PREFACE
This manual has been prepared to acquaint the owner and
serviceman with the INSTALLATION, OPERATION, and
MAIN TEN ANCE procedures as recommended by Frick for
RXB PLUS Rotary Screw Compres sor Units.
It is most important that these units be properly applied to an
adequately controlled refrigeration system. Your authorized
Frick representative should be con sulted for his expert guid-
ance in this determination.
Proper performance and continued satisfaction with these
units is dependent upon:
CORRECT INSTALLATION
PROPER OPERATION
REGULAR, SYSTEMATIC MAINTENANCE
To ensure correct installation and application, the equip ment
must be properly selected and connected to a properly de-
signed and installed system. The Engi neering plans, piping
layouts, etc. must be detailed in accor dance with the best
practices and local codes, such as those outlined in ASHRAE
literature.
A refrigeration compressor is a VAPOR PUMP. To be certain
that it is not being subjected to liquid refriger ant carryover, it
is necessary that refriger ant controls are carefully selected
and in good operating condition; the piping is properly sized
and traps, if necessary, are correct ly arranged; the suction
line has an accumulator or slugging protec tion; that load
surges are known and provisions made for control; operating
cycles and de frost ing periods are reasonable; and that high
side condensers are sized within system and compressor
design limits.
It is recommended that the entering vapor temperature to the
compressor be superheated to 10OF above the refriger ant
saturation temperature. This ensures that all refrigerant at
the compressor suction is in the vapor state.
DESIGN LIMITATIONS
The compressor units are designed for operation within
the pressure and temperature limits as shown in Frick Pub.
E70-100 SED.
JOB INSPECTION
Immediately upon arrival examine all crates, boxes and
exposed compressor and com ponent surfaces for dam age.
Unpack all items and check against shipping lists for any
possible shortage. Examine all items for damage in transit.
TRANSIT DAMAGE CLAIMS
All claims must be made by consignee. This is an ICC re-
quirement. Request immediate inspection by the agent of
the carrier and be sure the proper claim forms are execut ed.
Report damage or shortage claims im mediately to Frick ,
Sales Ad ministration Depart ment, in Waynes boro, PA.
COMPRESSOR and UNIT IDENTIFICATION

Installation
FOUNDATION
Each RXB PLUS Rotary Screw Compressor Unit is shipped
mounted on a wood skid which must be removed prior to unit
installation. CAUTION: Allow space for servicing both ends
of the unit. A minimum of 24 inches is recommended.
The first requirement of the compressor foundation is that it
must be able to support the weight of the compressor pack-
age including coolers, oil, and refrigerant charge. Screw
compressors are capable of converting large quantities of
shaft power into gas compression in a relatively small space
and a mass is required to effectively dampen these relatively
high frequency vibrations.
Firmly anchoring the compressor package to a suitable
foundation by proper application of grout and elimination of
piping stress imposed on the compressor is the best insur-
ance for a trouble free installation. Use only the certified
general arrangement drawings from Frick to determine the
mounting foot locations and to allow for recommended clear-
ances around the unit for ease of operation and servicing.
Foundations must be in compliance with local building codes
and materials should be of industrial quality.
The floor should be a minimum of 6 inches of reinforced
concrete and housekeeping pads are recommended. Anchor
bolts are required to firmly tie the unit to the floor. Once the
unit is rigged into place (See HANDLING and MOVING), the
feet must then be shimmed in order to level the unit. The
shims should be placed to position the feet roughly one inch
above the housekeeping pad to allow room for grouting. An
expansion-type epoxy grout must be worked under all areas
of the base with no voids and be allowed to settle with a slight
outward slope so oil and water can run off of the base.
When installing on a steel base, the following guidelines
should be implemented to properly design the system base:
1. Use I-beams in the skid where the screw compressor will
be attached to the system base. They should run parallel to
the package feet and support the feet for their full length.
2. The compressor unit feet should be continuously welded to
the system base at all points of contact, or bolted.
3. The compressor unit should not be mounted on vibration
isolators in order to hold down package vibration levels.
4. The customer’s foundation for the system base should fully
support the system base under all areas, but most certainly
under the I-beams that support the compressor package.
When installing on the upper floors of buildings, extra precau-
tions should be taken to prevent normal package vibration
from being transferred to the building structure. It may be
necessary to use rubber or spring isolators, or a combination
of both, to prevent the transmission of compressor vibration
directly to the structure. However, this may increase package
vibration levels because the compressor is not in contact with
any damping mass. The mounting and support of suction
and discharge lines is also very important. Rubber or spring
pipe supports may be required to avoid exciting the building
structure at any pipe supports close to the compressor pack-
age. It is best to employ a vibration expert in the design of
a proper mounting arrangement.
In any screw compressor installation, suction and discharge lines
should be supported in pipe hangers (preferably within 2 ft. of
vertical pipe run) so that the lines won’t move if disconnected
from the compressor. See table for Allowable Flange Loads.
HANDLING AND MOVING
THIS UNIT MAY BE TOP HEAVY.
USE CARE WHILE HANDLING.
Spreader bars should be used on
both the length and width of the package to prevent
bending of oil lines and damage to the package.
The unit can be moved with rigging, using a crane or forklift.
The recommended method is to insert lengths of 2” pipe
through the lifting holes in the vertical supports (see FIG. 1).
Alternatively, hooks may be used in rigging, inserting them
in the lifting holes (see FIG. 2).
Use CAUTION in locating the lifting ring. If no motor is
mounted, the lifting ring should be moved off center to
the compressor side of the unit because 60 percent of the
weight is toward the compressor end. If a motor is mounted,
appropriate adjust ment in the lifting point should be made
to compensate for motor weight. Adjustment of the lifting
point must also be made for any additions to the standard
package, such as an external oil cooler, etc., as the center
of balance will be affected.
Figure 1 - Recommended Lifting Method
A licensed architect should be consulted to determine the
proper foundation requirements for any large engine or
turbine drive.
When applying screw compressors at high pressures, the
customer must be prepared for package vibration and noise
higher than the values predicted for normal refrigeration duty.
Proper foundations and proper installation methods are vital;
and even then, sound attenuation or noise curtains may be
required to reduce noise to desired levels.
For more detailed information on Screw Compressor Founda-
tions, please request Frick publication S70-210 IB.

