WARNING Risk of accidents.
Refrigerating compressors are pressurised machines and as such
call for heightened caution and care in handling.
The maximum permissible overpressure must not be exceeded,
even for testing purposes.
Risk of burns!
- Depending on the operating conditions, surface temperatures of
over 60°C on the discharge side or below 0°C on the suction side
can be reached.
- Avoid contact with refrigerant necessarily.
Contact with refrigerant can cause severe burns and skin
damage.
WARNING The compressor may not be used in potentially explosive
environments!

3.3 Limits of application
ATTENTION Compressor operation is possible within the operating limits
showninthediagrams.Pleasenotethesignicance
of the shaded areas. Thresholds should not be selected as
design or continuous operation points.
- Permissible ambient temperature (-20°C) - (+60°C)
- Max. permissible discharge end temperature 140°C.
-Max.permissibleswitchingfrequency12x/h.
- A minimum running time of 3 min. steady-state condition
(continuous operation) must be achieved.
For operation with supplementary cooling:
- Use only oils with high thermal stability.
- Avoid continuous operation near the threshold.
- Additional fans (accessories) can be used for additional cooling.
For operation with capacity regulator:
- The suction gas superheat temperature may need to be reduced
or set individually when operating near to the threshold.
- The limits of application are reduced.
Foroperationwithfrequencyconverter:
- The maximum current and power consumption must not be
exceeded.Inthecaseofoperationabovethemainsfrequency,the
application limit can therefore be limited.
When operating in the vacuum range, there is a danger of air
entering on the suction side. This can cause chemical reactions,
a pressure rise in the condenser and an elevated compressed-gas
temperature. Prevent the ingress of air at all costs!
INFO
For refilling, we recommend the above oil types.
Alternatives: see lubricants table, Chapter 7.4.
ATTENTION The oil level must be in the
visible part of the sight

4| Compressor assembly
INFO Newcompressorsarefactory-lledwithinertgas(3barnitrogen).
Leave this service charge in the compressor for as long as possible
and prevent the ingress of air. Check the compressor for transport
damage before starting any work.
4.2 Setting up
Setup on an even surface or frame with sufcient load-bearing capacity.
Single compressor preferably on vibration damper.
Duplex and parallel circuits always rigid.
On shell and tube condensers, install only with rubber-metal shock
mountings.
Provide adequate clearance for maintenance work.
Ensure adequate compressor ventilation.
Do not use in a corrosive, dusty, damp atmosphere or a com-
bustible environment.

4.3 Pipe connections
ATTENTION Damage possible.
Superheating can damage the valve.
Remove the pipe supports from the valve for soldering.
Only solder using inert gas to inhibit oxidation products (scale).
The discharge gas connection can be moved upwards with an
adapter (accessory). This makes it easier to remove the compressor from a refrigerating system.
Fig. 15: graduated
internal diameter
Pipe connections on the compressor are available for soldering or
welding (accessories). The discharge and suction line valves have
graduated inside diameters so that pipes with standart millimetre and
inch dimensions can be used. The pipe will be immersed more or less
deeply according to dimension.
The connection diameters of the shut-off valves are rated for maximum
compressor output. Theactualrequiredpipecrosssectionmustbe
matched to the output. The same applies for non-return valves.
4.4 Pipes
Pipes and system components must be clean and dry inside and free of scale, swarf and layers of
rust and phosphate. Only use air-tight parts.
Lay pipes correctly. Suitable vibration compensators must be provided to prevent pipes being
cracked and broken by severe vibrations.
Ensure a proper oil return.
Keep pressure losses to an absolute minimum.
4.5 Start unloader (external)
A internal start unloader ex factory is not available. Alternatively a start unloader can be installed in
the plant.
Operation:
When the compressor is started, a solenoid valve receives power via a time switch and opens a bypass between the discharge- and suction line. At the same time, a non-return valve in the discharge
line closes and prevents a backow of refrigerant from the condenser (Fig. 16).
The compressor is now short-circuited and delivers from the outow directly into the intake. The
pressure differential consequently decreases substantially. As a result, the torque on the drive shaft
of the compressor is considerably diminished. The drive motor can now start with a low level of
starting torque. As soon as the motor and the compressor reach their rated speed, the solenoid valve
closes and the non-return valve opens (Fig. 17). The compressor now works under normal load.

