PREFACE
This manual has been prepared to acquaint the owner and
serviceman with the INSTALLATION, OPERATION, and
MAIN TEN ANCE procedures as recommended by Johnson
Controls-Frick for RWF Rotary Screw Compres sor Units.
For information about the functions of the Quantum
™
control
panel, communications, specifications, and wiring diagrams,
see publication series S90-010 O, M, CS, and E90-010
SPC.
It is most important that these units be properly applied to an
adequately controlled refrigeration system. Your authori zed
Johnson Controls-Frick representative should be con sulted
for his expert guidance in this determination.
Proper performance and continued satisfaction with these
units is dependent upon:
CORRECT INSTALLATION
PROPER OPERATION
REGULAR, SYSTEMATIC MAINTENANCE
To ensure correct installation and application, the equip ment
must be properly selected and connected to a properly de-
signed and installed system. The Engi neering plans, piping
layouts, etc. must be detailed in accor dance with the best
practices and local codes, such as those outlined in ASHRAE
literature.
A refrigeration compressor is a VAPOR PUMP. To be certain
that it is not being subjected to liquid refriger ant carryover it
is necessary that refriger ant controls are carefully selected
and in good operating condition; the piping is properly sized
and traps, if necessary, are correct ly arranged; the suction
line has an accumulator or slugging protec tion; that load
surges are known and provisions made for control; operating
cycles and de frost ing periods are reasonable; and that high
side condensers are sized within system and compressor
design limits.
It is recommended that the entering vapor temperature to the
compressor be superheated to 10°F above the refriger ant
saturation temperature. This assures that all refrigerant at
the compressor suction is in the vapor state.
DESIGN LIMITATIONS
The compressor units are designed for operation within
the pressure and temperature limits as shown in Johnson
Controls-Frick Pub. E70-600 SED (Check with Johnson
Controls-Frick marketing dept. for availability).
JOB INSPECTION
Immediately upon delivery examine all crates, boxes and
exposed compressor and com ponent surfaces for dam age.
Unpack all items and check against shipping lists for any
discrepancy. Examine all items for damage in transit.
TRANSIT DAMAGE CLAIMS
All claims must be made by consignee. This is an ICC re-
quirement. Request immediate inspection by the agent of the
carrier and be sure the proper claim forms are execut ed.
Report damage or shortage claims im mediately to Johnson
Controls-Frick Sales Ad ministration Depart ment, in Waynes-
boro, PA.
COMPRESSOR and UNIT IDENTIFICATION
Each compressor unit has 2 identifica tion data plates. The
compressor data plate
containing compressor model and
serial number is mounted on the compressor body. The
unit
data plate
containing unit model, serial number and Johnson
Controls-Frick sales order number is mounted on the side of
the compressor base.
NOTE: When inquiring about the compres sor or unit, or
ordering repair parts, provide the MODEL, SERIAL, and
Johnson Controls-FRICK SALES ORDER NUMBERS
from these data plates.