Figure 2 - Alternative Lifting Method
The unit can be moved with a forklift by forking under the skid,
or it can be skidded into place with pinch bars by pushing
against the skid. NEVER MOVE THE UNIT BY PUSHING
OR FORKING AGAINST THE SEPARATOR SHELL OR ITS
MOUNT ING SUPPORTS.
SKID REMOVAL
If the unit is rigged into place the skid can be removed
by taking off the nuts and bolts that are fastening the unit
mounting supports to the skid before lowering the unit onto
the mounting surface.
If the unit is skidded into place, remove the cross mem bers
from the skid and remove the nuts anchoring the unit to the
skid. Using a 5-ton jack under the separator, raise the unit
at the compressor end until it clears the two mounting bolts.
Spread the skid to clear the unit mounting support, then lower
the unit to the surface. Repeat proced ure on opposite end.
MOTOR MOUNTING
The following procedure is required only when the motor is
mounted at the job site.
1. Thoroughly clean the motor feet and mounting pads of
grease, burrs, and other foreign matter to ensure firm seat-
ing of the motor.
2. Attach the motor to the base using the bolts and motor-
raising blocks, if required. Bolt snugly through the base.
3. Weld the four kick bolts into place so that they are posi-
tioned to allow movement of the motor feet.
4. Now that the motor has been set, check that the shafts
are properly spaced for the coupling being used. Refer to
the coupling data table for the applicable dimension.
COMPRESSOR/MOTOR COUPLING
INSTALLATION
RXB PLUS units are arranged for direct motor drive and
require a flexible drive coupling to connect the compressor
to the motor. Before installing, perform the following:
1. Inspect the shaft of the motor and compressor to ensure
that no nicks, grease, or foreign matter is present.
2. Inspect the bores in the coupling hubs to make sure that
they are free of burrs, dirt, and grit.
3. Check that the keys fit the hubs and shafts properly.
CH COUPLING – The T.B. Woods Elastomeric CH Coupling
is used in most applications. It consists of two drive hubs
and a loose, gear-type Hytrel Drive Spacer. The split hub is
clamped to the shaft by tightening the clamp screws. Torque
is transmitted from the motor through the elastomeric gear
which floats freely between the hubs. Install as follows:
IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE COU-
PLING CENTER BE REMOVED
AND THE DIRECTION OF MOTOR
ROTATION BE CONFIRMED BEFORE RUNNING THE
COMPRESSOR. Proper rotation of the compressor shaft
is clockwise looking at the end of the compressor shaft.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS STEP COULD RESULT IN
BACKWARD COMPRESSOR ROTATION WHICH CAN
CAUSE COMPRESSOR FAILURE OR EXPLOSION OF
THE SUCTION HOUSING.
1. Slide one hub onto each shaft as far as possible. It may
be necessary to use a screwdriver as a wedge in the slot to
open the bore before the hubs will slide onto the shafts.
2. Hold the elastomeric gear between the hubs and slide both
hubs onto the gear to fully engage the mating teeth. Make
sure that the keys on the compressor and motor halves of
the coupling are offset 180O (see FIG. 3). Center the gear
and hub assembly so there is equal engagement on both
shafts. Adjust the space between hubs as specified in the
CH Coupling Data Table below.
3. Torque the clamping bolts in both hubs to the torque value
given in the CH Data Table. DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANT
ON THESE BOLTS.
4. Proceed to Coupling Alignment.

Figure 4 - Angular Misalignment
COUPLING ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
The life of the compressor shaft seal and bearings, as well
as the life of the motor bearings, is dependent upon proper
coupling alignment. Couplings may be aligned at the factory
but realignment MUST ALWAYS be done on the job site
after the unit is securely mounted on its founda tion. Initial
alignment must be made prior to start-up and rechecked
after a few hours of operation. Final (HOT) field alignment
can only be made when the unit is at operating tempera ture.
After final (HOT) alignment has been made and found to be
satisfac tory for approximately one week, the motor may be
dowelled to maintain align ment.
NOTE: Frick recommends cold aligning the motor .005”
high. This cold misalignment compensates for thermal
growth when the unit is at operating temperature.
Use dial indicators to measu re the angular and parallel shaft
misalign ment. Coupling alignment is attained by alternately
measuring angular and parallel misalignment and reposi-
tioning the motor until the misalignment is within specified
tolerances. The following procedure is recommended.
MISALIGNMENT MUST NOT EX-
CEED .004” FOR ALL CH COU-
PLINGS.
ANGULAR ALIGNMENT
1. To check angular alignment, as shown in Figure 4, attach
dial indicator rigidly to the motor hub. Move indicator stem
so it is in contact with the outside face of compressor hub,
as shown in Figure 5.
2. Rotate both coupling hubs several revolutions until they
seek their normal axial positions.
Check the dial indicator to be sure that the indicator stem is
slightly loaded so as to allow movement in both direc tions.
3. Set the dial indicator at zero when viewed at the 12 o’clock
position, as shown in Figure 5.
4. Rotate both coupling hubs together 180O (6 o’clock posi-
tion), as shown in Figure 6. At this position the dial indicator
will show TOTAL angular misalignment.
NOTE: The use of a mirror is helpful in reading the indi-
cator dial as coupling hubs are rotated.
5. Loosen motor anchor bolts and move or shim motor to
correct the angular misalignment.
After adjustments have been made for angular mis align ment
retighten anchor bolts to prevent inac curate read ings. Repeat
Steps 3 through 5 to check corrections. Further adjustments
and checks shall be made for angular misalignment until the
total in dicator reading is within the specified tolerance.

