Post-Startup Checklist
1. Did the compressor oil pressure increase immediately?
2. Are oil pressure gauges and oil filter differential indicator working properly?
Note: Typically the oil filter element(s) are changed after about 24 – 48 hours of initial operation.
3. Is low oil pressure shutdown set at a minimum of 30 psig falling? Is the frame oil pressure regulating valve (PRV) adjusted to
45 to 55 psig for a normal oil temperature (150 – 170°F)?
4. Check oil level in crankcase. Adjust oil level as required.
5. Were there any unusual noises or vibrations observed with the compressor or piping? If yes, then shutdown compressor to
investigate and correct as required.
6. Have high discharge gas temperature shutdowns been adjusted to normal operating conditions?
Note: Correct settings are about 10% greater than normal discharge temperature but not to exceed 25°F (14°C) or cylinder's
350°F (177°C) limit.
7. Is the cylinder lubrication divider block(s) visual indicator pin moving or LED light flashing?
8. Is pump set at maximum rate for break-in? Seconds/stroke
9. Are there any oil or process gas leaks? If yes, then shutdown compressor and correct as required.
10. Has piston rod packing begun to seal?
11. Have all package and compressor safety devices been reset to ensure unit shutdown if a malfunction occurs?
12. Have all scrubber liquid level controls been inspected for proper operation and liquid removal?
How often do they dump? (
13. Have discharge bottle support systems been readjusted to support the cylinder/bottle in a hot operating condition?
14. Has drive alignment been checked, and adjustments made after reaching normal operating temperature, and operating
temperatures have stabilized?
Note: Alignment is usually verified within 500 hours of initial operation, about 3 weeks after startup.
15. Has this "Startup Report" been completed and a copy mailed to the GE HSR compressor address on the 1
