Compressor Protective Devices (Safety Devices)
To protect the compressor, install the protective devices as indicated in "1.4.3 Compressor Protective
Devices" in this manual.
3.2.6 Airtightness
Test
Perform an airtightness test on the refrigerating/cold storage unit.
3.2.7 Lubricant
Charge
When refilling lubricant, ensure that it is clean and does not contain foreign
matters.
Be careful that air and water are not mixed in when refilling.
To ensure that the lubricant does not absorb air moisture, keep it indoors in an
airtight container until use.
3.2.7.1 Initial Charge of Lubricant
At initial test operation or after periodical inspection, the compressor's moving parts such as bearings
and mechanical seals may not be sufficiently lubricated. So, charge the compressor with lubricant
according to the following procedure.
1.
Thoroughly evacuate the compressor and oil separator (approximately 40 Torr). At this moment,
open all the solenoid valves used for the unloader, and evacuate the unloader cylinders.
2.
Close the oil separator outlet valve in the oil supply line. Also close the oil injection adjusting
valve.
3.
Charge lubricant from the drain valve on the
oil
cooler (or the drain valve on the oil filter).
4.
When the oil level reaches the lower limit of the oil level gauge of the oil separator, finish supplying
lubrication oil from the oil line. (Minimum amount to be charged of lubricant should be "the
volume of the oil cooler and oil approximately 20 liters". )
5.
Then, supply lubricant from the oil-supply valve of the oil separator until the oil reaches the
specified oil level.
6.
Start the oil pump. By checking the discharge pressure of the oil pump, confirm that the lubricant
is flowing.
If possible, check that the oil level of the oil separator goes down.
7.
Adjust the oil differential pressure of the oil pump. (Differential pressure should be "0.2±0.05
MPa".)
8.
After adjusting the differential pressure, run the oil pump for approximately 2 minutes. Check that
the motor main power is turned off, and then turn the compressor's drive shaft. (Turn the shaft
about 10 times, by using the coupling.)
9.
If the above work steps have made you confirm that lubrication oil is flowing normally through the
oil supply line, the initial charge for refrigerating machine is finished.
