KC10.2) : Run the compressor on direct cylinder to achieve room temperature minus 10° C & then
load CCSV.

WARNING : Intermediate pressure should not go above 4 Kg/cm g as this will cause high
pressure/high discharge temp. (above 100°C) & may damage compressor (refer manual) - page
19, 5.4.
MAINTENANCE (COMPULSORY) : After commissioning change/check oil, oil filters and gas-
strainer after initial 4,8,50 & 100 hrs of running of compressor. This should be continued till oil in the
