1| Safety Identification of safety instructions Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, will cause immediate fatal or serious injury. Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fatal or serious injury. Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fairly severe or minor injury.
These assembly instructions describe the standard version of the compressor named in the title manufactured by Bock. Bock refrigerating compressors are intended for installation in a ma- chine (within the EU according to the EU Directives 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive, 2014/68/ EU Pressure Equipment Directive, outside the EU according to the respective national regulations and guidelines).
2| Product description Short description • UL-HGX22e: Semi-hermetic two-cylinder reciprocating compressor with oil pump lubrication. • UL-HGX34e: Semi-hermetic four-cylinder reciprocating compressor with oil pump lubrication. • Suction gas cooled drive motor. • The stream of refrigerant sucked out of the evaporator flows over the motor and cools it intensively.
More informations about approved refrigerants on Bock compressor selection tool VAP (vap.bock.de). Oil charge The compressors are filled at the factory with the following oil type: BOCK lub E55 For refilling, we recommend the above oil types. See also section 7.4.
4| Compressor assembly 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. Storage and transport Storage at -30°C...+70°C (-22°F...+158°F), maximum permissible relative humidity 10% - 95%, no condensation Do not store in a corrosive, dusty, vaporous atmosphere or in a com-...
4| Compressor assembly Pipe connections Damage possible. Do not solder as long as the compressor is under pressure. Superheating can damage the valve. Remove the pipe supports therefore from the valve for soldering and accordingly cool the valve body during and after soldering. Only solder using inert gas to inhibit oxidation products (scale).
4| Compressor assembly A rule of thumb: Always lay the first pipe section starting from the shut-off valve downwards and parallel to the drive shaft. Rigid As short as fixed point possible Fig. 6 Operating the shut-off valves Before opening or closing the shut-off valve, release the valve spindle seal by approx. 1 / 4 of a turn counter-clockwise.

5| Electrical connection General safety Risk of electric shock! High voltage! Only carry out work when the electrical system is disconnected from the power supply! When attaching accessories with an electrical cable, a minimum bending radius of 3 x the cable diameter must be maintained for laying the cable.

Example: L1 L2 230 V ∆ 400 V Y Direct start Star-delta start Direct start only L1 L2 L1 L2 L1 L2 L1 L2 INFO The connection examples shown refer to the standard version. In the case of special voltages, the instructions affixed to the terminal box apply.

5| Electrical connection Electronic trigger unit INT69 G The compressor motor is fitted with cold conductor temperature sensors (PTC) connected to the electronic trigger unit INT69 G in the terminal box. In case of excess temperature in the motor winding, the INT69 G deactivates the motor contactor. Once cooled, it can be restarted only if the electronic lock of the output relay (terminals B1+B2) is released by interrupting the supply voltage.
5| Electrical connection Function test of the trigger unit INT69 G Before commissioning, after troubleshooting or making changes to the control power circuit, check the functionality of the trigger unit. Perform this check using a continuity tester or gage. Relay position INT69 G Gage state Relay position Deactivated state...
6| Commissioning Preparations for start-up 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.
6| Commissioning Make sure that the suction and pressure line shut-off valves are open. With the compressor switched off, add the liquid refrigerant directly to the condenser or receiver, breaking the vacuum. If the refrigerant needs topping up after starting the compressor, it can be topped up in vapor form on the suction side, or, taking suitable precautions, also in liquid form at the inlet to the evapora- tor.
