6.1 Preparations for start-up
The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested. There are
therefore no special running-in instructions.
Checkthecompressorfortransportdamage!
INFO
Toprotectthecompressoragainstinadmissibleoperatingconditions,
high pressure and low pressure pressostats are mandatory on the
installation side.
6.2 Pressure strength test
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 Leaktest
Carry out the leak test of the refrigerating system in accordance with EN 378-2 or a corresponding
safety standard without including the compressor.
DANGER Riskofbursting!
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
notbeexceededatanytimeduringthetestingprocess(seename
platedata)! Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen as this
could cause the ignition limit to shift into the critical range.
DANGER Riskofbursting!
Do not mix any refrigerant with the nitrogen (N
