FOREWORD ‘The responsibility for the correct installation and alignment of the unit and its elements fies with the persons making the installation, even though accomplished under the supervision of one of our Field Service Supervisors. We are entitled to assume that the installation workmen actually performing the work are skilled in their trades and do not require specific and detailed direction to properly make and tighten all mechanical and electrical connections, and we further assume that such workmen would call any un- ‘madeconnactions to their supervisors attention prior to startup, Itis absolutely necessary that clean dry air or gas is supplied to the unit. Air andior gas pioing to the compressor cylinders shall be absolutely clean; possibly requiring, for gas service, acid or pickling treatment to obtain the required clean internal surlaces. Equipment in the form of screening, mist extractors, knock-out drums, etc., shall be in- ‘stalled in gas intake lines to prevent foreign material from entering the unit and to prevent condensate, distilates or wet gases from being drawn into the cylinders. ‘Such foreign material (dirt or condensate) drawn into the unit will cause damage to the ‘elements thereof, for which we cannot accept any responsibility. 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS REGARDING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF COMPRESSOR WARNING FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN AN ACC! DENT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR OR SEVERE PER- SONAL INJURY OR DEATH Do not operate this equipment in excess of its rated capacity, speed, pressure, and temperature, nor otherwise than in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Operation of the equipment in excess of the conditions set forth in the “Conditions of Service" can subject it to stresses and strains which it was not designed to withstand. Before compressor startup, make sure all lines and vessels to compressor have been ‘purged and cleaned of foreign material and moisture to avoid drawing such material into the system. Never use combustible solvents to clean any intake filters or internal compressor ‘components. This practice could result in an explosion when the compressor is started. Never set any relief valves or temperature shutdown monitors above specific system design settings, nor block out any alarm or shutdown devices while operating the ‘compressor. 10. 1" 12. 18. 14, 16. 16. 17. Check system valve "line-up" before attempting to discharge into the system. ‘When any part of the system is water- or cil-cooted and oil lubricated, make sure proper coolant and lubrication flow has been established before starting up the compressor. {In case of fire in any electrical rnotor or controller, never use water or foam. Use ‘only acceptable extinguishers for Class "C” fires; (COz, Chemical, etc.) Stop the compressor immediately and investigate thoroughly if unusual noises are heard. Never place fingers, hands, hand tools, or other objects into the cylinders, housing ‘or running gear while the compressor is in operation. Do not allow hands or wiping rags around moving parts, Keep the face and any other part of the body away from any relief valve outlets. To avoid being bumed, do not touch compressor cylinders, cylinder heads, valve covers, discharge piping or heat exchanger heads while the compressor is in ‘operation, or until such parts have cooled off after shutdown. Do not atiempt to correct gas or air leaks, tighten mating parts, or examine internals while the compressor system is under pressure or the driver is energized. Do not service this equipment until isolation valves have been closed, electrical disconnects opened and all internal pressures reduced to atmospheric. Ensure that toxic fumes due to gas constituents or overheating are purged from cylinders or piping before opening up the system. Alviays assume the compressor is energized or "ON" unless you personally have turned it "OFF" and have locked out andior tagged the power to the driver; this applies if the driver is a motor, engine or turbine. Before doing any maintenance inside cylinders or housing, make sure that the running gear is locked to prevent rotation. After maintenance, the user should ‘account for all tools used in servicing the compressor to make sure none were left inside. Make sure all gaskets are replaced during servicing and that bolts are properly tightened to specified torque values to avoid accidents and failures. Test all safety valves, alarm trip devices and gauges regularly to make sure they are in good working order. Since operational requirements differ, the frequency of testing is best determined by the user. Use adequate lifting devices to move the compressor package or any heavy parts. STORAGE OF LUBRICATED COMPRESSORS: DAMAGE Inspect a new unit for loose or damaged protective coverings. Repair any damage and protect the unit as outlined below. ‘STORAGE Factory rust protection allows up to six months of storage. if the compressor skid is to be stored at any time and it is not resting on a level foundation, it must be supported along its full length to prevent any sag or distortion. It also will be necessary to protect, the unit from the weather, either in a building or by use of a tarpaulin or similar cover. Warehouse storage is recommended. If stored in a shed, allow for proper air circulation to prevent condensation and “sweating”. Under certain atmospheric conditions, sweating may ‘occur on units stored under plastic covers. Do not rotate crankshaft while the unit is in storage except as outlined below. 