Scope of Application Si50-203 Scope of Application This booklet applies to semi-hermetic single screw compressor for use in Model F type (ZH_F), G type (ZH_G). Replacement intervals specified in the booklet are empirically worked out based on the design service life expected of the compressors operated under the design conditions, and are intended to provide a general guide by which to formulate a maintenance plan.
Si50-203 Overhaul Overhaul Generally, maintenance and inspection of equipment are important in preventing their failure and damage to them. Equipment, even without defective structure or components, gradually age and wear over long years of operation. For example, screw compressors, despite their apparent good operating condition, may face such problems as decreasing insulation resistance of the motor, oil deterioration, and worn and fatigued bearings during long periods of operation.
Periodic Inspection Si50-203 Periodic Inspection “Periodical Inspection” means to inspect, adjust and clean various parts of devices and equipment at the scheduled interval. Periodic Inspection Items and Intervals Table 3-1 shows periodic inspection items and intervals. Conduct inspections at the earliest indicated inspection intervals.
Si50-203 Periodic Inspection Periodic Inspection Instructions 1. Insulation Resistance of The Motor Insulation Resistance Testing A megger is used to apply voltage directly to an insulated object, measure leakage current through the insulated object, and find the insulation resistance values. Its scale is voltage / leakage graduated with such insulation resistance values.
