LIQUID LINE SIZES/RECEIVER VOLUME
Liquid line sizes and the additional receiver volume (quanti-
ty of refrigerant required for 5 minutes of liquid injection oil
cooling) can be found in CoolWare.
WATER-COOLED OIL COOLING (OPTION AL)
The watercooled oil cooler is mounted on the unit complete
with all oil piping. The customer must supply adequate water
connections. Determine the size of the watercooled oil
cooler supplied with the unit, as outlined on the Frick P&I
diagram and arrangement drawings. The water supply must
be sufcient to meet the required ow.
A closedloop system is recommended for the waterside of
the oil cooler. Careful attention to water treatment is es
sential to ensure adequate life of the cooler if cooling tower
water is used. It is imperative that the condition of cooling
water and closed-loop uids be analyzed regularly and
as necessary and maintained at a pH of 7.4, but not less
than 6.0 for proper heat exchanger life. After initial start
up of the compressor package, the strainer at the inlet of
the oil cooler should be cleaned several times in the rst 24
hours of operation.
In some applications, the plate and shell oil cooler may be
subjected to severe water conditions, including high tem
perature and/or hard water conditions. This causes acceler
ated scaling rates which will penalize the performance of the
heat exchanger. A chemical cleaning process will extend the
life of the PlateandShell heat exchanger. It is important to
establish regular cleaning schedules.
Cleaning a Plate-and-Shell Oil Cooler: A 3% solution of
Phosphoric or Oxalic Acid is recommended. Other cleaning
solutions can be obtained from your local distributor, but
they must be suitable for stainless steel. The oil cooler may
be cleaned in place by back ushing with recommended
solution for approximately 30 minutes. After back ushing,
rinse the heat exchanger with fresh water to remove any
remaining cleaning solution.

LIQUID INJECTION OIL COOLING (Optional)
The liquid injection system provided on the unit is self
contained but requires the connection of the liquid line sized
as per CoolWare.
It is IMPERATIVE that an uninterrupted supply of high pres
sure liquid refrigerant be provided to the injection system
at all times. Two items of EXTREME IMPOR TANCE are the
design of the receiver/liquid injection supply and the size of
the liquid line.
It is recommended that the receiver be oversized sufcient ly
to retain a preferential supply of refrig erant for oil cooling.
The evaporator supply must be secondary to this consider
ation. Two methods of accomplishing this are shown. For
large systems, a 5minute retention is used.
The dual dip tube method (Figure 11) uses two dip tubes in
the receiver. The liquid injection tube is below the evapor
ator tube to ensure continued oil cooling when the receiver
level is low.
Figure 11 - Dual Dip Tube
The level-control method (Figure 12) utilizes a level control
on the receiver to close a valve feeding the evaporator when
the liquid falls below that level. Liquid flows preferentially to
the liquid injection oil cooling circuit.
