Safety precautions 3.2.1 General precautions These precautions should be used as a supplement to the safety precautions and warnings in- cluded in: •...
Use the prescribed tools, and check that they are properly maintained and in good work- ing condition. In explosion-proof areas, use tools suited for this specific purpose. • Use only Johnson Controls Denmark original spare parts; other parts may impair the safety of the compressor/unit. •...
ATEX directive. If the installations are expanded or additional equipment is mounted, this must also be in conformity with the ATEX directive. For equipment not supplied by Johnson Controls Denmark, it is the contractor who is responsible for ensuring that the equipment is in conformity with the ATEX directive.
Safety precautions 3.2.7 Lubricating oils Compressor oils include the following oil types: Code design Oil types Mineral oil, naphtenic base Synthetic oils based on alkylated aromatics (alkyl-benzene) Synthetic oils blended from alkyl-benzene and poly-alfa-olefin base stocks Semi synthetic oils (hydro-treated mineral oil on paraffinic base) Synthetic oils based on poly-alfa-olefin Synthetic oils based on polyol esters Synthetic oils based on polyalkylene glycols...
Safety precautions 3.2.10 F-gas regulation (fluorinated greenhouse gases) In the European F-gas regulation, No 517/2014, about reduction of harmful gases in the atmos- phere, the European Parliament (EU) has established guidelines for the regulation of certain fluo- rinated greenhouse gases. The following is an extract from the guidelines and is relevant for end users and operators.
Page 28
Safety precautions Recovery of refrigerant Operators are responsible for putting in place arrangements for the proper recovery of fluorinated greenhouse gases by competent personnel to ensure recycling, reclamation or destruction. Certification of personnel According to directive 303/2008, it is mandatory for the member states to establish certification and training programs for personnel involved in leakage inspections and the recovery, recycling, reclamation and destruction of fluorinated gases.
Safety precautions 3.2.11 First aid for accidents with ammonia (Chemical formula: NH , refrigerant no.: R717) General Ammonia is not a cumulative poison. It has a distinctive, pungent odour that even at very low, harmless concentrations is detectable by most people. As ammonia is self-alarming, it serves as its own warning agent so that no person stays voluntar- ily in hazardous concentrations.
Safety precautions 3.2.12 First aid for accidents with HFC/HCFC General HFC/HCFC form colourless and invisible gases, which are heavier than air and smell faintly of chloroform in high concentrations. Characteristics: • non-toxic • non-inflammable • non-explosive • non-corrosive When heated to above approx. 300° C, they break down into toxic acid gas components, which are strongly irritating and aggressive to nose, eyes and skin and are generally corrosive.
Safety precautions 3.2.13 Protecting the operator as well as the environment Industrialisation affects our environment and it is therefore essential that we do what we can to minimise the harmful effect on nature. Many countries have passed legislation in an effort to reduce pollution and preserve the environ- ment.
Page 32
Safety precautions Furthermore, it can be said about refrigerants: HFC/HCFC If released into the atmosphere, halogenated refrigerants of the types CFC and HCFC (e.g. R22) will contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The ozone layer protects the earth from the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Page 33
Safety precautions In general, all brines must be considered harmful to nature and they must be used with caution. Be very careful when charging or purging a refrigeration plant. Never empty brines down a sewer or into the environment. The brine must be collected in suitable containers clearly marked with the contents and sent to an approved incineration plant.