possible
4.6 Laying suction and pressure lines
A rule of thumb: Always lay the rst pipe section starting from the shut-off valve downwards
and parallel to the drive shaft.
ATTENTION Improperly installed pipes can cause cracks and tears, the result
being a loss of refrigerant.
INFO Proper layout of the suction and discharge lines directly after
the compressor is integral to the system’s smooth running and
vibration behaviour.
4| Compressor assembly
Important:
- Start unloader may only be employed during the starting phase.
- Check the solenoid valve and the non-return valve regulary for tightness.
- In addition, we recommend to use a heat protection thermostat on the discharge side of the compressor. This protects the compressor against thermal overloading. Connect the heat protection
thermostat in series on the safety chain of the control circuit, to switch off the compressor if
necessary.
- Follow these instructions to avoid thermal overloading.

4.7 Operating the shut-off valves
Before opening or closing the shut-off valve, release the valve spindle seal by approx. ¼ of a turn
counter-clockwise.
After activating the shut-off valve, re-tighten the adjustable valve spindle seal clockwise.
After activating the spindle, generally t the spindle protection cap again and tighten with 14-16 Nm.
This serves as a second sealing feature during operation.

5.1 Information for contactor and motor contactor selection
All protection devices and switching or monitoring units must be tted in accordance with the local
safety regulations and established specications (e.g. VDE) as well as with the manufacturer’s infor-
mation. Motor protection switches are required! Motor contactors, feed lines, fuses and motor
protection switches must be rated on the basis of the maximum working current (see name plate).
For motor protection use a current-dependent and time-delayed overload protection device for monitoring all three phases. Set the overload protection device so that it must be actuated within 2 hours,
if there is 1.2 times the max. working current.
INFO
Connect the compressor motor in accordance with the circuit diagram
(see inside of terminal box).
Use suitable cable entry point of the correct protection type (see
name plate) for routing cables into the terminal box. Insert the strain
reliefs and prevent chafe marks on the cables.
Compare the voltage and frequency values with the data for the
mains power supply.
Only connect the motor if these values are the same.
DANGER Risk of electric shock! High voltage!
Only carry out work when the electrical system is disconnected
from the power supply!

5| Electrical connection
Compressors with this marking are suitable for direct or partial winding start. The motor winding is
subdivided into two parts:
Part winding 1 = 50% and part winding 2 = 50%.
This winding division reduces the start-up current needed for a part winding start to approx. 50% of
that for a direct start.

ATTENTION Failureto dothis results inopposed rotary elds and results in
damage to the motor. After the motor starts up via partial winding
1, partial winding 2 must be switched on after a maximum delay
of one second. Failure to comply can adversely affect the service
life of the motor.
INFO When testing coils with resistance tester, please note that partial
winding 1 and partial winding 2 are wired internally in HG88e.

5.6 Electronic trigger unit INT69 G
5.7 Connection of the trigger unit INT69 G
The compressor motor is tted with cold conductor temperature sensors (PTC) connected to the
electronic trigger unit INT69 G in the terminal box. In case of excess temperature in the motor
winding, the INT 69 G deactivates the motor contactor. Once cooled, it can be restarted only if the
electronic lock of the output relay (terminals B1+B2) is released by interrupting the supply voltage.
The hot gas side of the compressor can also be protected against overtemperature using thermal
protection thermostats (accessory).
The unit trips when an overload or inadmissible operating conditions occur. Find and remedy
the cause.

5.9 Oil sump heater (accessories)
Anschlussschema für Ölsumpfheizung
Connection diagramm for oil sump heater
Plan de raccordement pour résistance de carter d‘huile
When the compressor is at a standstill, refrigerant diffuses into the lubricating oil of the compressors
housing, depending on pressure and ambient temperature. This reduces the lubricating capacity of
the oil. When the compressor starts up, the refrigerant contained in the oil evaporates out throught the
reduction in pressure. The consequences can be foaming and migration of the oil, causing oil shocks
under certain circumstances.
Operation: The oil sump heater operates when the compressor is at a standstill. When the compressor starts up, the oil sump heater switches off again automatically.
Connection: The oil sump heater must be connected via an auxiliary contact (or parallel wired auxiliary contact) of the compressor contactor to a seperate electric circuit.
El. data: 230 V - 1 - 50/60 Hz, 200 W.

