About these instructions
Read these instructions before assembly and before using the compressor. This will avoid
misunderstandings and prevent damage. Improper assembly and use of the compressor can lead to
serious or fatal injury.
Observe the safety instructions contained in these instructions.
These instructions must be passed onto the end customer along with the unit in which the
compressor is installed.
The safety advice, which is contained in these instructions for assembly, and which is relevant for
regular operation and maintenance, must be forwarded by the manufacturer in his own documents
to the operator of the entire system. It must also be ensured, that personnel working in daily
operation with the compressor have access to important information such as safety and warning
advice about the compressor. Such persons must read the safety advice and have understood it.
Bock assumes no liability for any damage arising from non-compliance.

pressurized refrigerant systems:
• For example, a refrigeration technician, refrigeration mechatronic
engineer. As well as professions with comparable training, which
enables 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.
1.1 Identicationofsafetyinstructions:
1.3 Danger to life and limb in the event of faults during operation
WARNING If a compressor continues to be operated during extreme running
noise and/or a sharp reduction in refrigerating capacity, there is
the danger of further events occurring, such as the fracture of the
housing wall. If people are standing in the immediate surround-
ings,thereis the riskof severe injury or evendeath from ying
parts.:
• In the event of extreme running noise, switch the compressor off
immediately.
• If there is a sharp reduction in refrigerating capacity, switch the
compressor off immediately.
• Secure the compressor against being switched on again.
• In such cases do not continue to operate the compressor under any
circumstances.

1|Safety
These assembly instructions describe the standard version of the FK50 manufactured by Bock. The
compressor is intended for use in refrigeration systems in compliance with the limits of application.
Onlytherefrigerantspeciedintheseinstructionsmaybeused.
Any other use of the compressor is prohibited!
The Bock refrigerating compressor named in the title is intended for installation 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 permissible only if the compressor has been installed in accordance with these
assembly instructions and the entire system into which it is integrated has been inspected and
approved in accordance with legal regulations.
1.5 Intended use
1.4 General safety instructions
WARNING Risk of accidents.
Refrigerating compressors are pressurised machines and as such
call for heightened 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 discharge side or below 0°C on the suction side
can be reached.
- Avoid contact with refrigerant necessarily.
Contact with refrigerant can cause severe burns and skin
damage.

2|Product description
Two different designs are available for various ranges of application:
> for air-conditioning the K Design
> for air-conditioning or normal cooling the N Design
The differences lie mainly in the valve plate tooling which is adapted to each applica-
tion range where operational safety and efficiency are concerned.
Compact six cylinder compressor in W design.
Six capacity ranges.
Lightweight aluminum design.
Lubricating oil pump with oil pressure relief valve independent of rotational direction.
Variable arrangement of the shut-off valves.

ATTENTION Compressor operation is possible within the operating limits.
These can be found in Bock compressor selection tool (VAP)
under vap.bock.de. Observe the information given there.
- Max. permissible discharge end temperature: 140°C
- Permissible ambient temperature: (-20°C) - (+100°C)
-Max.permissibleswitchingfrequency:12x/h
-A minimum running time of 2 min. at equilibrium (continuous
operation) must be achieved.
Avoid continuous operation near the threshold. Should the com-
pressor happen to be used near the thresholds, we recommend the
use of a thermal protection thermostat (Accessories, Chap. 7).
For operation with capacity regulator:
- Continuous operation, when the capacity regulator is activated,
is not permissible and can cause damage to the compressor.
See Chapter 7.1.
- The suction gas superheat temperature may need to be reduced
or set individually when operating near to the threshold.
- When the capacity regulator is activated, the gas velocity in the
systemcannotundercertaincircumstancesensurethatsuf-
cient oil is transported back to the compressor.
When operating in the vacuum range, there is a danger of air en-
tering on the suction side. This can cause chemical reactions, a
pressure rise in the condenser and an elevated compressed-gas
temperature. Prevent the ingress of air at all costs!
INFO For recharging, we recommend the above oil types. See Chapter
6.6.
