General InformationPREFACE
This manual has been prepared to acquaint the owner and serviceman with the INSTALLATION, OPERATION, and MAINTENANCE procedures as recommended by Johnson Controls-Frick for SGC, SGCB/H and SGXB/H Rotary Screw Compressors (referred to in this document as SGC or SGX).The term SGC refers to the 1913, 1918, 2313, 2317, 2321, 2813, 2817, 2821, and 2824 SGC units, as well as the 3511, 3515, and 3519 SGCB and SGCH units. The term SGX refers to the 3519, 4013, 4018, and 4021 SGXB and SGXH units, as well as the 3524 SGXB unit.
It is most important that these compressors be properly ap-plied to an adequately controlled refrigerant or gas system. Your authorized Johnson Controls-Frick representative should be consulted for his expert guidance 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 equipment must be properly selected and connected to a properly designed and installed system. The Engineering plans, piping layouts, etc. must be detailed in accordance with the best practices and local codes, such as those outlined in ASHRAE literature.
A screw compressor is a VAPOR PUMP. To be certain that it is not being subjected to pumping liquid, it is necessary that controls are carefully selected and in good operating condition; the piping is properly sized and traps, if necessary, are correctly arranged; the suction line has an accumulator or slugging protection; that load surges are known and provisions are made for control; operating cycles and stand still periods are reasonable; and that high side components are sized within system and compressor design limits.
It is required that the discharge temperature be kept high enough to prevent condensation of any moisture in the compressor and oil separator.
DESIGN LIMITATIONS SGC/SGX compressors are designed for operation within the pressure and temperature limits which are specified byJohnson Controls-Frick and the Johnson Controls-Frick selection software COOLWARE™. They are primarily used for compressing refrigerant gas and most hydrocarbon gasses.
If your application is for sour gas, there are special require-ments to protect the compressor. Contact Johnson Con-trols-Frick Compressor Engineering for application details.

LONG TERM STORAGELong term storage (6 months to 5 years) provisions are required, regardless of storage environment, if start-up and/or useful operation does not occur within six (6) months of equipment shipment. Special provisions may be required for storage of less than six (6) months if the storage area is subject to unusual environment such as high humidity, large changes in temperature, dusty atmosphere, etc.
The standard Johnson Controls-Frick Warranty for an SGC/SGX screw compressor covers twelve (12) months from start-up or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first. It isrecommendedthatarrangementsbemadewiththe local JOHNSON CONTROLS-FRICK service organization (arranged through factory service) regarding surveillance and maintenance during the storage period. It will be the customer’s responsibility to submit a monthly report showing the condition of the unit and noting any discrepancies to the guidelines listed herein. Failure to comply with this Long Term Storage Recommendation may void the warranty.
Long term storage of equipment may lead to the deterioration of components over the period of time.
Synthetic components in the compressor may deteriorate overtimeeveniftheyarekeptfloodedwithoil.Awarmanddry environment is essential to minimize environmental and corrosion damage. Long term storage of the affected equipment at a customer’s site may involve additional requirements and interested parties should refer to the JohnsonControlswebsite,www.jci.com/frick,forspecificinstructions (Location: Bare Compressors\General\Warranties\Screw Compressor Purchased for Long Term Storage).
The following guidelines must be followed to maintain the SCREW COMPRESSOR WARRANTY.
PREPARING COMPRESSOR FOR STORAGEEvacuate compressor to remove moisture. Evacuation lines are to be connected to port SM1. Evacuation lines are to be connected to the three Schrader access valves provided with the compressor. One valve is connected to compressor suction. The other two valves are located at the block on the cylinder.
Break vacuum with dry nitrogen and bring pressure to zero psig.
Pump oil into the same ports mentioned in step 1. Johnson Controls-Frick recommends break-in oil P/N 111Q0831809 for storage purposes. The amounts of oil needed per compressor are:
95mm* 2 Gal. 233mm 15 Gal.120mm* 3 Gal. 283mm 25 Gal.163mm* 8 Gal. 355mm 35 Gal.193mm 12 Gal. 408mm 50 Gal.
After compressor is oil charged, pressurize compressor to 15 psig with nitrogen.
MAINTAINING COMPRESSOR IN STORAGE• Ensure that the 5-15 psig nitrogen charge is maintained with 15 psig preferred.• Rotate the male rotor shaft every two weeks. Mark the shaft to ensure the rotor does not return to the original position.

