Chapter 6 Compressor lifting and installation
6.1 Compressor lifting
After the compressor arrives at the warehouse, check the crate if it is in good condition
and check all compressor accessories with shipping documents to see if there is any
discrepancy.
Each HANBELL centrifugal compressor has been fully tested at the factory and all
precautionary measures have been taken to make sure the compressor is in perfect
condition during working. When lifting the compressor, it is recommended to use a steel
chain, a steel cables as shown in the Figure 6.1as below, or a safety rope, which have
loading capacity of 5,000kgf.
Figure 6.1 lifting the compressor with a steel chain or a steel cable
Make sure that the steel chain, steel cable, safety rope or other lifting equipment is
properly positioned to avoid damage to the compressor and its accessories. Keep the
compressor in a horizontal position when lifting to avoid crashing on the ground, hitting on
the wall or any situation that may damage it and its accessories.
6.2 Compressor mounting
The position of the compressor in the refrigeration system should be accessible and
makes sure that the chiller base or site is far enough from any heat source to prevent heat
radiation. The compressor should also be installed as closer as possible to the power
supply for easier connection. It is a must to keep good ventilation and low humidity
condition in the site. Make sure that the supporter is strong enough to prevent vibration
and noise while the compressor is operating.
The compressor must be installed horizontally. In order to prevent vibration when
operating, cushions or mounting pads should be installed. The installation of mounting
pads is shown in the Figure 6.2below. The tightening of bolt should still keep certain
deformation tolerance on rubber pad.
※
It is strongly recommended the position of the compressor is higher than the evaporator,
and the compressor mounting pad is higher than the economizer refrigerant level (Figure
6.3).
※
Please make sure to lock the mounting of the front side and back side, and it is no need
to lock the mount in the middle shown in figure 6.2 below.
