5.6.11 High-stage Suction Cover and Side Bearings
The high-stage suction cover is an important part; it has an intermediate pressure gas inlet, provides
the function for sealing the casing's suction face, and is equipped with the side bearings for holding the
rotors.
5.6.11.1 Disassembly
a) Loosen and remove the hexagon socket head cap screws

that fasten the high-stage suction
cover
【

】
and high-stage rotor casing
【

.
b) The suction cover gasket

is stuck to the flange surface. Screw two hexagon socket head cap
screws

(which have been removed) into the holes on the rotor casing flange, to push the
suction cover evenly. When a small gap is created, peel up one side of the gasket by using a thin
knife or a spatula-shaped tool (Do not drive a screwdriver or chisel into the gap).
c) At the position where the alignment pins can be disengaged, draw out the suction cover all at once
in parallel with the axis. As the thrust bearings are disconnected, the rotors will be simultaneously
pulled out. Let the rotors stay in the casing.

d) The side bearing

is press-fit from the balance piston cover side of the suction cover.

, and push it out from the rotor side. It is not subject to disassembly
unless it has to be replaced.
5.6.11.2 Inspection
a) The suction cover itself does not cause problems. As the side bearing is a sliding part, check the
metal surface. If a foreign matter is embedded or any defect is found, replace the part. As the inner
diameter of the side bearing is interrelated with the rotor shaft, make judgment based on the
correlative gap.
b) The inner surface of the rotor casing is supposed to have no problem as there is a gap. If, however,
there are signs of sliding wear or the like on the rotor side face, it is considered that thrust bearings
are defective.
c) In the standard specifications, oil injection is not used at the high-stage.
d) The high-stage suction cover of 2016**C has a hole into which the unloader push rod is drawn.
