1| Safety 1.1 Identification of safety instructions: Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, will cause DANGER! immediate fatal or serious injury. Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fatal or serious injury. WARNING! Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fairly severe or minor injury.
Only the refrigerant specified in these instructions may be used. Any other use of the compressor is prohibited! The Bock refrigerating compressor named in the title is intended for installation in a machine (with- in the EU according to the EU Directives 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive, 2014/68/EU Pressure Equipment Directive).
2| Product description 2.1 Brief description Three different designs are available for various ranges of application: > for air-conditioning the K Design > for air-conditioning or normal cooling the N Design > for deep freezing the TK Design The differences lie mainly in the valve plate tooling which is adapted to each applica- tion range where operational safety and efficiency are concerned.
, Chapter 6.4. 3.3 Limits of application ATTENTION! Compressor operation is possible within the operating limits. These can be found in Bock compressor selection tool (VAP) under vap.bock.de. Observe the information given there. - M ax. permissible discharge end temperature: 140°C - Max. permissible ambient temperature: 100°C...
Check the compressor for transport damage before starting any work. 4.1 Setting up Fittings (e.g. pipe holders, additional units etc.) on the compressor are permissible only following consultation with Bock. Setup on an even surface or frame with sufficient load-bearing capacity. The compressor can be fastened as follows: - using the 4 drill holes on the baseplate - using the 3 side M10 tapped blind holes on the left or right of the compressor housing - using the 4 M10 tapped blind holes on the front of the compressor housing.
4| Compressor assembly 4.3 V-belt drive ATTENTION! Inappropriately designed belt drives, especially belt knocking or excessive tensioning forces can cause compressor damage! Make sure that the drive belt is designed correctly, e.g. by using tensioners and selecting the belt profile and the belt length. 4.4 Main bearing load To prevent the belt drive overloading the compressor main bearing, 600 N max = 30kNmm...
4| Compressor assembly 4.6 Pipe connections The pipe connections have graduated inside diameters so that pipes in the common millimeter and inch dimensions can be used. The connection diameters of the shut-off valves are designed for maximum compressor output. The required pipe cross-section must be matched to the capacity.

5| Commissioning 5.1 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.
5| Commissioning 5.5 Refrigerant charge CAUTION! Wear personal protective clothing such as goggles and protective gloves! ATTENTION! Avoid overfilling the system with refrigerant! To avoid shifts in concentration, zeotropic refrigerant blends (e.g. R407C) must always be added to the refrigerating plant in liquid form. Do not pour liquid refrigerant through the suction line valve on the compressor. It is not permissible to mix additives with the oil and refrigerant.
5| Commissioning 5.7 Avoiding liquid shocks ATTENTION! Slugging can damage the compressor and cause refrigerant to leak. To prevent liquid shocks: The complete refrigeration plant must be correctly designed and executed. The capacities of all components must be compatible (particularly evaporator and expansion valve). Suction gas superheating at the evaporator output should be at least 7 – 10 K (check setting of the expansion valve).
Annual checks: Check the tightness of the compressor, oil level, running noise, pressures, tem- peratures, function of auxiliary devices. 6.3 Recommended spare parts/accessories Available spare parts and accessories can be found on our compressor selection tool under vap.bock.de as well as at bockshop.bock.de. Only use genuine Bock spare parts!
The oil type charged as standard in the factory is marked on the name plate. This oil type should be used as a preference. Alternatives are stated in the extract from our lubricants table below.

7| Accessories 7.1 Thermal protection thermostat (Item No. 07595) A special intermediate flange, located below the discharge line valve, is used to attach the sensor element (Part no. 04175). Wire the thermal protection thermostat in series with the control line. Technical Data: Switching voltage max. : 24 V DC Switching current max. : 2.5 A at 24 V DC Switch-off temperature : 145 °C ± 5 K Switch-on temperature : approx.
