DESCRIPTION
Carlyle’s 5F & H compressors have been considered industry workhorses for over 50 years.
These compressors combine high efficiency and durability with complete serviceability. Carlyle
has reviewed the application of these compressors in commercial refrigeration with our valued
customers and made a number of changes to make them even easier to apply. Carlyle will begin
accepting orders in August 2002. Contact your Carlyle Regional Sales Manager on pricing
or availability.

NEW MODELS WITHOUT PRESSURE SWITCHES

Historically Carlyle has only offered the 5F & H models with the high, low and oil safety
switches attached to the compressor with capillary tubes connecting the switch to the respective
pressure reading areas on the compressor. This has been a concern for our refrigeration
customers who prefer to use switches without capillary tube connections. In an effort to better

serve these customers, we are now offering the 5F & H models without the switches. The new
models are listed below:

It should be noted in light of our new product offering, Carlyle is requiring the OEM
manufacturers to supply their own UL approved high, low and oil safety switches as a condition
of warranty. In addition the switches must have trip settings within Carlyle’s approved range for
the application. For high, low and oil safety pressure switches – see current 5F & H Installation,
Startup and Service Instructions. For customers wishing to continue using the existing high, low
and oil safety switches, accessory packages with cap tubes will be available. The current oil
safety switch package is 5F20-212. An additional accessory High/Low pressure switch package
is now being set-up that includes the mounting bracket and hardware. The part number of this
new package is 5H40-A722.
All the 5F models and the 5H40, 5H46 and 5H60 models have been UL Listed. The larger 5H66
through 5H126 compressors do not have UL or CSA approval. This old UL Listing required
compressors be shipped by us with high-pressure switches. The new 5F’s and 5H40 through
5H60 models without pressure switches will continue to be supplied with UL Listing & CSA
code approvals but the OEM will be required to supply a UL/CSA approved high pressure switch
to maintain these approvals. The UL Listing and CSA approval is covered in the UL file below,
due to harmonized codes between the United States and Canada. All the 5F & H compressors are
also ISO 9002 registered. The code approvals are shown in the following files:
UL File number – SA5605
CSA File number – SA5605
ISO 9002 Certificate Number A2899

FACTORY INSTALLED WATER-COOLED HEADS

Applications with Refrigerant 22 at higher compression ratio’s, such as low temperature
refrigeration, require the use of water cooled cylinder heads to keep the compressor internal
temperatures within acceptable operating limits. In the past this water-cooled head accessory
package was added in the field or at our OEM customer’s facility. We are now adding a factory-
installed option. Shown below are the new compressor model and package part numbers that
offer this feature.

Note the above models supplied with water-cooled heads do not have high, low or oil safety
switches supplied with them. As noted in the prior section, Carlyle requires the OEM
manufacturers to supply their own UL approved switches or use the switches shown in the 5F20-
212 and 5H40-A722 accessory packages. The OEM should also set the high, low and oil safety
switch to settings recommended in Carlyle’s 5F & H Installation, Startup and Service
Instructions. Carlyle has maintained the code approvals with these new water-cooled head
models on the models 5F and 5H40 through 5H60 models.

NEW 5H40 TO 5H86 MODELS FOR EXTERNAL CAPACITY CONTROL

Carlyle compressor is introducing 5H40, 46, 60,
66, 80, and 86 compressor models that have been
specifically set up for operation with external
capacity control.
The Carlyle 5F/H open drive compressors all have
built-in capacity control that gives excellent part
load performance. The compressors can be
unloaded in steps to allow the compressor capacity
to match the system load. This not only improves
system energy efficiency, but also helps to keep
the air or product temperature more uniform.
For air conditioning applications, the Figure 1 – Capacity Control – 5H40, 60, 66, 80, 86
compressors have a built-in unloader
control that operates off of suction pressure
(Figure 1). As the suction pressure changes at the unloader set point, the compressor will load or
unload. This unloader mechanism operates satisfactorily for air-conditioning, but the 11-psi
pressure swing between completely loaded to unloaded is too large for most refrigeration duty or
process cooling applications.
In this application, system designers have utilized our external 3-way capacity control system
(Figure 2). This allows finer pressure control to keep the process or refrigerated product at the
proper temperature.

To adapt the current 5H40 to 5H86 models, the OEM
has been required to deactivate the compressor’s
built-in suction pressure capacity control by adding a
blank off plate.
The new models will avoid this requirement by
eliminating the components required for suction
pressure capacity control. This will also avoid the
potential for any possible internal or external leaks of
these components.
Shown in Figures 2 and 3 is an outline of the new
5H40 to 86 compressor pump cover and bearing
head. All the connections will be available for Figure 2 – Bearing Head Pump Assembly
external capacity control connections.
A label will be supplied with these new models warning
the compressors must have external capacity control (or
external tubing connected from the oil pump to all the
unloader part connections) to operate the compressor at
full load. Otherwise the compressor will operate
permanently unloaded and this can damage the
compressor.
The new external capacity control models can be
converted back to the current suction pressure
unloading models by installing the 5H40-A564 Figure 3
pump end cover and control valve assembly.
Warning – this model must have the
The new models built for external capacity control external capacity control connected or the
will also be supplied without pressure switches. The compressor will operate fully unloaded!
OEM must supply their own UL-approved high, low
and oil switches. See the recommendations in the earlier section. The 5H40 though 5H60 models
will also continue to maintain their UL recognition on these new models.
Carlyle is also offering this option with water-cooled heads. The part numbers below give the
package numbers that should be used to order these new models for external capacity control
(with or without water-cooled heads).
