Note 1: Unless otherwise noted, the pressure unit MPa represents the gauge pressure in this manual.
Note 2: When it is required that pressure difference between Pd and Ps should be not greater than
0.49 MPa, oil pump needs to be installed.
If a combination of "NH
3
+ compatible oil (PN46)" is used for working fluid (refrigerant) and
lubricating oil, oil pump must be installed.
If operation at partial load, which is not greater than 30% of the indicated load, is
continued for a long time except when starting up the machine, abnormal noises
or vibration may be generated. So avoid such operation.
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.