PARALLEL ALIGNMENT
6. To check parallel alignment, as shown in Figure 7, reposi-
tion dial indicator so the stem is in contact with the rim of the
compressor hub, as shown in Figure 8.
Check the dial indicator to be sure that the indicator stem is
slightly loaded so as to allow movement in both directions.
7. Check parallel height misalignment by setting dial indica-
tor at zero when viewed at the 12 o’clock position. Rotate
both coupling hubs together 180O (6 o’clock position). At this
position the dial indicator will show TWICE the amount of
parallel height misalignment.
8. Loosen motor anchor bolts and add or remove shims under
the four motor feet until parallel height misalignment is within
specified tolerance when anchor bolts are retightened.
CARE MUST BE USED WHEN COR-
RECTING FOR PARALLEL MIS-
ALIGNMENT TO ENSURE THAT
THE AXIAL SPACING AND ANGULAR MISALIGNMENT
IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DISTURBED.
9. After the parallel height misalignment is within tolerance,
repeat Steps 1 through 5 until angular misalignment is within
specified tolerance.
10. Check parallel lateral misalignment by positioning dial
indicator so the stem is in contact with the rim of the com-
pressor hub at 3 o’clock, as shown in Figure 9.
Set indicator at zero and rotate both coupling hubs together
180O (9 o’clock position), as shown in Figure 8.
Adjust parallel lateral misalignment using the motor adjusting
screws until reading is within specified tolerance.
11. Recheck angular misalignment and realign if neces-
sary.
12. Tighten motor anchor bolts and rotate both coupling hubs
together, checking the angular and parallel misalignment
through the full 360O travel at 90O increments. If dial readings
are in excess of specified tolerance, realign as required.
13. When the coupling hubs have been aligned to within
specified tolerance, a recording of the cold alignment must
be made for unit records and usage during hot alignment.
14. Bump the motor to check for correct compressor rotation.
COMPRESSOR ROTATION IS CLOCKWISE WHEN FAC-
ING COMPRESSOR SHAFT (see “CHECKING MOTOR/
COMPRESSOR ROTATION”, page 9). After verification,
install gear or disk drive spacer, as applicable.
15. Install the coupling guard before operating the compres-
sor.
When installing drive spacer, make
sure that hub spacing is within
limits shown on the Coupling Data
Table applicable to the coupling being installed and that
the clamping bolt(s) are properly torqued.

HOT ALIGNMENT OF COMPRESSOR/MOTOR
Hot alignments can only be made after the unit has oper-
ated for several hours and all components are at operating
temperatures.
Shut down the unit and quickly affix dial indicator to coupling
motor hub, then take readings of both the face and rim of the
compressor hub. If these readings are within tolerance, record
reading, attach coupling guard, and restart unit. However, if
the reading is not within limits, compare the hot reading with
the cold alignment and adjust for this difference; i.e. if the
rim at 0° and 180° readings indicates that the motor rises
.005" between its hot and cold state, .005" of shims should
be removed from under the motor.
After the initial hot alignment adjustment is made, restart unit
and bring to operating temperature. Shut down and recheck
hot alignment. Repeat procedure unit hot alignment is within
specified tolerance.
INSTALL COUPLING GUARD BE-
FORE OPERATING COMPRESSOR.
CHECKING MOTOR/COMPRESS OR
ROTA TION
COMPRESSOR ROTATION IS CLOCKWISE WHEN FAC-
ING THE END OF THE COMPRESSOR SHAFT. Under NO
conditions should the motor rotation be check ed with the
coupling center installed as damage to the com pressor may
result. See Figure 10.

Figure 10 - Motor/Compressor Rotation
HOLDING CHARGE AND STORAGE
Each compressor unit is pressure and leak tested at the Frick
factory and then thoroughly evacuated and charged with dry
nitrogen to ensure the integrity of the unit during shipping
and short term storage prior to installation.
NOTE: Care must be taken when entering the unit to
ensure that the nitrogen charge is safely released.
All units must be kept in a clean, dry location to prevent
corrosion damage. Reasonable consideration must be
given to proper care for the solid state components of the
microprocessor. Unit which will be stored for more than
two months must have the nitrogen charge checked
periodically.
COMPRESSOR UNIT OIL
DO NOT MIX OILS of different
brands, manufacturers, or types.
Mixing of oils may cause excessive
oil foaming, nuisance oil level cutouts, oil pressure loss,
gas or oil leakage and catastrophic compressor failure.
Use of filter elements other than
Frick must be approved in writing
by Frick engineering or warranty
claim may be denied.
The oil charge shipped with the unit is the best suited lubri-
cant for the conditions specified at the time of purchase. If
there is any doubt due to the refrigerant, operating pressures,
or temperatures; refer to Frick Publication 160.802-SPC for
guidance.
OIL CHARGE
The normal charging level is midway in the top sight glass
located midway along the oil separator shell. Normal oper-
ating level is between the top sight glass and bottom
sight glass. The following table gives the approximate oil
charge quantity.

