1| Safety 1.1 Identification of safety instructions: Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not DANGER! avoided, will cause immediate fatal or serious injury. Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not WARNING! avoided, may cause fatal or serious injury. Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not CAUTION! avoided, may cause fairly severe or minor injury. Indicates a situation which, if not ATTENTION! avoided, may cause property damage. INFO! Important information or tips on simplifying work. 1.2 Qualifications required of personnel WARNING! I nadequately qualified personnel poses the risk of accidents, the consequence being serious or fatal injury. Work on compressors must therefore only be performed by personnel with the qualifica- tions listed below: • F or example, a refrigeration technician, refrigeration mechatron-...
1| Safety 1.4 Intended use These assembly instructions describe the standard version of the HG34P manufactured by Bock. The compressor is intended for use in refrigeration systems in compliance with the limits of application. Only the refrigerant specified in these instructions may be used. Any other use of the compressor is prohibited! WARNING! The compressor may not be used in potentially explosive environments! The Bock refrigerating compressor named in the title is intended for installing in a machine (within...

4| Compressor assembly INFO! New compressors are factory-filled with inert gas (3 bar nitrogen). Leave this service charge in the compressor for as long as possible and prevent the ingress of air. Check the compressor for transport damage before starting any work. 4.1 Setting up Use transport eyelet. Do not lift manually! Use lifting gear! Fig.
4| Compressor assembly 4.3 Pipes Pipes and system components must be clean and dry inside and free of scale, swarf and layers of rust and phosphate. Only use air-tight parts. Lay pipes correctly. Suitable vibration compensators must be provided to prevent pipes being cracked and broken by severe vibrations. Ensure a proper oil return. Keep pressure losses to an absolute minimum. 4.4 Laying suction and pressure lines INFO! Proper layout of the suction and pressure lines directly after the compressor is integral to the smooth running and vibration behaviour...

5| Electrical connection Electrical connection DANGER! H igh voltage! Risk of electric shock! Only carry out work when the electrical system is disconnected from the power supply! INFO! Connect the compressor motor in accordance with the circuit diagram (see inside of terminal box). Use suitable cable entry point of the correct protection type (see name plate) for routing cables into the terminal box.
5| Electrical connection 5.4 Start unloader To avoid current peaks during the starting phase we recommend using the Bock-ESS soft starting device (Electronic Soft Start). Refer to "Accessories" for further information. 5.5 Electronic trigger unit MP 10 The compressor motor is fitted with cold conductor temperature sensors (PTC) connected to the electronic trigger unit MP 10 in the terminal box.

6| Commissioning 6.1 Preparations for start-up INFO! In order to protect the compressor against inadmissible operating conditions, high-pressure and low-pressure pressostats controls are mandatory on the installation side. The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested. There are therefore no special running-in instructions. Check the compressor for transport damage! 6.2 Pressure strength test WARNING! The compressor must never be pressurised using oxygen or other...
6| Commissioning 6.5 Refrigerant charge CAUTION! Wear personal protective clothing such as goggles and protective gloves! Make sure that the suction and pressure line shut-off valves are open. With the compressor switched off, add the liquid refrigerant directly to the condenser or receiver, breaking the vacuum. If the refrigerant needs topping up after starting the compressor, it can be topped up in vapour form on the suction side, or, taking suitable precautions, also in liquid form at the inlet to the evaporator. INFO! Avoid overfilling the system with refrigerant! I n order to prevent shifts in concentration, zeotropic refrigerant blends (e.g.
6| Commissioning 6.8 Connection of oil level regulator The connection "O" is provided for installing an oil level regulator. A corresponding adapter must be obtained from the trade. 7| Maintenance 7.1 Preparation WARNING! Before starting any work on the compressor: Switch off the compressor and secure it to prevent a restart. Relieve compressor of system pressure.
7| Maintenance 7.4 Accessories Available accessories can be found on the Internet at www.bock.de. 7.5 Extract from the lubricants table The oil type filled as standard in the factory is marked on the name plate . This oil type should be used as a preference. Alternatives are stated in the extract from our lubricants table below. Refrigerants Bock standard oil types Recommended alternatives...
