Danfoss MLZ015T5LP9 Scroll Compressor (121L8630) | 2 HP | 20,708 BTU/h | Single-Phase R404A

Danfoss MLZ015T5LP9A (Danfoss code: 121L8630) is a 2 HP single-phase Maneurop scroll compressor for light commercial refrigeration. It is the smallest body in the MLZ family; it runs on a 220-240V / 1~ / 50Hz single-phase supply — no three-phase power required. With high-efficiency scroll technology it runs quietly, with low vibration and a long service life. At HBP conditions (+7.2°C / +54.4°C, R404A) it delivers approximately 20,708 BTU/h (~6.07 kW) of cooling capacity; it is charged with POE oil.

2 HP Single-Phase Danfoss Maneurop Scroll Compressor

The MLZ015T5LP9 is used in supermarket-type coolers, display cabinets, cold rooms and medium/high temperature commercial refrigeration systems. It has 3/4" suction and 1/2" discharge ODF (copper solder) connections and is designed with integrated motor protection and a run capacitor (40 µF PSC).

Technician Tips

• Single-phase advantage: In businesses without a three-phase line, it connects directly to the 220-240V mains; commission it with a separate contactor (305C9/305C11) and run capacitor.
• Protect the body with a heat sink during brazing; braze the connections under nitrogen.
• Fit a filter drier for system moisture/acid control; POE oil is hygroscopic, so complete the installation quickly.
• It is intended for MT/HT applications; do not use it in low evaporating temperature (LBP) deep freezer applications.
