Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications, troubleshooting guidelines, and operational procedures for a screw compressor system. It includes details on various components, pressure and temperature limits, and troubleshooting steps for common issues.
Specifications:
  • Unloading Valve: Energize coil to load compressor at pressure ratios greater than 5:1.
  • Pressure Limits: Minimum pressure is 10” vacuum; maximum pressure differential (discharge - suction) is 350 psid.
  • Temperature Limits: Maximum discharge temperature is 230°F, and maximum suction temperature is 65°F.
  • Oil Pressure: Maximum differential pressure (discharge - oil) is 50 psi; minimum differential pressure (oil - suction) is 45 psi.
Procedures:
  • Ensure oil feed lines are open and check oil pressure at the compressor manifold.
  • Verify the operation of the economizer and unloader coil.
  • Check and replace components such as the unloader valve and suction filter if necessary.
Troubleshooting Guide:
  • Excessive Noise at Start-up: Check for oil solenoid leaks and refrigerant filling issues.
  • Loud Grinding Noise: Inspect for excessive liquid/oil return.
  • Reverse Rotation: Verify phase sequence and ensure proper rotation.
  • Thermal Protection Trips: Ensure adequate liquid feed and check for high discharge pressure.
  • Low Oil Level Switch Cutout: Check oil charge and discharge superheat.
  • Low Compressor Capacity: Inspect contactor, solenoid, and circuit breaker.

Compressor Seems Excessively Noisy At Start-up (High Pitch) I Insure oil feed lines are open (oil solenoid). I Check oil pressure at compressor manifold with a gauge. Compressor Makes a Loud Grinding Noise at Start-up I Oil solenoid is leaking oil into the compressor while off. Repair or replace oil solenoid. I Compressor filling with refrigerant while off. Determine refrigerant source and eliminate during compressor off cycle. I Check evaporator superheat. Suction Access Port Min Pressure 10” vacuum Unloading Valve Energize coil to load compressor Suction Service Valve Max temp 65F, 6” from the service valve Motor Temperature (5K thermistor connection on terminal plate) Economizer/ Subcooler Port (not shown) Rotalock valve, 7/8” sweat connection must have 15F - 20F superheat Discharge Service Valve Max Temp 230F, 6” from the service valve (5K thermistor strapped to discharge line) Screw Compressor Troubleshooting Guide Oil Port Access Port (1/4” Schrader, not shown) Liquid For field gauge connections Injection Port Oil Press Transducer (3/8” Flare, Max Press Differential used if necessary) (discharge - oil) 50psi VI (Volume Index) Valve energize coil at Oil Inlet Min Differential Pressure (Oil - Suction) 45psi pressure ratios > 5:1 (3/8” Flare) Discharge Access Port Max Press Differential (discharge - suction) 350psid Compressor Periodically Makes Loud Noise or Becomes Very Quiet for a Short Time Caution: Never Run the Compressor in Reverse! 06T Model I Check for excessive liquid/oil return to compressor.

Reverse Rotation Trips At initial start-up: I Compressor is running in reverse, check phase sequence and bump compressor to insure proper rotation (check pressure at outlet port). I Insure LonCEM module and discharge pressure transducer are wired and functioning correctly. Thermal Protection (High Motor Temperature) Trips I Check economizer rotalock valve to insure it is open. I Check superheat from economizer expansion valve. I Check motor cooling valve for operation to insure liquid is feeding. I Verify motor cooling valve is downstream of check valve. I Verify motor thermistor wiring from...