Technical description 4. Technical description Description of the screw compressor The screw compressor unit is intended for high pressure operation and booster operation. Since it is designed and constructed as a ready-to-operate unit, all that is required is connection to the plant system.
Page 35
The serial number of each compressor is stamped into the compressor block. Fig. 13: Compressor name plate Always state the compressor serial number when contacting Johnson Controls Denmark. Engineering manual - SAB 193-233-283 S A-frame (including ATEX) 008831 en 2020.10...
Technical description Marine application When installing a unit on a ship, the behaviour of the ship at sea must be taken into consideration and thus the inclination of the unit. The compressor unit is designed to meet the most common requirements from the classification companies assuming the unit is installed with the motor/compressor shaft in the fore-and-aft di- rection of the ship, see Fig.
Once compressor type, refrigerant and a few other functions have been se- lected, UniSAB III is ready for operation. UniSAB III is based on Johnson Controls Denmark's ex- tensive experience with design and operation of compressor control systems.
Technical description Easy to operate UniSAB III has a systematic and easily accessible user interface which does not require any spe- cial knowledge or education. Operational data and status appear from the distinct display which features four lines with twenty characters each.
It should be noted that compressors running variable speed (VSD) are at higher risk of facing vi- brational problems than similar fixed-speed applications. Johnson Controls Denmark and the Engineering manual - SAB 193-233-283 S A-frame (including ATEX) 008831 en 2020.10...
Technical description Sabroe Factory have gained comprehensive experience in VSD, and we are integrating this knowledge into both the mechanical design and the control systems of our products. For this rea- son, we cannot accept liability for any damage related to vibrations or variable speed drive on non-factory-built equipment.
Technical description No pump oil system The screw compressor unit is designed to be self-lubricating. Oil supplied to the compressor from the oil separator is at system head pressure. In the compressor, oil from all lubricating points is returned to a point in the compressor body where the pressure is lower than the compressor dis- charge pressure.
Page 42
Technical description Fig. 19: Oil separator Design and operating mode As illustrated in Fig. 19 the oil separator system consists of two containers, an oil separator at the top and an oil reservoir at the bottom. In the oil separator the oil is separated from the discharge gas and taken to the oil reservoir.
Page 43
Technical description From the compressor Demister Oil return Oil return To oil vessel Fine oil separator element, pos. 55 Fig. 21: OHU 04136 However, the discharge gas still contains a certain amount of fine oil drops, which are separated as the discharge gas passes the fine oil separator elements (the fine filters). This oil is re- turned to the compressor in separate piping systems as described later in this section.
Technical description 4.13 Automatic oil return valve 1: Inlet G1/4” 4: Stop valve, outlet side 2: Filter 5: Outlet G1/4” 3: Stop valve, inlet side 6: Sight glass Fig. 22 Note: Valve inlet and outlet are marked on the valve housing with "in" and “out”. Function The function of the automatic oil return valve, EVRB, is to return the separated oil in the fine sepa- rator to the compressor.
Technical description Fig. 23 Note: The sectional view shows the valve structure. Some of the internal oil channels are not visible. 4.14 External oil filter The compressor unit is equipped with an external oil filter, pos. 195/196, which is mounted in the oil pipe between the oil separator or oil cooler (if present) and the compressor.
Technical description 4.15 Unit with double oil filter If the unit is equipped with two parallel oil filters, only one filter at a time must be in operation. The filter not in use can be cleaned when the compressor is in operation. When cleaning the oil filter during operation, please note that the pressure is higher when the vent valve/plug is opened.

