1 | Safety 1.1 Identification of safety instructions: DANGER Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, will cause immediate fatal or serious injury WARNING Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fatal or serious injury CAUTION Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may imme- diately cause fairly severe or minor injury.
These assembly instructions describe the standard version of the compressors named in the ti- tle manufactured by Bock. Bock refrigerating compressors are intended for installing in a machine (within the EU according to the EU Directives 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive and 2014/68/EU Pressure Equipment Directive).
2 | Product description 2.1 Short description • Semi-hermetic four-cylinder reciprocating compressor with suction gas cooled driving motor. • The flow of refrigerant sucked in from the evaporator is led over the engine and provides for a particularly intensive cooling. Thus the engine can be kept on a relatively low temperature level specially during high load. • Oil pump independent of direction of rotation for reliable and safe oil supply. •...

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. - Permissible ambient temperature (-20 °C) - (+60 °C).
4 | Compressor assembly INFO New compressors are factory-filled with inert gas. Leave this service charge in the compressor for as long as possible and prevent the ingress of air. Immediately after refrigeration technological connection of the compressor close the shut-off devices in suction-, dis- charge-, oil return line etc.
4 | Compressor assembly 4.3 Connecting the pipelines - solder system ATTENTION Damage possible. 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). Material soldering / welding connection: S235 (JRG2C) The pipe connections have graduated inside diameters so that pipes with standard millimetre and inch dimensions can be used.
4 | Compressor assembly 4.5 Pipes Pipes and system components must be clean and dry inside and free of scale, swarf and layers of rust and phosphate. Only use hermetically sealed parts. Lay pipes correctly. Suitable vibration compensators must be provided to prevent pipes being cracked and broken by severe vibrations.
4 | Compressor assembly 4.7 Laying suction and pressure lines ATTENTION Property damage possible. Improperly installed pipes can cause cracks and tears which can result in a loss of refrigerant. INFO Proper layout of the suction and pressure lines directly after the compressor is integral to the smooth running and vibration behaviour of the system.
After activating the spindle, generally fit the spindle protection cap again and tighten with 40 - 50 Nm. This serves as a second sealing feature during operation. 4.10 Oil return To ensure the oil return function will work reliably no matter what kind of system configuration you are using, Bock recommends incorporating oil separators or oil level monitoring equipment. The "O" connection is already available from the factory for the purpose of installing the additional oil level monitoring component. Oil should be returned from the oil separator to the compressor via the "D1" connection provided for this purpose on the compressor.
5 | Electrical connection Electrical connection DANGER Risk of electric shock! High voltage! Only carry out work when the electrical system is disconnected from the power supply! ATTENTION When attaching accessories with an electrical cable, a minimum bending radius of 3 x the cable diameter must be maintained for laying the cable.

5| Electrical connection 5.4 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.

5| Electrical connection Rotational speed 0 - f-min f-min - f-max range Start-up time < 1 s ca. 4 s immediately Switch-off time f-min/f-max see chapter: Technical data: adjustable frequency range 6 | Commissioning 6.1 Preparations for start-up INFO In order to protect the compressor against inadmissible operating conditions, high-pressure and low-pressure pressostats controls are mandatory on the installation side.
6 | Commissioning Carry out the leak test on the refrigerating plant in accordance with EN 378-2 or a corresponding safety standard, while always observing the maximum permissible overpressure for the compressor. Only dry test gases may be used for the leak test, e.g. nitrogen N2 min. 4.6 (= purity 99.996 % or higher).
6 | Commissioning A refrigerant supplement, which may become necessary after start-up, can be topped up in vapour form on the suction side. ATTENTION Avoid overfilling the machine with refrigerant! Do not charge liquid refrigerant into the suction-side on the compressor.
6 | Commissioning 6.8 Decompression valves ATTENTION The compressor is fitted with two decompression valves. One valve each on the suction and discharge side. If excessive pressures are reached, the valves open and prevent further pressure increase. Thereby CO is blown off to the ambient! In the event that a pressure relief valve activates repeatedly, check valve and replace if necessary as during blow-off extreme con- ditions can occur, which may result in a permanent leak.
6 | Commissioning 6.9 Avoiding slugging ATTENTION Slugging can result in damage to the compressor and cause refrigerant to leak. To prevent slugging: The complete refrigeration plant must be properly designed. All components must be compatibly rated with each other with regard to output (particularly the evaporator and expansion valves).
