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: •...
Any other use of the compressor is prohibited! WARNING! The compressor may not be used in potentially explosive environments! The GEA refrigerating compressor named in the title is intended for installing in a machine (within the EU according to the EU Directives 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive, 97/23/EC Pressure Equipment Directive and 2006/95/EC – Low Voltage Directive).
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: GEA C 85 E (only this oil may be used) The oil level must be in the ATTENTION! max. visible part of the sight glass; damage to the com- oil level 0,5 Ltr.
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 Storage and transport 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.
4| Compressor assembly The pipe connections have graduated inside diameters so that pipes with standart millimetre and inch dimensions can be used. The connection diameters of the shut-off valves are rated for maximum compressor output. The actual required pipe cross section must be matched to the output.
4| Compressor assembly 4.6 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.
5| Electrical connection Electrical connection DANGER! R isk 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. INFO! Connect the compressor motor in accordance with the circuit diagram (see inside of terminal box).
5| Electrical connection 5.2 Connection of the driving motor The compressor is designed with a motor for star-delta circuits. Designation on the name plate Sticker on the terminal box ∆ / Y Star-delta start-up is only possible on 230 V voltage supply. Example: 230 V ∆...

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. Check the compressor for transport damage! WARNING! When the compressor is not running, depending on ambient temperature and amount of refrigerant charge, it is possible that...
6| Commissioning First evacuate the system and then include the compressor in the evacuation process. Relieve the compressor pressure. Open the suction and pressure line shut-off valves. Evacuate the suction and discharge pressure sides using the vacuum pump. At the end of the evacuation process, the vacuum should be < 1.5 mbar when the pump is switched off. Repeat this process as often as is required.
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).
80724 80601 80368 80424 Only use genuine GEA spare parts! 7.4 Accessories Available accessories can be found on the Internet at www.gea.com 7.5 Extract from the lubricants table For operation with CO the oil GEA C 85 E is necessary!
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 CO , avoid a fast drop in pressure to prevent oil from exiting with it.
