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 10micron 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.

25 psig
70 psig
to
190 psig
(depends
on model)
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.

There are several reasons for making this change:
• Locating the valve at the module level becomes redundant when two or more of our modules are

• The original intent of the valve was to provide a means for the module to operate in cases where the
discharge was 100% blocked due to a downstream event; however, packagers are ultimately responsible
for high pressure relief.
• When in use, the valve can act as an expansion valve when gas is passing through it, possibly
condensing water and or hydrocarbons which could be detrimental to our modules.
• The valve is a back pressure regulator which can maintain a steady discharge pressure, however the
majority of packages with our modules are controlled through suction gas recycle. Also, most packages
have a back pressure regulator on the discharge of our modules to control the actual discharge pressure
to a minimum of 70 PSIG.
• The presence of the valve was thought to protect the end user in case the discharge of our module is
isolated from the skid-level pressure relief valve and the other safeties on our module (high pressure
switch, drive current limit) are disabled or modied. However, inspectors do not consider our gas bypass
valve to be a high pressure safety device. It is the packager’s responsibility to provide adequate high
pressure safety relief/shutdown.
Packagers will need to install downstream pressure relief of our module.
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 7 on page 27.

2.4 Installation Clearance and Dimensions
Allow sufcient clearance on all sides for service access, especially for gas and electrical connections at
the rear of the Compressor Module. Check applicable national and local electrical codes.
Cooling air ow is back to front—from the gas connection end to the oil cooler end. Do not block or restrict
the cooler fans or oil cooler.

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.
SwitchStatus
• Low Inlet Gas PressureNormally Open, closes on pressure rise
• High Discharge Gas PressureNormally Closed, opens on pressure rise
• High TemperatureNormally Closed, opens on temperature rise
• The 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.
• Each Compressor on a module must be protected by an individual manual reset overload between
the VFD and the Compressor.
• The overloads should be able to be set at a maximum of 26A.
• If either overload opens, the VFD must be disabled.
• The overloads must be congured for manual reset.
• Normal full load run current for each Compressor on the module at 4800 rpm (80 Hz) is approximately
23A.
• 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) x 2 (9A 210W total) 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.

2.6.3 Compressor Module Motor Protection
Variable Speed Compressor Module Protection
• The two Compressors in the variable speed Compressor Module should be treated as a single
Compressor. Both Compressors must be run at the same time to prevent oil from accumulating in
one Compressor. Module capacity can be changed by varying the typical Compressor speed, ranging
from 2400 to 4800 rpm.
• If two or more Compressor Modules are used together, each module can be considered as one
Compressor and individual modules can be turned off.
• Each Compressor on a variable speed Compressor Module requires independent overload protection
between the VFD and Compressor. See 2.6.1 on page 10.

Draining Oil
Under normal operation, the Compressor and oil circuit remain under pressure when the Compressor
is turned off. This pressure can be used to drain most of the oil. It is also possible to use the gas supply
pressure to force oil out of the Compressor Module. In some cases it may necessary to pressurize the
module with an inert gas to remove the oil.
1. Turn the knob on the backseating control valve fully counterclockwise.
2. Connect the backseating control valve to the Schrader valve near the bottom of the rst-stage oil
separator, shown in Figure 15.
3. Connect one end of the oil transfer hose to the backseating control valve.
4. Place the free end of the hose into a suitable container and turn the knob on the backseating control
valve clockwise to open the Schrader valve and open the oil transfer hose ball valve.
5. Leave the valves open until the oil stops owing and gas comes out of the hose; close the valves.
6. Relocate the hose to the Schrader valve on the inlet of one Compressor and repeat Steps 5 and 6.
Repeat for the other Compressor on the Compressor Module.
7. Move the hose to the Schrader valve on the oil cooler and repeat Steps 5 and 6.
8. Close the valves, remove the service hose and replace the protective caps on all Schrader valves.
9. Note the volume of oil that has been drained from the Compressor Module; replace the oil as
described in the next section, Replacing Oil on page 22.