Technical description unload side of the cylinder. Simultaneously, oil contained in the load side of the cylinder flows out of compressor port SC2 through valve ports B and T to compressor suction side. Note: To control the rate of loading and unloading, change cycle time, proportional band and dead band set points with the control system.
Technical description 4.17 Compressor oil cooling systems The unit can be equipped with one of several systems for controlling the compressor oil tempera- ture. They are single or dual-port liquid injection and refrigerant-cooled (thermosyphon) or water-cooled oil coolers. Each system is automatically controlled, independent of compressor loading or unloading.

Technical description 4.19 Requirements for ambient temperatures and humidity Sabroe compressor units are generally designed for indoor installation within these limits: Humidity: • 10-90% relative humidity (not condensing). Temperature: Minimum 0°C (+32F). Limiting factors: • Avoid freezing of water charge systems during standstill •...
Technical description 4.20 Oil carry-over to plant Total oil carry-over estimate Formula: 0.36 x total ppm value x total mass flow (kg/s) (COMP1) = > (kg/100 h) The COMP1 calculation program provides the discharge temperature and the circulated mass flow of refrigerant through evaporator, economiser and side load. In the formula, the total mass flow (all single flow of refrigerant to be added provides condenser mass flow or total mass flow) must be used.
To ensure the compressor unit a long service life with safe and reliable operation, it is important to use an oil type recommended by Johnson Controls Denmark. Please refer to Sabroe oil recom- mendation where various oil types are listed in a table including oil brand, oil code and part numbers.
Technical description ATEX: On ATEX-executions, the heating element(s) are ATEX-approved. Heating elements from Johnson Controls Denmark have a thermostat with manual reset. If the thermostat drops out, only compe- tent personnel should reactivate it. 4.24 Oil level switch Four red LEDs Plast housing PROCAP -LS20 M4 fixing screw...

Technical description Once the compressor is running it will begin to force gas to the condenser at connection P2. As the condenser heats up, the pressure will begin to rise as the compressor suction pulls down in pressure. As soon as a differential pressure has developed between the condenser and suction side, these pressures will act across a piston inside the cold-start valve to partially overcome the spring force.

Page 58
Technical description It is imperative that an uninterrupted supply of high-pressure liquid refrigerant is provided to the injection system at all times. Two items are of extreme importance, the design of the re- ceiver/liquid injection supply and the size of the liquid line. It is recommended that the receiver is oversized sufficiently to retain a five minute supply of re- frigerant for oil cooling.

Technical description liquid/vapour mixture, which rises to the receiver, dropping out the remaining liquid before allow- ing the vapour to return to the condenser, completing the cycle. Piping arrangement for thermosyphon oil cooling systems The components and piping of a thermosyphon oil cooling system include a liquid source at con- densing pressure, adequate static heads to provide fluid flow, appropriate control valves, safety relief valves, service valves and pump-out connections.
COMP1. The water supply must be sufficient to meet the required flow. Johnson Controls Denmark recommends a closed-loop system for the waterside of the oil cooler. Careful attention to water treatment is essential to ensure adequate life of the cooler if cooling tower water is used.
Technical description 4.31 Connection to AlfaNova oil cooler The maximum permitted connection forces and moments during mounting and operation for Alfa- Nova heat exchangers are listed in the following tables. Keep these values in mind when design- ing your system. It is also recommended to minimise connection loads when designing piping systems.
Technical description 4.32 KRACHT oil pump Drive shaft end Shaft seal Gear unit Housing Plain bearing bushes External gear pump End cover Fig. 39 The oil pump is an external toothed gear pump, which works according to the positive displace- ment principle.
Technical description Pump direction All our KRACHT pumps run clockwise (seen on shaft end). Rotating counterclockwise will damage the shaft seal. Before the initial start-up of the oil pump, remember to check that it has the correct rotation di- rection. Do this by looking through the fan shield mounted at the end of the motor, away from the oil pump.

Technical description subcooling is provided by flashing liquid in the economiser cooler to an intermediate pressure level. The intermediate pressure is provided by a port located part way down the compression process on the screw compressor. As the screw compressor unloads, the economiser port will drop in pressure level, eventually being fully open to suction.

Technical data Operating limits Fig. 66 shows an example of a permissible working range for a compressor. The operating limits depend on various factors such as the specific compressor, the compressor cooling method, whether there is an economiser and which refrigerant is used. The relevant diagram can be ob- tained from the COMP1 calculation program.
Technical data Selecting electric motor The IEC electric motor types IP23 or IP54 (55) are the motors normally used to drive the compressors. Fig. 67: IP23 Drip-proof motor When selecting an electric motor, the aspects discussed below should be taken into consideration. Motor dimension The motor size is determined on the basis of power demands of the compressor during the current operating conditions calculated by the Sabroe COMP1 program.
Technical data Motor selection and starting torque Motors must be sized adequately for all expected operating conditions as start-up, pull down and load variations quite often require significantly more horsepower than nominal design. Motor starting torque capacity must also be considered, especially when across-the-line start is not used.
Technical data Nm [Ft-lb] [Psig] Bar Percentage of normal run speed Speed vs starting torque curve fully unloaded Fig. 69: Starting torque curves, booster Starting torque for specific compressor Multiply the starting torque value from high-stage or booster curves at 100% of normal run speed by starting torque multiplier for appropriate compressor size.
Technical data 6.10 Direction of rotation The direction of rotation of the compressor is clockwise when looking at the coupling flange and the compressor as illustrated in Fig. 71. Fig. 71: Direction of rotation 6.11 Emergency stop The compressor control system must be equipped with an emergency stop.

