Installation
Electrical connection
Power supply
Large ZX CDU/EMP Rack are delivered with a holding charge of neutral gas. The condensing unit should be located in such a place to prevent any dirt, plastic bag, leaves, or papers from covering the condenser and its fins. The unit must be installed without restricting the airflow. A clogged condenser will increase the condensing temperature, thus reducing the cooling capacity, which leads to a high-pressure switch tripping. Clean the condenser fins on a regular basis.
Large ZX CDU/EMP Rack electrical connection to the power supply must be made by qualified technicians, who should refer to the electrical diagrams located inside the electric connection panel. The units are designed for power supply at ± 10% voltage tolerance. The circuit breaker must be switched off before opening the front panel. The unit must be grounded before electrical use.
Electrical wiring
Before commissioning, ensure the neutral "N" wire is connected to the terminal block ("N" furthest to the right). After proper connection of the ZX condensing unit, the control LED on the power board and control board will light up (see wiring diagrams for more details). Customers' wire size needs to be selected to allow for the maximum operation current of each unit.
Refrigeration piping installation
All interconnecting pipes should be of refrigeration grade, clean, dehydrated and must remain capped at both ends until installation. Even during installation, if the system is left for any reasonable period of time (e.g. two hours), pipes should be re-capped to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the system.
Do not assume that the service connection sizes on the unit (at the service valves) are the correct size to run your interconnecting refrigeration pipes. The service valve sizes have been selected for convenience of installation, and in some cases (larger units), these may be considered too small. However, for the very short pipes within our units, these service connection sizes are adequate. All interconnecting pipes should be sized to satisfy the duty required.
The suction line of condensing unit or rack must be well insulated. Large ZX and EMP Rack are featured with vapor injection, thus the liquid line must be insulated too, because the liquid line can pick up additional heat from the ambient and adversely affect the sub-cooling desirable for the liquid refrigerant before it enters the expansion valve.
The pipe should be sized to ensure optimum performance and good oil return. The sizing must also take into account the full capacity range through which this particular unit will need to operate.
Pipe runs should be kept as short as possible, using the minimum number of directional changes. Use large radius bends and avoid trapping of oil and refrigerant. This is particularly important for the suction line. The suction line should ideally slope gently towards the unit. Recommendation slope is 1/200~1/250. P traps, double risers and reduced pipe diameters may be required for suction lines where long vertical risers cannot be avoided.All pipes should be adequately supported to prevent sagging which can create oil traps.
The recommended pipe clamp support distance is shown below:
Tube size | Max distance between two clamp supports |
12.7 mm (1/2 inch) | 1.20 m |
16.0 mm (5/8 inch) | 1.50 m |
22.0 mm (7/8 inch) | 1.85 m |
28.5 mm (1 1/8 inch) | 2.20 m |
34.93 mm (13/8 inch) | 2.44 m |
When brazing, the system should be protected with an inert gas such as nitrogen at a very low pressure. Only materials and components approved for refrigeration engineering are suitable.
It is necessary that all impurities (dirt, brazing scale, flux, etc.) are removed from the system before operation to avoid breakdowns. Many of these impurities are so small that they can pass through a filter and enter the suction side of the compressor. Other blockages can occur in the suction filter, and a high pressure drop can cause damage. For this reason, it is strongly recommended the usage of a large suction filter (which causes only a minimal drop of pressure) on all installations which are to be assembled on site in cases where the required cleanliness cannot be guaranteed. The suction filter core is highly recommended to be changed after first time 72 hours commissioning.
For selection of Emerson flow controls STAS filter drier for Large ZX or EMP Rack please contact Application Engineering in your region.
Liquid line insulation
Large ZX and EMP Rack are featured with vapor injection, the liquid line must be insulated with at least 19 mm thick, to avoid sub-cooling loss through heat absorption from ambient.
Brazing recommendations
Maintain a flow of oxgen-free nitrogen through the system at a very low pressure during brazing. Nitrogen displaces the air and prevents the formation of copper oxides in the system. If copper oxidization is allowed to form, the copper oxide material can be swept later through the system and block screens such as those protecting capillary tubes, thermal expansion valves, and accumulator oil return holes. This minimizes any entry of contaminants and moisture.
- Remove the liquid line connetion cap.
- Then remove the suction connection cap.
- Open both valves midway. Care should be taken to avoid the holding charge from releasing too quickly.
- Be sure that tube fitting inner diameter and tube outer diameter are clean prior to assembly.
- Since both tubes are extended from the condensing unit housing, Emerson recommends insulating the housing by using a wet cloth on the copper tubing.
