Features of the
Compound 2-stage Screw
Compressor 2016**C
The 2-stage compression system, which has hitherto required two units of standard-type screw
compressor for its embodiment, can now be realized by a single unit of compound 2-stage screw
compressor.
Generally, screw compressors use oil injection to keep discharge temperature at a low level during
operation without loss of volumetric efficiency even at high compression ratios. It can, therefore, be
operated with a single-stage compression system even at evaporative temperatures near -40
°
C.
However, for normal use at low temperatures, a 2-stage compression system is applied in order to
improve KW/RT (ratio of power consumption versus cooling ability). If the 2-stage compression system
is configured with standard-type screw compressors, at least two screw compressor units need to be
installed, one on the high-stage and the other on the low-stage, which inevitably requires double
installation of the entire system including machinery, motors, utilities, etc.
This 2-stage screw compressor is produced to solve this problem. It is a single unit that has two
single-stage compressor units combined into one.
The 2016**C model has a capacity control mechanism for startup load reduction on the high-stage, and
a capacity control mechanism for coping with load change on the low-stage.
There are various combinations of machine control methods/capacity control methods. However, as
they are not directly related to the inspection of the compressor, they are omitted here.

Model Designation of the Compressor
This manual describes 2016**C-*B*-51 and 2016**C-*B*-61 models.
The meaning of the type designation, which is engraved on the MODEL column of the compressor
nameplate, is as follows.
*2016**C-*B*-51/61
5: Power frequency (6: 60Hz)
1: Indicates that it is a motor directly connected type.
* Unless specifically specified, machines manufactured in
September, 2010 or after do not have this indication engraved
on their nameplate.
