Danfoss SY300 Scroll Compressor

About Danfoss SY300 Scroll Compressor

• In a Danfoss SM / SY / SZ scroll compressor, the compression is performed by two scroll elements located in the upper part of the compressor.
• Suction gas enters the compressor at the suction connection. As all of the gas flows around and through the electrical motor, thus ensuring complete motor cooling in all applications, oil droplets separate and fall into the oil sump. After exiting the electrical motor, the gas enters the scroll elements where compression takes place. Ultimately, the discharge gas leaves the compressor at the discharge connection.
• The figure below illustrates the entire compression process. The centre of the orbiting scroll (in grey) traces a circular path around the centre of the fixed scroll (in black). This movement creates symmetrical compression pockets between the two scroll elements. Low-pressure suction gas is trapped within each crescent-shaped pocket as it gets formed, continuous motion of the orbiting scroll serves to seal the pocket, which decreases in volume as the pocket moves towards the centre of the scroll set increasing the gas pressure. Maximum compression is achieved once a pocket reaches the centre where the discharge port is located; this stage occurs after three complete orbits. Compression is a continuous process: the scroll movement is suction, compression and discharge all at the same time.

• In addition to the existing SM range compressors previously available, Danfoss is completing its range with 3 compressors.
• The new SM112-124-147 and SZ147 compressors benefit from a further improved design to achieve the highest efficiency.
• Gas circulation, motor cooling and oil behaviour are improved by a new patented motor cap design.
• Part protection and assembly reduces internal leaks and increases life durability.
• Improved part isolation reduces greatly acoustic levels.
• Gas intake design induces higher resistance to liquid slugging.
