwater regulator (temperature range up to 212°F) isrecommended.
Air Cooled Oil Cooler
Temperature control by the use of a thermostaticswitch to turn on and off cooler fans or steplessspeed control of the fan motors is recommended(temperature range up to 212°F).

Important Considerations
The operating limits of the compressors must beadhered to (refer to section 5.3).
� The lower limit value indicated for the dischargegas temperature shown is only a referencevalue. The discharge gas temperature must beat least 54°F above the condensingtemperature.
� The sensor of the oil cooler temperaturecontroller must be installed on the discharge lineof the compressor approximately 8 inches fromthe compressor. The thermostat orregulator should be adjusted to maintain an oiltemperature that is 54°F above the condensingtemperature.
� Ester oils such as Solest 170 are extremely hy-groscopic and careful handling is required.Moisture is chemically bonded with these oilsand cannot, or only insignificantly, be removedby evacuation. Dispose of waste oil in anecologically beneficial way (chloritic oil ispollutive waste).
� A revised design may be necessary fordirect-expansion evaporators with finned tubeson the refrigerant side (consultation with coolermanufacturer).
The above information is intended as a guide forgeneral possible applications only. This informationdoes not have the purpose of confirming certain oilcharacteristics or their suitability for a particular use.
3.2 Mixing Of Lubricants Oil Changes
Different lubricants may not be mixed withoutagreement from Copeland Corp. Especially in thecase of an oil change, this is however onlynecessary in exceptional cases for systems withscrew compressors using HCFC and HFCrefrigerants (acid formation, contaminated oil).
4. Incorporation into the Refrigeration Circuit
Semi hermetic screw compressors, SHM/SHLseries, can be used for all refrigeration systems fromair conditioning to low temperatureapplications. The capacity range can be easilyexpanded due to the simple and economic Cope-land compound technology.
4.1 General Design Recommendation / Pipe Lay-out
The screw compressors can be incorporated intothe system in a similar way to reciprocating
compressors. Only the oil circuit will differ. Pipingshould be designed in compliance with acceptedcriteria especially in regard to flow velocities (oilreturn). The pipe layout and the systemconstruction must be designed so that thecompressor cannot be flooded with oil or liquidrefrigerant during shutdown periods. A simplesafeguard against this is to first pipe the dischargeand suction lines downward from the compressor.As an additional precaution (also provides simpleprotection against liquid slugging during starting)for systems with direct expansion either agooseneck after the evaporator or installation of thecompressor above the level of the evaporator isrequired (not essential with �pump down�system). A solenoid valve should also be installedin the liquid line directly before the expansion valve.
The use of flooded evaporators with HCFC/HFCrefrigerants require a separate oil return from theevaporator or low pressure receiver. TH e bleedpoint (preferably several) should be located in theoil rich liquid phase. The oil should be returned tothe suction of the compressor, but only after theliquid refrigerant has been evaporated. In systemswith widely varying liquid levels, such as liquid overfeed systems, a bleed point from the lowest pointafter the circulating pump should be used.
Further Recommendations for Unit Constructionand Pipe Layouts
Due to the low level of vibration and discharge gaspulsation, the suction and discharge lines canusually be installed without flexible connections ormufflers. The piping must however be sufficientlyflexible and must not exert any strain on thecompressor. Pipe runs parallel to the compressorare preferred. The distance from the compressoraxis should be kept as small as possible and theparallel section of piping should be at least as longas the compressor.
An oil heater is installed in the sump section of theoil separator to prevent high concentrations of re-frigerant diluting the oil during shutdown periods.An adjustable thermostat that should be set atapproximately 160°F. controls the heater. Inaddition, an off cycle by-pass that reduces thepressure in the oil separator to suction pressureand reduces the refrigerant saturation of the oil,can also be installed. An added benefit to this is toadditional reduce the start loading of thecompressor. A check valve after the oil separator,and a ¼� Ø equalizing line, with a solenoid valve,between the oil separator and the suction of thecompressor must be installed. The solenoid can onlybe opened when all the compressors in the systemare off.