12 For proper unit protection during storage, follow these procedures: (Refer to Table |) NOTE On skid-mounted packages, storage procedures for the driver in accor- dence with the driver manufacturer's instructions must be followed. It is important to note that local environment has a great effect on the ability of rust preventatives. and storage procedures to properly protect the equipment. Because of this, we cannot realistically accept respon siblity for storage as we have no control over the conditions at the storage site. EVERY SIX MONTHS: 4. Remove a valve from each end of each cylinder. 2. Dismantie each cylinder completely and inspect for rust. 3. Apply (MIL-L-21260, Grade Il, or equivalent) oil inside each cylinder end. 4, Reassemble the unit. 6. Apply (MIL-L-21280, Grade I, or equivalent) oil to the exposed sides of the valves before replacing the unloaders or valve covers. 6. Unwrap the piston rods and packing glands: inspect these parts for corrosion. Remove any corrosion using crocus cloth or a fine hone stone, then apply preser- vative oil (MIL-C-16178, Grade IV, or equivalent). Rewrap the piston rods and packing glands with Grade C waxed paper and an outer crepe overwrap. vil 8 a j. Replace all gaskets and covers. Inspect for exterior rust. On painted surfaces, remove any rust and repaint the piece. On unpainted surfaces, remove any rust and apply preservative oil (MiL-C- 16173, Grade IV, or equivalent) EVERY TWELVE MONTHS: 1 ‘Open the crankcase and inspect for rust. Remove any found. Apply preservative oil (MIL-L-21260, Grade Il, or equivalent). Rotate the crankshaft several times while respraying. Perform the normal six-month inspection. Close up the crankcase and replace ail gaskets and covers NOTE It the unit is factory prepared for long-term storage, omit the twelve- ‘month procedure.

ELECTRICAL WIRING SSRsssgas BRSSREREREE LOCATION When possible, select a site for the compressor installation where the soil under the foundation will be firm and dry at all times. Before making a final decision on the compres- ‘sor site, study the foundation pian, installation drawings and piping diagrams supplied with the machine. 1. Isolate the compressor skid from hazardous areas such as storage tanks, open flames, vents, etc. 2 Locate the compressor skid to minimize the length of piping runs. 3. Allow enough space for maneuvering the trucks that will bring the compressor skid, as well as service vehicles. 4. Keep sufficient distance between the compressor and industrial or residential buildings ‘80 as to avoid potential noise problems, safety hazards and the like, §. Shelter the unit from prevailing winds in cold climates and face the cooler into the Prevailing winds in warm climates. 6. Allow for adequate drainage by selecting a site with enough elevation to keep the skid ‘out of standing water during heavy rain or snew-melt conditions. 11 Installation If the compressor is to be placed in a building, the building should be designed with the ‘compressor installation kept in mind. Not only does the building have to supply adequate weather protection for the equipment and operators, but also it should be large enough to allow ample working room around the skid and sufficient clearance for removal of pistons and piston rods, coolers and other major parts. An overhead hoist, arranged so that it can be moved over the compressor and driver, will groatly faciltate maintenance. The hoist should hhave sufficient capacity to lift the heaviest part that must be removed for normal main- tenance. |n addition, good lighting is essential for proper operation and maintenance. Overhead lights should be so placed to adequately illuminate the compressor and driver and outlets should be provided for drop cords and auxiliary lighting, ‘Adequate ventilation is essential to safely in any compressor building. Even in buildings hhaving open sides there can be pockets or dead areas that will collect escaping gas; any such areas should be vented. ‘SKIDS AND FOUNDATIONS All reciprocating compressors generate inherent unbalanced forces. The SUPERCUB is a ‘balanced - opposed type compressor in which the forces of one throw oppose those of the ‘opposite throw. Where required, special crosshoads and/or weights added to the crossheads balance opposing throws, reducing inherent unbalanced forces considerably. Due to the offset of the throws, an inherent couple is present. ~ TOP VIEW GYLINDER CENTERLINE, CYLINDER SUPPORT BASE GROUT BOX ‘OUTER SKID OUTLINE ‘MAIN SKID (CRANKSHAFT. ‘CENTERLINE ‘ouTER skid MEMBER, SOLE PLATE Paani “CYLINDER. ‘CENTERLINE Figure 1-1. Arrangement of Cylinder Sole Piate Installation Because all compressors have unbalanced forces, an adequate foundation or skid is necessary to prevent vibration and movement of the unit. NOTE On a one-, three- or five-cylinder compressor unit, the open throw is fitted with’ a balancing crosshead of sufficient weight to properly counterbalance the weight in the opposing cylinder. Units mounted on steel skids require the following considerations. 1. In the erection of a compressor on a steel skid, shim the frame and cylinder supports where they contact the skid. This will prevent cistorion when they are bolted to the skid. Prevent any possible horizontal movement by ensuring that bolts are properly torqued. 