HANBELL screw compressors feature simple and robust construction by elimination of some components such as
pistons, piston rings, valve plates, oil pumps which are found in reciprocating compressors. Without these components,
screw compressors run with low noise level, minimized vibration, high reliability and durability. HANBELL screw
compressors are of two-shaft rotary displacement design with the latest and advanced 5:6 patented screw rotors.
Screw rotors are precisely installed with roller bearings, i.e. radial bearings at both suction and discharge ends as well
as angular contact ball bearings i.e. axial bearings at discharge end. A three-phase, two-pole squirrel-cage induction
motor drives the compressor. The motor rotor is located on the shaft of the male screw rotor. Cooling of the motor is
achieved with suction refrigerant vapor.
Full product range- RC2 series compressor consists of 26 models with displacement ranging from 98/118 m3/hr up to
1523/1828 m3/hr (50/60Hz) compatible for different refrigerants and applications.
Multinational patents of high-efficiency screw rotors- The new 5:6 high efficiency screw rotor profile is patented in
Taiwan, UK, US, and China. This new large-volume, high-efficiency rotor profile is designed especially for modern
refrigerant characteristics. High-efficiency screw rotors are accomplished by using precision CNC machining centers,
rotor milling machines, rotor grinding machines. Strict ISO 9001 process controlling and the application of precise
5
inspection equipments, such as ZEISS 3D coordinate measuring machines, ensure high-efficiency, high-quality, low-
noise and low-vibration HANBELL RC2 series screw compressors.
High efficiency motor- Premium grade low-loss core steel with special motor cooling slot and refrigerant guide vane
which pilot the cold suction refrigerant gas through the motor provides the highest operating efficiency possible no
matter how strict operating conditions are.
Long life bearings and high reliability- The screw compressors utilize a combination of 11 axial and radial bearings
and α axial balance piston to ensure longer bearing life and higher compressor reliability.
Double-walled rotor housing- Double casing structure with high strength inner ribs has been designed to minimize
noise and ensure rigidity. The rotor housing is made of high-strength gray cast iron FC25 that is extremely stable,
therefore no expansion will occur even at high-pressure condition. These casings are machined by computer aided
machining centers and inspected by precision measuring machines to enhance reliability.
Direct flange-on oil separator- A vessel made of ductile material FC 500 specially designed to withstand high
pressure and provide the highest efficiency of oil separation. Simple oil management, three-staged oil separator, low-
pressure-drop demister to ensure the minimum refrigerant dilution in the oil and maintain high oil viscosity.
Precise capacity control- The slide valve for capacity control is located in the compressor chamber. The slide valve is
actuated by injection of pressurized oil into the cylinder from the oil sump as well as bypass of oil through solenoid
valves in each oil lines with pressure differential.
Perceptive protection modules- RC2 series screw compressors are equipped with PTC thermistors and motor
protection module which could monitor discharge and motor coil temperatures as well as phase sequence and phase
loss. Accessories also include oil level switch to monitor the level of oil, pressure differential switch, and pressure relief
valve for optional application.
Adaptable with additional cooling- Liquid injection connection port located at the motor casing and in the
compression chamber, oil cooler connection port, and middle pressure economizer connection port for customer’s
desired application.
RC2 series compressors not only continue RC series compressors’ characteristics of high efficiency & reliability design
mentioned above, but are also designed with the following newly added advantages to meet customers’ needs more
adequately:
1. Design the fittest high-efficiency motor for respective refrigerant, operation condition and electrical power.
2. Based on frames of RC series compressors, add 10 models by increasing suction volume of screw rotors (20%
more than that of the original RC series model) to provide wider cost-effective election.
3. Dual capacity control of steps or continuous create more accurate and reliable mechanism (Option)
4. Economizer operation with floating ECO port can be effective under partial load and full load.
Detailed description of every new design features is given in the following chapters.
As shown in Figure 6 below, during the rotation of the rotors, the meshing shifts from the suction side to the discharge
side. The meshing rotors enclose a working space, which is continuously reduced as it moves in the axial direction.
This causes a V-shaped lobe space between each male and female lobes. This lobe space is maximum at suction and
