FORM 201.18-NM9 (602)
gered rows and mechanically expanded into corrosion
resistant aluminum alloy ins with ull height in col-
lars. They have a design working pressure o 450 PSIG
(31 bar). Each coil is tested to 495 PSIG (34 bar).
Multiple ans move air through the coils. They are dy-
namically and statically balanced, direct drive with cor-
rosion resistant glass iber rein orced composite blades
molded into low noise, ull air oil cross section, pro-
viding vertical air discharge rom extended ori ices or
e iciency and low sound. Each an is located in a sepa-
rate compartment to prevent cross low during an cy-
cling. Guards o heavy gauge, PVC coated galvanized
steel are provided.
The an motors are high-e iciency, direct drive, 6-pole,
3-phase, Class- F, current overload protected, totally
enclosed (TEAO) type with double sealed, permanently
lubricated ball bearings.
Oil Separator/System
The external oil separator, with no moving parts and
designed or minimum oil carry-over, is mounted in the
discharge line o the compressor. The high pressure dis-
charge gas is orced around a 90 degree bend. Oil is
orced to the outside o the separator through centri u-
gal action and captured on wire mesh where it drains to
the bottom o the oil separator and into the compressor.
The oil (YORK L oil a POE oil used or all re rig-
erant applications), which drains back into the com-
pressor through a replaceable 0.5 - 3.0 micron oil ilter,
and oil supply solenoid, is at high pressure. This high
pressure oil injection orces the oil into the compres-
sor where it is gravity ed to the gears and bearings or
lubrication. A ter lubricating the gears and bearings, it
is injected through ori ices on a closed thread near the
suction end o the rotors. The oil is automatically in-
jected because o the pressure di erence between the
discharge pressure and the reduced pressure at the suc-
tion end o the rotors. This lubricates the rotors as well
as provides an oil seal against leakage around the ro-
tors to assure re rigerant compression (volumetric e i-
ciency). The oil also provides cooling by trans erring
much o the heat o compression rom the gas to the oil
keeping discharge temperatures down and reducing the
chance or oil breakdown. Oil injected into the rotor
cage lows into the rotors at a point about 1.2x suction.
This assures that a required minimum di erential o at
least 30 PSID exists between discharge and 1.2x suc-
tion, to orce oil into rotor case, a minimum o 10 PSID
(0.6 bar) is all that is required to assure protection o
the compressor. Oil pressure sa ety is monitored as the
di erence between suction and the pressure o the oil
entering the rotor case.
Maximum working pressure o the oil separator is 450
PSIG (31 bar). A relie valve is installed in the oil sepa-
rator piping. This will soon be incorporated into the oil
separator. Oil level should be above the midpoint o the
lower oil sight glass when the compressor is running.
Oil level should not be above the top o the upper sight
glass. Oil temperature control is provided through liquid
injection activated by the microprocessor, utilizing a dis-
charge temperature sensor, and a solenoid valve.
Oil Cooling
Oil cooling is provided by routing oil rom the oil sepa-
rator through several o the top rows o the condenser
coils and back to the compressor.
Capacity Control
The compressors will start at the minimum load posi-
tion and provide a capacity control range rom 10% -
100% o the ull unit load using a continuous unction
slide valve. The microprocessor modulates the current
signal to a 3-way pressure regulating capacity control
valve which controls command compressor capacity,
independent o system pressures, and balances the com-
pressor capacity with the cooling load. Loading is ac-
complished by varying pressure through the pressure
regulating capacity control valve to move the slide valve
against the spring pressure to promote stable smooth
loading.
Automatic spring return o the slide valve to the mini-
mum load position will ensure compressor starting at
minimum motor load.
Power and Control Panels
All controls and motor starting equipment are actory
wired and unction tested. The panel enclosures are de-
signed to IP55 and are manu actured rom powder
painted galvanized steel.
The Power and Control Panels are divided into power
sections or each compressor and associated ans, a con-
trol section and an electrical options section. The power
and control sections have separate hinged, latched, and
gasket sealed doors equipped with wind struts.
Each power compartment contains:
Compressor and an starting contactors, an motor ex-
ternal overloads, control circuit serving compressor ca-
pacity control, compressor and an contactor coils and
compressor motor overloads.