DESCRIPTIONSGC/SGX COMPRESSORS
Frick SGC/SGX rotary screw compressors utilize mating asymmetricalprofilehelicalrotorstoprovideacontinuousflowofvaporandtheyaredesignedforbothhigh-pressureand low-pressure applications. The compressors incorporate the following features:
1. High-capacity roller bearings to carry radial loads at both the inlet and outlet ends of the compressor.
2. Heavy-duty, four-point contact ball or angular-contact bearings are mounted at the discharge end of the compressor to carry axial loads.
3. Balance pistons, located in the inlet end of the compressor, reduce axial loads on the male axial bearings to increase bearing life.
4. Moveable slide valve to provide fully modulating capacity control from 100% to approximately 10% (2824, 3519, and 4021 - to 15%; 3524 - to 20%) of full load capacity.
5. VOLUMIZER volume ratio control to allow infinitelyvariable volume ratio from 2.2 to 5.0 for most SGC models (2824 Vi = 2.0 - 4.1; 3524 Vi = 2.4 – 4.5; 4021 Vi = 2.2 - 4.3) during compressor operation.
6. A hydraulic cylinder to operate the slide stop and slide valve.
7. Housings are designed for 400 psig pressure in SGC/SGX models through 355. Model SGXH 4013 has 700 psig max. allowable pressure, while the SGXH 4018 and 4021 models allow 600 psig.
8. Bearing and control oil vented to closed thread in the compressor instead of suction pressure to avoid performance penalties from superheating and displacing suction gas.
9. Shaft seal housing is designed to maintain operating pressure on seal well below discharge pressure for increased seal life.
10. Oil injected into the rotors to maintain good volumetric and adiabatic efficiency even at very high compressionratios.
11. Shaft rotation clockwise facing compressor, suitable for all types of drives. SEE FOLLOWING WARNING.
WARNINGCompressor rotation is clockwise when facing the compressor drive shaft. The compressor should never be operated in reverse rotation, as bearing damage will result.
12.SuctionanddischargeflangesareANSIB16.1Class300for all but the SGX 4013 model. SGX 4013 has Class 400 suctionanddischargeflanges.
13. Integral suction strainers are provided for all models except the SGX 35XX and 408 series. These models must be fitted with a suitable strainer, #60 mesh X .0065”diameter stainless steel wire or better, to prevent damage to the compressor from particles entering the suction area.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system on SGC/SGX screw compressor units performs several functions:
1. Provides lubrication to bearings and seal.
2. Provides a cushion between the rotors to minimize noise and vibrations.
3. Helps keep the compressor cool and prevents overheating.
4. Provides an oil supply to hydraulically actuate the slide valve and slide stop.
5. Provides oil pressure to the balance piston to help increase bearing life. NOTE: Some applications/operating conditions require a regulated pressure to the balance piston.
6. Provides an oil seal between the rotors to prevent rotor contact or gas bypassing.

OIL PUMP
A demand oil pump is required for low differential pressure applications (CoolWare™ will provide a warning when the oil differential pressure is too low). Oil being supplied to the compressor from the oil separator is at system discharge pressure. Within the compressor, oil porting to all parts of the compressor is vented back to a location in the compressor’s body that is at a pressure lower than compressor discharge pressure. All oil entering the compressor is moved by the compressor rotors out the compressor outlet and back to the system oil separator.
All SGX compressors are equipped with Squeeze Film Dampers (SFD) in the rotor blocking diameters. Depending on operating conditions and power consumption, a full time and full lube oil pump is required to supply oil to the compressor (SB-3 & SB-4 ports) at a pressure up to 40-50 psi above discharge pressure. Coolware will provide the exact calculation at the actual operating condition. If the calulation information is not available, the oil pressure should be a minimum of 40 psi above discharge pressure.
On all SG*H compressors, the oil pressure to the balance piston must be controlled and regulated through the SB-2 compressor port. For booster and low pressure applications, SB-2 may not need to be connected. For higher operating pressure a Balance Piston Regulator (BPR) must be installed and piped to the SB-2 connection.
Since there are several variants of the BPR, use Coolware to select the best option. Correct BPR information and pressure settings are required. Do not run the compressor without this information.
