2.0 iNstallatioN
2.1 Installation Guidelines
2.1.1 Required Component—Inlet Gas Scrubber
An appropriate inlet gas scrubber is REQUIRED to remove liquids from the gas prior to compression. If
there is potential for liquid slugging, a suitable trap must be installed to prevent liquid from ooding and
damaging the Compressor.
NOTE
Failing to use an appropriate inlet gas scrubber to remove liquids from the gas prior to
compression can cause ooding and damage the Compressor.
2.1.2 General Installation Guidelines
Follow these general guidelines for installation:
• The Compressor Module must be installed and operated in compliance with all applicable codes and
regulations.
• The system must be installed on a level surface.
• Install pipe unions or anges to connect the system to the inlet and discharge piping for ease of
service.
• Install isolation valves on the inlet and discharge piping.
• A common ground must be connected between the Compressor Module and the
Compressor Package chassis. This ground must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and
any other applicable codes.
• Solid debris also must be removed from the gas prior to compression. When required, use a
5 to 10-micron inlet lter to remove debris from the gas stream. The degree of ltration required
depends on the specic application.
2.2 Inlet and Discharge Pressures
Refer to Table 1 for acceptable inlet and discharge pressure levels.

(depends on model)
70 psi
Consult factory for operations below 0.0 psig.
Operation at pressures above 25 psig will result in:
• Excessive oil carryover
• Loss of oil from the Compressor Module
When the discharge pressure of the Compressor Module reaches
the maximum, which ranges from 70 to 190 psig, depending on the
model (see Compressor Module Nomenclature on page iv):
• The Compressor Module goes into high discharge pressure
recycle if equipped.
• The Compressor Module’s bypass regulator diverts gas from the
high-pressure side to the low-pressure side of the module.
All Compressor Modules must be equipped with pressure-limiting
or relief devices.
A minimum pressure differential of 70 psi between inlet and
discharge pressure is required for proper operation.

Single-Compressor Module Installation
NOTE: Required Component – High Pressure Discharge Gas Bypass Valve
To eliminate redundancy, the high pressure discharge gas bypass (recycle) valve was removed from some of the
scroll modules. Packagers will need to install pressure relief downstream of our module. See table on page iv.
2.3 Ambient Temperature Range
The Compressor Module operating ambient temperature is 20°F to +122°F (-29° to +50°C). For details on
ambient temperatures for VFD startup and Compressor Module operation, see Table 10 on page 24.

2.6 Electrical Controls
2.6.1 General Considerations
All shutdown devices are dry contact switches rated Class I, Division II that are wired to a terminal box
for connection to the packager supplied control circuit. The common wires on all switches are connected
together. All switches are closed unless a fault condition is detected.
All safety and protective devices must be installed and used in accordance with applicable codes and
regulations.
Switches
All switch connections are wired to terminal strips in a junction box on the Compressor Module.
Switch Status
• Low Inlet Gas Pressure Normally Open, closes on pressure rise
• High Discharge Gas Pressure Normally Closed, opens on pressure rise
• High Temperature Normally Closed, opens on temperature rise
Electrical Considerations - Variable Speed Compressor Module
• Compressor power for a variable speed Compressor Module is the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
• Compressor speed control can be either a 4-20 mA or 0-10V signal (transducer supplied by customer)
applied to the VFD. Speed can also be manually controlled with a potentiometer or the VFD can be
set for a xed speed.
• The Compressor is protected by the VFD.
• The customer control circuit must supply an Enable signal to the VFD before the drive will accept a
Run Fwd signal.
• The VFD will start when the Enable signal is on and a Run Fwd signal is applied.
• The VFD will stop if the Run Fwd signal is off or the Enable signal is removed.
NOTE
The drive provides 24V for the Enable and Run Fwd signals.
The installer must connect the Enable and Run Forward terminals to the drive’s 24V terminal.

