Low ambient operation
It is recommended that package oil separators be insu-
lated as a minimum requirement to preserve the heat
generated by the oil heaters, to prevent condensation and
secure lubrication at start-up.
Balance piston pressure regulator
for TDSH 355 compressors
A Balance Piston Pressure Regulator is required to reduce
the extended overbalance from the thrust balance piston
at part load.

High-stage SB-2 oil supply line diagram: Shows the three
additions described below arranged in parallel.
Pressure-regulating valve: Discharge pressure determines
compressor thrust balance. The proper setting for the
pressure-regulating valve is 50 psi below DISCHARGE pres-
sure. This pressure may vary based on operating conditions.
Solenoid valve: Energizing, or opening, the solenoid valve
pressurizes the balance piston with full oil pressure from the
oil manifold, bypassing the A4ALE Pressure Regulating Valve.
De-energizing, or closing, the solenoid valve pressurizes
the balance piston with oil pressure regulated by the A4ALE
Pressure Regulating Valve.
Signals from the control panel operate the solenoid valve
(output module 12 on Frick micro panel). The solenoid valve
should open when the slide valve position is 70% or greater,
and close when the slide valve position is 65% or less. These
may vary based on operating conditions.
