ATTENTION Compressor operation is possible within the limits of application
shown	in	the	diagrams.	Please	note	the	significance	of	the	shaded	
areas. The limits of application must be observed. Thresholds 
should not be selected as design or continuous operating points.
 - Max. permissible discharge end temperature: 140°C
 - Max. permissible ambient temperature: 100°C
	-	Max.	permissible	switching	frequency:	12	x	/h
	-	A	 minimum	 running	 time	 of	 2	 min.	 at	 equilibrium	 (continuous	 
operation) must be achieved.
Avoid continuous operation near the threshold. Should the com-
pressor happen to be used near the thresholds, we recommend the 
use	of	a	thermal	protection	thermostat	(Accessories,	Chap.	7).
When capacity regulators are used, the limits of application can
move.
When operating in the vacuum range, there is a danger of air en-
tering on the suction side. This can cause chemical reactions, a 
pressure rise in the condenser and an elevated compressed-gas 
temperature. Prevent the ingress of air at all costs!
3| Areas of application
The compressors are factory-filled with the following oil type:
- for R134a, R404A/R507, R407C
FUCHS Reniso Triton SE 55
- for R22
FUCHS Reniso SP 46
Compressors	with	ester	oil	charge	(FUCHS	Reniso	Triton	SE	55)	are	marked	with	an	X	in	the	type
designation (e.g.	FK
X40/655 N).
