The
pipe connections
have stepped internal diameters so that pipes with
standard millimetre and inch dimensions can be used.
The connection diameters of the shut-off valves are designed for maximum
compressor output.
The required pipe cross-section must be
matched
to the capacity. The same applies for non-return valves.
The required tightening torque for the flange connection is 60 Nm.

4.5 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.

ATTENTION
Risk of damages.
Overheating can damage the valve.
Remove the pipe supports from the valve for soldering.
Only solder using inert gas to inhibit oxidation products (scale).
4.6 Start unloader (external)
An 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 by-
pass between the discharge- and suction line. At the same time, a non-return valve in the discharge
line closes and prevents a backflow of refrigerant from the condenser (Fig. 17).
The compressor is now short-circuited and delivers from the outflow 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. 18). The compressor now works under normal load.
