·         Copeland Scroll™  ZO21 for R744 subcritical applications

·         Copeland Scroll™ ZF*KVE (EVI) with R407F

·         Revised R407C performance data for ZB15-45KCE-TFD except ZB19KCE

Condensing Units 3-phase:

·         Low Temperature Copeland Eazycool™ Outdoor with R407A, R407F

·         Low Temperature Copeland Scroll™ Indoor with R407A, R407F

·         Enlarged operating envelope for Copeland Eazycool™ ZXL series

It is recommended to make a full installation into a new folder.

Select 8, the on-line version of the Selection Software will shortly be updated to include these changes. You will also soon find additional functionalities in Select 8 including compressor packs and customised selection list parameters. Check it out at http://selectonline.emersonclimate.eu. The ability to choose a refrigerant, and operating conditions, list families of products such as scroll compressors or outdoor condensing units will be familiar to Select 7 users. The user can fully explore model ranges in just the same way as in Select 7. A special version to suit hand-held Smartphones has been developed so that users can access Select 8 any time they are connected.

Moisture Indicators for Refrigeration Systems

Moisture indicators are designed to provide an accurate method of determining the moisture content of a system’s refrigerant. The HMI is the highest sensitivity moisture indicator available and it detect moisture at 3% relative humidity (RH) providing plenty of time to make necessary adjustments before any damage is done. The Emerson AMI moisture indicator features a take-apart design for easier repair and the A-IHL saddle design moisture indicator is ideal for large diameter tubing.

Traditionally, moisture indicators have been green/yellow wafers that said the system was either “dry” (green) or “wet” (yellow). But, this simply does not go far enough. Here’s why.

All moisture indicators share one common objective: to sense and report just how much water is in the system’s circulating refrigerant. A paper wafer in a sight glass changes color as the moisture content reaches potentially damaging levels. Those traditional green/yellow indicators do not, however, show percentage increases along the way; that is, they do not provide any true insight into the ongoing increases in moisture content. They simply announce, for example, that the system is “wet.” And by the time this “wet” indication is made, it may be too late to avoid damage to the compressor or other system components. There are other shortcomings as well. The green/yellow moisture indicators work only at higher levels of moisture, about  10% relative humidity (RH). Paper indicators are susceptible to damage from brazing during installation. And their color can actually wash out under wet conditions, leaving behind a useless piece of blank paper.

Moisture Indicator (HMI), the most sensitive indicator on the market. Instead of the old green/yellow papers, the HMI features a tri-color molded disk wafer dial with blue (dry), purple (caution) and pink (wet) indications.  The addition of the purple caution color alone gives the HMI a critical advantage over previous indicators. It alerts technicians early on to rising moisture levels, allowing them to take corrective action before any damage occurs. And as the colors continue to change as moisture content rises, the HMI allows those same technicians to determine conditions more accurately, taking the guesswork out of their monitoring activities. But the real benefit to the HMI is its ability to read moisture at levels far below current industry standards. The HMI actually begins to change color at 2% RH — a “very dry” indication. At 3% RH, the purple caution color begins to appear. Competitive indicators, on the other hand, do not even begin changing colors until about 7% to 8% RH.  That early detection capability was not as important with old HCFC and CFC refrigerants. But it will be vital with the coming HFCs. That’s because HFCs utilize polyol ester (POE) oils. And because POE oil can attract and hold up to 20 times more moisture than mineral oil used by older refrigerants, the systems will require closer monitoring than ever before to detect contamination.

The Hermetic Moisture Indicator works by utilizing a unique salt that holds more water than a traditional green/yellow indicator salt. This salt also changes through a wider color range than the green/yellow salt. Additionally, the indicator itself is thicker, and together these attributes allow for a wide range of rich colors that enhance the ability to better understand the amount of water in the refrigerant. In addition, the HMI, along with all other moisture indicators, does not simply sense parts per million (ppm) of water in a system. Instead, it measures relative humidity. This is a significant distinction. Why? Because, for example, a reading of 50 ppm in R12 is extremely dangerous, while 50 ppm in R-410A is not. The difference is in the refrigerants. The new refrigerants, along with their POE oils, can physically hold more water; and since they operate at low ppms, this translates into extremely low relative humidity levels, in the 2% to 7% RH range.


There is a misconception across the HVACR industry that 10% RH moisture detection is sufficient. That’s an assumption that can lead to a dangerous — and expensive — false sense of security. At 3% RH in many HFCs, a green/yellow indicator will show a green color, pronouncing the system is still “dry.” In fact, it is actually at risk of acid formation from the breakdown of the POE oil. At 10% RH moisture detection, the system has already been contaminated with moisture and acids, and will need to be cleaned. That could mean anything from replacing the filter-drier and exchanging some or all of the oil in the system, to replacing a compressor or multiple compressors. Actually, the old green/yellow indicators show a “dry” reading as high as 7% RH. And a 7% RH reading in R-410A means there are nearly 300 ppm of water present. Emerson Climate Technologies’ studies have shown that acid begins forming at approximately 75 ppm, when water starts to turn POE oils back into acid. That means the newer refrigerants, with their high moisture content, see severe problems to the lubricant at 100 ppm.  Any acid formation can be a problem, of course. So detecting moisture content as soon as possible is crucial to protecting the life of the system. Again, traditional green/yellow indicators fall short. By the time the indicator goes off, damage is already occurring to the lubricant. So it’s an indication that doesn’t actually indicate anything.

The HMI even differs from moisture indicators that use similar technologies. For starters, the HMI is currently the only sight glass on the market that is UL-listed with a 680 psig maximum working pressure, making it acceptable for use in R-410A. Also, it has a larger viewing window for easier visibility and charging. It is resistant to “wash out” from water and can withstand brazing temperatures up to 450 F. (The green/yellow paper wafer of traditional indicators can be damaged at temperatures as low as 350 F.)

The HMI’s fully hermetic design includes a corrosion-resistant, all-brass body with no o-rings or knife seals that are likely to leak. The indicator also features solid copper fittings for easy, universal replacement or new installation.