A generously sized good quality liquid line filter drieris required to provide the system with a high degreeof dehydration and help maintain the chemicalstability of the system.
The installation of a suction filter (25 µ) isrecommended to protect the compressor fromdamage due to dirt or debris especially during theinitial start of the system.
Figure 8Typical Application
4.2 Guide Lines for Special System Consider-ations
In installations where the system is exposed to lowambient temperatures or the high pressure side isexposed to high temperatures (heat pumps),additional insulation of the oil separator is required.
In systems where the where the compressor or thesuction line/accumulator can reach a lowertemperature than the evaporator a pump down cyclemust be employed.
For systems with multi-circuit condensers and/orevaporators additional safeguards are necessary.When individual circuits are turned off, liquidrefrigerant will migrate to the evaporator/ condenser(temperature and pressure equalization is notpossible), the installation of an additional check valvein the discharge line and an automatic sequentialswitching arrangement for the compressor arerequired. The same also applies for plants withindividual circuits where temperature and pressureequalization cannot occur during long shutdownperiods. In some cases it may be necessary toinstall a suction accumulator or utilize a pump downcircuit.
Systems with reverse cycling or hot gas defrostrequire individually designed safeguards to protectthe compressor against liquid slugging and increasedoil carry-over. In addition a complete system review
is recommended. A suction accumulator should beinstalled to protect against liquid slugging. To avoidincreased oil carry-over, due to a rapid reduction ofpressure in the oil separator, it is necessary tomaintain the oil temperature is at least 54 to 72°Fabove the condensing temperature, during thechange over. In addition the installation of apressure regulator directly after the oil separator isrecommended to limit the reduction in pressure. Un-der certain circumstances it is also possible to stopthe compressor shortly before the change over pro-cedure and then to start it again after a pressureequalization has taken place. The compressor mustbe operating with the necessary minimum pressuredifferential within 30 seconds (see application limits,section 6.3).
4.3 Condenser Pressure Regulation
In order to guarantee consistent good quality oilsupply to the compressor and to maintain oilseparator efficiency a closely stepped or steplesscondenser pressure regulation is required. Rapiddepressurization of the oil separator can lead toexcessive foaming, oil migration and possible shutdown by the oil level sensor. Insufficient oil supplyand corresponding shutdown can also occur withinsufficient of delayed build up of condenserpressure. An additional pressure regulator in thedischarge line, after the oil separator, may benecessary with the following operating conditions:
� Extreme part load conditions and/or long shutdown periods with outdoor installation of thecondenser in low ambient areas.
� High suction pressure during start up inconjunction with low temperatures of the heattransfer fluid on the high-pressure side, criticalstart conditions.
� Hot gas defrost, reverse cycle operation.� Booster applications, low pressure differention
from suction to discharge.
4.4 Start Unloading
Due to the compression characteristics of screwcompressors, high suction pressure during start upcan lead to high mechanical loading and insufficientoil supply. Effective unloading is thereforenecessary. In addition, compressors of this size andcapacity usually require a means to reduce thestarting current, such as part winding starting.
Start unloading can be achieved by the followingmethods:
� Integrated start unloading, see section 2.3.Standard on all SHM & SHL compressors.

� Limited start unloading is possible by the useof an off cycle by-pass, see GeneralRecommendations section 4.1, with lowtemperature operation in conjunction with apressure limiting TX-valve or a crankcasepressure regulator. This method is howeverlimited to single compressor systems ofspecifically designed parallel compressorsystems.
NOTE: An external start unloading bypass as istypically used with reciprocating compressorscannot be utilized with screw compressors due topossible damage of the compressor.
4.5 Capacity Regulation
The requirement for capacity regulation isdependent on the system design and requirements.The following methods are available:
� Integrated capacity regulation, see section 2.3.Standard on all SHM & SHL compressors
� Frequency Inverter� Parallel operation, see section 4.6, possibly
combined with any of the above methods.
4.6 Parallel operation
The Copeland Contour SHM & SHL seriescompressors are particularly suitable for parallel op-eration due to the use of the external oilseparator/receiver.
Important advantages of the Copeland Contourcompound technology:
� Extension to the limited capacity provided by asingle compressor, up to six (6) compressorscan be compounded.
� Compounding compressors of similar ordiffering capacities.
� Possible to compound systems with differingsuction temperatures.
� Extended capacity regulation.� Simple oil distribution with single oil separator/
receiver.� Higher degree of operational safety, not
dependent on a single compressor.� Simple and economical installation.
Oil separators and other accessories are availablethat allow up to six (6) compressors in a single cir-cuit.

4.7 Economizer Operation
Copeland Contour compressors are equipped withan additional inlet connection for EconomizerOperation. Economizing can be accomplished byeither utilizing a subcooling circuit or two stagerefrigerant expansion. This mode of operationincreases the refrigeration capacity as well as theef ficiency of the system. The higher thecompression ratios the greater the benefits of thismode of operation will be.
4.8 Two-Stage Systems
Although screw compressors can be efficiently usedwith high compression ratios, there are a number ofapplications where two-stage compression can bebeneficial. This type of system is particularlybeneficial for systems with different suction
temperatures, low and medium temperatures as anexample, or for systems that require especially lowevaporating temperatures.
Typical applications would include large floodedcentral systems with low pressure receivers andpumped circulation, blast freezers which mayoperate as a single stage system during the initialphase, relatively high evaporating temperatures, butmust also provide high capacity and efficiency at lowevaporating temperatures, final phase.
Compressor Design� High pressure stage: SHM series� Low pressure stage: SHL series� Special booster design� Operation without an oil pump requires a
minimum differential pressure of 36 psi with amaximum pressure drop in the oil line from theseparator to the compressor of 5 psi