Add oil by attaching the end of a suitable pressure type
hose to the oil charging valve, located on the top of the oil
separator on the compressor end of the separator. Using a
pressure-type pump and the recommended Frick oil, open
the charging valve and pump oil into the separator.
Oil distillers and similar equipment which act to trap oil must
be filled prior to unit operation to normal design outlet levels.
The same pump used to charge the unit may be used for
filling these auxiliary oil reservoirs.
NOTE: The sight glass, located near the bottom of the
separator shell at the discharge end, should remain
empty when the unit is in operation. The presence of oil
in this end of the vessel during operation indicates liquid
carryover or malfunction of the oil return.
OIL HEATER
Standard units are equipped with a 500 watt oil heater,
providing sufficient heat to maintain the oil tempera ture for
most indoor applications during shutdown cycles to permit
safe start-up. Should additional heating capacity be required
because of unusual environmental condition, contact Frick
Company. The heater is energized only when the unit is not
in operation.
DO NOT ENERGIZE THE HEATER
WHEN THERE IS NO OIL IN THE
UNIT, OTHERWISE THE HEATER
WILL BURN OUT. THE OIL HEATER WILL BE ENERGIZED
WHENEVER 120 VOLT CONTROL POWER IS APPLIED
TO THE UNIT AND THE COM PRESSOR IS NOT RUNNING
UNLESS THE 10 AMP FUSE (1FU) IN THE CONTROL
PANEL IS REMOVED.

LIQUID INJECTION OIL COOLING
The liquid injection system provided on the unit is self-con-
tained but requires the connection of the liquid line sized as
shown in the table and careful insertion of the expansion valve
bulb into the thermowell provided in the separator. High pres-
sure gas is connected through the regulator to the external
port on the liquid injection valve to control oil temperature.
Refer to the liquid injection piping diagram.
NOTE: For booster applications, the high pressure gas
connection must be taken from a high side source (high-
stage compressor discharge). This should be a minimum
3/8" line connected into the solenoid valve provided. This
gas is required by the expansion valve external port to
control oil temperature.
High-stage compressor units may be supplied with single-
port (low Vi) or dual-port (low Vi and high Vi), liquid injection
oil cooling. Single port will be furnished for low compression
ratio operation and dual port for high compression ratio opera-
tion. Booster compressor units use single-port, liquid injection
oil cooling due to the typically lower compression ratios.
The control system on high-stage units with dual-port, liquid
injection oil cooling switches the liquid refrigerant supply to
the high port when the compressor is operating at higher
compression ratios (3.5 Vi and above) for best efficiency.
The following table gives the condensing temperature(s)
with the corresponding maximum evaporator temperature
limit for liquid injection usage and the minimum evaporator
temperature for a single-port application.

Where low compres sion ratios (low condensing pressures)
are anticipated, thermo syphon or water-cooled oil cooling
should be used. It is IMPERA TIVE that an uninterrupt ed
supply of high pres sure liquid refrig erant be provided to
the injection system at all times. Two items of EXTREME
IMPORTANCE are the design of the receiver/liquid injection
supply and the size of the liquid line. It is recommended that
the receiver be oversized sufficiently to retain a 5 minute
supply of refrigerant for oil cooling. The evaporator supply
must be secondary to this considera tion. Two methods of
ac complishing this are shown.
DUAL DIP TUBE METHOD
The dual dip tube method uses two dip tubes in the re ceiv-
er. The liquid injection tube is below the evaporator tube to
ensure continued oil cooling when the receiver level is low.
Figure 11 - Dual Dip Tube Liquid Injection
LEVEL CONTROL METHOD
The level control method utilizes a float level control on the
receiver to close a solenoid valve feeding the evapora tor
when the liquid falls below that amount necessary for 5
minutes of liquid injection oil cooling.

WATER-COOLED OIL COOLING (OPTION AL)
The shell and tube-type, water-cooled oil cooler is mounted
on the unit complete with all oil piping. The customer must
supply adequate water connections and install the two-way
water regulating valve. It is recom mended that (local codes
permitting) the water regula tor be installed on the water outlet
connection. Insert the water regulator valve bulb and well in

the chamber provided on the oil outlet connection. Determine
the size of the water-cooled oil cooler supplied with the unit,
then refer to table for the water connec tion size and water
flow range (GPM). The water supply must be sufficient to
meet the required flow.
It is imperative that the condition of cooling water and closed
loop fluids be analyzed and maintained regularly and as
necessary to prevent corrosion of heat exchanger surfaces.
The oxygen content of river water and some other cooling
water sources will oxidize steel tubes and cause premature
failure. Careful attention to water treatment is essential to
ensure adequate life of steel cooler tubes if cooling tower
water is used. The condition of heat exchanger tubes should
be checked semiannually to prevent hazard.

