Semi-hermetic Reciprocating Compressors for CO2 - Octagon Series KP-120-3

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Octagon® Series of semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors, specifically designed for sub-critical CO2 applications. This series comprises 16 models with cooling capacities from 4.4 to 80 kW, ideal for sub-critical CO2 cascade systems.
Specifications
The compressors feature a robust drive gear and valve plate construction optimized for CO2, enhancing efficiency and safety. They offer expanded application ranges with investment costs similar to conventional systems.
Special Features
  • Patented integrated pulsation mufflers by BITZER.
  • Wear-resistant drive gear with multilayer bearings.
  • Special POE oil for CO2 operation.
  • High-pressure resistant housing supporting up to 40 bar on the HP side.
  • Advanced centrifugal lubrication system.
  • Highly efficient working valves.
Application Limits
Designed for a 20 K suction superheat, with performance data for various evaporation and condensation temperatures.
Model Designation
Explains the model designation system, including codes for motor size, bore x stroke, number of cylinders, CO2 application, and oil charge.
Performance Data
Provided for 50 Hz operation, based on 20 K suction gas superheat without liquid subcooling. Data for 60 Hz operation is available upon request.
Technical Data
Includes displacement, number of cylinders, oil charge, weight, maximum operating current, and power consumption. Electrical data and pipe connections are detailed.
Crankcase Heater
Due to high CO2 solubility in oil, a crankcase heater is required, with specifications for different models provided.
Overview
Technical specifications and guidelines for self-regulating PTC crankcase heaters, essential due to CO2 solubility in oil affecting compressor performance.
Specifications
  • Available in power ranges: 0-60 W, 0-120 W, and 0-140 W.
  • Voltage tolerance is ±10% based on the mean voltage range.
  • Conversion factors for different voltages: 380 V (220 V) is 0.95, and 420 V (240 V) is 1.05.
Procedures
  • Consider maximum working current and power consumption when selecting contacts, cables, and fuses.
  • Operational category for contactors is AC3.
Connection Positions
  • High pressure connection (HP)
  • Low pressure connection (LP)
  • Oil fill plug and oil drain
  • Crankcase heater and oil monitoring connections
  • External pressure relief valve
Dimensional Drawings
Includes detailed dimensional drawings for various compressor models, specifying measurements in millimeters for components such as height, width, and depth.