sealing process. As the rotors rotate further, the new meshing at the suction side closes the V-shaped lobe space. The
lobe space is then constantly reduced by continuous intermeshing of the lobes (compression process).
A reduction in lobe space takes places during its movement from the suction side of the rotors towards the discharge
side. The volume is steadily reduced and it is thereby compressed in the sealed condition. As soon as the peaks of the
rotor teeth are free to the outlet port, compressed vapor is discharged to the high-pressure side and flows to the oil
separator where the high-pressured gas is separated from lubrication oil. The size and geometry of the outlet port
determine the so-called “internal volume ratio (Vi)” of the compressor. This ratio must have a defined relationship with
operating pressure ratio to avoid losses in efficiency due to under or over compression.
6
2.6 Capacity control system
The RC2 series screw compressors are equipped with either 3-step/4-step capacity control system or continuous (step-
less) capacity control system. Both of the capacity control systems consist of a modulation slide valve, piston rod,
cylinder, piston and piston rings. The slide valve and the piston are connected by a piston rod. The principle of
operation is using the oil pressure to drive the piston in the cylinder. See Figure 7, the lubrication oil flows from the oil
sump through the oil filter cartridge and capillary then fills into the cylinder due to the positive oil pressure bigger than
the right side of spring force plus the high pressure gas. The positive pressure differential causes the piston to move
toward the right side in the cylinder. When the slide valve moves toward the right side, the effective compression
volume in the compression chamber increases. This means the displacement of refrigerant gas also increases, as a
result the refrigeration capacity also increases. However, when any of the step solenoid valve (for 3-step/4-step
capacity control system) is opened, the high pressure oil in the cylinder bypasses to the suction port, which causes the
piston and the slide valve to move toward the left side, and then some of the refrigerant gas bypasses from the
compression chamber back to the suction end. As a result, the refrigeration capacity decreases because of the
reduction of displacement of refrigerant gas flowing in the system.
The piston spring is used to push the piston back to its original position, i.e. minimum load position in order to reduce
the starting current for the next starting. If the compressor started at full load capacity it may result in over current start.
The capillary is used to maintain and restrain a suitable amount of oil flow into the cylinder. The modulation (stepless)
solenoid valves (SV1 and SV2) are controlled by a micro controller or temperature switch to modulate the piston
position smoothly with stable output of capacity.
If the oil filter cartridge, capillary, or modulation solenoid valves are not working well in the capacity control system, this
may result in the abnormality and ineffectiveness of the capacity control system. Before stopping the compressor,
HANBELL strongly recommends that the unloading solenoid valve of stepless control system or minimum
load solenoid valve of 3/4-step control system should be kept opened for 60~90 seconds so that oil pressure
in the cylinder could be released. When starting the compressor again, it is in unloading position for light duty
start.
There are two (For RC2-100, RC2-140, RC2-180) or three (for the rest 23 models) solenoid valves equipped on the
compressor that control the compressor capacity from minimum capacity (please refer to chapter 2.2 for different
minimum capacity of each model) to full load (100%). There are two / three normally closed (NC) solenoid valves that
are used to control the various required capacity. For the compressor with 3-step / 4-step capacity control system, it is
usual to use the sequence of min.%-66%-100% / min.%-50%-75%-100% to load the capacity of compressor and to use
the sequence of 100%-66%-min.%/100%-75%-50%-min% to unload the capacity. If min% capacity is kept for a long
time, the problem of oil return, motor cooling, high discharge temperature should be solved by adding accessories such
as oil level switch for monitoring the oil level, liquid injection devices for cooling motor coil and reducing discharge
temperature.(Figure 8). Min% is recommended for start and stop only, not for long-termed operation.
Note: For 3-step or 4-step capacity control system, Hanbell equips normally-closed (NC) solenoid valves as standard
accessory. If normally-opened (NO) solenoid valves are preferred instead, please specify it to Hanbell when placing
order.
SV 50% OFF
a. min% capacity
When starting the compressor, SV25%/33% solenoid valve is SV75% OFF
energized and the piston is in min% capacity position, so even the oil
coming from the oil sump is continuously injecting into the cylinder thru
the capillary, the high-pressured oil in the cylinder bypasses directly
into the suction port, so the piston is held in its initial position.