NOTICEDO NOT RUN THE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
THE CORRECT BALANCE PISTON REGULATOR INFORMATION AND PRESSURE SETTINGS.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
HOUSING: Castings for SGC/SGX screw compressors through model 3524 are close grain, pressure tight, grey cast iron to ensure structural integrity and mechanical and thermal stability under all operating conditions. Ductile iron housings are also available for special applications.
Standard casing material for SGX 4013-4021 compressor models is ductile iron grade 60-40-18 per ASTM A395 and ASME SA395. Contact Johnson Controls – Frick Sales for additional information.
ROTORS: The rotors are made from the highest quality steel bar-stock or forgings to the exacting tolerances of Frick-designed high-efficiency rotor profiles. The four-lobed male rotor (5 lobes on 408) is directly connected to the driver. The six-lobed female rotor (7 lobes on 408) is drivenbythemaleonathinoilfilm.
BEARINGS: Antifriction bearings with L10 rated life in excess of 50,000 hours at design conditions (using the Frick Superfilter™) are used for reduced frictional horsepower and superior rotor positioning, resulting in reduced power consumption, particularly at higher pressure ratios. Cylindrical roller bearings are provided to handle the radial loads and the thrust loads are absorbed
by four point contact or angular contact bearings. In addition, thrust balance pistons are provided to reduce the thrust load and improve bearing life.
SHAFT SEAL: The compressor shaft seal is a single-face type with a spring-loaded carbon stationary surface riding against a cast iron rotating seat. The seal is capable of withstanding static pressure up to 600 psig. During opera-tion it’s vented to low pressure to provide extended life.
The 408 compressors utilize silicon-tungsten carbide seal face material.
VOLUMIZER VARIABLE VOLUME RATIO CONTROL: The Frick compressor includes a method of varying the internal volume ratio to match the system pressure ratio. Control of the internal volume ratio eliminates the power penalty associated with over- or under-compression. Volume ratio control is achieved by the use of a slide stop which is a movable portion of the rotor housing that moves axially with the rotors to control discharge port location. The slide stop is moved by hydraulic actuation of a control piston. The range of adjustment is listed in the COMPRESSOR VOLUME and CAPACITY RATIO table.
STEPLESS CAPACITY CONTROL: Capacity control is achieved by use of a movable slide valve. The slide valve moves axially under the rotors to provide fully modulated capacity control from 100% to minimum load capacity. Minimum load capacity varies slightly with compressor model, pressure ratio, discharge pressure level, and rotor speed. See the TABLE 1 for minimum capacity for all SGC models.
The slide valve is positioned by hydraulic movement of its control piston. When in the unloaded position, gas is bypassed back to suction through a recirculation slot before compression begins and any work is expended, providing themostefficientunloading method available for part-load operation of a screw compressor.
MOTOR MOUNT: SGC/SGX models through 3524 are designedwithadriveendflangethatmateswithacastironmotor mount (available as a sales order option). The motor mount is precision machined so that it ensures proper alignment of the compressor and motor coupling.

DESIGN LIMITSGeneral information for all of the models is provided below. Please see CoolWare to determine the limits for a specific application.
SGC/SGX compressor models are primarily designed for connecting to an electric drive motor using a tunnel mount. If the application requires it, the compressor can also be driven with a foot-mounted motor. The tunnel mount en-sures proper alignment of the compressor and motor so that the shaft seal and coupling will operate properly. The rotor and bearing design set limitations must not be ex-ceeded (See CoolWare). Refer to Johnson Controls - Frick Compressor Control Panel instruction 090.020-M for addi-tional information on setpoint limits.
For proper piping, also see the Frick package manual, 070.610-IOM for RWF II rotary screw compressor units, Models 100 through 1080.

HOLDING CHARGE AND STORAGESGC/SGX compressors are pressure and leak tested at the Johnson Controls–Frick factory and then thoroughly evacu-ated and charged with dry nitrogen to ensure integrity dur-ing shipping and short term storage prior to installation.
All compressors must be kept in a clean, dry location to prevent corrosion damage. Compressors that will be stored for more than two months must have their nitrogen charge checked periodically (see pages in GENERAL INFORMATION for complete instructions).
