IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Only qualified personnel should install and repair compressors. The electrical connection of the compressor
and of its accessories is also to be done by authorized personnel only.

Delivery
Please check whether the delivery is complete and intact. Deficiencies should be immediately reported in writing.

General Safety Information

• Refrigeration compressors must be used with approved refrigerants and refrigeration oils only.
It is not allowed to run a test without the compressor being connected to the system and without refrigerant.
• It is of vital importance that the discharge stop valve has been fully opened before the compressor is started.
• If the discharge stop valve is closed or partly closed an unaccepted - able pressure with accordingly high
temper.
• Natures may develop in the cylinder head.
Even when handling the compressor correctly high temperatures may develop and cause injuries when
touching.
• The maximum operating pressures stamped on the nameplate are compulsory, and should never be exceeded.

Installation Guidance
• Do not use the units outside of the operating limits specified.
• Install only in a properly ventilated area.
• Check tightness of all screw terminals.
• Check that the electrical supply to the installation is suitable and that the motor is connected correctly.
• Check the currents drawn.
• The refrigerant circuit must be perfectly clean, dry and installed according to best refrigeration practice.
• Check settings of all safety devices.
• Limit the superheat of the suction gas to 20K for low temperature operation.
Compressor Motor of Part Winding Construction
With this type of motor the stator winding is separated into two parts - normally in Y/YY connection. The
both coil packets lay parallel to each other in the stator slots and the winding crown. They are insulated
from each other. With this construction it is possible to switch the part windings one after the other (with
a time delay), resulting in a significantly reduced starting current.

Electrical Connections
Closely observe part-winding
1. Part winding (contactor K1): Connections 1U1, 1V1, 1W1
2. Part-winding (contactor K2): Connections 2U1, 2V1, 2W1
Time delay before connection of the second part-winding 0.5 seconds

Attention!
Danger of compressor damage!
Wrong wiring results in opposing or displaced rotating fields due to changed phase angle. This leads to
locked rotor conditions. Mount connections correctly.

Attention!
Compressor motor is equipped with electronic protection device!
• The electrical connections should be made according to the wiring diagram.
• When the protection device cuts out, this indicates either an overload or impermissible operating
conditions:
Determine the source of the problem and correct it!
• Terminals B1-B2, M1-M2 and cables 1-2 must not come into contact with supply or control voltage!

Electrical Connections of Fan Motor Thermal Protector

The electrical connections between the control line and the thermal protection switch of fan motor must
be carried out on site. If this is omitted, the fan motor is not protected against damage.

COMMISSIONING

System Cleanness
Braze only when using inert gas. Only materials and components approved by refrigeration engineering are
suitable.
It is absolutely necessary that all impurities (dirt, brazing scale, flux, scobs etc.) are removed from the
system before operation in order to avoid breakdowns. Many of these impurities are so small that they can
pass through the filter built into the suction side of the compressor. Other blockages can occur in the
suction filter situated in the compressor. A high pressure drop can even damage the filter. For this reason
we strongly recommend the use of a large suction tube filter (which causes only a minimal drop of pressure)
for all installations which are to be assembled on site or in cases where the required cleanness cannot be
guaranteed.

Pipe Connections
The pipe connections are designed to , accept tubes with standard millimeter or inch dimensions. Solder
connections have stepped diameters. According to the size the tube can be pushed more or less into the
fitting. If not required the end with the largest diameter can be cut off.

Warning!
Compressor is under pressure with holding charge.
Injury of skin and eyes possible. Wear safety goggles while working on compressor:
Do not open connections before pressure has been1'eleased.

Attention!
Absolutely avoid penetration of air!
The shut-off valves should remain closed until evacuating.

Pipelines
Only use tubes and components which are
• Clean and dry inside (free from slag, swart, rust, and phosphate coatings) and
• Which are delivered with an air tight seal.

Leak Test
The suction shut-off valve and discharge shut-off valve on the compressor remain closed during pressure
testing to prevent air and moisture from entering. The test pressure (dried nitrogen) must not exceed 20.5
bar provided no other system component’s pressure is lower; in these cases the lower pressure is the test
pressure.

