6.1 Preparations for start-up
6.4 Evacuation
First evacuate the
system and then include the compressor in the evacuation process.
 Relieve the compressor pressure.
 Open the suction and pressure line shut-off valves.
 Evacuate the suction and discharge pressure sides using the vacuum pump.
 At the end of the evacuation process, the vacuum should be < 1.5 mbar when the pump is switched off.
	 Repeat	this	process	as	often	as	is	required.
ATTENTION! Do not start the compressor if it is under vacuum. Do not apply
any voltage - even for test purposes (must only be operated with 
 refrigerant).
Under vacuum, the spark-over and creepage current distances of the
terminal board connection bolts shorten; this can result in winding and
terminal board damage.
INFO!
 In order to protect the compressor against inadmissible operating 
conditions,	high-pressure	and	low-pressure	pressostats	controls	are	
mandatory on the installation side.
The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested. There are 
therefore no special running-in instructions.
Check	the	compressor	for	transport	damage!
6.2 Pressure strength test
DANGER!
 Bursting! The compressor must only be pressurised using nitrogen 
(N
2
). Never pressurise with oxygen or other gases!
 The maximum permissible overpressure of the compressor must not 
be exceeded at any time during the testing process (see name plate 
data)! Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen as this could 
cause the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
The compressor has been factory-tested for pressure resistance. The following must be observed if 
the	entire	plant	is	subjected	to	an	additional	pressure	strength	test:
Test the refrigeration circuit according to EN 378-2 or a corresponding safety standard.
6.3 Leak test
DANGER! Bursting! 
 
Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen (N
2
) as this could cause
the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
Carry out the leak test of the refrigerating system in accordance with EN 378-2 or a corresponding
safety standard
without including the compressor.