THERMOSYPHON OIL COOLING (OPTIONAL)
Thermosyphon oil cooling is an economical, effective method
for cooling oil on screw compressor units. Ther mosyphon
cooling utilizes liquid refrigerant at condenser pressure and
temperature which is partially vaporized at the condenser
temperature in a shell and tube- or plate-type vessel cool-
ing the oil to within 15°F of that temperature. The vapor, at
condensing pressure, is vented to the condenser inlet and
reliquified. This method is the most cost effective of all cur-
rently applied cooling systems since no compres sor capacity
is lost or compressor power penalties in curred. The vapor
from the cooler need only be con densed, not compressed.
Refrigerant flow to the cooler is automatic, driven by the
thermosyphon principle, and cooling flow increases as the
oil inlet temperature rises.
EQUIPMENT - The basic equipment required for a ther-
mosyphon system consists of:
1. A source of liquid refrigerant at condensing pressure and
temperature located in close proximity to the unit to mini mize
piping pressure drop. The liquid level in the refrigerant source
must be 6 to 8 feet above the center of the oil cooler.
2. A shell and tube- or plate-type oil cooler with a 300 psi
minimum design working pressure on both the oil and re-
frigerant sides.
Due to the many variations in refrigeration system design
and physical layout, several systems for ensuring the above
criteria are possible.
SYSTEM OPERATION - Liquid refrigerant fills the cooler tube
side up to the Thermosyphon receiver liquid level.
Water or hot oil (above the liquid temperature) flowing through
the cooler will cause some of the refrigerant to boil and
vaporize in the tubes. The vapor rises in the return line. The
density of the refrigerant liquid/vapor mixture in the return
line is considerably less than the density of the liquid in the
supply line. This imbalance provides a differential pressure
that sustains a flow condi tion to the oil cooler. This relation-
ship involves:
1. Liquid height above the cooler.
2. Oil heat of rejection.
3. Cooler size and piping pressure drops.
Figure 13 - Thermosyphon System Operation
Current thermosyphon systems are using two-pass oil cool-
ers and flow rates based on 4:1 overfeed.
The liquid/vapor returned from the cooler is separated in the
receiver. The vapor is vented to the condenser inlet and need
only be reliquified since it is still at condenser pressure.
INSTALLATION - The shell and tube- or plate-type thermo-
syphon oil cooler with oil-side piping and a thermostatically
controlled mixing valve (if ordered) are factory mount ed and
piped. The customer must supply and install all piping and
equip ment located outside of the shaded area on the piping
diagram with consideration given to the following:
1. The refrigerant source, thermosyphon or system receiv er,
should be in close proximity to the unit to minimize piping
pressure drop.
2. The liquid level in the refrigerant source must be 6 to 8
feet above the center of the oil cooler.
3. A safety valve should be installed if refrigerant isolation
valves are used for the oil cooler.
4. An angle valve should be installed in the piping before
the thermosyphon oil cooler to balance the thermosyphon
system. Also recommended is the installation of sight glasses
at the TSOC inlet and outlet to aid in troubleshooting. The
factory-mounted, plate-type thermosyphon oil cooler requires
a refrigerant-side drain valve to be provided and installed by
the customer.
TSOC AND WCOC OPTIONAL OIL SIDE SAFETY RE-
LIEF - Compressor units, which have valves in the oil piping
to isolate the oil cooler from the oil separator for servicing,
may have factory installed piping to relieve the shell side (oil
side) safety valve directly into the oil separator, as shown in
the P & I diagrams on pages 58 through 60.
This arrangement uses a special UV stamped safety valve
rated for liquid and vapor relief. The safety valve is designed
for 500 psi DWP and is set to relieve at 75 psi delta P. The
safety valve piping contains flanged connections should the
valve require maintenance or replacement.

Page 12
1. The thermosyphon oil cooler
is supplied with the oil side piped
to the compressor unit and stub
ends supplied on the refrigerant
side.
2. A three-way oil temperature
control valve is required where
condensing temperature is ex-
pected to go below 65OF.
3. A refrigerant-side safety valve
is required in this location only
when refrigerant isolation valves
are installed between the cooler
and thermosyphon receiver. If
no valves are used between
the cooler and TSOC receiver,
the safety valve on the TSOC
receiver must be sized to handle
the volume of both vessels. Then,
the safety valve on the cooler
vent (liquid refrigerant side) can
be eliminated.
4. The system receiver must
be below the thermosyphon re-
ceiver in this arrangement.
Figure 14
Extra caution should be used when
servicing an oil separator with this
arrangement. If the oil cooler is
valved off from an oil separator which has been evacuated
for servicing, then the oil cooler could relieve into the
separator vessel if the 75 psi delta p setpoint is exceeded.
Other units, which do not use this special safety valve ar-
rangement, will have factory mounted safety valves on the
shell side of the oil cooler which the installing contractor
should pipe into house safety systems designated suitable
for oil relief.
The component and piping arrangement shown in Figure 14
is intended only to illustrate the operating principles of ther-
mosyphon oil cooling. Other component layouts may be better
suited to a specific installation. Refer to publication 070-900E
for additional information on Thermosyphon Oil Cooling.
ECONOMIZER - HIGH STAGE (OPTIONAL)
The economizer option provides an increase in system ca-
pacity and efficiency by subcooling liquid from the condenser
through a heat exchanger or flash tank before it goes to the
evapora tor. The subcooling is provided by flashing liquid in
the economizer cooler to an intermediate pressure level.The
intermediate pressure is provided by a port located part way
down the compres sion process on the screw compressor.
As the screw compressor unloads, the economizer port will
drop in pressure level, eventually being fully open to suction.
Because of this, an output from the microproces sor is gener-
ally used to turn off the supply of flashing liquid on a shell and
coil or DX economizer when the capacity falls below approxi-
mately 45%-60% capacity (85%-90% slide valve position).
This is done because the compressor will be more efficient
operating at a higher slide valve position with the economizer
turned off, than it will at a low slide valve position with the
economizer turned on. Please note however that shell and
coil and DX economizers can be used at low compressor
capaciti es in cases where efficien cy is not as important as
ensuring that the liquid supply is subcooled. In such cases,
the economi zer liquid solenoid can be programmed to be left
open whenever the com pressor is running.
Due to the tendency of the port pressure to fall with de-
creasing compressor capacity, a back-pressure regulator
valve (BPR) is generally required on a flash economizer
system (Figure 17) in order to maintain some preset pressure
dif ference between the subcooled liquid in the flash vessel
and the evaporato rs. If the back-pressure regulator valve is
not used on a flash economizer, it is possible that no pressure
difference will exist to drive liquid from the flash vessel to the
evaporators, since the flash vessel will be at suction pressure.
In cases where wide swings in pressure are anticipated in
the flash econo mizer vessel, it may be necessary to add an
outlet pressure regulator to the flash vessel outlet to avoid
overpressurizing the economizer port, which could result
in motor overload. Example: A system feeding liquid to the
flash vessel in batches.
The recommended economizer systems are shown below.
Notice that in all systems there should be a strainer (STR)
and a check valve (VCK) between the economizer vessel
and the economizer port on the compressor. The strainer
prevents dirt from passing into the compressor and the check
valve prevents oil from flowing from the compressor unit to
the econo mizer vessel during shutdown.
Other than the isolation valve
needed for strainer cleaning, it is
essential that the strainer be the
last device in the economizer line before the compres sor.
Also, piston-type check valves are recom mended for
installation in the economizer line, as opposed to disc-
type check valves. The latter are more prone to gas-
pulsation-induced failure. The isolation and check val ves
and strainer should be located as closely as possible to
the compressor, preferably within three feet.

