Emerson 3000/ITR manual Glycol Solution Maintenance

Component Operation and Maintenance

Three-phase power must be connected to the unit line voltage terminals in the proper sequence so that the scroll compressor rotates in the proper direction. Rotation in the wrong direction will result in poor performance and compressor damage.

Record compressor motor connections when removing a failed compressor. Wire the replacement compressor motor the same way to maintain proper rotation direction.

7.5.3Digital Scroll Compressor Replacement Procedure

1.Disconnect power and follow all warnings at front of this manual.

2.Attach suction and discharge gauges to access fittings.

3.Front-seat service valves to isolate the compressor. Reclaim charge from compressor.

4.Remove marked pressure transducer and discharge pressure switch. Disconnect all electrical connections.

5.Detach service valves from compressor.

6.Remove failed compressor.

7.If required, follow compressor manufacturer’s suggested clean-out procedures.

8.Install replacement compressor and make all connections. Replace gaskets or seals on service valves. Replace unloading solenoid.

9.Evacuate and charge as detailed in the user manual, SL-11962.

NOTICE

Risk of improper component reinstallation. Can cause equipment damage.

Identify and mark location of suction pressure transducer and discharge pressure switch. These devices look similar and they must be reinstalled in their original location.

Digital Compressor Unloading Solenoid(s)—Models 040, 042, 047, 049, 061 and 072

When replacing a digital scroll compressor, digital solenoid valve and coil must be replaced. Compres- sor and valve kit are shipped separately. Valve kit must be field-brazed to top of compressor in proper orientation and supported with original factory bracket.

7.6Facility Fluid and Piping Maintenance for Water and Glycol Systems

Facility water and glycol quality remain a requirement throughout the life of the piping system. Fluid and piping system maintenance schedules must be established and performed. A local fluid mainte- nance program must be established that will evaluate fluid chemistry and apply necessary treatment. A periodic leak inspection of facility and unit fluid piping is recommended.

Glycol Solution Maintenance

It is difficult to establish a specific schedule of inhibitor maintenance since the rate of inhibitor deple- tion depends upon local water conditions. Analysis of water samples at time of installation and every six months should help to establish a pattern of depletion. A visual inspection of the solution and fil- ter residue is often helpful in judging whether or not active corrosion is occurring.

The complexity of water caused problems and their correction makes it important to obtain the advice of a water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled maintenance program. It is impor- tant to note that improper use of water treatment chemicals can cause problems more serious than using none.

Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the glycol system. Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors. Do not mix products from dif- ferent manufacturers.