WARNINGHolding-charge shipping gauges (if mounted) are rated for 30 psig and are for checking the shipping charge only. They must be removed before pressure testing and operating the system. Failure to remove these gauges may result in catastrophic failure of the gauge resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTIONTHIS EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN PRESSURIZED WITH NITROGEN GAS. TEMPORARY VALVES & GAUGES

2. REMOVE CHARGING VALVES OR GAUGES PRIOR TO PRESSURIZING SYSTEM.
3. REFER TO INSTALLATION OPERATION AND MAIN-TENANCE MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMA-TION.
ESCAPING GAS MAY CAUSE INJURY
RIGGING AND HANDLINGThe compressor can be moved with rigging, using a crane or forklift, by hooking into the two lifting rings at each end of the main housings. The compressor lifting rings shall only be used to lift the compressor itself. See Figures 10 - 12.

SGC ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSORINSTALLATION
Thebestinsuranceforatrouble-freeinstallationistofirmlyanchor the compressor to a suitable foundation using proper bolting and by preventing piping stress from being imposed on the compressor. Once the compressor is rigged into place, its feet must be shimmed to level it. There must be absolutely no stresses introduced into the compressor bodyduetoboltingofthefeetandflanges.
The compressor motor mount is not designed to carry the unsupported weight of the motor. The full motor weight must be supported using the motor lifting point during the motor installation process. After the necessary bracket to support the motor have been welded into place on the package and the rear motor feet and the motor mount have been bolted into place, the weight of the motor can rest on the support bracket and the motor mount.
In any screw compressor installation, suction and discharge lines should be supported in pipe hangers (preferably within 2 feet of vertical pipe run) so that the lines won’t move if disconnected from the compressor. See table for Allowable Flange Loads.

OIL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
WARNINGAccess valves in brass material must be removed and the holes filled with steel plugs when package is as-sembled.
Figure 13. Caution/Identification Tag on Access Valve
The oil system must provide oil to the compressor within limitation on:
• Oil selection • Oil pressure • Oil temperature • Oil cleanliness
OIL SELECTION
The oil selected must be suitable for the application, refrigerant and operation condition. Compressor bearings require a minimum viscosity based on size and speed (rpm). A maximum viscosity of 100 cSt should not be exited.
Frick compressor oils are recommended — see form 160.802-SPC. Also, Coolware provides Frick oil properties and information on viscosity requirements for a given compressor selection.
OIL PRESSURE
Design the complete oil system so that the pressure drops nomorethan15psiwithacleanoilfilterelement.Thisiscritical for the proper function of the balance piston and to ensure the life of the axial bearings. For low pressure and low pressure differential operation, an oil pump must be built-intoprovidesufficientoilpressure.
The control system needs to be able to check the oil pressure and compare to both suction and discharge pressures. In general, oil pressure shall be minimum (1.5 times the suction pressure +15 psi) and higher than (discharge pressure – 25 psi). For applications with economizer and/or sideloading, the oil pressure shall additionally be more than 15psi above the pressure at the side port when in operation.
Advanced control systems like the Frick Quantum HD will monitor the oil pressure in many more ways in order to keep the compressor running beyond these basic limits. This advanced control will keep the compressor running safely in partial load conditions.
See “Oil Pump” section on page 6 for additional information.
BALANCE PISTON OIL REQUIREMENTS & REGULATIONS
All SG compressors have a balance piston on the male rotor inlet end (Fig 14). Oil is fed to the balance piston to coun-teract a portion of the force of gas pressure.
For models using 193-283mm rotors, the balance piston oil feed is internal using the common oil connection through theSB-3port(standardconfiguration).Aseparateconfigu-ration is available for high pressure operation. On 355 and 408 compressors the oil is fed separately through the SB-2 port (Fig 15). The oil pressure must be kept within the spec-ifiedrangeonallcompressors.

In most cases, SGCH/SGXH 355 and 408 compressor models require an active regulation of the oil pressure to SB-2. Bal-ance Piston Regulation (BPR) is needed because the gas force varies with the position of the slide valve. A low slide valve position could reduce the load below the minimum required for the axial bearings. Figure 16 shows a piping and instrumentation diagram of a compressor with BPR. There areseveralBPRconfigurationsavailableanditisimportantto select one that works well for the application.

Note: On all SGX compressors except the 408 models, the oil feed also lubricates the inlet bearings. For the 408 com-pressor (MK 2 version) the bearings are lubricated from the SB-4 connection — for low differential applications the SB-2 port will not need to be piped.
CAUTIONOperating with incorrect balance piston pressure settings and selection significantly increases the risk of compressor breakdown and reduced compressor life.
