1-2-2 GAS AND OIL FLOW IN THE COMPRESSOR UNIT

The flow diagram for the CNA-31C Compressor Unit is shown in Figure 1.3.
Internal components functions are described in Table 1.3.

The Compressor Unit works as follows;

2
1 Low pressure He gas (Press.: 0.59 MPa (6.0 kgf/cm G, 85psig) & below) discharged from a Cold
Head can be led through a HE-GAS RETURN CONNECTOR to the Compressor Unit.

2 The low pressure (Return) He gas can pass through a STORAGE TANK and a FILTER, and flow into
a COMPRESSOR CAPSULE.

3 The low pressure He gas will be compressed and pressurized in the COMPRESSOR CAPSULE, and
the high pressure with high temperature He gas after the compression will be discharged from the
COMPRESSOR CAPSULE outlet.

4 The high pressure with high temperature He gas will be led to an air cooled HE-GAS COOLER and
cooled down in the cooler.

5 The high pressure He gas after cooling will flow into an OIL SEPARATOR to separate an almost all of
lubricating oil mist from the high pressure He gas.

6 The separated lubricating oil can be returned to the COMPRESSOR CAPSULE through a lub oil
return pipings.

7 The high pressure He gas discharged from the OIL SEPARATOR will be led to an ADSORBER.

8 A remained lub oil contents in the high pressure He gas can be adsorbed through an active charcoal
layer to make the high pressure He gas being pure.

9 The pure high pressure He gas can be supplied to the Cold Head through a HE-GAS SUPPLY
CONNECTOR.

2-1 SITE REQUIREMENT

2 INSTALLATION

2-1 SITE REQUIREMENT

<Caution against misoperation>

CAUTION Do not use inverter for the main power source of the compressor unit. Operating with inverter
may result in the damage or malfunction of the compressor electric circuit.

Avoid using the transformer for the main power source of the compressor unit. If the
transformer is installed at the upstream of the unit, lacking phase protection circuit with the
cryocooler occurs in a malfunction. That may result in misoperation or malfunction. When
using the transformer, install the other lacking phase protection device in upstream of the
transformer.

Secure enough space around the compressor unit for heat radiation and maintenance. Failing
to secure enough space may result in misoperation or malfunction.

Secure enough space around the Compressor Unit for venting. Failing to secure sufficient
space may result in misoperation or malfunction.

The Compressor Unit should be installed in a clean environment. Installing it in a dusty

environment such as inside a factory will require frequent cleaning of the cooler fins or may
result in misoperation or malfunction.

An almost level and even area in the field will be selected to install the Compressor Unit.
An area to be influenced by splashing water and/or dusts will not be selected to install the Compressor
Unit installation area.
A clean environmental condition without dirt and/or free from an exhausted heat will be selected to install
the Compressor Unit in the field.
An efficient ventilated area will be required to free from an exhausted heat of the Compressor Unit in the
field.
A suitable air conditioning capacity will be secured for an installing area for the Compressor Unit in the
field.
Any object and/or obstacle cannot be positioned on a ventilation fan outlet in a top area of the enclosure
and/or on surroundings of the Compressor Cooler.
Any heat sensitive object cannot be positioned on surroundings of the Compressor Unit.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CONDITION

The ambient temperature must be between 4 deg.C (39.2 deg.F) and 28 deg.C (82.4 deg.F) to get the
specified cooling capacity. The system can operate up to 38 deg.C (100.2 deg.F) with less than 5%
cooling capacity down. The maximum relative air humidity is 85%RH.
HELIUM SUPPLY SYSTEM
A helium supply system is necessary if you need to decontaminate the helium gas, or charging the
helium gas that has leaked out of the system. A helium supply system includes a Grade 5 (99.999% up
pure) helium gas bottle, a regulator, an outlet valve, and a charging hose or equivalent delivery line.
POWER SOURCE
Ensure the correct AC power source is available for the compressor. See Table 1.1 for the power
requirements for your system.
ROOM TEMPERATURE
Ensure the room temperature to meet the specification shown in Table 1.1. Air conditioning shall be
capable of handling heat load. Keep the room temperature shown in Table 1.1.
SAFETY / SEISMIC REQUIREMENT
Secure to lock the locking device of compressor castor.
SERVICE AREA
The Compressor Unit is air-cooled and should have enough space for air flow as shown in Figure 2.1.