2 The skid should fully support the unit, and should only be shimmed at foundation bolt ‘areas, not the entire length of the skid, 3. The skid must also provide adequate firmness to the unit elements, to compensate for the inherent disturbing forces present in the machine. Where required, cylinder supports are to be provided for each cylinder to support the ‘overhanging weight of the cylinders and to aid in stabilizing any horizontal movernent caused by unbalanced forces. Bolt these supports along with the frame to the main members of the skid. See Figure 1-1. Cylinder and distance-piece supports should always be kept in comp- ression. The skids should be designed to accommodate these cylinder supports, which must be bolted to @ main member not just 10 the steel deck plate which may cover the skid. . Shims are used to msintain alignment of the cylinders with the frame. Proper alignment will reduco ‘any stress during cylinder support instalation. A steel skid will tend to accentuate unit ‘operating noises. Be aware that these noises could be mistaken for unit matfunction. Cylinder Support Recommendations ‘Supports for compressor cylinders should meet the following minimum requirements shown in Table 1-1. ‘Advantages gained through use of cylinder supports include maintenance of rigidity between the cylinderiframe assembly system, support of approximately one-half of the cylinder weight and the total weight of the bottles, plus maintenance of cylinder alignment with the crosshead guide. NOTE A careful examination of gas piping and vessel arrangement should be made to ensure that supports indicated by this policy are satisfactory. {f the piping system for a packaged compressor contains unusually large and heavy pulsation vessels, or a piping configuration that will induce high static and dynamic loading on the cylinders, Dresser-Rand recom- mends the use of cylinder feet for any size cylinder and frame arrange- ment, 13 installation 1 ‘Table 1-1.

The supports must be wide at the bottom to restrict cylinder side movement. Construction should be such that support vibration is minimized. This requires proper ribbing and gussets. Sole plates and shims should be used for ease of assembly, alignment and maintenance. Cylinder supports cantilevered from the main skid beams are the least preferred design. ‘When used, such supports must be stiffened by ribs. Additionally, the skid beam should be ribbed to prevent flexing at point of the cylinder support attachment. ‘Support Arrangements 1. Supports attached directly to cylinders from the foundation or skid: a. If the skid does not extend to the end of the cylinder to provide support, the cylinder should be supported by the main concrete foundation under the skid. ‘The foundation in this case must be one continuous mass. Separate founda- tions under cylinder feet should not be used. The outboard cylinder support ‘can be straight from cylinder to foundation or one straddiing the piping. Sole plates are to be used and grouted after proper cylinder alignment. b. When the cylinders are supported directly from the foundation or skid rather than through a discharge bottle, preferred bottle supports are those located ‘on the end of the bottle opposite the cylinder connection. This type of sup- port can be rigid in design and bolted directly to the vessel and the sole plate on the skid or foundation. 14 Installation 2. Arrangement that supports the cylinder via the discharge vessol: ‘8. Vessel supports can be used to support the cylinders, although this is less desirable | than direct support of the cylinders (particularly for 1200 RPM units). When ves- ‘sels are supported directly under the cylinder, adjustable wedge-type supports should be used. The supports must be maintained to keep them tight to the vessel when the unit is operating at normal operating temperature levels, The wedge adjusting bolts must be checked periodically 10 ensure the support is in contact | with the vessel. Dresser-Rand suggests a locking-lype nut be used to secure the { support 3. Typical Support Arrangements: | @ Figures 1-2 through 1-7 show typical support styies. | . The two-piece supports shown attached to the foundation or skid are based ‘on using an optional cylinder foot supplied by Dresser-Rand plus an adaptor 1 support supplied by others. The cylinder foot can be eliminated and the support made in one piece. ‘SKID SUPPORTING FRAME ' ‘OR FRAME AND HOUSING = | ion sompaen, | : CONCRETE FOUNDATION | ~ (MONOLITHIC WITH | ‘SKID FOUNDATION) woe Base Sour PLATE By OTHERS | Notes (G/UNDER FEET MUST SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE BOTTLES PLUS ONE-HALF | ‘ite WEIGHT OF THe CYLINDER AETER INSTALLATION, THE CYLINDER BORE WITH RESPECT TO THE FRAME CROSSHEAD SLIDE 16 T0 BE LEVEL WITHIN cogs INCH PER FOOT \ ‘SUPPORT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN A MANNER THAT WILL TEND TO. t ROTATE THE CYLINDER AND DISTORT THE CROSSHEAD GUIDE.

Figures 1-2 and 1-4 show a typical arrangement to the support when attached to a concrete foundation. The concrete under the cylinder support must be monolithic with the skid foundation. Sole plates and shims should be used for adjustment. @. Figure 1-6 shows a typicat arrangement of the bottle support from a can- filever beam. In this case the beam must be ribbed in the area of the support attachment. The cantilever must also be heavily ribbed to the skid beam to minimize deflection.
