3.4.10.2Inspection
a) Inspect the rotor journals for damage.
The shaft seal and bearing mounting portions must be inspected.
b) Inspect the rotor lobes, especially the edges, for damage or abnormal wear. If the compressor
has been operating normally, there should be no damage found. If, however, scoring or
scratches, etc. are found, it points to a problem with the suction strainer as such damage can
only be made by foreign matter entering the system.
