WARNING Inadequately qualied personnel poses the risk of accidents, the
consequence being serious or fatal injury. Work on compressors
must therefore only be performed by personnel with appropriate
expert knowledge and the qualications listed below:
• For example, a refrigeration technician, refrigeration mechatronics
engineer. As well as professions with comparable training, which
enable personnel to assemble, install, maintain and repair refrigeration
and air-conditioning systems. Personnel must be capable of assessing
the work to be carried out and recognising any potential dangers.

These assembly instructions describe the standard version of the compressors named in the
title manufactured by Bock. Bock refrigerating compressors are intended for installing in a
machine (within the EU according to the EU Directives 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive and
2014/68/EU Pressure Equipment Directive).
Commissioning is only permissible if the compressors have been installed in accordance with these
assembly instructions and the entire system into which they are integrated has been inspected and
approved in accordance with legal regulations.
The compressors are intended for use with CO2 in transcritical and/or subcritical systems in compli-
ance with the limits of application.
Only the refrigerant specied in these instructions may be used.
Any other use of the compressor is prohibited!
1.4 Intended use
1.3 Safety instructions
WARNING Risk of accident.
Refrigerating compressors are pressurised machines and therefore
require particular caution and care in handling.
The maximum permissible overpressure must not be exceeded,
even for testing purposes.
Risk of burns!
- Depending on the operating conditions, surface temperatures of
over 60 °C on the pressure side or below 0 °C on the suction side
can be reached.
- Avoid the contact with refrigerant under any circumstances.
The contact with refrigerant can lead to severe burns and skin
irritations.
Danger of suffocation.
CO2 is a nonammable, acidic, colourless and odourless gas and
heavier than air.
Never release signicant volumes of CO2or the entire contents of
the system into closed rooms!
Safety installations are designed or adjusted in accordance with EN
378-2 or appropriate safety standards.
• Transcritical CO2applications are still in the development phase.
• They require a completely new kind of system and control.
• They are not a general solution for the substitution of F-gases.
• Therefore, we expressly point out that all information in this
assembly instruction has been provided according to our current
level of knowledge and may change due to further development.
Legal claims based on the correctness of the information cannot
be made at any time and are hereby expressly excluded.
WARNING The compressor may not be used in potentially explosive
environments!

• Semi-hermetic four-cylinder reciprocating compressor with suction gas cooled driving motor.
• The ow of refrigerant sucked in from the evaporator is led over the engine and provides for a
particularly intensive cooling. Thus the engine can be kept on a relatively low temperature level
specially during high load.
• Oil pump independent of direction of rotation for reliable and safe oil supply.
• One decompression valve each on the low and high pressure side, which vent into the atmos-
phere when inadmissibly high pressure levels are reached.

3.4 Selection and operation of frequency converters
For the approved frequency range of the compressor, see chapter 3.3, operating limits.
The maximum current of the compressor (Imax) (see name plate or technical data) must not be ex-
ceeded. If abnormal vibrations occur in the system, the affected frequency ranges must be blanked
out accordingly in the frequency converter.
The maximum output current of the frequency converter must be greater than the maximum cur-
rent of the compressor. (I max) of the compressor.
For a safe start of the compressor, the frequency converter must be able to apply a short-term
overload of min. 160 % of the maximum current (Imax) of the compressor for min. 3 seconds.
Carry out all designs and installations according to the local safety regulations and common rules
(e.g. VDE) and regulations as well as according to the specications of the frequency converter
manufacturer.

Material soldering / welding connection: S235 (JRG2C)
The pipe connections have graduated inside diameters so that pipes with
standard millimetre and inch dimensions can be used.
The connection diameters of the shut-off valves are rated for maximum
compressor output. The actual required pipe cross section must be
matched to the output. The same applies for non-return valves.
Fig. 5: graduated
internal diameter
4.3 Connecting the pipelines - solder system
ATTENTION Damage possible.
Superheating can damage the valve.
Remove the pipe supports therefore from the valve for soldering
and accordingly cool the valve body during and after soldering.
Only solder using inert gas to inhibit oxidation products (scale).
• On its high-pressure side, the compressor has a shut-off valve with multi-sided cutting ring for safe
installation of the discharge line.
Cutting ring function after tightening the union nut
. . . . .
4.4 Connecting the pipelines - cutting ring system
Fig. 6
Figure similar
Tube preparation:
The tube has to be sawn in a right angle. An angular tolerance of ± 1° is permissible.
Slightly trim the pipe ends inside and outside. For thin walled steel pipes or soft pipes made of
nonferrous metal, reinforcing sleeves have to be used.
Pipe assembly:
Push union nut (5) and cutting ring (3) onto pipe (2). Insert pipe into socket (6) as far as it will go and
firmly press against pipe stop, otherwise incorrect assembly. Hand tighten union nut until socket,
cutting ring and union nut are locked. Tighten union nut 1 1/2 turns using a spanner wrench. The
cutting ring is noticeably locked to the socket face (for assembly inside pipe connection, hold up
valve with a spanner wrench). This should cause the cutting ring with its cutting edges (1) to cut into
the pipe resulting in a visible collar. In order to stick to the turns we recommend using marking lines
on union nut and pipe. After assembly, it is necessary to check the collar. The gasket must not be
damaged. At least 80 % of the cutting face has to be covered. After check-up, screw on and tighten
again as described above.

