6. Operation and maintenance
6.1 Compressor startup
PRESTART CHECKING Table below shows the required procedures and checkpoints before startingup the
compressor during commissioning or initial operation of the unit.
Items
Things to be checked
States or standard values
1. Accessories
1. Oil level
2. Oil heater
3. System valves status
4. Solenoid valves
5. Capillary
1. Higher than the middle line of oil level sight glass
2. Should be kept energizing after compressor shut
down.
3. Opened
4. Fixed
5. No serious distortion or damaged
2. Electrical system
1. Voltage of main power
2. Voltage of control circuit
3.
Insulation resistance value of the
motor between phase to phase and
phase to ground.
4. Power terminals and wire cables’
terminal
s connection.
5. Grounded
6. Capacity of electrical accessories
7. Settings of switches, sensors and
controllers.
1. Electricity voltage should be kept within 5
%
to the
rated voltage, instant maximum voltage drop while
starting should be less than 10% to the rated
voltage.
2. Standard voltage
is
220V. Maximum
voltage is 230V.
If there is other demand, contact HANBELL.
3. Insulation resistance value should be above 5M
.
4. Power terminals are firmly fixed on terminal block
and well insulated. Keep wire cables away from
heat source and sharpened metal. Power terminals
are fixed firmly and well insulated. Terminal screw
and block are both required.
5. (Ruled by the local Electricity Regulations.)
6. Properly selected (or inquired by the system
designer.)
7. Properly set (or inquired by the system designer.)
3. Piping system
1. Outer piping system
2. Leakage test
3. Bolts to fix the compressor.
1. Fixed firmly.
2. No leakage.
3. Fix the compressor tightly.
4. Safety devices
1. Motor coil sensor (thermistor)
2. Discharge sensor (thermistor)
3. Controller
1. Connected in series with discharge sensor to
controller.
2. Connected in series with motor sensor to controller.
3. Closed circuit with N.C. & N.O.
In addition to the prestart checking given in the above table, please also consider the following:
a. It is necessary to pay more attention to the auxiliary facilities while the chiller is commissioning at the jobsite and the
periodic maintenance after the initial startup.
b. For a new chiller with compressor put in stock for a long time, it is recommended to add 1 to 1.5 liter of oil in the
motor casing to provide better screw rotor lubrication during compressor’s initial startup.
c. In order to keep the capacity control smoothly under the low ambient temperature with the normal viscosity of oil, oil
heater should be kept energizing after compressor has been shut down for preparation for the next startup.
d. Check that all the settings on each pressure switch are correct.
e. Check if all the stop valves in the system are already open.
f. Check the rotating direction of the compressor by starting the compressor for a split second (approx. 0.51 sec.) and
check the suction and discharge pressure gauges. The correct rotating direction is: suction pressure drops immediately
and the discharge pressure will go up.
g. Compressor’s lubrication oil should be checked immediately after starting. Oil level should be within sight glass
range or higher than the middle line of oil level sight glass.
h. Oil foaming can be generated during starting phase, but it should reduce when the compressor is under stable
operating conditions. Otherwise this can indicate excessive liquid in the suction gas.
i. The running condition of compressor after commissioning at the jobsite should be adjusted as; the discharge
temperature will be at least 20K above the saturated condensing temperature and the suction vapor superheat should
be within 10K to the saturated evaporating temperature.
j. The whole plant, especially the pipelines and capillary tubes must be checked for abnormal vibrations. Please contact
HANBELL or local distributor if any abnormal vibrations or noise found while compressor is running.
k. Regularly check the plant according to national regulations and the following items should also be checked:
●Operating data of the machine
●Check the lubrication/ oil level
●All compressor protection devices
●Check electrical cable connections and tightness