c. 75%/66% capacity
When SV75%/66% solenoid valve is energized, SV50% solenoid valve
will be de-energized simultaneously, the high pressure oil will push the
piston towards the position where a hole at exactly 75%/66% position SV75%/66% ON
drains the oil back to the suction port and the piston will be held on that
position.

In continuous (stepless) capacity control system, solenoid valve SV2 (for loading) and solenoid valve SV1 (for
unloading) are equipped to inlet and outlet of piston cylinder respectively. These two solenoid valves are controlled by
chiller temperature controller or micro controller so refrigeration capacity hence can be modulated anywhere within
min% ~ 100%. Min% is recommended for start and stop only, not for long-termed operation.
It is very important for any controller to control loading and unloading in stable condition. For a smooth modulation,
HANBELL installs a capillary in loading oil line and an additional orifice valve in unloading oil line to avoid too fast
loading and unloading.

The volume ratio (Vi) of the compressor can be defined as the ratio of suction volume to discharge volume in the
compressor. The smaller the concavity of slide valve in the discharge end, the larger the volume ratio. The volume ratio
directly affects the internal compression ratio (Pi). Low Vi corresponds to low Pi and high Vi corresponds to high Pi. In
the equation below, in order to prevent over or under compression, the system compression ratio (CR) should be equal
to compressor’s internal compression ratio (Pi). Please refer to P-V (pressure – volume) diagram below to figure out
this relation.

Application limits of the compressor vary significantly with the type of refrigerant used. The operating limits shown
below are based on saturated suction and discharge operating conditions, for continuous operation over extended
periods of time. It is important to operate within these limits to maintain proper compressor life. Operating at extra low
saturated suction temperature, may cause oil management and motor cooling problems, and operating at extra high
saturated condensing temperature will shorten the compressor life due to insufficient motor and compressor chamber
cooling.
12
b. Application limits of of RC2-1090~RC2-1520 are described on the respective refrigerant charts.
Note:
1. When Hanbell screw compressor operate in partial or full load within limits, temperature of motor coil and discharge
will rise concurrently. In order to keep compressor safely running continuously , Hanbell recommend usage of the
following additional cooling devices :
(1) Oil cooler or (2) Liquid injection for chamber or (3) Liquid injection for motor.
Please refer to Hanbell selection software for application of additional cooling system.
Hanbell recommends monitoring oil pressure differential and keep it 4 kg/cm2G over the suction pressure for
adequate seal, lubrication and capacity control by pressure differential switch passively or by additional oil pump
actively. Especially under operation conditions with low condensing temperature and high evaporating temperature
like application in flooder water-cooled chillers, high-low pressure differential tends to be less than 4kg/cm2G,
installation of oil pump is recommended to ensure regular oil pressure.
Contact with Hanbell to verify potential operating conditions outside the limits shown.
2. Except RC2-1090, RC2-1280 & RC2-1520 cool motor coils by liquid refrigerant directly, other models cool motor
coils by refrigerant returned from evaporator. If compressors run continuously at partial load below 50%, failure of
motor coils might happen due to insufficient cooling. Therefore, Hanbell emphasizes installation of liquid injection
system to motor to make sure adequate cooling of motor coils for safe running of compressors. According to
EN12900, suction superheat is 10°k and liquid sub-cooling is 0°k.
3. The minimum discharge superheat is recommended to be kept 10°k higher than the condensing temperature
( normally discharge superheat is around 20°K for R134a and 30°K for R22, R407C) to avoid liquid filling back to
compressor and lubrication failure.

