Oil
Separator
In addition to the oil heater installation as described in the section of the oil temperature control,
please also note the following points.
1) Installation of oil level gauge
To manage the lubricant level, an oil level gauges that shows both the upper and lower level
limit must be provided.
2) Installation of protection device from oil level decrease
In case of the oil supply by differential pressure, install a protection device from oil level
decrease. Since there is a possibility that alarm for protection from lubricating differential
pressure decrease does not activate even if the amount of lubricant is insufficient.
3) Sufficient stiffness
If a horizontal type of oil separator with the compressor and motor mounted on top is adopted,
the oil separator must be sufficiently rigidly designed.
Figure app.-7 is an example flow with oil separator. Choose an appropriate oil separation method
(coalescer / demister / cyclone system) according to the condition of your refrigeration system.

Protection
Devices
Package unit of the compressor, must be protective devices to prevent damage to the components.
Install the necessary protective devices in accordance with applicable law.
Generally, as shown in Figure app.-1, monitoring and control of pressure and temperature of
refrigerant, / oil, are required.
In addition, the range of operation, in accordance with applicable law, the installation of safety valve
is also required.
Please refer also to section 1.4, Chapter 1 and section 2.3.3 Chapter 2 in this manual.