10
COMMISSIONING

Evacuation (Drying)
Energize the crankcase heater.
Open all shut-off valves and solenoid valves. Evacuate the entire system including compressor using a
vacuum pump connected to the high and low pressure sides.
When the pump is switched off a "standing vacuum" of less than 1.5 mbar must be maintained.
If necessary repeat this procedure several times.

Attention!
Danger of motor and compressor damage!
Do not start compressor under vacuum!
Do not apply any voltage - not even for test purposes!

Charging Refrigerant
Charge only permitted refrigerants
• Before refrigerant is charged:
- Energize the crankcase heater.
- Check the compressor oil level.
- Do not switch on the compressor!
• Liquid refrigerant must be filled through the charge fitting in the receiver shut-off valve or in the liquid
line. The use of a filter drier in the charging line is highly recommended.
• For systems with flooded evaporator refrigerant can be also charged into the evaporator.
• After commissioning it may be necessary to add refrigerant:
Charge the refrigerant from the suction side while the compressor is in operation. Charge preferably
at the evaporator inlet.
Blends must be taken from the charging cylinder as "solid liquid".

If liquid is charged:

Attention!
Danger of wet operation!
Charge small amounts at a time!
Keep the oil temperature above 40°C.

Danger!
Explosion risk of components and pipelines by hydraulic overpressure.
Avoid absolutely overcharging of the system with refrigerant!

11
CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
Ensure that all service valves are in the open
position before start-up. A closed discharge or suction service valve may cause serious damage to
the compressor and/or compromise safety device operation, thereby resulting in potential injury to
personnel.
• Oil Level
Each compressors is delivered with sufficient oil charge for normal operation.
The optimum oil level should be checked by operating the compressor until the system is stable and
then comparing the sight glass reading with the appropriate diagram.
The oil level can also be checked within 10 seconds of compressor shut-down.

• Oil temperature (approx. 15 - 20 K above ambient temperature resp.

suction side saturation temperature)

• Are all shut-off valves opened?

• Check that all safety devices are operational and properly set.

• For high-pressure switches the setting must not exceed maximum service pressure of any system
component. Refer to the Application Guidelines for relevant compressor pressure safety limits.

• A low-pressure switch is recommended to prevent operation under vacuum. Use a minimum setting of
1.1 bar (absolute).

• Verify that all electrical connections are properly fastened and in compliance with local safety
regulations.

• Ensure that the crankcase heater of compressor has been energized for a minimum of 12 hours before
initial start-up and/or after prolonged shutdown periods.

12
START-UP PROCEDURE
Never start the system in the absence of a refrigerant charge.
Do not bypass the safety switches during start up.

Starting and Cooling Down Operations

For comissioning and pull down operations make sure that the maximum admissible operating evaporation
temperature is achieved or fallen short of within a short time.

Attention!
During pull down operation:
Danger of extreme suction gas superheat and therefore thermal overload of the compressor!
Ensure sufficient refrigerant charge bubble - free at intake of interstage expansion valve and subcooler.

Lubrication / oil check

The compressor lubrication should be checked immediately after starting.
• Oil level 1/4 to 3/4 height of sight glass (repeat checks within the first hours of operation).
• Automatic monitoring by differential oil pressure switch (differential cutout pressure 0.7 bar, time delay
120 s). When this device cuts out a subsequent fault diagnosis of the system is required.
Observe therefore recommendations shown on cover of differential oil pressure switch!

Attention!
Danger of wet operation!
Keep the discharge temperature at least 30 K ( R22 ) or at least 20 K ( R404A ) above condensing
temperature.

If larger quantities of oil have to be added:

Attention!
Danger of liquid slugging!
Check the oil return.

Vibrations
The whole plant especially the pipe lines must be checked for abnormal vibrations.
If necessary additional protective measures must be taken.

Attention!
Pipe fractures and leakages at compressor and other components of the plant possible !
Avoid strong vibrations!