Recommended brazing materials:
- a copper/ phosphorous or copper/phosphorous/silver alloy rod should be used for joining copper to copper whereas to join dissimilar or ferric metals, use a silver alloy rod, either flux coated or seperate.
- Use a double tip torch.
Location and fixing
Large ZX and EMP Rack should always be installed in a location free of other source of heat radiation and not be blown by wind in winter time. The place should have clean air circulation. The minimum operating space for unit or rack are described in below figures. Where multiple units or racks are to be installed in the same location, the contractor needs to consider space for each equipment carefully. The installation location should avoid the affecting to surrounding residents, without air blows directly to residents' windows.
The units or racks should be mounted on a solid concrete slab with anti-vibration pads between unit/rack feet and concrete. When the installation location is easy of water accumulation, the mounting base should have a certain height of cement base station at about 300 mm. At snowy areas, there should be additional cover be installed on top of the unit/rack besides a cement base in the bottom. The snow cover should be mounted at least 1500 mm higher than top of the unit/rack.

Expansion valve selection for low ambient application
For systems expected to operate in varying ambient conditions - namely summer and winter temperatures - the expansion valve (TXV or EXV) sizing should take into consideration the maximum expected saturated condensing temperature at high ambient conditions (summer) and the minimum expected saturated condensing temperature during low ambient conditions (winter).
The chosen expansion valve's operating capacities should all be well within these limits to ensure satisfactory system performance
The liquid refrigerant from the low temperature ZXLD and EMPLD unit / rack in liquid line is subcooled to very low temperature when it goes through PHE, so system expansion valve selection should take it into consideration. The table below lists the reference liquid line temperature.

Start up and operation
Before commissioning, make sure that all valves in condensing unit or rack are fully opened. Make sure that each protector's wiring is normal and in working condition.
Leak detection and pressure holding
During pressure holding, the high pressure should be less than 18 barg, and the low pressure should be less than 12 barg. Vacuum method is also allowed to detect leaks.
Vacuuming
Do not use the compressor to vacuum the system!
The evacuation procedure is based upon achieving an actual system vacuum standard and is not time dependent. Before the installation is put into commission, it has to be evacuated with a vacuum pump. Proper evacuation reduces residual moisture to 50ppm. The installation of adequately sized access valves at the furthest point from the compressor in the suction and liquid lines is advisable. To achieve undisturbed operation, the compressor valves are closed and the system is evacuated down to 0.3 mbar/0.225 Torr. Pressure must be measured using a vacuum pressure (Torr) gauge on the access valves and not on the vacuum pump; this is done to avoid incorrect measurements resulting from the pressure gradient along the connecting lines to the pump.
Before vacuuming, make sure the manual valves are opened. Please refer to the figure on the right, vacuum operation must be performed separately from points A, B and C.
Point A
Point B
Point C (except for ZXD120BE)
Refrigerant charging procedure
The scroll compressor design requires system charging as quickly as possible with liquid refrigerant into the liquid line. This will avoid running the compressor under conditions where there is insufficient suction gas. Sufficient gas is available to cool not only the motor but also the scrolls. Temperature builds up very quickly in the scrolls if this is not done. Do not charge vapor refrigerant into Large ZX condensing unit or EMP Rack. The suction service valves must be fully opened at any time while the compressor is running.
Refrigerant should be fully charged before start-up. The best filling port is at the liquid line service valve. If one-time charge from liquid line is not enough, charging the refrigerant at compressor running may cause to multiple pressure cut off and delayed restart, during which by-pass the low-pressure control and low-pressure protection are prohibited.
For charging adjustment, it is recommended to check the liquid sight glass just before the expansion valve.
For Large ZX unit and EMP rack, configured with PHE sub-cooler, please charge liquid refrigerant from point C. After starting up, you can continue to charge liquid refrigerant from point A. When there is insufficient refrigerant charge, there is gas in the moisture indicator, the controller will show E47 (electronic expansion fully open) or E48 (injection shortage) warnings. After there is no gas bubble in the moisture indicator, please continue to charge about 1 kg of refrigerant.
Oil charging procedure
Emerson Large ZX and EMP Rack are supplied with oil charge in compressor at the factory. Please confirm the oil level in the oil sight glass of the compressor after a short period of trial operation. If the oil level is above half of the sight glass, it can be considered sufficient oil. If oil charging is needed, charge oil through the needle valve port on the suction service valve.
When the length of one-way pipeline exceeds 20m, it is necessary to add oil at mid-glass in the upper oil sight glass of the oil reservoir before unit start up. If the oil level goes down below the lower oil sight glass after system running stable, it is suggested to add oil at least to mid-glass in the lower oil sight glass.

