  • Page 35: Compressor Lubrication System

    Operating instructions COMPRESSOR Fig. 14: Shaft rotation Compressor rotation is clockwise when facing the end of the compressor drive shaft. The compressor should never be operated in reverse rotation as bearing damage will result. Compressor lubrication system The compressor is designed specifically for operation without oil pump for high-stage service. Boosters and some low-differential pressure applications require the demand pump option.
  • Page 36: Cold-Start System

    Operating instructions 6.10 Cold-start system The unit is equipped with a special "cold-start" discharge valve. This valve ensures a rapid devel- opment of oil pressure at initial start-up in order to lubricate the compressor without requiring an oil pump, even in cold ambient temperatures with all pressures equalised. Warning! Be extremely careful when dismantling the cold-start valve on the discharge side of the unit, as condensed refrigerant often is trapped between the cold-start valve and the stop valve.

Function The function of the automatic oil return valve, EVRB, is to return the separated oil in the fine sepa- rator to the compressor.
  • Page 39: Compressor Hydraulic System

    Operating instructions Fig. 18 Note: The sectional view shows the valve structure. Some of the internal oil channels are not visible. 6.13 Compressor hydraulic system The hydraulic system of the compressor utilises oil pressure from internally drilled passages in the compressor casing to selectively load and unload the compressor by applying this pressure to the actuating hydraulic piston of the movable slide valve (MSV).

  • Page 41: Compressor Oil Cooling System

    Operating instructions 6.16 Compressor oil cooling system 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, thermosyphon, or water-cooled oil coolers. Each system is automatically controlled, independent of compressor loading or unloading. Oil cooling systems maintain oil temperature within the following ranges for R717 and R22: Liquid injection oil cooling: 55-65°C...
  • Page 42: Heating Element

    Operating instructions 6.20 Heating element To keep the compressor lubricating oil warm during a period of standstill, a heating element is built into the oil reservoir. Before start-up, the heating element must be switched on for 6-8 hours to ensure that only a minimum of refrigerant remains in the oil. If there is too much refrigerant in the oil, the oil loses its lubricating properties.
  • Page 43 Operating instructions On start-up the unit should be operated at the highest load possible for 3 hours. During that period, adjust liquid injection oil cooling, if applicable. If unit has water-cooled oil cooling, adjust water control valve to cooler (if applicable). The compressor slide valve should be calibrated.
  • Page 44: Normal Start-Up Procedure

    Operating instructions Failure to properly adjust this valve can lead to excessive noise and vibration of the compressor and unit, premature failure of the bearings, liquid loading of the rotors, liquid starvation of the rotors and catastrophic failure of the compressor. 6.23 Normal start-up procedure Normal start-up procedure...