3. Lubricants
The main functions of lubrication oil in screw compressors are lubrication, internal sealing, cooling and capacity control.
Positive oil pressure in the cylinder pushes the piston together with the slide valve that is connected by a piston rod to
move forward and backward in the compression chamber. The design of positive pressure differential lubrication
system makes RC2 series normally omit an extra oil pump which is necessary for reciprocating compressors. However,
in some special applications, it is still necessary to install an extra oil pump to screw compressors for safety.
Bearings used in RC2 series compressors require a small and steady quantity of oil for lubrication. Oil injection into the
compression chamber creates a film of oil for sealing in the compression housing to increase efficiency and also can
dissipate part of compression heat. In order to separate oil from refrigerant gas, an external oil separator is required to
ensure the least amount of oil carried into the system.
Please pay more attention to the oil temperature, which is crucial to compressor bearings’ life. Oil has a much lower
viscosity at high temperatures. Too low viscosity of oil will result in poor lubrication and heat dissipation in the
compressor. Viscosity is recommended to keep over 10mm2/s at any temperatures for oil. Oil temperature in the oil
sump should be kept above the saturated condensing temperature to prevent refrigerant migration into lubrication
system. Oil has a higher viscosity in low ambient temperature circumstances. When viscosity is too high, slow flow
speed of oil into the cylinder may result in too slow loading of the compressor. To solve this problem, use of oil heaters
can warm up oil before start.
If the compressor operates under critical operating conditions, an extra oil cooler is required – please refer to Hanbell
selection software for the required capacity and oil flow of the extra oil cooler. High-viscosity oil is recommended to
apply in high operating conditions because high discharge temperature swill make viscosity of oil lower. Oil return from
the evaporator may be insufficient in such as refrigeration systems, flooded chillers…etc. , in which it’s difficult for oil to
be carried back and it may cause oil loss in the compressor. If the system encounters the oil return problem then an
extra 2nd oil separator is recommended to be installed between the compressor discharge tube and condenser.
Each of HANBELL RC2-230 ~ RC2-930 compressors is equipped with two oil sight glasses as a standard (the second
sight glass is optional for the models RC2-100 ~ RC2-200), one is the high-level sight glass, and the other is the low-
level sight glass (RC2-230~RC2-510 and RC2-580) or internal oil line sight glass (RC2-550 & RC2-610~RC2-930). The
function of internal oil line sight glass is to monitor lubricant flow to capacity control system and bearings. While reverse
running, it is unable to see the oil flow via sight glass. The normal oil level in the compressor oil sump should be
maintained above the top of the low-level sight glass and in the middle level of high-level sight glass when compressor
is running. It is strongly recommended to install the optional accessory of oil level switch to prevent compressor’s
failure from too low oil level.

3.2 Pre-cautions of changing oil
1. Use only qualified oil and do not mix different brands of oil together. Choice of oil should match characteristics of the
refrigerant used. Some types of synthetic oil is incompatible with mineral oil. Oil remained in the compressor should be
totally cleaned up in the system before charging different brands of oil. Charge the compressor with oil for the first start
and then change it into new oil again to ensure that there’s no mix at all.
2.When using polyester oil for chiller systems, please make sure not to expose oil to the atmosphere for prevention
of change in its property. Therefore, it is necessary to vacuum the system completely when installing the compressor.
3. In order to ensure no moisture inside the system, it is suggested to clean the system by charging it with dry Nitrogen
and then vacuum it repeatedly as long as possible.
4. It is a must to change oil especially if the motor has burned out because acid debris may still remain inside the
system. Please follow the procedures mentioned above to change oil in the system. Check acidity of oil after 72 hours
of operation and then change it again until acidity of oil becomes normal.
5. Please contact Hanbell local distributors/agents for choices of oil to be used.
1. Change oil periodically: Check lubrication oil every 10,000 hours of continuous running. For the first operation of the
compressor, it is recommended to change the oil and clean the external oil filter after running 2,000 hours. Check the
system whether clean or not and then change oil every 20,000 hours or after 3 years’ continuous running while the
system operates in good condition.
2. Avoid clogging in oil filter with debris or swarf which may caused bearings’ failure. An optional oil pressure
differential switch is recommended to be installed. The switch will trip when the oil pressure differential between the
primary and secondary sides reaches the critical point and then the compressor will automatically shut down to prevent
the bearings from damage due to oil loss.
Each HANBELL screw compressor has been carefully tested at the factory and every precautionary measures have
been taken to make sure that compressors will keep in perfect condition when reach customers’ work. After the
compressor arrives at your warehouse, please check if its crate is kept in good condition and check all the compressor
accessories with shipping documents to see if there is any discrepancy.
When lifting the compressor, it is recommended to use a steel chain or steel cable which can be used for loading
capacity of 2000kgf as shown in the figure below. Make sure that chains, cables or other lifting equipments are
properly positioned to protect the compressor and its accessories from damaging. Keep the compressor in horizontal
position when lifting, and prevent it from crashing or falling on the ground, hitting the wall or any other accident that
may damage it or its accessories.

