COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY

 

CB9A-030    page 16/28

 

Compressor assembly is generally the opposite of 
compressor disassembly.  Before reassembling, clean 
each part thoroughly.  Check all machined surfaces for 
burrs or roughness, and file lightly if necessary. 

 

Replace any O-rings or gaskets that are removed or 
disturbed during service.

 

 

1. 

CRANKCASE ASSEMBLY

 

After replacing the crankshaft, bearing carrier, and 
bearing cover plate, the connecting rod and 
crosshead can be assembled in the crankcase. See 
the "Bearing Replacement" section. 
a.  To attach the connecting rod to the crosshead 

assembly, first coat the wrist pin, the wrist pin 
bore in the crosshead assembly, and the wrist 
pin bushing in the connecting rod with grease. 

b.  Start the wrist pin in the bore of the crosshead 

assembly and tap lightly until the pin begins to 
project through to the inside of the crosshead 
assembly. 

c.  Slide the connecting rod up inside of the 

crosshead assembly and align the bushing with 
the wrist pin. 

d.  Lightly tap the wrist pin through the connecting 

rod until it is centered in the crosshead 
assembly.  The wrist pin should be snug in the 
crosshead assembly.  The connecting rod 
should rotate freely on the wrist pin, but should 
not be loose. 

e.  Dip the wrist pin plugs in grease and press 

them against the ends of the wrist pin. 

f.  Place the bearing halves into each half of the 

connecting rod, aligning the bearing tangs with 
the slots in the connecting rod.  Coat the 
bearing with grease. 

g.  Set the top of the connecting rod over the 

crankshaft journal.  Replace the connecting rod 
cap with the dots on the connecting rod and 
cap on the same side. 

h.  Start the nuts on the connecting rod bolts and 

torque per Table 7 - "Bolt Torque." 

i.  Follow this same procedure for the opposite 

connecting rod. 

2. CROSSHEAD 

GUIDE 

a.  Place the crosshead guide gasket on top of the 

crankcase. 

b.  Lubricate the inside bore of the crosshead 

guide with light oil. 

c.  Set the crosshead guide over the piston rods 

and the crossheads, and slowly lower it against 
the crankcase.  Make certain that the 
crosshead assemblies are started straight in 
the crosshead guide bores to prevent binding 
when lowering the crosshead guide into 
position. 

d.  Install the crosshead guide capscrews.  DO 

NOT tighten. 

3.  Fill the crankcase with oil.  Refer to the "Crankcase 

Lubrication" section.  Squirt oil into the crankshaft, 
roller bearings, crankshaft journals, and crosshead 
assemblies to ensure proper lubrication at start up. 

4.  Attach the inspection plate and the inspection plate 

gasket to the crankcase. 

5.  PACKING BOX ASSEMBLIES 

Refer to the section 'SEAL REPLACEMENT' for 
packing box assembly.  

Before installing the packing 

boxes into the crosshead guide, inspect the piston 
rods for scoring or roughness.  Remove any burrs 
or sharp edges.  Lubricate the piston rods and 
packing box O-rings with light oil.  

The packing 

installation tool (Blackmer Part No. 795040) 
must be used to avoid damaging the packing 
when starting it over the rod.

 

a.  Place the packing installation tool over the end 

of the piston rod. 

b.  Install the O-ring on the lower packing box then 

slide it onto the piston rod and down into the 
crosshead guide. 

c.  Install the packing box retainer ring, with new 

nylon locking inserts, and tighten. 

d.  Slide the oil deflector ring down over the piston 

rod. 

e.  Place the two O-rings on the upper packing 

box, then slide the box over the piston rod until 
the upper packing box assembly rests on top of 
the crosshead guide. 

 

Figure 9 - Upper Packing Box Alignment

 

f.  Note the orientation of the valve cutouts on the 

packing box.  The cutouts must align with the 
valve pockets in the cylinder.  Rotate the 
packing box as needed for the proper 
alignment. 

g.  Remove the packing installation tool from the 

piston rod. 

h.  Repeat steps a - g for the other piston rod and 

packing boxes. 

6.  Packing must be broken in.  Finish compressor 

assembly then refer to "Packing Lubrication."