Figure 18 - Multiple Compressor Economizer System
For refrigeration plants employing multiple compressors on
a common economizing vessel, regardless of economizer
type, each compressor must have a back-pressure regulat-
ing valve in order to balance the economizer load, or gas
flow, between compressors. The problem of balancing load
becomes most important when one or more compressors
run at partial load, exposing the economizer port to suction
pressure. In the case of a flash vessel, there is no need for
the redundancy of a back-pressure regulating valve on the
vessel and each of the multiple compressors. Omit the BPR
valve on the flash economizer vessel and use one on each
compressor, as shown in Figure 18.
ELECTRICAL
NOTE: Before proceeding with electrical installation,
read the instructions in the section “Proper Installation
of Elec tronic Equip ment in an Industrial Environment”.
RXB PLUS units are supplied with a SBC (single-board
computer) microprocessor control system. Care must be
taken that the controls are not exposed to physical damage
during handling, storage, and installa tion. The microproces-
sor enclosure cover must be kept tightly closed to prevent
entry of moisture and foreign matter.
Customer-control power connec-
tions are made at the BOTTOM of
the microprocessor enclosure.
Consult local ordinances before installation. Current
transformer wiring should be kept separate. Extreme
care should be taken that metal filings or other foreign
material is not left in the microprocessor enclosure. Use
seal-tight conduit fittings to prevent moisture entry into
the microprocessor enclosure. This is the ONLY electri-
cal enclo sure that should be opened during installation
and it should be kept tightly closed whenever work is
not being performed in it.

MOTOR STARTER PACKAGE
Motor starter and interlock wiring requirements are shown in
the wiring diagram, above. All the equipment shown is sup-
plied by the installer unless a starter package is pur chased
from Frick . Starter packages should consist of:
NOTE: When compressor mo tor vol tage is dif fer ent from
oil pump mo tor vol tage, supply a circuit breaker discon-
nect for separate feed in lieu of fuses.
1. The compressor motor starter of the specified HP and
voltage for the starting method specified (across-the-line,
autotransformer, wye-delta, or solid state).
NOTE: If starting methods other than across-the-line are
desired, a motor/compressor torque analysis must be
done to ensure that sufficient starting torque is avail-
able, particularly in booster applica tions. Contact FRICK
Company if assistance is required.
2. If specified, the starter package can be supplied as a
combination starter with circuit breaker disconnect. Howev-
er, the motor overcurrent protection/disconnection device
can be supplied by others, usually as a part of an electrical
power distribution board.
3. A 2.0 KVA control power transformer (CPT), to supply
120 volt control power to the control system and separator
oil heaters, is included. If environmental conditions require
more than a 500 watt oil heater, an appro priately oversized
control trans former will be required.
4. One normally open, compressor-motor-starter auxiliary
contact and one normally open, oil-pump-motor-starter aux-
iliary con tact (opt.) should be supplied and wired as shown
on the starter package wiring diagram. In addition, the com-
pressor and oil pump motor starter (opt.) coils and the CPT
secondaries should be wired as shown on starter package
wiring diagram.
5. The compressor motor Current Transformer (CT) can be
installed on any one phase of the compressor leads. NOTE:
The CT must see all the current on any one phase; there-
fore in wye-delta applications, BOTH leads of any one
phase must pass through the CT.
6. Oil Pump Option: If the optional oil pump is specified,
an oil pump starter must be a com ponent of the unit starter
package. The pump starter should be equipped with fuses
or, in the case where the compressor motor is a different
voltage from the oil pump motor, a circuit breaker disconnect
suitable for separate power feed.
NOTE: Do not install a compressor HAND/OFF/AUTO
switch in the starter package as this would bypass the
compressor safety devices.

customer desires to operate the unit from a remote control
device.
2. Alarm Horn output.
3. Control solenoid valve for the economizer option.
For customer control options, consult FRICK.
NOTE: The microprocessor will not operate without
EPROM chips installed. When EPROM chips are not
installed, the microprocessor display will typically in-
dicate two dark lines across both the upper and lower
display screens.
BATTERY BACKUP
The battery backup prevents data loss during power interrup-
tion. It will maintain the adjustable setpoints stored in RAM
(Random Access Memory) for up to 1 year after power loss.
Expected battery life is 10 years. A trickle charge maintains the
battery backup at peak charge when control voltage is present.
To prevent power loss, the battery backup is shipped disabled.
To enable the battery backup, a jumper pin located near the
top of the microprocessor circuit board (see illustration page
52) must be moved from OFF (pins 1-2) to ON (pins 2-3).
NOTE: It is not necessary to disconnect the battery
backup during extended downtime.

