ComPAC Installation guide
Connection of pipes
Connect all piping and mount all hoses and valves for compressor cooling.
The piping design must include considerations regarding function, suspension, vibrations, ther-
mal expansion and pre-stress after welding in order to avoid high load on the unit connections.
The safety valves are fitted on the unit from factory. The pipe connection to the valve discharge
branch must be made in accordance with valid rules/standards. External piping and condens-
ers are not protected by the safety valves fitted on the unit.
Leak and pressure test
Leak and pressure test according to the applied/local codes and rules. Isolate the compressor
unit from the test pressure or disconnect pressure transducers and safety valves. Never ex-
ceed the test pressure of the unit stated on the unit name plate. All ComPAC units are pressure
and performance tested from factory.
Electrical connection
Connect power supply wiring according to electrical diagrams.
Final check
Check all relevant components, connections, electrical connections, safety valves, safety high
pressure cut-out and machine room safety.
Evacuation
Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump for 5 mm Hg and perform a vacuum test.
Note: The unit is pressurised with approximately 0.5 bar (g) nitrogen from factory. The nitrogen
will often be mixed with a minor amount of R717 vapour left from the factory test (absorbed in
oil). This should be taken into account when positioning the discharge from the vacuum pump.
Charge oil
Charge oil, if not charged from factory. The oil level should be visible in the middle of the upper
sight glass.
Note: ComPAC units can be charged with either S68 or PAO oils.