CAUTIONChanges to application and operating conditions may change oil pressure requirements to the SB-2 port and Balance Piston Regulator configuration settings.
Compressors with Squeeze Film Damper (SFD) in the blocking diameters.
Compressor models with an “X” as the third character have Squeeze Film Dampers (SFD) built into the rotor blocking diameters (Fig. 15). The SFDs provide dampening of the rotor’s movement reducing impacts and lowering the total vibration of the compressor. In order for the SFDs to work properly they need to receive “solid” oil — oil free of bubbles and foam.
Solid oil can be attained by either:
pumping the oil pressure to a minimum of 36 psi above discharge, or
cooling the oil. With enough sub-cooling, bubbles are prevented from forming inside the SFDs.*
Compressor ports SB-3 and SB-4 supply oil to the SFDs. As theoilflowcanbesignificant,thefeedlinesmusthaveawell dimensioned size to keep the pressure drop low. Each line should be connected directly to the main oil header (Fig. 17). Some applications with low power consumption and a smaller motor may not have additional pressure and/or temperature requirements.
Frick Coolware can calculate oil flows, pressure andtemperature required. All nominal operation conditions, including SB-3 and SB-4 oil pressure requirements, should be added to your operation log. In the case of application and/oroperatingconditionchanges,oilflowsandsettingswill need tobe reviewed.Expect configurationor settingchanges. Fill in the nominal operating conditions in your Compressor Operating Log Sheet, and revise as needed when the situation changes.
CAUTIONOperating with incorrect oil pressure to the SB-3 and SB-4 ports will cause risk of high compressor vibration, reduced compressor life and breakdown.
CAUTIONChanges to application and operating conditions may change oil pressure and temperature requirements to the SB-3 and SB-4 ports.
OIL COOLING REQUIREMENTS
Compressor oil needs to be cooled to control the discharge temperature, maintain proper oil viscosity and to preserve the life of the oil. Discharge temperature will be in the 170° - 180°F range (see CoolWare™) for normal refrigeration ap-plications.
One application that typically requires higher discharge temperatures (as high as 280°F) is natural gas gathering at the wellhead. Moisture is normally present in the gas and
070.650-IOM (AUG 2015)Page 19
SGC ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSORINSTALLATION
it is imperative that the discharge temperature be at least 30°F higher than the discharge dew point temperature for the gas. Run Coolware with the “Water Saturated” block checked to get the discharge dew point temperature for your application. Oil temperatures as high as 170°F can be used to achieve the necessary discharge temperature to prevent moisture from condensing in the oil separator. In special applications, oil temperatures up to 250°F can be possible with high dew point temperatures. Consult Frick engineering to address these special applications or for ad-ditional natural gas compression information.
The main oil injection line that is connected to port SM-1 must have a regulating valve to permit adjustment of the oilflowtomaintain thedesireddischargetemperatureatall times.
The use of a three-way mixing valve is recommended to keep the oil temperature in the normal range of 120° - 140°F. The valve will provide warm oil to the compressor quickly, reducing the pressure drop caused by cold, viscous oil.Thisensuresproperoilflowandtemperatureoverthefull range of operating conditions.
OIL FILTER(S)
Use of filter elements other than Johnson Controls-Frickmust be approved in writing by Johnson Controls-Frick engineeringorawarrantyclaimmaybedenied.Oilfilterspecificationshouldbenohigherthanβ10 = 75 with β6 = 75preferred. If the oil analysis shows particle counts exceed-ingXX/XX/19perISO4406cleanlinesscode,afilterchangeis required. If particle counts do not come down, an oil change is required.
OIL HEATER(S) Your package must be equipped with oil heaters that provide sufficient heat to prevent condensation from occurring during shutdown cycles.
COMPRESSOR OIL
WARNINGDO NOT MIX OILS of different brands, manufacturers, or types. Mixing of oils can cause excessive oil foam-ing, nuisance oil level cutouts, oil pressure loss, gas or oil leakage and catastrophic compressor failure. Cool-Ware will select a specific Frick oil for the refrigerant being used. Depending on the application, a different oil can be selected provided it is of the proper viscos-ity and is compatible with the refrigerant and com-pressor elastomers.