Check before starting & during operation
- Check all the valves are fully opened, to prevent trapping liquid.
- After starting and running stable, it is recommended to check the compressor oil level to confirm whether it is necessary to refuel the oil (halfway up the sight glass).
- Discharge line temperature should be lower than 125°C, discharge pressure should be lower than 28 barg, and the operating current is within the normal range.
- The oil sump temperature at the bottom of the compressor should be within the safe range shown in the figure below:

Operating suction pressure low due to low load | Check if the low pressure rises during stop, replace the corresponding equipment (coil or valve body) when confirming the failure of the solenoid valve. | |
Leakage of liquid line solenoid valve | Measure the pressure change at compressor suction and evaporator outlet during the shutdown process. It may be that the compressor suction pressure has decreased to the stop setting and the evaporator side liquid refrigerant has not completely evaporated. Need to improve piping design | |
Too much pressure drop in suction piping | It is normal phenomenon. At first time start after power on or over 1 hour shut off, the unit is in initial start procedure, during which the compressor will strat up 3 times with 3 seconds running in each time, each time with 20 seconds interval. | |
If the compressor is frequently started during normal operation: | Refer to [Compressor overcurrent], [Discharge pressure high pressure], [Suction pressure too low protection], [Discharge gas overheating] related content for detailed system check | |
The unit is at initial startup | Check if the temperature difference between the start and stop of the thermostat is too small, and whether the thermostat fault frequently issues a stop command. If there is a fault, replace the corresponding device | |
Frequent compressor protection (alarm code display) | Try to replace the controller and see if the fault persists | |
Thermostat failure | Measure operating low pressure. Need to confirm whether the low pressure set is correctly, whether the low pressure switch is faulty? If there is a fault, replace the corresponding device. Also refer to the relevant content of Article 3 [suction pressure Low protection] | |
Controller failure | ||
Low pressure during normal operation |
Fault phenomenon | Direct cause | Inspection analysis and adjustment |
Compressor reverse running | Swap any two-phase wiring | Swap any two-phase wiring |
8 Abnormal noise | The compressor is overloaded | Check if the high-pressure pressure is running high, whether the low-pressure pressure is low, and whether the pressure ratio is too large. |
The compressor oil level is too low or too high | Confirm the oil level and perform oil drain or replenishment | |
Too much refrigerant | Release some of the refrigerant from the stop valve liquid line slowly to prevent excessive loss of lubricating oil | |
Continuous liquid back | Check if compressor oil tank temperature is low | |
System with liquid start | Check whether the compressor crankcase heater is working during compressor stops and whether the liquid solenoid valve leaks. | |
Compressor internal failure | Check if the compressor current corresponds to operating high and low pressure. If it is too high, it may indicate that the inside of the compressor may have worn | |
Unit resonance | Try to press each pipe, bracket, housing, condenser, etc., and observe if the noise changes. After confirming the source of noise, reinforce, separate, or add sponge cushions to the corresponding parts. | |
Unit contacts surrounding objects | Ensure that the space around the unit is clean and open, and that the unit body does not touch other objects (such as wires, sundries, etc.) | |
Unit installation is loose | Re-confirm that the feet of the unit are firmly installed, no nuts in loose and no feet are impending | |
9 Cooling capacity cannot meet load demand | Low condensing pressure | Low Ambient Kit (BOM-*81) should be selected in extremely low ambient areas, check if the fan speed control is normal |
The unit is operating normally | Check if the unit operating is normal by checking if high pressure, low pressure, current, discharge temperature, return gas temperature, oil temperature are within a normal range. If yes, it is possible that the outdoor or indoor equipment selection is too small, and the system needs to be redesigned. | |
Unit protection | Refer to above related content for detailed system check | |
The compressor itself is working abnormally | Refer to section 1 [Compressor does not start] for detailed system check] | |
Flash gas before system expansion valve | The liquid line should be full of liquid before expansion valve (sight glass should be installed before the expansion valve) | |
Liquid supply pipe insulation for units with PHE | The liquid supply pipe should be well insulated for units with PHE | |
System lack of refrigerant | 1, the sight glass should be full glass liquid 2, (for units with PHE) The liquid pipe should have sufficient subcooling, check whether the charge is insufficient and whether the system is leaking. If the system leaks, need to find leaking point and fix it |
|
Abnormal application status | Check the working status of the evaporator, check if the cooler's door is closed, check the goods temperature when putting into the cooler | |
10 Controller has no display | Circuit breaker cannot be turned on after closing | When the breaker is closed, the breaker has 380V input voltage and output voltage Any line-to-neutral voltage is 220VAC |
Natural wiring error | Whether the two fuses next to the contactor are damaged | |
