VZH compressors come delivered with four
rubber mounting grommets and metal sleeve
liners that serve to isolate the compressor from
the base frame. These grommets must always
be used to mount the compressor in a single
application. The grommets must be compressed
until contact between the flat washer and
the steel mounting sleeve is established. The
grommets attenuate to a great extent the
transmission of compressor vibrations to the base
frame.
Before the suction and discharge plugs are
removed, the nitrogen holding charge must be
released via the suction schrader valve to avoid
an oil mist blowout. Remove the suction plug
first and the discharge plug afterwards. The plugs
shall be removed only just before connecting the
compressor to the installation in order to avoid
moisture from entering the compressor. When
the plugs are removed, it is essential to keep the
compressor in an upright position so as to avoid
oil spillage.
Each VZH scroll compressor is equipped with
two lift rings on the top shell. Always use
both these rings when lifting the compressor.
Use lifting equipment rated and certified for
the weight of the compressor. A spreader
bar rated for the weight of the compressor is
highly recommended to ensure a better load
distribution. The use of lifting hooks closed with a
clasp certified to lift the weight of the compressor
is also highly recommended. Always respect the
appropriate rules concerning lifting objects of the
type and weight of these compressors. Maintain
the compressor in an upright position during all
handling operations.
Never use only one lifting lug to lift the
compressor. The compressor is too heavy for
the single lug to handle, and the risk is that the
lug could separate from the compressor with
extensive damage and possible personal injury
as a result.
When the compressor is mounted as part of
an installation, never use the lift rings on the
compressor to lift the installation. The risk is that
the lugs could separate from the compressor
or that the compressor could separate from the
base frame with extensive damage and possible
personal injury as a result.
Never apply force to the terminal box with the
intention of moving the compressor, as the
force placed upon the terminal box can cause
extensive damage to both the box and the
components contained inside.
