  • Page 7: Design Features

    27 Oil filler cartridge 2.4 Design features HANBELL screw compressors feature simple and robust construction by elimination of some components such as pistons, piston rings, valve plates, oil pumps which are found in reciprocating compressors. Without these components, screw compressors run with low noise level, minimized vibration, high reliability and durability. HANBELL screw compressors are of two-shaft rotary displacement design with the latest and advanced 5:6 patented screw rotors.
  • Page 8: Compression Process

    2. To run compressors out of working frequency mentioned above, e.g. powering a 380V/3P/70Hz motor between 20 and 80Hz, please consult Hanbell before running. Running at frequency out of designed range will result in lower efficiency or serious damage to the compressor and motor.

    prevent interference. 9. To prevent reverse rotation caused by incorrect wiring, inspect high/low pressures by pressure switches or programming in commissioning. 10. High/low pressure differential of compressor should be kept above 4kg/cm , especially at low rotation speed. If there is external oil circuit, oil flow switch should be installed and oil pressure in the main oil return line should be monitored to ensure adequate lubrication of compressor.
  • Page 10: Application Limits

    Application limits of RC2-100AV~RC2-1530AV Note: 1. When Hanbell screw compressors operate at partial or full load within application limits, motor coil and discharge temperature will rise simultaneously. In order to keep compressor running safely and continuously, Hanbell recommends the following additional cooling devices:...
  • Page 11: Lubricants

    Every HANBELL RC2-AV compressors is equipped with oil sight glasses. The function of internal oil line sight glass is to monitor lubricant flow to bearings. While reverse running, it is unable to see the oil flow via sight glass. The normal oil level in the compressor oil sump should be maintained above the top of the low-level sight glass and in the middle level of high-level sight glass when compressor is running.
  • Page 12: Oil Change

    3.3 Oil change 1. Change oil periodically: Check lubrication oil every 10,000 hours of continuous running. For the first operation of the compressor, it is recommended to change the oil and clean the external oil filter after 2,000 hours running. Check whether the system is clean or not and then change oil every 20,000 hours or after 3 years’...

    4. Compressor lifting and installation 4.1 Compressor lifting Each HANBELL screw compressor has been carefully tested at the factory and every precautionary measures have been taken to make sure that compressors will keep in perfect condition when reaching customers’ work. After the compressor arrives at your warehouse, please check if its crate is kept in good condition and check all the compressor accessories with shipping documents to see if there is any discrepancy.

    5.2 Electrical installation with VFD RC2-AV series compressors are compatible with any general inverters. The general connection diagram is as shown below in Figure 38. An AC reactor should be installed between the power supply and the inverter in order to prevent power system from serious breakdown.

    Alarm lamp for this protector is required to be embedded on control panel as indicator. Any intention to short controllers for starting of compressors is prohibited. It is beyond Hanbell warranty of compressors if any action mentioned is found.
  • Page 53: Operation And Maintenance

    The whole plant, especially the pipelines and capillary tubes must be checked for possible abnormal vibrations. Contact HANBELL or local distributors if any abnormal vibrations or noise is found. Regularly check the field according to national regulations and the following items also should be checked:...

    Calculating the cooling capacity of liquid injection devices: Liquid injection devices can be calculated with the HANBELL selection software or manually. For manual calculation, consider the most extreme conditions to be expected during actual operations i.e. minimum evaporating temperature, maximum suction gas super heat and condensing temperature.
  • Page 57 Oil cooler application can be classified into 3 types: cooling by refrigerant, cooling by ambient air, cooling by cooling water. Oil cooler capacity can be calculated manually or using HANBELL selection software. When calculating manually, worst case operating conditions must be considered: minimum evaporating temperature, maximum suction gas superheat, maximum condensing temperature and the operation mode.
  • Page 58 The basic water-cooled oil cooling system is shown in Figure 47. Figure 47 Oil cooling by water Note: 1. Please decide appropriate oil cooler capacity by referring to HANBELL selection software. 2. Maximum pressure drop allowed in external oil cooler is 1.5 kg/cm . When it exceeds 1.5kg/cm , clean or change oil filter.

  • Page 62: Important Notes About Applications Of Compressor

    7.5 Important notes about applications of compressor 1. Pump down Do not pump down the compressor on the chiller as a routine operation. Only pump down for urgent maintenance or a long term shut down. Because pump down will cause extremely high temperature in the compression chamber and overheat of the motor as well due to less amount of refrigerant in the suction side.