OPERATION and START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Frick RXB PLUS Rotary Screw Compressor Unit is an
integrated system consisting of six major subsystems:
1. Microprocessor Control Panel
2. Compressor
3. Compressor Lubrication System
4. Compressor Oil Separation System
5. Compressor Hydraulic System
6. Compressor Oil Cooling System
The information in this section of the manual provides the
logical step-by-step instructions to properly start up and
operate the RXB PLUS Rotary Screw Compressor Unit.
THE FOLLOWING SUBSECTIONS MUST BE READ AND
UNDERSTOOD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START OR
OPERATE THE UNIT.
MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL PANEL
The RXB PLUS compressor is controlled by a state-of- the-art
microproces sor control system. The microprocessor continu-
ously monitors the com pressor unit’s condition and operation.
The mi croprocessor also directs instructions to the various
compressor unit subsystems.
The microprocessor has a membrane switch keyboard.
Pressing the keyboard in the area outlined as a key will cause
that function to be recognized by the microproces sor. The
keyboard has 32 membrane-type keys.
In addition to the keyboard, there is an emergency stop but-
ton. Pushing the emer gency stop will by pass the computer
and remove all power from the outputs. This will shut down
the compressor motor and all high voltage to the com-
pressor auxiliary systems such as the oil pump and liquid
injection solenoid. THE EMERGEN CY STOP BUTTON IS
FOR EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SITU ATIONS ONLY and
MUST NOT BE USED TO ROUTINE LY SHUT OFF THE
COMPRESSOR.
The microprocessor continuously monitors the state of the
battery which maintains setpoints and vari ous other data.
If the battery voltage is low, the message “LOW BATT” will
flash in the lower right hand corner of the bottom display
(see page 14 for description of battery backup).
The microprocessor hardware contains an output watchdog
circuit. If the microprocessor should fail, this circuit will dis-
able (turn off) all outputs.

a variety of information in regard to the current status of the
compressor’s condition and performance.
The information furnished by the Operating display is as
follows:
The DAY, DATE, and TIME are displayed at the top right of
the display.
NOTE: To set day, date, and time, see TO CHANGE THE
ADJUSTABLE SETPOINTS.
SUCTION - Suction Pressure and Temperature are measured
at the compressor inlet and are, respec tively, displayed in
pounds per square inch gauge (g) or inches of mercury (hg)
and degrees Fahren heit.
DISCH - Discharge Pressure and Temperature are measur ed
at the compressor outlet and are, respec tively, dis played in
pounds per square inch gauge (g) and degrees Fahrenheit.
OIL - Oil Pressure and Temperature are measured prior to
entering the compressor and are, respec tively, displayed
in pounds per square inch gauge (g) and degrees Fahren-
heit.
ALARM/CUTOUT - An Alarm or Cutout message indi cates
an Alarm or Cutout setpoint has been reach ed, or ex ceeded.
Rotate the display mode to the Annunciator display for de-
tails. In the event of a cutout, rotate to the Freeze display for
further details.
COMPRESSOR - The compressor displays the status of the
compressor unit. The mode of operation will be indicated as
either manual (Man Mode) when the [RUN] key has been

pressed, automatic (AUTO MODE) when Auto Cycle has
been activated, remote (RMT MODE) when the [REMOTE]
key has been pressed, or off (OFF MODE).
RECYCLE DELAY - A Recycle Delay message indicates that
the compressor has started and has shut down within the
time delay setpoint period. The Recycle Delay will prevent
the compressor from starting until the delay time expires
and is intended to prevent damage to the com pressor motor
from suc cessive restarts. During Recycle Delay, the micro-
processor will alternatively flash “RECYCLE DELAY” and the
remaining delay time in minutes.
NOTE: Consult Motor Manufacturer for the recom-
mended duration of the Recycle Delay.
If the [RUN] key is pushed while
the unit is in Recycle Delay, the
compressor will start at the end of
the delay period.
OPERATING DISPLAY, Page 2
V RATIO - Volume Ratio is the ratio selected by the micropro-
cessor to provide the highest effi ciency at any given suction
and discharge pressure condition. Im mediately below this, an
information space has been provided to indicate whether V
ratio is in the automatic (AUTO) or the manual (MAN) mode.
SV POS - Slide valve position is displayed as a per centage.
This percentage reflects the mechani cal position of the slide
valve and does not reflect the percentage of full load opera-
tion. Immediately below this information, space has been pro-
vided to indicate whether SV Pos is in the automatic (AUTO),
manual (MAN), or remote (RMT) mode. The micro processor
will control this function in the auto matic mode. To the right of
the mode indicator, two other messages may appear:
L - Indicates Slide Valve loading.
U - Indicates Slide Valve unloading.
PUMP (Optional) - Pump displays the current status of
the oil pump. The display will read ON or OFF whenever
the HAND-OFF -AUTO switch is selected to AUTO and the
compressor is running.
% FLA - Percent Full-Load Amps displays the per centage
of the drive motor, full-load amperage rating that the motor
is currently using.
SEP - Separator displays the oil separator temper ature in
degrees Fahrenheit.
HTR - Heater displays the condition of the oil separator
heater(s), indicating ON or OFF.
FORCED UNLD - A Forced Unload message indicates that
the percentage of motor, full-load amps has exceeded the
maximum limit and the microprocessor is unloading the
compressor until the percentage FLA falls back to normal
limits.

