SGC ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSOR
INSTALLATION
HOLDING CHARGE AND STORAGE
SGC/SGX compressors are pressure and leak tested at the
Johnson Controls–Frick factory and then thoroughly evacu-
ated and charged with dry nitrogen to ensure integrity dur-
ing shipping and short term storage prior to installation.
All compressors must be kept in a clean, dry location to
prevent corrosion damage. Compressors that will be stored
for more than two months must have their nitrogen charge
checked periodically (see pages in GENERAL INFORMATION
for complete instructions).
WARNING
Holding-charge shipping gauges (if mounted) are rated
for 30 psig and are for checking the shipping charge
only. They must be removed before pressure testing
and operating the system. Failure to remove these
gauges may result in catastrophic failure of the gauge
resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
THIS EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN PRESSURIZED WITH
NITROGEN GAS. TEMPORARY VALVES & GAUGES
HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.
1. RELIEVE PRESSURE PRIOR TO OPENING LINES OR
MAKING FIELD CONNECTIONS.
2. REMOVE CHARGING VALVES OR GAUGES PRIOR
TO PRESSURIZING SYSTEM.
3. REFER TO INSTALLATION OPERATION AND MAIN-
TENANCE MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMA-
TION.
ESCAPING GAS MAY CAUSE INJURY
RIGGING AND HANDLING
The compressor can be moved with rigging, using a crane
or forklift, by hooking into the two lifting rings at each end
of the main housings. The compressor lifting rings shall only
be used to lift the compressor itself. See Figures 10 - 12.

Screw compressors are capable of converting large
quantities of shaft power into gas compression in a relatively
small space. The compression process creates relatively
highfrequencyvibrationsthatrequiresufcientmassinthe
base to effectively dampen them.