Broken fuse | Measure whether the transformer input has 220V voltage and whether the output has 24V voltage. If the output is abnormal, replace the transformer. | |
Transformer damage | Power off and power on the unit, after re-start the controller, if the fault disappears, the fault can be ignored. If the fault continues, replace the controller | |
11 Controller does not work | Controller code does not change or garbled | Check if the fan blade is damaged |
Controller failure | Check if fan motor malfunctions | |
Check if the fan capacitor is damaged | ||
If above causes are excluded, replace the controller | ||
12 The condenser fan is not running, or in abnormal operation | Controller H25 parameter setting error | Controller H25 parameter setting error |
The condensing fan speed control is based on the condensing temperature collected, when condensing temperature sensor failures, will use ambient temperature sensor for speed control, if both sensors fail, the fan will be fully open. Refer to the sensor temperature-resistance characteristics table in this manual | ||
13 Code "E20" or "L20" three-phase phase missing | The phase sequence of the unit incoming 3-ph lines is incorrect | Check the label of the unit and check whether the parameters of the controller H25 are set correctly. The three-phase power is set to Yes and the single-phase is No. Please pay special attention to this after replacing the controller |
14 Code "L21" three-phase phase Fault | Controller three-phase error | Check the three-phase incoming line of the unit and exchange the two phases of the breaker input line. |
Check whether the three-phase input of R, S, T in the lower left corner of the controller is consistent with the phase sequence on the terminal of the compressor (U, V, W). Take special attention when replacing a new controller. |
Fault phenomenon | Direct cause | Inspection analysis and adjustment |
15 Code "E28" controller outputs digital compressor operation instructions, No current detected | Built-in compressor protection | Measure the resistance between the terminals of the compressor to determine if the resistance is infinite and whether the three-phase resistance is balanced. After the compressor is fully cooled, try to start again. If normal operation can be performed again, please refer to [Compressor overcurrent], [Discharge pressure high protection], [Suction pressure low protection] and [Discharge gas overheating] to perform detailed system checks. |
Compressor motor burned | Measure the resistance between the terminals of the compressor. If it is confirmed that the compressor is faulty, replace the compressor. After restarting, you must refer to [Compressor overcurrent], [Discharge pressure high protection], [Suction pressure low protection], [Discharge gas overheating] to perform detailed system checks. | |
Compressor mechanical failure | Measure the resistance between the terminals of the compressor. If it is confirmed that the compressor is faulty, replace the compressor. After restarting, you must refer to [Compressor overcurrent], [Discharge pressure high protection], [Suction pressure low protection], [Discharge gas overheating] to perform detailed system checks. | |
16 Code "E23/L23" Digital Compressor Over current alarm or lock | Contactor and wiring fault | Check the three-phase voltage at the lower end of the contactor to determine whether there is loose or virtual connection, and replace the contactor. |
Controller failure | Replace the controller. | |
Controller current protection setting wrong | Check whether the controller H07/H09 (digital compressor) and H27/H28 (fix speed compressor) parameter values are consistent with the unit label. Especially when replacing a new controller, adjust the controller parameters to match the unit's labeling requirements. | |
Code "E31/L31" Fix Speed Compressor Over current alarm or lock | Contactor failure | Check the three-phase voltage at the lower end of the contactor to determine whether there is loose or virtual, resulting in excessive current due to missing phase. |
Internal damage to the compressor | Check the actual operating current of the compressor, and determine whether the operating current is too high by refering to the high and low pressures. | |
17 Code "E03"(digital compressor), "E07"(fix speed compressor) discharge line temperature sensor error | Discharge line temperature sensor falls out or is not heat insulated well | Check if the temperature sensor is out or the heat insulation is not good |
The sensor itself fails | It is recommended to replace the temperature sensor directly | |
18 Code "E01" Suction pressure transducer failure | Actual suction pressure exceeds the transducer measuring range | Find out why the pressure is abnormal, like if there is no refrigerant in the system, or if the refrigerant is too much, so the pressure in the suction is too high. |
Pressure is normal, sensor connection or sensor itself fails | Check if the sensor wiring is normal and there is no blockage in the pressure tube where the sensor is located. Try replacing the sensor to see if it can eliminate the fault. | |
19 Code "L86" Controller internal memory EEPROM is abnormal | Controller internal memory is abnormal | Check whether the external device has remote communication with the controller, and whether there is any abnormality in the remote communication wiring and signal transmission. If the signal continues to be written into the controller, it will cause its memory to be damaged, and each writing requires a write completion instruction. Try to restart the controller if it can be solved. After the above troubleshooting, if the controller is still abnormal, replace the controller. |
