*Note 2
Unless otherwise noted, the pressure unit MPa represents the gauge pressure in this manual.
*Note 1: For operations outside the normal operation ranges, consult our compressor manufacturing
division.
*Note 2: When performing a speed-increasing operation by inverter at 70 °C or above oil temperature,
contact our compressor manufacturing division to confirm the temperature on the mechanical
seal sliding surface.
*Note 3: Po = Oil supply pressure, Ps = Suction pressure
*Note 4: This value excludes the start-up of the compressor. Refer to Note 2 in the next section.
Repeated startup and stop in a short period is harmful not for the startup devices and
electric machinery but also for the compressor itself. For information on the start/stop
limitations, refer to each instruction manual.
Wait at least 15 minutes after stopping the compressor before restarting it.
