7.4 Accessories
7.2	 Work	to	be	carried	out
In order to guarantee optimum operational reliability and service life of the compressor, 
we recommend
carrying out servicing and inspection work at regular intervals:
Oil change:
-
not mandatory for factory-produced series systems.
-
	for	field	installations	or	when	operating	near	the	application	limit:	for	the	first	time	after	100	
to 200 operating hours, then approx. every 3 years or 10,000 - 12,000 operating hours. 
Dispose of used oil according to the regulations; observe national regulations.
Annual	 checks: Oil level, leak tightness, running noises, pressures, temperatures, function of 
 auxiliary devices such as oil sump heater, pressure switch.
Only use genuine GEA Bock spare parts!
7.3 Spare part recommendation
7.5 Decommissioning
7| Maintenance
Close the shut-off valves on the compressor. CO
2
does not need to be recycled and can therefore
be blown off into the environment. It is essential to ensure good ventilation or conduct the CO
2
into
the outdoors to avoid danger of suffocation. When releasing CO
2
, avoid a fast drop in pressure to
prevent oil from exiting with it. If the compressor is unpressurized, remove the piping on the pressure- 
and suction-side (e.g. dismantling of the shut-off valve, etc.) and remove the compressor using an 
appropriate hoist. Dispose of the oil inside in accordance with the applicable national regulations.
When decommissioning the compressor (eg. for service or replacement of the compressor) larger 
amounts of CO
2
in the oil can be set free. If the decompression of the compressor is not sufficient
enough, closed shut-off valves may lead to intolerable excessive pressure. For this reason the 
suction side (LP) and the high pressure side (HP) of the compressor have to be secured by 
decompression valves.
