1| Safety 1.1 Identification of safety instructions: DANGER Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, will cause immediate fatal or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fatal or serious injury. CAUTION Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fairly severe or minor injury.
1| Safety 1.3 General safety instructions WARNING Risk of accidents. Refrigerating compressors are pressurised machines and as such call for heightened caution and care in handling. The maximum permissible overpressure must not be exceeded, even for testing purposes. Risk of burns! - Depending on the operating conditions, surface temperatures of over 60°C on the discharge side or below 0°C on the suction side can be reached.

4| Description of functions The refrigerant suctioned out of the evaporator (20) 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.

5| Compressor assembly INFO New compressors are factory-filled with inert gas. Leave this ser- vice 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. 5.1 Storage and transportation Storage at (-30°C) - (+70°C), maximum permissible relative humidity 10% -95 %, no condensation. Do not store in a corrosive, dusty, vaporous atmosphere or in a com- bustible environment.

5| Compressor assembly 5.5 Factory-installed liquid subcooler system (optional design) Liquid subcooler, expansion valve, solenoid valve and the sight glass are mounted directly at the compressor, piped and insulated. Fig.24 FUE: Liquid subcooler inlet FUA: Liquid subcooler outlet 5.6 Pipe connections ATTENTION Damage possible. Superheating can damage the valve. Remove the pipe supports therefore from the valve for soldering. 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 5.7 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.
5| Compressor assembly 5.9 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. tighten release Valve spindle seal Fig.
6| Electrical connection Electrical connection DANGER Risk of electric shock! High voltage! Only carry out work when the electrical system is disconnected from the power supply! ATTENTION When attaching accessories with an electrical cable, a minimum bending radius of 3 x the cable diameter must be maintained for laying the cable.
6| Electrical connection 6.3 Standard motor, design for direct or partial winding start Designation on the name plate Sticker on the terminal box Y/YY Y/YY Compressors with this marking are suitable for direct or partial winding start. The motor winding is subdivided into two parts: Part winding 1 = 50% and part winding 2 = 50%.
6| Electrical connection 6.4 Electronic trigger unit MP10 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.

6| Electrical connection 6.7 Oil sump heater (accessories) When the compressor is at a standstill, refrigerant diffuses into the lubricating oil of the compressors housing, depending on pressure and ambient temperature. This reduces the lubricating capacity of the oil. When the compressor starts up, the refrigerant contained in the oil evaporates out throught the reduction in pressure. The consequences can be foaming and migration of the oil, causing oil shocks under certain circumstances.
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 are manda- tory 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.
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.

7| Commissioning 7.7 Avoiding slugging ATTENTION Slugging can damage the compressor and cause refrigerant to leak. To prevent slugging: The complete refrigeration system must be properly designed. All components must be compatibly rated with each other with regard to output (particularly the evaporator and expansion valves).
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 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:...
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. WARNING 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! Installation of the valve plates: Safety bolt Safety valve...