4.2 Mounting the compressor
The installation of the compressor in the refrigeration system should be made accessible and make sure that the chiller
base or site are far enough from the heat source to prevent heat radiation. The compressor should also be installed as
close as possible to the electrical power supply for easier connection and must keep good ventilation and low humidity
condition in the site. Make sure that the frame or supporter is strong enough to prevent excessive vibration and noise
while the compressor is running and must reserve enough space for compressors’ future overhauling work.
The compressor must be installed horizontally and in order to prevent excessive vibration transferred by the structure
and piping of the chiller while in operation, the cushion or anti-vibration pad should be installed. The installation of the
16
anti-vibration pad is shown in Figure 23. The screws should only be tightened until slight deformation of the rubber pad
is visible.
※It is strongly recommended to position the compressor higher than the evaporator
The unsuitable piping works done to the compressor could cause abnormal vibration and noise that might damage the
compressor. Take notice of the following pointers to prevent this situation from happening:
1. Cleanliness of the system should be kept after welding the piping to avoid any swarf or debris contained inside the
system as it may cause serious damage to the compressor during operation.
2. In order to reduce the vibration on the piping tubes, it is recommended to use copper tube to be the suction and
discharge piping tubes. Copper tubes are better to minimize the vibration in the piping while the compressor is in
operation. In case steel tubes are to be used in piping system, then the suitable welding works are very important to
avoid any stress in the piping. This inner stress can cause harmonic vibration and noise that can reduce the life of the
compressor. If a large-caliber copper tube is not easily accessible and a steel tube is used instead in suction port,
Hanbell also recommends the use of a copper tube in discharge port to best minimize abnormal vibration and noise.
3. Remove the oxidized impurities, swarf or debris caused by welding in the piping tubes, if these fall into the
compressor the oil filter might be clogged resulting in the malfunctioning of lubrication system, bearings and capacity
control system.
4. The material of suction and discharge flanges is forged steel and it can be welded directly with piping connectors.
After welding the flanges and pipes, it must be cooled down by ambient air. Do not use water to cool it down because
water quenching is prohibited.
Figure 24 shows a 15° limit of oblique angle for installation of compressor. In case the oblique angle is higher than the
limit, compressor will be shut down easily. For special applications like the installation in ships, fishing boats, etc…,
where the oblique angle might exceed the limit, external oil separators, oil tanks and related accessories are
recommended to be installed. Please contact HANBELL or local distributors for further layout recommendation.

Other major functional descriptions are as follow:
1. After the supply voltage has been connected, a three second initialisation period follows. Provided the PTC chain
resistance is below the reset threshold (2.75kΩ), the relay trips after these 3 seconds have expired.
2. 1 to 9 PTC thermistors with different nominal response termperature may be connected serially to the PTC input.
3. If any thermistor resistance increases above trip level the relay drops out. This failure results in a lockout. (5 minutes
delay for 1st PTC failure, 60 minutes delay for 2nd failure, lockout for 3rd failure.)
4. If a rapid temperature increase is detected (locked rotor condition), the output relay drops out. This failure results in
a lockout.
5. The phase monitoring of the three phase motor voltage becomes active 1 second after motor has started, for
duration of 10 seconds. In case of a wrong phase sequence or a phase failure, the relay switches of and locks.
6. The Lock-out and delay time may be lifted by cycling the power off for approx. 5 seconds.
7. To avoid nuisance tripping due to reverse running after shutdown (pressure equalization), the phase monitoring
function is only re-enabled approx. 20 seconds after motor stop.
8. A dual LED (red / green) provides additional information about the motor protector and compressor status.
9. The relay is fed out as a N/O dry contact, which is closed under good conditions.
10. Sensor and supply circuits are galvanic isolated.
11. The motor protector is not suitable for use with frequency converters.

h. Oil level switch
There are 3 wires in oil level switch, 2 wires for the interlock to main control circuit or any micro controller’s
independent circuit, and one wire with green color for grounding. To prevent from oil level switch trip caused by oil
foaming or surging in the sump, a time delay around 60 ~ 90 seconds is recommended before shut down the
compressor.