CAUTION Risk of injury.
The compressor must be depressurized through connections A1
and B1 before commencing any work and prior to connecting to
the refrigerant system.
4.5 Pipes
Pipes and system components must be clean and dry inside and free of scale, swarf and layers of
rust and phosphate. Only use hermetically sealed parts.
Lay pipes correctly. Suitable vibration compensators must be provided to prevent pipes being
cracked and broken by severe vibrations.
Ensure a proper oil return.
Keep pressure losses to an absolute minimum.

4.7 Laying suction and pressure lines
A rule of thumb: Always lay the rst pipe section starting from the shut-off valve downwards and
parallel to the drive shaft.
ATTENTION Property damage possible.
Improperly installed pipes can cause cracks and tears which can
result in a loss of refrigerant.
INFO Proper layout of the suction and pressure lines directly after
the compressor is integral to the smooth running and vibration
behaviour of the system.

4.8 Operating the shut-off valves (example)
Before opening or closing the shut-off valve, release the valve spindle seal by approx. 1/4 of a turn
counter-clockwise.
After activating the shut-off valve, re-tighten the adjustable valve spindle seal clockwise.

To ensure the oil return function will work reliably no matter what kind of system conguration you
are using, GEA recommends incorporating oil separators or oil level monitoring equipment. The "O"
connection is already available from the factory for the purpose of installing the additional oil level
monitoring component. Oil should be returned from the oil separator to the compressor via the "D1"
connection provided for this purpose on the compressor.
4.10 Oil return
For systems with long pipes and higher degree of contamination, a lter on the
suction-side is recommended. The lter has to be be renewed depending on the degree of contamina-
tion (reduced pressure loss).

Use suitable cable glands of the correct protection type (see name
plate) for routing cables into the terminal box. Insert the strain reliefs
and prevent chafe marks on the cables.
Compare the voltage and frequency values with the data for the
mains power supply.
Only connect the motor if these values are the same.
DANGER Risk of electric shock! High voltage!
Only carry out work when the electrical system is disconnected
from the power supply!
ATTENTION When attaching accessories with an electrical cable, a minimum
bending radius of 3 x the cable diameter must be maintained for
laying the cable.

5.1 Information for contactor and motor contactor selection
All protection equipment, switching and monitoring devices must comply with the local safety reg-
ulations and established specications (e.g. VDE) as well as the manufacturer’s specications.
Motor protection switches are required! Motor contactors, feed lines, fuses and motor protec-
tion switches must be rated according to the maximum operating current (see name plate). For
motor protection, use a current-dependent, time-delayed overload protection device for monitoring
all three phases. Adjust the overload protection device so that it must be actuated within 2 hours at
1.2 times the maximum working current.

5.4 Electronic trigger unit INT69 G
5.5 Connection of the trigger unit INT69 G
The compressor motor is tted with cold conductor temperature sensors (PTC) connected to the
electronic trigger unit INT69 G in the terminal box. In case of excess temperature in the motor
winding, the INT69 G deactivates the motor contactor. Once cooled, it can be restarted only if the
electronic lock of the output relay (terminals B1+B2) is released by interrupting the supply voltage.
The hot gas side of the compressor can also be protected against overtemperature using thermal
protection thermostats (accessory).
The unit trips when an overload or inadmissible operating conditions occur. Find and remedy
the cause.
INFO The relay switching output is executed as a oating changeover
contact. This electrical circuit operates according to the quiescent
current principle, i.e. the relay drops into a the idle position and
deactivates the motor contactor even in case of a sensor break or
open circuit.
INFO Connect the trigger unit INT69 G in accordance with the circuit dia-
gram. Protect the trigger unit with a delayed-action fuse (FC2) of
max. 4 A. In order to guarantee the protection function, install the
trigger unit as the rst element in the control power circuit.

5.7 Oil sump heater
In order to avoid damage to the compressor, the compressor is equipped with an oil sump heater as
a standard feature.
Operation: The oil sump heater operates when the compressor is at a standstill.
When the compressor starts up, the oil sump heating switches off.
Connection: The oil sump heater must be connected via an auxiliary contact (or parallel wired auxiliary
contact) of the compressor contactor to a separate electric circuit.
Electrical data: 220 - 240 V - 1 - 50/60 Hz, 80 W.
ATTENTION The oil sump heater must generally be connected and operated!

6.1 Preparations for start-up
The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested. There are
therefore no special running-in instructions.
Check the compressor for transport damage!
INFO In order to protect the compressor against inadmissible operating
conditions, high-pressure and low-pressure pressostats controls
are mandatory on the installation side.
WARNING When the compressor is not running, depending on ambient
temperature and amount of refrigerant charge, it is possible
that the pressure may rise and exceed permitted levels for the
compressor. Adequate precautions must be taken to prevent this
happening (e.g. using a cold storage medium, a receiver tank, a
secondary refrigerant system, or pressure relief devices).
6.2 Pressure strength test
The compressor has been tested in the factory for pressure integrity. If however the entire system is
to be subjected to a pressure integrity test, this should be carried out in accordance with EN 378-2
or a corresponding safety standard without the inclusion of the compressor.
6.3 Leak test
Carry out the leak test on the refrigerating plant in accordance with EN 378-2 or a corresponding
safety standard, while always observing the maximum permissible overpressure for the compressor.
Only dry test gases may be used for the leak test, e.g. nitrogen N2 min. 4.6 (= purity 99.996 % or
higher).
DANGER Risk of bursting!
The compressor must only be pressurised using nitrogen (N2).
Never pressurise with oxygen or other gases!
The maximum permissible overpressure of the compressor must
not be exceeded at any time during the testing process (see name
plate data)! Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen as this
could cause the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