OIL PUMPIf your SGC compressor application requires an oil pump, it is recommended that a strainer be mounted upstream to protect it. Frick supplied pumps are a positive displacement gear type that must have a safety relief valve to ensure the oil pressure will not be more than 50 psi above compressor discharge pressure for all models.
CAUTIONIf oil pressure exceeds 55 PSI above compressor dis-charge it could cause catastrophic compressor failure due to male axial bearing failure. See CoolWare™ for your application’s requirements.

The slide valve transmitter (Figure 20) measures the position of the slide valve (SV) and sends a 4 to 20mA signal to your control system. The controller will adjust the position of the SV according to the motor load set point. The correct position is important to properly load the compressor and motor. It is important not to overload the compressor and motor. Observe the maximum power input and ensure design limitations are not exceeded.

alignment is in specification (see the above “MOTORMOUNTING” section for mounting details).
If you are using a foot mounted motor, it is essential that the coupling be properly aligned to ensure proper bearing and seal performance.
1. Coupling must be selected and installed so that it doesn’t transmit any axial load to the compressor shaft. Assure magnetic center is set correctly on sleeve bearing motors.
2. Set up the minimum distance between compressor shaft and motor shaft to allow for seal removal (see Outline drawings).
3. Coupling must be able to take up any misalignment between motor and compressor. It is critical to the life of the shaft seal that misalignment is kept to the minimum possible value. Be sure to follow the coupling manufacturer’s guidelines for checking and correcting any misalignment. See the next section for Johnson Controls–Frick requirements.
COUPLING ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS (FOOT MOUNTED ONLY)
Coupling alignment must be performed prior to start-up. After the compressor has been installed on the job site, alignment must be checked again and if necessary corrected prior to start-up. After a few hours of operation, the alignment must be checked while the package is still hot. Correct hot alignment is critical to ensure the life of the shaft seal and compressor bearings.
Maximum radial runout is .004” total indicator reading.Maximum axial runout is .004” total indicator reading.
A dial indicator or another appropriate measuring device is to be used to determine the Total Indicator Runout.
Indicator bracket sag must be checked as all brackets have someflexibility.Thebestwaytomeasurethisistoattachthe dial indicator and bracket on a pipe at the coupling span distance. Zero the indicator in the 12:00 position, and rotate the pipe so the indicator is in the 6:00 position. The reading on the indicator in the 6:00 position is the bracket sag. This value must be included in the dial indicator readings when affixedtothecouplingforanaccuratealignment.
DEHYDRATION / EVACUATION TESTEvacuate the system to 1000 microns. Valve off the vacuum pump and hold vacuum for several minutes.
Pass – Vacuum cannot rise more than 500 microns during the hold period.Fail – Vacuum rise is more than 500 microns during the hold period. Identify and repair any system leaks. Repeat vacuum test until requirements are met.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONSLIDE STOP TRANSMITTER
The slide stop transmitter (Figure 18) measures the position of the slide stop (SS) using a 20 to 4 mA signal to cover the range of minimum to maximum Vi. The signal is sent to your control system so that it can adjust the position of SS according to system pressures. The correct SS position

It also actuates the movable slide stop (SS) to increase or decrease the compressor’s volume ratio (Vi). The hydraulic cylinder located at the inlet end of the SGC compressor serves a dual purpose. Itisseparatedbyafixedbulkheadintotwosections.TheSVsection is to the left of the bulkhead and the SS is to the right if you are facing the right side of the compressor. Both operations are controlled by double-acting, four-way solenoid valves, which are actuated when a signal from the appropriate microprocessor output energizes the solenoid valve.

SGC ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSOROPERATION
OperationOPERATION AND START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Frick SGC/SGX Rotary Screw Compressors will be components in an integrated system. As such the compressor requiressomespecificoperationandconditionstoensuretrouble-free running.
The information in this section of the manual provides the logical step-by-step instructions to properly start up and operate SGC/SGX Rotary Screw Compressors. And only matterswhichmayinfluencetheproperoperationofSGC/SGX compressors are included.
NOTICETHE FOLLOWING SUBSECTIONS MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START OR OPERATE THE UNIT.
LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OPERATION It is recommended that package oil separators be insulated as a minimum requirement to preserve the heat generated by the oil heaters, to prevent condensation and secure lubrication at start-up.
It is important to control separator temperature to avoid liquid condensation in the separator during standby. This can be done by a combination of reducing the standby pressure in the oil separator and insulation of the separator to maintain temperature above saturation temperature during standby.
