4| Description of functions The refrigerant suctioned out of the evaporator (21) is compressed by the 4 cylinders of the LP stage (2) to intermediate pressure MP. After that, the superheated refrigerant flows through the intermediate pressure chamber (3), where it is cooled by the liquid subcooler system to reduce the discharge end temperature. The refrigerant then flows through the intermediate pressure line (4) to the electric motor of the compressor for to cool the motor. After this, the refrigerant is suctioned in by the two HP cylinders (5) and compressed to the final pressure. Liquid subcooler system The liquid subcooler system consists of the components - liquid subcooler (plate heat exchanger) (6) - expansion valve (7) - sight glasses (8, 9) - solenoid valve (10) - filter drier (11) After the refrigerant reciever (16), the liquid line will be splitted into two lines: Line A leads through the liquid subcooler (6) and the subcooled refrigerant flows to the evaporator (21). Through Line B refrigerant is expanding through the expansion valve (7) into the liquid subcooler (6) in order to subcool the refrigerant of line A and through the intermediate pressure line (MP) to cool the superheated refrigerant, which is compressed from low pressure to intermediate...

Only solder using inert gas to inhibit oxidation products (scale). The pipe connections have graduated inside diameters so that pipes with standart millimetre and inch dimensions can be used.
5| Compressor assembly 5.6 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. 5.7 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 of the system.

6| 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! C onnect the compressor motor in accordance with the circuit diagram (see inside of terminal box). U se suitable cable entry point of the correct protection type (see name plate) for routing cables into the terminal box. I nsert the strain reliefs and prevent chafe marks on the cables.
6| Electrical connection 6.3 Standard motor, design for direct or partial winding start Designation on the name plate Sticker on the terminal box ∆ / YYY Compressors with this marking are suitable for direct or partial winding start. The motor winding is subdivided into two parts: Partial winding 1 = 60% and part winding 2 = 40%. This winding d ivision reduces the start-up current needed for a part winding start to approx. 65% of that for a direct start. INFO! A mechanical unloaded start with bypass solenoid valve is not required. In the factory, the motor is switched for direct starting (YYY). For part winding start ∆ / YYY, remove the bridges and connect the motor feed cable according to the circuit diagram: 400 V Direktstart YY Teilwicklungsstart Y/YY Direct start YYY Part winding start ∆/YYY INFO! W hen testing the winding with resistance meter, please note that part winding 1 and part winding 2 are internally connected.
6| Electrical connection 6.4 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. In the case of excess temperature in the motor winding, the unit switches off the compressor and the H1 LED lights red. The hot gas side of the compressor can also be protected against overtemperature using a thermal protection thermostat (accessory). The H2 LED (red) is provided for the protection function. The unit trips when an overload or inadmissible operating conditions occur. Find and remedy the cause.

6| Electrical connection 6.7 Oil sump heater (accessories) When the compressor is at a standstill, refrigerant diffuses into the lubrication oil of the compressor housing, depending on pressure and ambient temperature. This reduces the lubrication capacity of the oil. When the compressor starts up, the refrigerant contained in the oil evaporates out through the reduction in pressure. The consepuences can be foaming and migration of the oil, causing oil shocks under certain circumstances. Operation: The oil sump heater operates when the compressor is at a standstill. When the compressor starts up, the oil sump heating switches off. Connection: The oil sump heater must be connected via an auxiliary contact (or parallel wired Anschlussschema für Ölsumpfheizung auxiliary contact) of the compressor contactor to a separate electric circuit. Connection diagramm for oil sump heater Electrical data: 230 V - 1 - 50/60 Hz, 140 W. Plan de raccordement pour résistance de carter d‘huile Fig. 30 ATTENTION! The oil sump heater must not be connected to the electrical circuit of the safety control chain...
7| Commissioning 7.1 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! 7.2 Pressure strength test DANGER! Bursting! The compressor must only be pressurised using nitrogen ).
7| Commissioning 7.5 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. Pay attention to adequate refrigerant fill before starting up the compressor. During operation, refrigerant must be free of bubbles in sight glasses 1 and 2 of the liquid subcooler. 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. R407C) must always only be added to the refrigerating system in liquid form.
7| Commissioning 7.7 Avoiding liquid sluggings 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). Suction gas superheating at the compressor input should be min. 7 - 10 K (check the setting of the expansion valve). The system must reach a state of equilibrium. When selecting the evaporator expansion valve, pay attention to correction factors for liquid subcooling. Avoid transfer of refrigerant into the compressor when the system is at a standstill.
8| Maintenance 8.1 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. 8.2 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.
8| Maintenance 8.4 Replacing the valve plates The compressors are divided into an LP and an HP compressor stage. Different valve plate designs are required because of the different ducts in the individual compressor stages. The valve plates have been fitted with safety bolts to prevent any confusion. The safety bolts engage in the corresponding bores on the cylinder heads, the safety bolts must not be removed!
