1 SAFETY
1.1 REGULATIONS
Hint!
It is the task of the contractor (supplier) to inform and explain to youas user, about the operation of the compressor (Package).Do respect all international, federal, state and local safety regulations/legislations during inspection, trouble shooting and operating thiscompressor (package).
1.2 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Warning
All maintenance and repairs have to be carried out only by yourcontractor (supplier), except the maintenance as explicitly mentionedin this manual.Do not open the compressor for service.
Caution!
In compliance with the regulations of the Pressure EquipmentDirective it is mandatory that no changes be made to the constructionof pressurised parts such as the crankcase housing, suction filterhousing, oil separator(s), etc.After having run the initial 100 operating hours,it is essential (in bothnew and modified plants) to replace the running-in filter element withthe permanent filter element supplied. This operation is only to becarried out by well-trained and qualified personnel. Consult yoursupplier to carry out this service.This manual includes a check list for daily, weekly and monthlyinspections. Temperatures and pressures need to be checked atseveral point (eg setting of all pressure safety switches). In case thismanual does not give these values then your contractor (supplier)should instruct you with regard to their correct setiings. Whenreference is made to the plant manual, your contractor (supplier)should take care that your are instructed in being able to undertakeproper inspections and trouble shooting.
Hint!
In case of shut downs longer than 1 month, it is advisable to putwarning labels on vital parts of the compressor saying that the plant isout-of-operation and must not be started up. Consult your contractor(supplier).
1.3 REFRIGERANT
SAFETYREGULATIONS
0089292gbr_3 20.03.2017 7
The compressor/package must be filled with “REFRIGERANT“, to be able tooperate.
Warning
For safety instructions in relation to the refrigerant used in thisrefrigeration plant, refer to separate information, to be supplied byyour contractor (supplier).
1.4 OIL
The compressor/package must be filled with oil, to be able to operate.
Warning
For safety instructions in relation to the oil used in this refrigerationplant, refer to separate information, to be supplied by your contractor(supplier).
1.5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PRESSURE EQUIPMENT
Hint!
For pressure equipment (oil separator OS, housing suction gasstrainer, Economizer ICH, compressor package) manufactured byGrasso according to the European Parliament"s and the EuropeanCouncil"s Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EG of 29 May 1997
General
The following operating instructions according to the European PressureEquipment Directive No. 97/23/EG (subsequently referred to as PED) describehow to handle the pressure equipment for finishing and installation.The pressure equipment is intended for installation in compressor packages orrefrigeration plants and can be equipped with specific accessories duringinstallation by the customer.The pressure equipment has been manufactured according to the requirementsof the PED. Its design meets the requirements of the AD2000 regulations.If applicable the finisher/installer (at installation in compressor package orrefrigeration plants and equipping ready for operation) is obliged to prepare hisown risk analysis and operating manual according to the European PressureEquipment Directive 97/23/EG.
The type plates for identification of the pressure equipment looks like this:

Fig.1: Example type plate economizer ICH, compressor, package
Fig.2: Example Type plate oil separator
If the type plate is covered by finishing/installation, make sure that the informationcan be seen by the end user on another location on the pressure equipment.Incase of queries regarding the operating instructions, please contact Grasso.
1.5.1 Intended UseThe pressure equipment described here may not be used for any other than thestated purpose. The equipment may only be installed by the finisher/installer andnot by the end user.If the pressure equipment is not used according to these regulations, safeoperation of the equipment is not guaranteed.The finisher/installer or the operator and not the manufacturer is responsible forall personal injury and damage to property resulting from unintended use.When not installed by Grasso the finisher/installer has to properly installaccessories for the pressure equipment. The pressure equipment may not bedamaged during installation and it shall be painted after installation.The pressure equipment may only be filled with refrigerant of refrigerant groupsL1 and L2, substance groups 1 and 2. The pressure equipment has to beinstalled in the compressor package or plant so that no vibrations or pulsationscan be transmitted to the equipment.The connecting lines have to be installed tobe tension free. The pressure equipment is not designed for dynamic
SAFETYOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PRESSURE EQUIPMENT

loads.Where there is a risk of lightning strikes, the pressure equipment must beearthed. The finisher/installer has to include instructions for regular inspection ofthe pressure equipment in his instruction manual and has to define the enduser"s behaviour in case of damage.To avoid burns or frostbite, the pressure vessel may not be touched in theoperating state. This can be achieved by means of contact guards. Installappropriate warning signs.
Caution!
Optionally supplied safety valves are only intended for the protectionof the oil separator against excessive presssure caused by an externalheat source during standstill. This device may not be used for theprotection of the complete refrigeration system. (The finisher/installerhas to equip the installation with a safety valve acc. EN 378)
The oil separator may only be installed vertically. The foundation has to be ofsufficient stiffness.
1.5.2 Safety Notes and WarningsVisually inspect the pressure equipment with the naked eye for corrosion, scoringand similar damage.Check the equipment for shape consistency of the connection areas. In particularcheck and assess the sealing surfaces for possible damage such as scratches,scoring or similar.Keep corrosive substances such as acids away from the oil separator.Wall thicknesses may be no more than 1 mm less than those given in thedrawing.Drain or suck off the medium (refrigerant/oil) prior to service and repair. Thesetasks may only be carried out by trained professionals and in compliance with theappropriate safety regulations, see standard EN 378.Carry out a detailed check of the previous operating history, when an oilseparator that has already been in service is newly finished, installed andequipped. This includes visual inspection (as described above for the new part).For recurring tests please refer to EN 378 T1 to T4 and local regulations.
1.5.3 Transport and StorageTransport and store the oil separator in a dry environment. Ensure that the oilseparator is not subject to damage relevant to its further use.In case of transport damage notify Grasso immediately.
1.5.4 Finishing and InstallationDesign details can be seen in drawings at Grasso.Compare the identification (type plate) with the documentation included in thedelivery before finishing, installing and equipping the oil separator. Mark the oilseparator with the note "Do not use" until the issue has been resolved withGrasso or an authorised third party (named authority according to the PED).