Page 98
Technical data • Higher vibration levels may occur if: – the motor and compressor have not been aligned in accordance with requirements. – the compressor runs at an incorrect Vi ratio (screw compressors only). – the piping connections have been executed in a way that makes them force pull or push powers on the compressor unit, or transfer vibrations to the unit caused by natural vibrations or connected machinery.
Table 25 shows the standard pressure levels used by Johnson Controls Denmark. For specific ap- plications the authorities may, however, demand a higher test pressure level. Such requirements can be met, within certain limits, for Sabroe compressors at an additional price.
Installation instructions 7. Installation instructions Installation This chapter describes: • The dangers that may occur from failure to follow instructions and safety precautions per- taining to the installation phase. • How to install the equipment safely and effectively. This chapter is primarily intended for installation supervisors, installation technicians and electri- cians.

Components 8. Components This chapter describes the product components and the different accessories that can be mounted. This chapter is primarily intended for constructing engineers, service technicians, future custom- ers, sales personnel and personnel in the process of training. General The screw compressor unit is supplied as a complete plant mounted on a base frame.
Components UniSAB III The UniSAB III control receives its impulses from pressure transducers and temperature sensors. Pressure transducers, marked PE1 , PE2 , PE3 and PE4 See chapter 5. Physical and connection data. Temperature sensors, marked TE5 , TE6 and TE7 See chapter 5.
Settings 9. Settings Control system Compressors are delivered with the UniSAB III reading, safety and capacity regulating system only. Note: Changes in factory settings must only be carried out by an authorised refrigeration company. The control system is described in the UniSAB III Operating manual. A UniSAB III Engineering manual is also available.
Operating instructions 10. Operating instructions This chapter is included in the separate Operating manual. Please consult this manual if you need information on how to operate the compressor. Engineering manual - SAB 193-233-283 S A-frame (including ATEX) 008831 en 2020.10 131/168...
Maintenance instructions 11. Maintenance instructions This chapter describes: • Dangers resulting from failure to comply with safety precautions when performing main- tenance tasks. • Scheduled maintenance tasks for this equipment, and how to carry them out safely. • When these scheduled maintenance tasks should be performed. This chapter is primarily intended for operators and service engineers.
Maintenance instructions 11.3 Stopping routine Comprehensive maintenance often requires the compressor to be stopped for a certain period of time. Stopping and starting up compressor during a short period of standstill Before stopping the compressor, capacity must be reduced to the lowest capacity stage for a few minutes.

Maintenance instructions 11.5 Visual inspection Oil pressure Check that the oil pressure complies with the recommended cut-out pressure. Oil level Check the oil level in the compressor. It is of vital importance for the service life of the compressor that an optimal lubrication is maintained. The oil must always, as a minimum, be visible in the oil level glass.
Page 136
Maintenance instructions Condensing pressure The terms “condensing pressure” or "high pressure", as used here, refer to the pressure at the compressor outlet side. Usually the pressure is the same at the condenser inlet as at the compres- sor outlet. The only difference is the pressure drop in the line. Because of this pressure drop in the line, the pressure is a little higher at the compressor than at the inlet to the condenser.
An oil analysis provides important information on how the compressor runs. Johnson Controls Denmark therefore recommends that the oil analyses are carried out at regular intervals as described.
Naturally, the oil sample can be analysed by the oil supplying company. As a special offer to our customers, Johnson Controls Denmark has developed an analytical concept, so that we are able to analyse all oil makes. This will mean a uniform reporting of the results.
The report will always be sent to the address stated on the sample label included in the form set. A copy will be sent to Johnson Controls Denmark so that we are in a position to advise you, if required.
