Do your products have a CE marking?

Most Air Squared products do not have a CE conformity marking.

Our products are primarily designed for OEMs and not intended for end users. As most OEM systems already require CE marking, conformity specific to an Air Squared product is generally not required.

OEM customers that require conformity specific to an Air Squared product should contact their Sales Representative.

How do we measure speed?

Monitoring speed is an important aspect of operating a scroll compressor or vacuum pump, as operation over the specified maximum speed can result in premature or catastrophic failure.

For scroll compressors and vacuum pumps that have a brushless DC motor, speed can be measured by connecting a digital tachometer between a hall sensor and ground. The tachometer must be programmed to the correct number of pulses per revolution, which can be determined by dividing the numbers of motor poles by 2. For example, an 8-pole motor will have 4 pulses per revolution.

Alternatively, an oscilloscope can also be used to measure the frequency of the hall sensors. Divide the measured frequency by the number of pulses per revolution and multiply by 60 to determine the RPM.

For scroll compressors and vacuum pumps that have an AC motor, speed can be measured by multiplying the frequency of the variable frequency drive (VFD) by 60 to determine the RPM.

In which direction does the motor rotate?

Looking at the face of the unit, the motor shaft for scroll compressors and scroll vacuum pumps rotates clockwise.

Where are the compressor inlet and discharge port?

Most scroll compressors have a discharge port centered on the face of the unit, with the inlet port positioned near the periphery.

Where can we find an operation manual?

Air Squared does not provide operation manuals for most products.

Given the specialized nature of our scroll products, Air Squared works directly with OEM customers to install, operate, test, evaluate, and service products. Customers who require an operation manual should contact their Sales Representative.

Do your expanders require lubricant?

Air Squared expanders can be operated either oil-free or with lubricant.

Most expanders are designed to operate oil-free, yet semi-hermetic sealing features common to all expander models make them suitable for lubricated operation as well.

In most cases, if the application allows for lubrication, it should be used. Lubrication offers a ~12% efficiency increase and extends product life.

Do your products have a CE marking?

Most Air Squared products do not have a CE conformity marking.

Our products are primarily designed for OEMs and not intended for end users. As most OEM systems already require CE marking, conformity specific to an Air Squared product is generally not required.

How do we operate with lubrication?

A lubricant is simply circulated through the expander with your working fluid.

Air Squared recommends approximately 5% (by mass) for lubricated operation. Most synthentic polyolester (POE) refrigeration lubricants should be acceptable. However, the following brand is recommended:

Emkarate RL 32H – Synthentic Polyolester Refrigeration Lubricant

Slowly inject the lubricant with inlet gas. If concerned about oil damaging components downstream, use an oil separator and sight gauge at the drainage plug in the bottom of the expander housing. If significant pooling occurs, the drainage plug can be used to drain. An oil pump can also be integrated to recirculate oil from the drainage plug to the expander inlet.

In which direction does the generator rotate?

Looking at the face of the unit, the generator for scroll expanders rotates counterclockwise.

Where are the expander inlet and discharge port?

Most scroll expanders have an inlet port centered on the face of the unit, with the discharge port positioned near the periphery.