shutdown and with either a normally closed (NC) or normally
open (NO) contact.
TO CHANGE THE ADJUSTABLE SETPOINTS:
Adjustable Setpoints are stored in RAM (random access
memory) and are easily changed in the field.
Adjustable Setpoints are lost if
power is interrupted and the bat-
tery is not fully charged. To facili-
tate reentry, we suggest that a list of Adjustable Set-
points be affixed to one end of the microprocessor
cabinet for reference.
NOTE: The following procedure also applies to the
changing of the Security, Setback, and Auto Cycle dis-
play setpoints.
1. Press the [CHANGE] key to rotate the display to the Ad-
justable Setpoints display.
2. Press the [STEP] key to move or step a set of flashing
brackets through the various set points. A setpoint is selected
for change or update when it is enclosed by the flashing
brackets.
NOTE: The DAY indicator, itself, will flash when selec ted
for change or update.
3. Having selected the setpoint to be changed, the [NU-
MERIC KEYPAD] may be used to enter the new setpoint.
NOTE: All digits must be entered, including zeros. For
example, (01.0).
NOTE: The DAY, AUX 1, and AUX 2 setpoints, once selected,
are changed or updated by pressing the [CHAN GE] key.
NOTE: Certain setpoints may be reported in either pounds
per square inch gauge (g) or inches of mer cury (hg). To
toggle between (g) and (hg), having selected the setpoint,
press the [+/-] key to toggle between (g) and (hg).
4. In the event that an incorrect setpoint is keyed in com-
pletely or partially, press the [CLEAR] key to restore the
original setpoint. Pressing the [CLEAR] key a second time
will eliminate the flashing brackets.
5. Having keyed the desired setpoint, press the [ENTER] key.
The new setpoint will be entered and the flashing brackets
will move or step to the next setpoint.
NOTE: A setpoint entry outside the parameters of the
Adjustable Setpoint display will be refused and the
original Adjustable setpoint will be re stored.
NOTE: To clear any time values [STEP] to the desired
setpoint, press [CHANGE] and then press [CLEAR].
HOW TO DETERMINE
ADJUSTABLE SETPOINTS:
Adjustable Setpoints should reflect values compat ible with
normal system operation. Too high a Low Suction Pres sure
Alarm setpoint may cause nuisance prealarms. Similarly,
cutout setpoints should not fall within what are considered
normal plant oper ation. As a rule of thumb, set the Low Suc-
tion Pressure Alarm 5 PSIG lower than the lowest normal
suction pressure. The Low Suction Pressure Cutout should
be 5 to 10 PSIG lower than the Low Suction Pressure Alarm
setpoint.

Page 19
The High Discharge Pressure Cutout should be set at 90%
of the setting of the lowest high side relief valve. The High
Discharge
Pressure Alarm should be set 10 PSIG lower than
the Cutout.
The Capacity Control setpoint should be the equi valent of
the normal suction condition.
FIXED SETPOINTS:
Fixed setpoints define the limits of acceptable compressor
operation. Fixed Setpoints are factory determined, stored in
programmed mem ory (PROM), and will remain in memory
if power to the micro processor is interrupted.

Compressor Differential Cutout - The differential cutout
has been lowered from 55 lb to 25 lb. Cutout will occur after
five minutes. To allow operation at low differential pressures,
the micro will take the following steps:
A. Force unload the compressor to 50% and display an “F
Unload” when the oil pressure is within 10 lb of the main oil
injection port pressure and the slide valve position is greater
than 50%.
B. Prohibit the compressor from loading and display a “Ld
Inhib” message when the differential is within 15 lb of the
main oil injection port pressure.
Oil Pressure Alarm and cutout - Prelube and Cycling Oil
Pump version when pump is not running. Alarm will occur if
oil pressure is 25 lb below discharge pressure or within 10
lb of suction pressure for 30 seconds. Cutout occurs if oil
pressure is 30 lb below discharge pressure or if oil pressure
is within 7 lb of suction pressure for 10 seconds and alarm
has already been set.
Full Lube and Cycling Oil Pump version when oil pump is run-
ning. Alarm occurs if oil pressure is within 10 lb of discharge
pressure for 30 seconds. Cutout occurs when oil pressure
is within 5 lb of discharge pressure for 10 seconds and oil
pressure alarm has been set.
Cycling Oil Pump Control - The oil pump will cut off when
differential pressure between suction and discharge pressure
is 55 lb or greater. Upon pump termination the above cutout
logic (pump not running) is utilized. Pump cut-in occurs when
the differential pressure between suction and discharge is
45 lb or less. Oil pressure alarm and cutout logic (pump
running) begins after a 30 second delay which allows the oil
pump to build pressure.
Prealarms are self-clear ing. At this time the alarm will stop
flashing, but the time of the first occur rence will still be re-
corded to the right of the alarm. Pressing the [CLEAR] key
while at the Annunciator display will clear all alarms and/or
cutouts.
In order to restore the Annunciator display and resume
normal operation it will be necessary to go through the fol-
lowing steps:
1. Correct the conditions causing the alarm.
2. Press the [ALARM SILENCE] key. (This action may pre-
cede correcting the conditions causing the alarm).
3. To clear or reset the Annunciator pages, press the
[CLEAR] key. This will also clear the ALARM or CUTOUT
indicator from the Operat ing display.
4. Press [F1] to call up the Operating dis play. If the condi-
tions causing the alarm have not been cor rect ed or a new
fault has occurred, a new ALARM or CUTOUT message
will appear.