INITIAL START-UP Prior to the start-up, the prestart check must be accomplished. See Forms section for Checklist.
INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE
Having performed the prestart check, the compressor unit is ready for start-up. It is important that an adequate gas load be available to load test the unit at normal operating conditions. The following points should be kept in mind during initial start-up.
1. For proper and safe operation, the compressor must be run at the proper speed and discharge pressure. Exceeding design conditions creates a potential hazard.
For SGX compressor models, oil pressure to the SB-3 and SB-4 ports must be adjusted to 30 psi over discharge or as determined by Coolware.
For SG*H models, the balance piston regulator (BPR) arrangementmustbeadjustedtooperateasspecified.
See “Oil Pump” section on page 6 for additional information.
2. After 1 to 3 hours of operation adjust oil cooling system.
3. Pull and clean suction strainer after 24 hours of operation. If it is excessively dirty, repeat every 24 hours until system is clean. Otherwise, follow the normal maintenance schedule.
4. Perform vibration analysis if equipment is available.
NORMAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1.Confirmsystemconditionspermitstartingthecompressor.
2. Start.
3. Observe the compressor unit for mechanical tightness of the external piping, bolts and valves. Ensure that the machine has no oil and vapor leaks. If any of these occur, shut down the compressor and correct the problem as necessary using good safety precautions.
070.650-IOM (AUG 2015)Page 24
SGC ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSORMAINTENANCE
Maintenance
5. Protect the compressor during long periods of shutdown. If the compressor will be sitting for long periods without running, it is advisable to evacuate to low pressure and charge with dry nitrogen or oil. This is particularly true on systems known to contain water vapor.
6. Preventive maintenance inspection is recommended any time a compressor exhibits a noticeable change in vibration level, noise, or performance.
7. Check the operating oil pressure to the SB-3 and SB-4 portsdailylIfoutsideisspecified,itmustbeadjusted.
8. Check the operating oil pressure to the balance piston SB-2 port daily.
CHANGING OIL
WARNINGDO NOT MIX OILS of different brands, manufacturers, or types. Mixing of oils may cause excessive oil foam-ing, nuisance oil level cutouts, oil pressure loss, gas or oil leakage and catastrophic compressor failure.
Shut down the unit when changing oil. At the same time all oilfiltercartridgesmustbechangedandalloil strainer ele-ments removed and cleaned. The procedure is as follows:
1. Stop the compressor unit. 2. Lock out the motor starter.3. Close the suction and discharge service valves4. Using appropriate equipment, lower the compressor
pressure to 0 psig.5. Open the drain valve(s) and drain oil into a suitable
container.6. Draintheoilfilter(s)andtheoilcoolers.7. Removetheoldfiltercartridges,andinstallnewones.8. Remove, clean, and reinstall elements in the strainers. 9. Evacuate the unit.10. Open the suction service valve and pressurize the unit
to system suction pressure. Close the suction valve and leak test.
11. Add oil.12. Open the suction and discharge service valves.13. Remove the lockout from the motor starter. 14. Start the unit.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
In order to obtain maximum compressor performance and ensure reliable operation, a regular maintenance program should be followed. The compressor unit should be checked regularly for leaks, abnormal vibration, noise, and proper operation. A log should also be maintained. Oil analysis should be performed on a regular basis. It is a valuable tool that can identify the presence of moisture, acid, metallics and other contaminants that will shorten the compressor life if not corrected. In addition, an analysis of the compressor vibration should be made periodically.
GENERAL INFORMATION This section provides instructions for normal maintenance, a recommended maintenance program, and troubleshooting and correction guides.
WARNINGTHIS SECTION MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD BE-FORE ATTEMPTING TO PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE TO THE UNIT.
CAUTIONCylinder assembly under high spring load. Consult manual before disassembly. Improper disassembly may cause injury due to spring tension release.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS When performing maintenance you must take several precautions to ensure your safety:
1. IF UNIT IS RUNNING, PRESS [STOP] KEY. 2. STOP MOTOR AND LOCK OUT STARTER BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. 3. WEAR PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN
COMPRESSOR UNIT IS OPENED TO ATMOSPHERE. 4. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. 5. TAKE NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED
FOR THE GAS BEING USED.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is important in order to assure long and trouble-free service from your screw compressor. Some areas critical to good compressor operation are:
1. Keep oil clean and dry, avoid moisture contamination. After servicing any portion of the refrigeration system, evacuate to remove moisture before returning to service. Water vapor condensing in the compressor, while running or more likely while shut down, can cause rusting of critical components and reduce life.
