Semi-Hermetic Single Screw Compressor Version III

1.

Scope of Application

This booklet applies to semi-hermetic single screw compressor for use in Model  F type (ZH_F), 
G type (ZH_G).  Replacement intervals specified in the booklet are empirically worked out 
based on the design service life expected of the compressors operated under the design 
conditions, and are intended to provide a general guide by which to formulate a maintenance 
plan.
