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 cause fairly severe or minor injury.
Only the refrigerant specified in these instructions may be used. Any other use of the compressor is prohibited! The Bock refrigerating compressor named in the title is intended for installation 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 Brief description Two different designs are available for various ranges of application: > for air-conditioning the K Design > for air-conditioning or normal cooling the N Design The differences lie mainly in the valve plate tooling which is adapted to each applica- tion range where operational safety and efficiency are concerned.
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. - Max. permissible discharge end temperature: 140 °C - Permissible ambient temperature: (-20 °C) - (+100 °C) - Max. permissible switching frequency: 12 x /h...
Fig. 4 Storage at (-40 °C) - (+100 °C), maximum permissible relative humidity 10 % - 95 %, no condensation. Fittings (e.g. pipe holders, additional units etc.) on the compressor are permissible only following consultation with Bock. Setup on an even surface or frame with sufficient load-bearing capacity. Use all 4 fastening points. Correct setup of the compressor and mounting of the belt drive are decisive for running comfort, operating safety and the service life of the compressor.
4| Compressor assembly 4.3 V-belt drive ATTENTION Inappropriately designed belt drives, especially belt knocking (offsets, inclinations) or excessive tensioning forces can cause compressor damage! Make sure that the drive belt is designed correctly, e.g. by using t ensioners and selecting the belt profile and the belt length. During operation with capacity controllers (Accessories, Chap. 7), the changing load can cause increased running noises and belt drive vibrations.
4| Compressor assembly 4.6 Pipe connections The discharge and suction line valves, if installed, have stepped internal diameters, enabling the use of pipes with standard millime- tre and inch dimensions. The depth of pipe insertion will depend on the dimension. The connection diameters of the shut-off valves are designed for maximum compressor output.

5| Commissioning 5.1 Preparations for start-up INFO To protect the compressor against inadmissible operating condi- tions, high-pressure and low-pressure pressostats are mandatory on the installation side. The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested. There are therefore no special running-in instructions.
0.05 ml per operating hour is therefore normal. This applies particularly during the run-in phase (200 - 300 h). T o trap and collect leaked oil, the FK50 is fitted with an inte- grated leak oil trapping device with oil reservoir (P. 6, Fig. 1). The compressor shaft is sealed to outside using a shaft seal. The sealing element rotates with the shaft.
5| Commissioning 5.8 Avoiding liquid shocks ATTENTION Slugging can damage the compressor and cause refrigerant to leak. To prevent liquid shocks: The complete refrigeration plant must be correctly designed and executed. The capacities of all components must be compatible (particularly evaporator and expansion valve). Suction gas superheating at the evaporator output should be at least 7 – 10 K (check setting of the expansion valve).
6| Maintenance Where requirements are higher during use (frequent operation at the limits of application, or in hotlands with over +40 °C ambient temperature, or in the case of deep freezing), the following requirements must be observed: • Initial oil change during the first maintenance of the vehicle (at the latest after one year) • Then an oil change after every 2,000 operating hours, at the latest however after two years. Also clean the oil filter. Preventive maintenance The above requirements for higher use applications also apply in the case of preventive maintenance. The shaft seal must also be changed after 3 years. Regular inspections (at least annually): Checks to be carried out on oil level in the oil sight glass, oil fill level of the shaft seal in the oil drain hose, absence of leaks in the compressor, running noise, vibrations, pressures, temperatures, and functioning of auxiliary devices such as the capacity control.
Electrical actuation of the solenoid valve: Normally open, (cor- responds to 100 % compressor capacity). Cylinder covers for capacity regulation are marked with the designation "CR" (Capacity Regulator). FK50 / ..N ... K Designation Item No. Item No.
7| Accessories 7.2 Thermal protection thermostat (Item No. 07595) A screw-in option is provided for the sensor element on the hot gas side of the compressor housing (see Chap. 9). Connect the thermal protection thermostat in series with the control line.
