    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 immediately cause fairly severe or minor injury.
  • Page 5: Intended Use

    1| Safety 1.3 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.
  • Page 6: Product Description

    2| Product description 2.1 Short description • Semi-hermetic four-cylinder reciprocating compressor with suction-gas cooled drive motor. • The flow of refrigerant sucked in from the evaporator is led over the engine and provides for a particularly intensive cooling. Thus the engine can be kept special during high load on a relatively low temperature level.

    3.3 Limits of application ATTENTION Compressor operation is possible within the operating limits. These can be found in GEA Bock compressor selection tool (VAP) under vap.gea.com. Observe the information given there. - Permissible ambient temperature (-20°C) - (+60°C).
  • Page 9: Compressor Assembly

    4| Compressor assembly INFO New compressors are factory-filled with inert gas. Leave this service charge in the compressor for as long as possible and pre- vent the ingress of air. Check the compressor for transport damage before starting any work. 4.1 Storage and transportation Storage at (-30°C) - (+70°C), maximum permissible relative humidity 10% -95 %, no condensation.

    4| Compressor assembly 4.3 Pipe connections ATTENTION Damage possible Superheating can damage the valve. Remove the pipe supports therefore from the valve for soldering/ welding. Only soldering/welding using inert gas to inhibit oxida- tion products (scale). The pipe connections have graduated inside diameters so that pipes with standart millimetre and inch dimensions can be used.

  • Page 19: Oil Sump Heater (Accessories) D

    5| Electrical connection 5.7 Oil sump heater (accessories) In order to avoid damage to the compressor, the compressor must be equipped with an oil sump heater. ATTENTION The oil sump heater must generally be connected and operated. When the compressor is at a standstill, refrigerant diffuses into the lubricating oil of the compressors housing, depending on pressure and ambient temperature.
  • Page 20: Preparations For Start-Up

    6| Commissioning 6.1 Preparations for start-up INFO To protect the compressor against inadmissible operating conditions, high pressure and low pressure pressostats 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.
  • Page 21: Evacuation

    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;...
  • Page 22: Start-Up

    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.
  • Page 23: Avoiding Slugging

    6| Commissioning 6.8 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). Suction gas superheat at the compressor input should be 15 K.
  • Page 24: Maintenance

    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.
