ATTENTION ToavoidliquidshocksontheHPstage,theexpansionvalvemay
only be opened approx. 15-20 seconds after the compressor is
switched on (full load operation).
At compressor shut-down:
Close the solenoid valve approx. 15 - 20 seconds before the com-
pressor is switched off.
7.7 Avoiding slugging
To prevent slugging:
The complete refrigeration system must be properly designed.
All components must be compatibly rated with each other with regard to output
(particularlytheevaporatorandexpansionvalves).
Suction gas superheat at the compressor input should be min. 7 - 10 K.(checkthesetting
oftheexpansionvalve).
Thesystemmustreachastateofequilibrium.
When selecting the evaporator expansion valve, pay attention to correction factors for liquid
subcooling. Avoid transfer of refrigerant into the compressor when the system is at a
standstill.

ATTENTION Slugging can damage the compressor and cause refrigerant to
leak.
