These assembly instructions describe the standard version of the compressors named in the
title manufactured by GEA. GEA 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/EUPressureEquipmentDirective).
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 CO2in transcritical and/or subcritical systems in
compliance with the limits of application.
Onlytherefrigerantspeciedintheseinstructionsmaybeused.
Any other use of the compressor is prohibited!
1.4 Intended use
WARNING The compressor may not be used in potentially explosive
environments!
1.3 Safety instructions
WARNING Riskofaccident.
Refrigerating compressors are pressurised machines and therefore
requireparticularcautionandcareinhandling.
The maximum permissible overpressure must not be exceeded,
even for testing purposes.
Riskofburns!
-Dependingontheoperatingconditions,surfacetemperaturesof
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 contactwithrefrigerantcanleadtosevere burnsandskin
irritations.
Danger of suffocation.
CO2 is a nonammable, acidic, colorless and odorless gas and
heavier than air.
NeverreleasesignicantvolumesofCO2or the entire contents of
the system into closed rooms!