5. Electrical data and design
5.1 Motor design
HANBELL RC2 series screw compressors are fitted with Y-Δ motor as standard. But Δ/ΔΔ motor (Part Winding
Starting – PWS) is also available for model RC2-100A ~ RC2-580A & RC2-100B ~ RC2-410B.
i.e. ●RC2-100A ~ RC2-580A & RC2-100B ~ RC2-410B both Y-Δ motor and Δ/ΔΔ motor are available.
●RC2-610A ~ RC2-1520A & RC2-470B ~ RC2-1520B only Y-Δ motor are available.
Y-Δ Starting
Y-Δ motor connects motor coil by Y connection during starting therefore reducing voltage on coils to 1/√3 of input
voltage and reconnects motor coil by △ connection after starting. By doing so, we can decrease starting current
thorough voltage drop, i.e., so-called voltage-drop starting.
Y-Δ motor connection method is shown in the following motor wiring diagram:
In Y connection, MCM, MCS are inductive while motor leads Z,X,Y are tied together as a neutral connecting as Y
fashion. A few seconds later (3~5 sec is recommended), MCM, MCS become deductive. Around 0.25 sec later,
MCM,MCD are inductive, it turns out △ run connection.

chamber.
Note: when any protection device trips, please do troubleshooting and reset manually. Do not let the compressor reset
automatically after abnormal trip!
Note that in the region where the electricity power is unstable, install an additional hi-low voltage protector with ± 5%
tolerance of normal voltage to ensure safe operating of the compressor.
2. Unbalanced voltages :
Unbalanced voltages usually occur because of variations in the load. When the load on one or more of the phases is
different than the other(s), unbalanced voltages will appear. This can be due to different impedances, or type and value
of loading in each phase. Unbalanced voltages can cause serious problems, particularly to the motor.
NEMA defines voltage unbalance as follows :
(maximum voltage deviation from average voltage)
Percent voltage unbalance = 100 x (average voltage)
NEMA states that poly-phase motors shall operate successfully under running conditions at rated load when voltage
unbalance at the motor terminals does not exceed 1%. Furthermore, operation of a motor with over 5% unbalance is
not recommended for it probably results in motor damage.
Unbalanced voltages at motor terminals cause phase current unbalance ranging from 6 to 10 times the percent of
voltage unbalance for a fully loaded motor. This causes motor over current resulting in excessive heat that shortens
motor life, and hence, eventual motor burnout. If the voltage unbalance is great enough, the reduced torque capability
might not be adequate for the application and the motor will not attain rated speed.
Some of the more common causes of unbalance voltages are :
●Unbalanced incoming utility supply ●Unequal transformer tap settings
●Faults or grounds in power transformer ●Open delta connected transformer banks
●Large single phase distribution transformer in the system ●Heavy reactive single phase loads such as welders
●Open phase on the primary 3-phase transformer in the distribution system
●Blow fuse on 3 phase bank of power factor improvement capacitors
●Unequal impedance in conductors of power supply wiring
●Unbalanced distribution of single phase loads such as lighting
A 3-phase unbalanced voltages protector is upon request as optional accessory. Please contact Hanbell for more
details.

b. In order to keep the capacity control smoothly under the low ambient temperature with the normal viscosity of oil, oil
heater should be kept energizing after compressor has been shut down for preparation for the next start-up.
c. Check that all the settings on each pressure switch are correct.
d. Check if all the stop valves in the system are already open.
e. Check the rotating direction of the compressor by starting the compressor for a split second (approx. 0.5…1 sec.)
and check the suction and discharge pressure gauges. The correct rotating direction is: suction pressure drops
immediately and the discharge pressure will go up.
f. Compressor’s lubrication oil should be checked immediately after starting. Oil level should be within sight glass range
or higher than the middle line of oil level sight glass.
g. Oil foaming can be generated during starting phase, but it should reduce when the compressor is under stable
operating conditions. Otherwise this can indicate excessive liquid in the suction gas.
h. The running condition of compressor after commissioning at the job-site should be adjusted as; the discharge
temperature will be at least 20K above the saturated condensing temperature and the suction vapor superheat should
be within 10K to the saturated evaporating temperature.
i. The whole plant, especially the pipelines and capillary tubes must be checked for abnormal vibrations. Please contact
HANBELL or local distributor if any abnormal vibrations or noise found while compressor is running.
j. Regularly check the plant according to national regulations and the following items should also be checked:
●Operating data of the machine
●Check the lubrication/ oil level
●All compressor protection devices
●Check electrical cable connections and tightness

6.2 Troubleshooting
The table below shows some problem that might encounter in the jobsite during commissioning or upon operation of
compressor. This table will only serve as a guide for the Engineer to understand the situation once the problem
occurred in the site.
Note: The replacement of compressor internal parts should be perform only by a qualified / certified service
technician with full knowledge of HANBELL screw compressor or it should be a Service Engineer from
HANBELL.