2.6.2 Oil Cooler Fan Control
The Compressor Module temperature is controlled by managing module oil ow and temperature. The
module’s precise temperature control is critical to system performance and equipment life. Maintaining
proper temperature control also reduces the possibility of gas condensing into liquids during operation.
• Cooling fans require 24VDC, 4.5A (105 Watts) for the Compressor Module. Fan speed is controlled
by a 0-10VDC control signal that is applied to the yellow lead on the fan terminal strip. Standard
Compressor Modules use a nonlinear PTC thermistor to monitor oil temperature and provide a speed
signal.
• High temperature Compressor Modules use a linear NTC thermistor to monitor oil temperature. This
signal is available to support a customer-provided fan speed control circuit.
• All power connections are wired to terminal strips in a junction box on the Compressor Module.

• Lower site glass 50%: No action required.
• Lower site glass less than 50%: Add approved oil to this level.
• Lower site glass more than 100%: Remove excess oil.
2. Compressor is operating at full speed 4,800 RPM the lower site glass will be 100% full and the upper
site glass will also show some level of oil
• Upper site glass 50%: No action required.
• Upper site glass 100% or more: Remove excess oil.
High Oil Carryover
1. System is overlled with oil: The oil level should never reach the top of the primary oil separator top
site glass under any operating condition.
2. No back pressure on the discharge when the compressor is turned off resulting in oil foaming and
carrying over to the secondary oil separator: Check upper site glass when the compressor is rst turned
off.
3. Contaminated or oil saturated secondary oil separator: Replace the secondary oil separator every
8,000 operating hours, more frequently if the gas is dirty.
4. Clogged or restricted scavenge line orice: Remove inspect and clean.
5. Clogged or restricted oil scavenge tube: Remove inspect and clean.
6. Incorrect oil: Use only approved oil.
7. Inlet pressure too high: Verify that the inlet pressure is less than 10 PSIG.
Symptoms
• Low oil level, High temperature fault, Oil in gas.
Possible Cause
• Secondary oil separator is saturated with oil or at the end of its service life. Replace.
• Oil level above top site glass under any operating condition. System overlled with oil. Remove
excess oil, replace secondary oil separator.
• Failed “O” ring in the oil separator block assembly. Repair or replace assembly.

4.4 Cleaning the Inlet Screen
The 30-mesh screen in the inlet block must remain unobstructed for optimal ow rate. If the ow rate is
lower than expected even when the Compressor is running properly, this screen may be obstructed.
Figure 14 Gas Inlet Block and Screen
To inspect and clean the inlet screen:
1. Turn off and isolate the Compressor from all power
sources.
2. Turn off the gas supply.
3. Vent the system to 0 psig.
4. Remove the SAE plug on the side of the inlet block.
5. Remove the screen.
6. Inspect the screen and inside of the block. Clean or
replace if necessary.
7. Replace SAE nut.
8. Return the Compressor Package to service.
9. Check for leaks at all ttings that have been disturbed.
4.5 Servicing the Scavenge Line Orice
The scavenge line orice in the oil separator block must remain clear of obstruction. If this orice is
restricted, the secondstage oil separator can become saturated, increasing oil consumption.
Note: image shown is 90 degree orice. Procedure is the same for straight orice.
Figure 15 Scavenge Line Orice
To inspect and clean the orice:
1. Turn off and isolate the Compressor from all power sources.
2. Turn off the gas supply.
3. Vent the system to 0 psig.
4. Disconnect the tube and remove the tting.
5. Inspect the screen. Clean or replace the tting assembly if necessary.
6. Replace the tting and reconnect the tube. Tighten the swage nut hand tight plus 1/4 turn.
7. Return the Compressor Package to service.
8. Check for leaks at all ttings that have been disturbed.

4.6 Changing the Second-Stage Separator Element
To replace the second-stage separator element:
1. Turn off and isolate the Compressor from all power sources.
2. Turn off the gas supply.
3. Vent the system to 0 psig. Follow applicable safety procedures and codes.
4. Loosen the separator element by turning it counterclockwise with a strap wrench.
5. Remove the separator element. Verify the gasket is removed with the separator.
6. Inspect the separator block for contaminants and remove any debris.
7. Apply a small amount of oil to the gasket and internal "O" ring on the new separator element.
8. Install the element on the separator block; turn clockwise to tighten.
9. Return the Compressor Package to service.
10. Check for leaks at all ttings that have been disturbed
