2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection g) Attach the O-ring gland [326-1] on the low-stage bearing head where is the part of the unloader push rod protruding. Attach two O-rings [325] and four backup rings [419] alternately on the two O-ring grooves in the O-ring gland inner circumference.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.4 Installing the Rotors The rotor must be sufficiently reworked. If any slight flaw is observed on the shaft surface in the area of attaching the bearing and mechanical seal assembly, use a sand paper to correct and finish the surface. After finishing the surface to attach the seal, apply protective tape on the surface.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.5 Suction Cover and Side Bearings Similarly to the main bearing, the side bearing (O-ring type) [28] is machined to the size that will allow light press fitting to the suction cover [5]. In addition as is the case with the O-ring for the main bearing, the size of the O-ring for the low-stage side bearing has been changed to JIS B 2401 G200 from G210 according to the design modification.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.6 Installing the Suction Cover Both of the high-stage and low-stage suction cover gaskets [6] are not symmetrically shaped. Also, as shown in Figure 5-19, there are three type gaskets in the same sizing. Be careful not to use a wrong gasket.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.7 Balance Piston and Balance Piston Sleeve Install the balance piston sleeve to the high-stage suction cover, and install the balance piston on the M rotor shaft end portion of the high-stage suction cover side. The installation of the balance piston sleeve may be done either before the suction cover installation to the main rotor casing.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.8.1 High-stage Block As described in Section 5.4.11, for the high-stage thrust bearings, two types of bearings, i.e. the ball bearing and the tilting pad thrust bearing, is used according to the working fluid, requirements of the use of the package unit and the applicable standard.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.8.2 Low-stage Block The TPTB (Tilting Pad Thrust Bearing) is used as the low-stage thrust bearing. The TPTB for M rotor and the TPTB for F rotor are the same in outer diameter and inner diameter, but are different in lengths.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.8.3 End Clearance Measurement At this point (i.e., after the thrust bearing block has been fully assembled), measure the clearance between the bearing head end face and the rotor end face on the discharge side. This clearance is called as the end clearance.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection d) Then, read the dial gauge indication. This value shows the actual end clearance. If the end clearance is outside the specified value, perform the adjustment work described in the next section. If the end clearance is within the specified value, turn the M rotor shaft by hand and confirm the smooth turning without uneven tightening.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.9 Balance Piston Cover and High-stage Unloader Cylinder a) Install the unload spacer [420] attached two O-rings [421] in the inner circumference grooves on the high-stage unloader push rod [67-2]. This unload spacer is used as high-stage load capacity adjustment (minimum 30 % load) to prevent overload of the driving machine at the time of compressor start-up.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.10 Bearing Cover Before installing the bearing cover [16], check that the teeth of the lock washers of the thrust bearing part have been properly bent to prevent rotation and that the hexagon head bolts fastening the thrust bearing gland are with spring washers.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.12 Low-stage Unloader Cylinder The installation of the low-stage unloader cylinder may be done either after the bearing cover installation described in Section 5.5.10 or after the assembly of the shaft seal block. Check that the O-ring [73-1] is inserted in the O-ring groove on the tip of the unloader push rod [67-1], at the position where the unloader piston is installed.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.13 Unloader Cover [Low-stage] [High-stage] Figure 5-23 Unloader Cover Block Use eye bolts to move the unloader piston back and forth to check the normal operation again. Assemble the ball bearing [78] on the shaft portion of the indicator cam [77]. When fitting the bearing onto the shaft, push the inner race of the bearing.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.14 Coupling the High-stage and Low-stage Blocks Both high-stage and low-stage, install the drive hub [152] and shaft key [157] on the M rotor axis. Attach the external snap ring [187] to retain the drive hub. Figure 5-24 Gear Coupling Block Fasten the M10 hexagon socket set screw [159] to retain the shaft key [157].
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.15 Unloader Indicator The unloader indicator is implemented with two micro-switches, a micro-switch cam, and a potentiometer. These parts are used to detect the change in the rotation angle of the indicator cam shaft, which converts the axial position change of the unloader slide valve into rotational position change, convert the change into an electric signal, and send the signal to the package unit and/or the controller of the refrigeration system.
2201Q4JE-MY-C9-N_2018.01. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.15.2 Micro-switches and Micro-switch Cam The unloader indicator uses two micro-switches [125] and one micro-switch cam [127] to detect the commanded 0% (30% for the high-stage) and 100% capacity control positions of the unloader slide valve.
