Permitted Applications for Sabroe Compressors<\/strong><\/h2>

Using a Sabroe compressor outside its intended design may result in operator injuries and technical damage to the system. The compressor must only be used for the following purposes. In addition, before carrying out any service work, please read the Ammonia First Aid<\/em> guidelines.<\/p>

  • As a refrigeration compressor, operated only within the permissible RPM limits specified in Sabroe Refrigeration references.<\/li>
  • SMC 100 and TSMC 100 compressors with code S<\/strong> and L<\/strong> are designed exclusively for use with refrigerants R717, R22, R134a, R407C, R404A, and R507<\/strong>.<\/li>
  • SMC 100 and TSMC 100 compressors with code E<\/strong> are designed exclusively for use with refrigerant R717 (Ammonia)<\/strong>.<\/li>
  • SMC 100 and TSMC 100 compressors with codes S, L, and E<\/strong> must only operate at a maximum design discharge pressure of 25 bar (375 psi)<\/strong>.<\/li>
  • The compressor must not<\/strong> be used for evacuating air or moisture from a refrigeration system.<\/li>
  • The compressor must not<\/strong> be used for pressure testing of a refrigeration system.<\/li>
  • The compressor must not<\/strong> be used as an air compressor.<\/li><\/ul>

    Service and Maintenance of Sabroe Compressor Units<\/strong><\/h2>

    Daily Service of Sabroe Compressors<\/strong><\/h3>

    Daily service mainly consists of visual inspection. Once you are familiar with the normal sounds and vibrations of the unit, compare its daily performance with previous observations. Match the operating data and compressor performance diagrams for consistency.<\/p>

    • Inspect the compressor unit and ensure noise and vibration levels are within normal limits.<\/li>
    • Record all operating values in a logbook. Compare daily readings with the previous day to identify any trends. If necessary, create a report for closer analysis.<\/li>
    • Check the oil level in the oil separator (for screw compressors).<\/li>
    • Check the oil level in the compressor (for reciprocating compressors).<\/li>
    • Measure and record the oil pressure.<\/li>
    • Check the refrigerant charge.<\/li>
    • Inspect for leaks and eliminate them if found. Leaks may involve oil, refrigerant, cooling water, or brine circuits.<\/li><\/ul>

      Warning<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

      Daily operation and routine maintenance are normally performed by operators. Any additional servicing that requires system analysis and refrigeration engineering must only be carried out by authorized personnel.<\/p>

      Periodic Service of Sabroe Compressors<\/strong><\/h3>

      Lubrication of the motor and other routine maintenance tasks are typically scheduled based on operating hours, although they may be required earlier if necessary.<\/p>

      Overhaul and Major Service of Sabroe Compressors<\/strong><\/h3>

      For major overhauls and complete rebuilds of Sabroe compressors, the standard procedure is to contact the compressor supplier.<\/p>

      Use of the Sabroe Compressor Troubleshooting Table<\/strong><\/h3>

      In the table below, each possible fault is listed with a brief fault description in the \u201cFault Description\u201d column, the code for the possible cause in the \u201cCause Code\u201d column, and the fault code in the \u201cFault Code\u201d column.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
