OIL MANAGEMENT SWITCHES
Instruction manual HBOC and HBOR both mk1 and mk2 versions.

Introduction

The sensors are designed for
control of oil levels in gas HBOC
and in Liquid ammonia HBOR
HBOR will also be useable for
measuring water in oil.
Both sensors can control a level
based on a single switch. These
sensors replace the common
mechanical float and the two-
switch solution where a minimum
and maximum level switch is used
for controlling the level.
The difference between mk1 and mk2 is the output on the cable.
HBOC/C and HBOR/C has 24 VDC max 24 W output on the cable
HBOC/C mk2 and HBOR/C mk2 has 24 V AC/DC max 24 W output on the cable
Mk2 version are labeled mk2. Mk1 versions are not labeled mk1
The sensors share the same tool and technology, and they can be setup for these 4 modes:
Compressor
For compressors and similar solutions where oil is constantly consumed or removed, the switch can
open a valve which fills up the oil reservoir. The HBOC is used.
Separator
For oil separators and similar solutions where oil is constantly added, the switch can open a valve
which drains up the oil reservoir. The HBOC is used.
Switch
As a normal oil switch which can be configured to any oil type and temperature by changing the
calibration
Oil return
For control of oil pots and suction accumulators where oil, liquid ammonia and ammonia gas can be
present. This application is like oil separator, but this switch can handle the liquid ammonia. The
HBOR is used. The switch is also capable of detecting water in oil - if the water separates.

  • Page 5 HBOR is shown in combination with an ejector for oil control. In an oil pot where oil and gas is present the HBOC will be used as it measures oil in gas. The switch will be passive if it does not detect oil.
  • Page 6 This is done via the run-in signal. If set to off the switch will operate constantly. If put to on the controller will only work when 10-24 V is applied to pin 5. HBOC-C and HBOR-C_Instruction manual_001-EN 6 / 15...
  • Page 7: Applications

    Applications HBOC is typically used for oil level control in compressors and oil separators. In both applications oil level is measured in gas and the sensor can provide direct control of a magnetic valve Control of oil level in compressors: The sensor detects if there is oil where it has been installed.
  • Page 8: Installation Guide

    Mounting Guide HBOC is mounted either on a compressor or an oil separator. On a compressor, an adapter flange can be provided as an accessory. The sensor is sealed with Teflon tape or liquid gasket before installation.
  • Page 9 Teflon or liquid gasket is applied to the conical thread. Cylindrical thread is installed with gasket. Separate the electronic part from the mechanical part. Fasten the mechanical part with a suitable spanner (tightening torque 80-150 Nm, depending on thread type). HBOC-C and HBOR-C_Instruction manual_001-EN 9 / 15...

    Electrical connections HBOC/C and HBOR/C can be supplied with direct control of the magnetic valve, or it can be connected to the central control via the sensor's control/alarm output. See the diagrams below for the two variants HBOC/C and HBOR/C - mk1 (DC version –...
  • Page 12: Led Indication & Calibration

    HBOC is pre-calibrated upon delivery and ready for use in refrigeration systems systems using conventional mineral and PAO oils. If the HBOC is used in other oil types a calibration might be needed. This calibration is done by using the HB tool connected via an USB cable.

  • Page 14: Fault Detection

    The sensor electronics are completely embedded and can therefore not be repaired. In case of faults with the sensor, it will typically only be necessary to replace the electronics. Complaint cases are handled by the HB Products dealers/distributors. Their complain procedures must be followed before returning the sensor.
