909665-12.2014-GbMaintenanceService intervalsPractically no maintenance is required. However, for an optimal operating safety and service life of the compressor we recommend tocarry out the necessary maintenance work regulary according to the specifications of the manufacturer of the refrigerating plant.5 I MaintenanceFunction checks to be carried out once a yearLeak test of the plantChecking the running noise of compressorChecking pressures and temperatures of the plantChecking the tensioner for orderly seatingChecking the V belts for tension and conditionChecking the oil level in the cranckcaseChecking the fixing screws for tighteningChecking the function of the ancillary unitsChecking the electrical connections for clean, firmly fixed contacts and the leads for chaing pointsOil level checkAfter starting the compressor, the oil level has to be checked. For this:The driving engine should be in the „High idle“ operating condition (elevated idling speed)Compressor running time at least 10 min.The plant should have reached the operating pointThe oil level must be visible in the sight glassChanging oilIn case of orderly manufactured and operated plants an oil change is in principle not absolutely necessary.Yet, based on decades-long experience we recommend to carry out the following oil change and servicing.- First oil change at the first maintenance of the vehicle.- After that, changing the oil every 5000 operating hours, but at the latest after 3 years.At the same time the oil filter and the suction filter should be cleaned and the oil connecting ringfrom the shaft seal replaced.Standard oil type used by GEA Bock Recommended alternativesFor HCFC (e.g. R22)Fuchs Reniso SP 46 BP Energol LPT 46 SUNOCO Suniso 3.5GSTEXACO Capella WF 46For HFC (e.g. R134a, R404A, R407C)Fuchs Reniso Triton SE 55 FUCHS SEZ 32 / 68 / 80 ESSO / Mobil EAL Arctic 46LubricantsInformation about other suitable oils should be taken from GEA Bock lubricant tables.Information may also be retrieved from www.gea.com.The oil type charged as standard in the factory is marked on the name plate.
