The Protocol Distributed System Concept.

The Protocol concept utilizes compact multiple compressor refrigeration units enclosed in
attractive housings. Unlike back room systems, individual Protocol units are “distributed”
throughout the store, close to the display case loads being refrigerated.

The new Protocol High Efficiency series now incorporates vapor injected (ZFKV) scroll
compressors for low temperature applications, and the ZBKC series of scroll compressors
for medium temperature. This combination of scroll compressors results in the most efficient
refrigeration system available in the industry today.

Protocol was named after
the Montreal Protocol where
worldwide CFC phase-out
schedules were first adopted.
Protocol HE advantages.
- Reduces refrigerant charge, normally by 60-80%.
- Uses approximately 50-75% less refrigerant piping.
- Requires approximately 50-75% fewer braze joints.
- Lessens likelihood of refrigerant leaks.
- Uses hfc refrigerants. No cfc or hcfc refrigerants needed.
- Eliminates or decreases the need for eprs.
- Eliminates the need for a machine room and associated costs.
- Lowers installation costs.
- Provides back-up protection and load matching with
multiplexed compressors.
- Off-time, modular, electric or gas defrost.
- Air- or water-cooled.
- Energy cost savings over most traditional back room systems.

HFC refrigerants.
The Protocol High Efficiency series systems are designed
specifically for R404a/R507 HFC refrigerants.

in a parallel configuration. The economizer cycle have been specifically designed for HFC
enhances the system performance by sub-cooling medium temperature application. The design
the liquid refrigerant via “mid-pocket” interstage has been optimized to provide improved
injection. Traditionally, this feature has only been efficiency at lower condensing temperatures
available on large commercial screw compressors, while maintaining efficiency and capacity
but is now available with vapor injected at typical design conditions.
