Trane, the worlds leading producer of commercial and light commercial scroll compressors, sets the standard worldwide for scroll compressors larger than five tons.
Trane has manufactured scroll compressors since 1988. Scroll compressors are used in a variety of applications from less than 15 tons with a single compressor to more than 60 tons when used in tandem. Applications include air conditioning, airand water-cooled chillers and condensing units, process cooling, refrigeration, dehumidification, military, mobile, heat pumps, railroad cars and others. Tranes 3-D scroll technology and 3-D scroll compressors are recognized as state-of-the-art in the United States and around the world. Furthermore, Tranes 3-D scroll technology has been licensed to other manufacturers worldwide. Development of compressor technology is not new to Trane. Tranes expertise in compressor development started with the centrifugal compressor in the early 1930s. The early 1950s saw the

development and manufacturing of open reciprocating compressors. As technology and markets changed, the product line grew to include semihermetic and hermetic reciprocating compressors in size ranges from 1 to100 tons. Trane currently produces a variety of compressors including centrifugal, reciprocating, helical-rotary and scroll designs. As compressor technology evolves, Trane remains committed to improving existing products and developing new technology. Trane has been pursuing continuous improvement to the 3-D scroll compressor since its introduction in 1988. Improvements are the result of years of field experience and extensive laboratory testing. The 3-D scroll compressor is quiet, efficient, and has great application flexibility, yet has fewer parts and is lighter and more compact.

COM-S-9
Improved check valve for quiet shutdown and less flow restriction.
Reverse vent to prevent scroll damage during reverse rotation caused by improper phase connection.
High strength cast iron fixed and orbiting scroll, resulting in less thermal distortion, less leakage and higher efficiency.
Motor tube for more accurate lower bearing alignment. Also, permits suction gas to enter shell prior to flowing through and cooling the motor. Dirt particles will then drop out and settle in the sump.
High volume oil sump maintains lubrication during periods of high oil carry-over.

High EERs
EER levels range to 11.5+ Btu/watt hour. This is due in part to the use of optimized involute geometry, improved porting and lower discharge flow losses with a check valve. In addition, accurate involute machining and a reduction in thermal expansion by using cast iron for both scrolls permits tight tolerances, resulting in reduced compression leakage. A specifically designed motor provides improved efficiency.
Compressor Protection
The protection system consists of an internal motor temperature sensor which is placed in series with an external current sensor (CSHA only), external high- and low-pressure switches, and the hold-in coil of the main contacts. This has proven to be a reliable, flexible and easy-to-service system.

New Refrigerants
This compressor has the future in mind. The basic compressor platform with less rotating mass, all-cast-iron scrolls, journal bearings and a more responsive check valve, make this 3-D scroll compressor adaptable to the new highpressure refrigerants and POE oils as they replace existing HCFC refrigerants that use mineral oil. Properly designed journal bearings can operate successfully with POE oils that may contain a high concentration of refrigerant. In addition, the more responsive check valve is better suited to the various densities and operating pressures of the new HFC refrigerants. The 3-D scroll compressor is optimized for R-22 but is also available for use with R-134a, R-404a and R-407c. Future optimized designs for selected refrigerants will follow.

Durability/Extended Life
Many features contribute to durability and long life. A motor tube design is used. The motor and lower bearing head are both located in a steel tube bolted to the housing. This arrangement provides for a more precise motor and bearing alignment and permits the suction gas to enter the shell prior to flowing through the motor. The velocity of the suction gas decreases as it enters the shell, allowing the dirt particles to drop out and settle in the sump. The compressor has a built-in dirt separator/trap in the lower bearing head to prevent dirt from reaching the bearings. The high-volume oil sump helps prevent excessive oil loss that can occur in systems with large refrigerant charges. This high volume oil sump and large suction volume also help minimize the oil dilution and slugging that occur during periods of flooding. Also, the use of cast iron for both the orbiting and fixed scrolls provides greater strength and galling resistance.

Tandem Capability
The tandem capability of the scroll allows, with suitable piping, up to four compressors on a single circuit. The outstanding reliability of the 3-D scroll compressor, with properly designed piping, makes this a practical alternative to single large compressors. High part-load efficiency and capacity control are a few of the benefits.

These compressors have ranged in size from one to more than 15 tons, including single and tandem compressors. Trane has approximately 30 U.S. and international patents. Confidence in the durability of this design is based on both mathematical and rigorous laboratory testing conducted by compressor and system engineers who apply the 3-D scroll compressors.
pressure ratios, high pressure differentials, flooded starts, rapid on-off cycling and pump down. Qualifications included a battery of tests in the (SEET) Systems Extreme Environmental Test chamber in Tyler, Texas, where the compressor and unit are subjected to extreme conditions outside the operating range. The SEET facility is designed to put compressors through five years of wear and tear in 16 grueling weeks. Other tests include evaluation of the tandem system for proper oil management and line vibration. Additionally, over 250,000 hours of field and other laboratory testing was accumulated utilizing over 180 development and qualification compressors.

Discharge E
The principles of operation: The suction gas is drawn into the compressor at A. The gas then passes through the gap between the rotor and stator, B, cooling the motor, C. The gas then enters the intake chamber, D, that encircles the scrolls. The oil in the suction gas is separated by changing directions and impinging on surfaces within the compressor and then draining back to the oil sump. Finally, the suction gas is drawn into the scroll assembly where it is compressed and discharged into the dome of the compressor. The dome of this compressor acts as a hot gas muffler which dampens the pulsations before the gas enters the discharge line, E.