6.1 Preparations for start-up
6.4 Evacuation
First evacuate the system and then include the compressor in the evacuation process.
Relieve the compressor pressure.
Open the suction and pressure line shut-off valves.
Evacuate the suction and discharge pressure sides using the vacuum pump.
At the end of the evacuation process, the vacuum should be < 1.5 mbar when the pump is switched off.
Repeat this process as often as is required.
The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested. There are
therefore no special running-in instructions.
Check the compressor for transport damage!
6.2 Pressure strength test
The compressor has been factory-tested for pressure resistance. The following must be observed if
the entire plant is subjected to an additional pressure strength test:
Test the refrigeration circuit according to EN 378-2 or a corresponding safety standard.
6.3 Leak test
Carry out the leak test of the refrigerating system in accordance with EN 378-2 or a corresponding
safety standard without including the compressor.
INFO
To protect the compressor against inadmissible operating conditions,
high pressure and low pressure pressostats are mandatory on the
installation side.
DANGER Risk of bursting!
The compressor must only be pressurised using nitrogen (N2).
Never pressurise with oxygen or other gases!
The maximum permissible overpressure of the compressor must
not be exceeded at any time during the testing process (see name
plate data)! Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen as this
could cause the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
DANGER Risk of bursting!
Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen (N2) as this could cause the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
ATTENTION Do not start the compressor if it is under vacuum. Do not apply
any voltage - even for test purposes (must only be operated with
refrigerant).
Under vacuum, the spark-over and creepage current distances of the
terminal board connection bolts shorten; this can result in winding and
terminal board damage.

6| Commissioning
Make sure that the suction and pressure line shut-off valves are open.
With the compressor switched off, add the liquid refrigerant directly to the condenser or receiver,
breaking the vacuum.
If the refrigerant needs topping up after starting the compressor, it can be topped up in vapour
form on the suction side, or, taking suitable precautions, also in liquid form at the inlet to the
evaporator.
6.5 Refrigerantlling
CAUTION Wear personal protective clothing such as goggles and protective
gloves!
ATTENTION Avoidoverllingthesystemwithrefrigerant!
To avoid shifts in concentration, zeotropic refrigerant blends must
alwaysonlybelledintotherefrigeratingplantinliquidform.
Donotpourliquidcoolantthroughthesuctionlinevalveon
the compressor.
It is not permissible to mix additives with the oil and
refrigerant.
6.7 Avoiding slugging
To prevent slugging:
The complete refrigeration system must be properly designed.
All components must be compatibly rated with each other with regard to output
(particularly the evaporator and expansion valves).
Suction gas superheat at the compressor input should be min. 7 - 10 K. (check the setting
of the expansion valve).
The system must reach a state of equilibrium.
Particularly in critical systems (e.g. several evaporator points), measures are recommended such
as replacement of liquid traps, solenoid valve in the liquid line, etc.
There should be no movement of coolant whatsoever while the compressor is at a standstill.
ATTENTION Slugging can damage the compressor and cause refrigerant to
leak.
6.6 Start-up
Check that the safety and protection devices (pressure switch, motor protection, electrical
contact protection measures, etc.) are all functioning properly.
Switch on the compressor and allow to run for a minimum of 10 min.
Check the oil level by: The oil must be visible in the sightglass.
WARNING Ensure that both shut-off valves are open before starting the
compressor!
ATTENTION Iflargerquantitiesofoilhavetobetoppedup,thereisariskof
oil hammer effects.
If this is the case check the oil return!

In order to guarantee optimum operational reliability and service life of the compressor, we recommend
carrying out servicing and inspection work at regular intervals:
Oil change:
- not mandatory for factory-produced series systems.
- for eld installations or when operating near the application limit: for the rst time after 100
to 200 operating hours, then approx. every 3 years or 10,000 - 12,000 operating hours.
Dispose of used oil according to the regulations; observe national regulations.
Annual checks: Oil level, leak tightness, running noises, pressures, temperatures, function of
auxiliary devices such as oil sump heater, pressure switch.
WARNING Before starting any work on the compressor:
Switch off the compressor and secure it to prevent a restart.
Relieve compressor of system pressure.
Preventairfrominltratingthesystem!
After maintenance has been performed:
Connect safety switch.
Evacuate compressor.
Release switch lock.

7.5 Decommissioning
Close the shut-off valves on the compressor. Drain the refrigerant (it must not be discharged into the
environment) and dispose of it according to the regulations. When the compressor is depressurised,
undo the fastening screws of the shut-off valves. Remove the compressor using an appropriate hoist.
Dispose of the oil inside in accordance with the applicable national regulations.