2. Keep suction strainer clean. Check periodically, particularly on new systems where welding slag or pipe scalecouldfinditswaytothecompressorsuction.Excessivedirt in the suction strainer could cause it to collapse, dumping particles into the compressor.
3. Keep oil filters clean.Iffiltersshowincreasingpressuredrop, indicating dirt or water, stop the compressor and changefilters.Runningacompressorforlongperiodswithhighfilterpressuredropcanstarvethecompressorofoiland lead to premature bearing failure.Dual oil filters arerecommendedso that thefilterscanbechangedwithoutshutting down the package.
4. Avoid slugging the compressor with liquids (oil). While screw compressors are probably the most tolerant of any compressor type available today about ingestion of some liquid, they are not liquid pumps. Make certain a properly sized suction accumulator is used to avoid dumping liquid into compressor suction.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS Periodic vibration analysis can be useful in detecting bearing wear and other mechanical failures. If vibration analysis is used as a part of your preventive maintenance program, take the following guidelines into consideration.
1. Always take vibration readings from exactly the same places and at exactly the same percentage of load.
2. Use vibration readings taken from the new unit at start-up as the baseline reference.
3. Evaluate vibration readings carefully as the instrument range and function used can vary. Findings can be easily misinterpreted.
4.Vibrationreadingscanbeinfluencedbyotherequipmentoperating in the vicinity or connected to the same piping as the unit.
OIL QUALITY AND ANALYSIS High quality and suitable oil is necessary to ensure compressor longevity and reliability. Oil quality will rapidly deteriorate in systems containing moisture and air or other contaminants. In order to ensure the quality of the oil in the compressor unit:
1. Only use Frick oil or high quality oils approved by Johnson Controls - Frick for your application.
2. Only use Frick filter elements. Substitutions must beapproved in writing by Johnson Controls - Frick engineering or warranty claim may be denied.
3. Participate in a regular, periodic oil analysis program to maintain oil and system integrity.
OPERATING LOG
The use of an operating log as included in this manual permits thorough analysis of the operation of a system by those responsible for its maintenance and servicing. Continual recording of gauge pressures, temperatures, and other pertinent information, enables the observer and serviceman to be constantly familiar with the operation of the system and to recognize immediately any deviations from normal operating conditions. It is recommended that readings be taken at least daily.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Successful problem solving requires an organized approach to define the problem, identify the cause, andmake theproper correction. Sometimes it is possible that two relatively obvious problems combine to provide a set of symptoms that can mislead the troubleshooter. Be aware of this possibility and avoid solving the “wrong problem”.
ABNORMAL OPERATION ANALYSIS AND CORRECTION
Four logical steps are required to analyze an operational problem effectively and make the necessary corrections:
1.Definetheproblemanditslimits.2. Identify all possible causes. 3. Test each cause until the source of the problem is found. 4. Make the necessary corrections.
Thefirststepineffectiveproblemsolvingistodefinethelimits of the problem. The following list of abnormal system conditions can cause abnormal operation of SGC/SGX compressors:
1. Insufficientorexcessiverefrigerant or gas load. 2. Excessively high suction pressure. 3. Excessively high discharge pressure. 4. Excessively high or low temperature coolant to the oil
cooler. 5. Excessive liquid entering the compressor (slugging). 6. Insufficientoilcooling.7. Excessive oil cooling8. Incorrect gas line sizing. 9. Improper system piping. 10. Wrong operation of hydraulic operated slide valve.11. Problems in electrical service to compressor. 12. Moisture present in the system.
Make a list of all deviations from normal compressor operation. Delete any items, which do not relate to the symptom and separately list those items that might relate to the symptom. Use the list as a guide to further investigate the problem.
The second step in problem solving is to decide which items on the list are possible causes and which items are additional symptoms. High discharge temperature and high oil temperature readings on a display may both be symptoms of a problem and not causally related.
The third step is to identify the most likely cause and take action to correct the problem. If the symptoms are not relieved, move on to the next item on the list and repeat the procedure until you have identified the cause of theproblem.Oncethecausehasbeenidentifiedandconfirmedmake the necessary corrections.