7. Applications
When compressors operate in the following application conditions, installation of an additional auxiliary cooling
apparatus is recommended to lower discharge temperature, maintain proper temperature of lubricant and additional
cooling for motor coil… to ensure safe running of compressors with efficiency.
z Air-cooled system
z High compression ratio system such as heat pump, low temperature and refrigeration system
z High discharge temperature system such as heat recovery system
z If compressors have to run at partial load below 50% continuously in a long term.
z Any other heavy duty application
There are two type of additional cooling of compressor that described separately as below.
In areas with high condensing temperature and/or low evaporating temperature as in the limitation diagram, additional
cooling is required in order for the compressor to work properly. A relatively simple method of additional cooling is
direct refrigerant injection in the compressor either in the motor side or compression chamber side.
The purpose of installing a liquid injection system is to prevent the compressor from overheat. The system installed a
liquid injection expansion valve between the liquid line and compressor for cooling down the compression chamber and
motor to ensure the continuous and safe running of the compressor. The suction superheat should be controlled
between 5K~10K for the application of air-cooled and heat pump chillers by means of expansion valve devices. These
devices can be adjusted by the stem of the expansion valve to control the suction superheat by means of refrigerant
flow rate. When the initial startup, the loading of the chiller is heavy due to the high temperature of chilled water, so the
liquid injection devices capacity should be selected or calculated enough to reduce the overheat of the compressor.
Liquid injection devices can be calculated with the HANBELL selection software or manually. For manual calculation,
consider the most extreme conditions to be expected during actual operations i.e. minimum evaporating temperature,
maximum suction gas super heat and condensing temperature.
When the compressor applied in the low temperature system (E.T. ≦ -10°C) the compression ratio is high at this
condition, also the discharge temperature will be very high. The design of the liquid injection system for low
temperature application is similar to the illustration shown in figure below. There are two connectors for the liquid
injection in the compressor, one is in the motor side to cool down the motor temperature and reduce the discharge
temperature. The other is in the compression chamber side and its function is to reduce the discharge temperature and
increase the compression efficiency. However, when additional cooling in compression chamber like economizer
operation, oil cooler application is used or when condensing temperature is low, discharge temperature be kept low
and liquid injection may not be turned on, although motor load is severe and motor coil temperature is high. This may
lead to motor failure. Therefore, in application mentioned above Pt100 or Pt1000 for liquid injection to motor is
recommended instead.
Figure 59 Liquid injection connected to motor Figure 60 Liquid injection connected to compression chamber
66
Liquid injection applied with high temperature expansion valve
Select the high temperature expansion valve, which can sense the discharge temperature with its remote bulb. This
can control the opening of expansion valve proportionally, and can reach the best cooling effect; it will control the
compressor discharge temperature at an optimal situation of around 80°C.
It can also be installed with an additional solenoid valve or service valve in front of the high temperature expansion
valve for the maintenance purposes. The solenoid valve will be opened while starting the compressor. The
equilibrium tube of high temperature expansion valve should be connected to the high-pressure side to counter the
internal pressure.
However, when additional cooling in compression chamber like economizer operation, oil cooler application is used,
or when condensing temperature is low, discharge temperature may be kept low and liquid injection may not be
turned on, although motor load is severe and motor coil temperature is high. This may lead to motor failure.
Therefore, in applications mentioned above, Pt100 or Pt1000 for liquid injection to motor is recommended instead.

