This instruction manual is intended as a guide for
the operating staff in charge of the preventive
maintenance of the compressor. In addition to
data concerning the construction and operation
of the machine, the manual contains operating,
inspection and maintenance instructions which
should necessarily be followed in order to keep
the compressor in the proper state under normal
working conditions.
However, the working conditions of a compressor
largely depend on the type and construction of
the plant of which it forms part. Consequently this
instruction manual can only be regarded as a
guide; it is important that the instructions given by
the installation engineer are observed as well.
Only then can a prolonged and trouble-free
operation of the compressor be guaranteed.
The maintenance instructions are limited to those
operations which can be performed by the
operating staff and for which no specialist
knowledge is needed. Any parts to be replaced
can be ordered on the basis of drawings with
parts lists.
For more specialized repair and overhaul
operations, the installation engineer should be
consulted.
Faults and defects of the refrigeration compressor
should be remedied as soon as possible by
qualified personnel in order to reduce down-time
to a minimum and to prevent damage to the
compressor. The fault-finding table (Chapter 10)
may be used to trace and remedy faults quickly.
It is finally pointed out that in individual cases the
construction of the compressor may differ from
the normal design, in which event the instruction
may no more be applicable at certain specific
points. In such cases it is advisable to consult the
plant manual or contact the installation engineer.
The plant manual referred to above and in other
sections of this instruction manual should be
supplied by the contractor/installer.
