Check that:
• The insulating foam is intact and securely in place,
• The sensors and flow switch are correctly operating and
correctly positioned in their support,
• The water-side connections are clean and show no sign of
leakage.

12.5.1 - Oil filter change schedule
As system cleanliness is critical to reliable system operation, there
is a filter in the oil line at the oil separator outlet. The oil filter is
specified to provide a high level of filtration (5 µm) required for
long compressor life.
The filter should be checked after the first 500 hours of operation,
and every subsequent 2000 hours. The filter should be replaced
at any time when the pressure differential across the filter exceeds
2 bar.
The pressure drop across the filter can be determined by
measuring the pressure at the discharge port (at the oil separator)
and the oil pressure port (at the compressor).
The difference in these two pressures will be the pressure drop
across the filter, check valve, and solenoid valve. The pressure
drop across the check valve and solenoid valve is approximately
0.4 bar, which should be subtracted from the two oil pressure
measurements to give the oil filter pressure drop.

12.5.2 - Compressor rotation control
Correct compressor rotation is one of the most critical application
considerations. Reverse rotation, even for a very short duration,
damages the compressor and can even destroy it.
The reverse rotation protection scheme must be capable of
determining the direction of rotation and stopping the compressor
within one second. Reverse rotation is most likely to occur
whenever the wiring at the compressor terminals has been
modified.
To minimise the opportunity for reverse rotation, the following
procedure must be applied. Rewire the power cables to the
compressor terminal pin as originally wired. Apply a counter-torque
at the lower nut at the supply cable terminal during installation.
For replacement of the compressor, a low pressure switch is
included with the compressor. This low pressure switch should be
temporarily installed as a hard safety on the high pressure part of
the compressor. The purpose of this switch is to protect the
compressor against any wiring errors at the compressor terminal
pin. The electrical contact of the switch would be wired in series
with the high pressure switch. The switch will remain in place until
the compressor has been started and direction of rotation has
been verified; at this point, the switch will be removed.
The switch that has been selected for detecting reverse rotation
is Carrier part number HK01CB001. This switch opens the contacts
when the pressure falls below 7 kPa. The switch is a manual reset
type that can be reset after the pressure has once again risen
above 70 kPa. It is critical that the switch be a manual reset type
to preclude the compressor from short cycling in the reverse
direction