Cooling by refrigerant
The cooler uses refrigerant as the cooling medium. A basic
refrigerant-cooled oil cooling system is shown in Figure 63.
67
Air-cooled oil cooling (cooling by ambient air)
The basic air-cooled oil cooling system is shown in Figure 64. This
method of cooling is indirect cooling which uses ambient air to cool
down the oil, which circulates in the oil cooler.
68
7.2 Economizer applications
HANBELL screw compressor can be fitted with an additional middle connection for economizer operation. With this
form of operation, refrigeration capacity and also system efficiency can be improved by means of a sub-cooling circuit
or two-stage refrigerant expansion.
Based on HANBELL extensive research a special design of the economizer connection has been developed so that
the connection causes no additional back flow losses during compression. As a result of this, compressor capacity is
fully retained in all operating conditions.
Please refer to Hanbell selection software for calculation of economizer capacity at different operating conditions.
Principle of operation
As opposed to the reciprocating operation of a piston compressor, the compression in a screw compressor takes place
only with one flow direction. When the rotors turn, refrigerant vapor is pressed into the rotor grooves by the opposing
rotor teeth and transported to end wall of the corresponding working space. In this phase, the volume is steadily
reduced and the vapor is compressed from suction pressure to condensing pressure.
The pressure at the additional middle connection is at a similar level to the intermediate pressure with a two-stage
system. As a result of these features, a screw compressor of this design can be combined with an additional sub-
cooling circuit or an intermediate pressure vessel (flash type sub-cooler) for two-stage expansion. These measures
result in a clearly increased refrigeration capacity due to additional liquid sub-cooling, especially with high-pressure
ratios. The power consumption of the compressor increases slightly compare to the additional work that takes place at
a better level of efficiency.
Note:
1. When economizer is used, it is recommended to install a
muffler before middle-pressure returned gas port in
compression chamber to effectively mitigate pulsation noise in
middle pressure as shown in the drawing below.
69
Figure 67 System with economizer (sub-cooler) Figure 68 System with economizer (flash type sub-cooler)
In the rack or parallel system, it is possible to happen the unequal-distribution of returned oil from the evaporator that
could cause low oil level in one or more of the compressors. Be sure to install the oil level switch inside each
compressors and oil flow switch installed in each oil return line to ensure the returned oil in each compressor with
normal oil level.
The basic design of the system is shown in Figure 69, twin compressor parallel system connections. The accessories
installed are the basic and if there are more applications or protection required, contact HANBELL or local
distributor/agent for more information or further confirmation.
70
7.4 Oil pump application
An additional oil pump is recommended to install to the system when the differential pressure of oil pressure and
suction pressure is less than 4bar ( for example: water cooled flooder chiller). If compressor is operating at the
mentioned condition, the failure of modulation and lubrication will be happened and will seriously damage the
compressor. Besides the installation of additional oil pump, a high – low pressure differential switch is also
recommended to install to this kind of system. Please contact with Hanbell for more detailed information of oil pump.
1. Pump down
Do not pump down the compressor on the chiller as a routine operation except only for temporary maintenance or a
long term shut down. Because pump down will cause extremely high temperature in the compression chamber and
overheat of the motor as well due to less amount of refrigerant in the suction side. When doing the pump down, be
sure to take notice of the items listed below :
a. Hanbell recommends that whenever doing the pumping down of the compressor, the compressor is also
recommended to run at 100% capacity.
b. Pump down should be done once each time, as it may be dangerous to the compressor, compression chamber for
pumping down repeatedly.
c. The minimum suction pressure when doing the pump down should be over 0.5kg/cm2g
d. The allowable length of time for pumping down a compressor should not be over 15 seconds.
e. When doing the pump down of compressor, must take notice of the high discharge temperature should not exceed
110℃.
f. Take notice of high/low pressure by reading the oil level of the compressor and the noise of running as well. If there
is any abnormal value or situation, then emergently stop the pump down.

Illustration of RC2-F compressor and its external oil separator and accessories recommendation
In the lubricant circuit, installing oil solenoid valve in proper place is very important. As the compressor is shut down,
lubricant will automatically inject into compressor due to pressure differential. It will easily make the system difficult to
restart because of low oil level or lubricant injection inside the compression chamber. Besides, the following issues are
noticed:
82
z Stop-pin must be installed during operating
z External oil separator and its filter & cartridge is recommended
z Refrigerant oil volume is varied and based on the different designs of external oil separator. Hanbell only
offers the minimum oil flow volume in different conditions the customers gave. (without oil cooler)
z In parallel system, many compressors use one external oil separator. Please contact Hanbell sales engineer
for further technical suggestions and specification of related piping and flanges.