Switching Frequency
The compressor should not be started more than 8 times per hour. Thereby a minimum running time
should be guaranteed:
Unit model min. running time
CRLT 1500-2000-2500-3000 5 min

13
START-UP PROCEDURE (CONT.)

Checking Operating Data

• Evaporating temperature.
• Suction gas temperature.
• Condensing temperature
• Discharge gas temperature.
• Oil temperature.
• Switching frequency.
• Current.
• Voltage.
• Prepare data protocol.

Refrigeration Oils For Bitzer Compressors

The following refrigeration oils are approved for Bitzer Compressor:

Refrigerant Oil Charge

HCFC Mineral Oil
R22 Bitzer B 5.2
Ester Oil
HFC
R404A Tc < 55°C
Bitzer BSE 32

Selection of Contactors, Cables and Fuses

The maximum working current / maximum power consumption must be considered (“Technical Data”).
Contactors : operational category AC3
Select both compressor motor contactors for approximately 60% of maximum operating current.

Special recommendations for safe compressor and plant operation

Analyses show that the vast majority of compressor failures occur due to inadmissible operating
conditions. This is especially true for failures deriving from lack of lubrication:

• Expansion valve operation -pay attention to the manufacturer's guidelines!

- Correct position and fixation of the temperature bulb at the suction line. When using a heat
exchanger, place bulb behind evaporator, as usual -in no case behind the heat exchanger.
- Sufficient superheat.
- Stable operation at all operating and load conditions (also part load, summer / winter operation).
- Bubble-free refrigerant at expansion valve.

• Avoid refrigerant migration (high pressure to low pressure side) during longer shut-off periods.
- Application of a crankcase heater.
- Pump down system (especially if evaporator can get warmer than suction line or compressor).
- Automatic sequence change for systems with multiple refrigerant circuits.

14
SERVICE / MAINTENANCE
Electric Shock Hazard
Disconnect the main power supply before servicing the system or handling any internal parts of the unit.

Regular Checks
Examine regularly the plant according to national regulations.
Check the following points:
• Operating data.
• Oil supply.
• Protection devices and all compressor monitoring (parts differential oil pressure switch, high / low
pressure switch).
• Check electrical cable connections on tight fitting.
• Check tightening torques.
• Refrigerant charge, tightness test.
• Update data protocol.

Internal Pressure Relief Valve

The valve is maintenance free.
Repeated opening of the valve due to abnormal operating conditions, however, may result in steady
leakage.
Consequences are losses in capacity and increased discharge temperature. Check and replace the valve
in this case.

Oil Changing
Oil changing is not normally necessary for factory assembled plants. For "field installations" and for
applications near the operating limits a first oil change is recommended after approx.
100 operating hours.
This includes cleaning the oil filter and magnetic plug.
After that the oil has to be replaced approx. every 3 years or 10000 - 12000 operating hours. Clean also oil
filter and magnetic plug.

Attention!
Ester oils are strongly hygroscopic.
Moisture is chemically compounded with these oils. It cannot be, or only insufficiently, removed by
evacuation.
Handle very carefully:
Avoid air admission into the plant and oil can. Use only originally closed oil drums.

Dispose of waste oil properly!

15
DE-COMMISSIONING
Standstill
Keep the crankcase heater switched on until dismantling the compressor! This prevents increased
refrigerant solution in the compressor oil.

Dismantling Compressor
For repair work, that makes dismantling necessary, or when decommissioning them:
Close the shut-off valves at the compressor. Pump-off the refrigerant. Do not release the refrigerant but
dispose it properly!

Warning!
Compressor can be under pressure!
Severe injuries possible. Wear safety goggles!
Open the threaded joints or flanges at the compressor valves. Remove the compressor if necessary with a
hoisting tool.

Disposing Compressor
Drain the oil at the compressor.
Dispose of waste oil properly!
Chlorinated oil is pollutive waste.

Have the compressor repaired or disposed of properly!

When Exchanging a Compressor:

Attention!
Oil is already in the system,
Therefore it may be necessary to drain a part of the oil charge. If there are large quantities of oil in the
circuit (possibly from a preceding compressor damage), there is also a risk of liquid slugging at start.
Adjust oil level within the marked sight glass range!
