8.7 Avoidingslugging
Topreventslugging:
The complete refrigeration system must be properly designed.
All components must be compatibly rated with each other with regard to output
(particularly the evaporator and expansion valves).
Suction gas superheat at the compressor input shouldbemin.7-10K. (check the setting
of the expansion valve). For HC and LG compressors see chapter 5.3.

Particularly in critical systems (e.g. several evaporator points), measures are recommended such

9.2 Worktobecarriedout
In order to guarantee optimum operational reliability and service life of the compressor, we
recommendcarrying out servicing and inspection work at regular intervals:
Oilchange:
- not mandatory for factory-produced series systems.
- foreldinstallationsorwhenoperatingneartheapplicationlimit:forthersttimeafter100
to 200 operating hours, then approx. every 3 years or 10,000 - 12,000 operating hours.
Dispose of used oil according to the regulations; observe national regulations.
Annual checks: Oil level, leak tightness, running noises, pressures, temperatures, function of
auxiliary devices such as oil sump heater, pressure switch.
