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 HGX4 -CO manufactured by Bock. The compressor is intended for use with CO in sub-critical 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...
2| Product description 2.1 Short description • Semi-hermetic four-cylinder reciprocating compressor with suction-gas cooled drive motor. • Flange-mounted drive motor on the compressor case. • The stream of refrigerant sucked out of the evaporator flows over the motor and cools it intensively. In this way, the motor can be kept at a relatively low temperature level, particularly under high loads Transport eyelet Valve plate...
3| Areas of application 3.1 Refrigerants • CO R744 3.2 Oil charge The compressors are filled at the factory with the following oil type: Bock C 85 E (only this oil may be used) ATTENTION! The oil level must be in the visible part of the sight glass; damage max. oil level to the compressor is possible if min. oil level overfilled or underfilled! Fig.
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.
4| Compressor assembly 4.5 Operating the shut-off valves Before opening or closing the shut-off valve, release the valve spindle seal by approx. ¼ of a turn counter-clockwise. After activating the shut-off valve, re-tighten the adjustable valve spindle seal clockwise. Release Tighten Valve spindle seal Fig.
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 5.2 Standard motor, design for direct or partial winding start Designation on the name plate Sticker on the terminal box Y/YY Compressors with this marking are suitable for direct or partial winding start. The motor winding is subdivided into two parts: Partial winding 1 = 66% and part winding 2 = 33%. This winding division reduces the start-up current needed for a part winding start to approx.
5| Electrical connection 5.4 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. Readiness to operate is signalled by the H3 LED (green) after the power supply is applied.
5| Electrical connection 5.6 Function test of the trigger unit MP 10 Before start-up, troubleshooting or making changes to the control power circuit, check the functionality of the trigger unit: LED H1 LED H2 LED H3 Procedure green • Interrupt power supply (L1 or S1) •...
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.
6| Commissioning 6.4 Evacuation ATTENTION! Do not start the compressor if it is under vacuum. Do not apply any voltage - even for test purposes (must only be operated with refrigerant). Under vacuum, the spark-over and creepage current distances of the terminal board connection bolts shorten;...
6| Commissioning 6.6 Start-up WARNING! Ensure that both shut-off valves are open before starting the compressor! Check that the safety and protection devices (pressure switch, motor protection, electrical contact protection measures, etc.) are functioning properly. Switch on the compressor and let it run for at least 10 minutes. The machine should reach a state of equilibrium.
6| Commissioning 6.8 Avoid slugging ATTENTION! Slugging can result in damage to the compressor and cause refrigerant to leak. To prevent slugging: The complete refrigeration plant must be properly designed. All components must be compatibly rated with each other with regard to output (particularly the evaporator and expansion valves).
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. Prevent air from infiltrating the system! After maintenance has been performed: Connect safety switch. Evacuate compressor. Release switch-on lock. 7.2 Work to be carried out In order to guarantee optimum operational reliability and service life of the compressor, we recommend carrying out servicing and inspection work at regular intervals: Oil change: not mandatory for factory-produced series systems.

7| Maintenance 7.6 Decommissioning Close the shut-off valves on the compressor. CO does not need to be recycled and can therefore be blown off into the environment. It is essential to ensure good ventilation or conduct the CO into the outdoors to avoid danger of suffocation. When releasing CO2, avoid a fast drop in pressure to prevent oil from exiting with it.
DECLARATION OF INSTALLATION for using the compressors within the European Union (in accordance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) The manufacturer: GEA Bock GmbH, Benzstraße 7 72636 Frickenhausen, Tel.: 07022/9454-0 hereby declares that the refrigerating compressor HGX4 -CO complies with the basic require- ments of Appendix II 1B of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
