N REASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF DE JOURNAL BEARING Done Comment
Reassembly and installation of discharge journal bearing are accomplished in the reverse order of the “removal and

NOTE : Check for correct running clearance. Journal bearing clearance = 0.243~0.195 mm
N HUB COUPLING REINSTALLATION Done Comment

NOTE : the hub coupling reinstallation only will be done after all DGS replacement (either DGS replacement for 1 side
1 only or both sides) completed and also after the leak test by pressurizing of the compressor to 7~8 Bar to check the O- 
ring installation for any damage during seal installation completed
2 Install the hub coupling, push the hub coupling onto the shaft manually as far as possible and install the dial gauge 

Rev: 00 Date: 20/03/2016 Page: 11 of 20

3 Measure the distance between hub face to shaft end (A0 as below picture) and compared with the previous measurement of A1
(before dismantling). The difference (A1-A0) will be the required movement of the hub coupling to its original position by using
the special hydraulic tools (to be monitored the movement by using the dial gauge).
- Install the hub coupling with the special tools as below :
4 
- Install the hydraulic jack equipment SKF72910B and SKF729124 and ensure the fitting connection s are already tightened
properly
CAUTIONS :
1 - Never exceed an oil pressure of 2450 bars, in order to preclude injury to personnel and tool damages. Do not forget
5 that the hub coupling placement itself, over the shaft cone, causes a pressure rise. 
2 - After having finally installed the hub coupling collar and reduced the oil pressure down to zero, wait for 2 hours
minimum before removing the tool, so that all oil will be drained off.
Pump the hydraulic oil to the special tool for coupling hub installer to pressure as follows :
- Expander side (center plug) : Max 2450 Barg (by using SKF72910B)
- Pusher side (outer connection): Max 100 MPa (by using SKF729124)
6 
WARNING : NEVER STAND UP IN FRONT OF THE SPECIAL TOOL FOR COUPLING HUB INSTALLER
WHILE IT IS UNDER HIGH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
7 Hold the condition until 2-4 hours. 
Release the pressure at center socket (expander) gradually around one hour before release the pusher pressure. Check the hub
8
movement (if any) from the dial gauge when release the pusher pressure

Remove the special tools and measure again the distance between hub face to shaft end (A1) to ensure the hub has been installed
9
back to its original position and check again DBSE

10 Reinstall the coupling guard with its piping 

5 Connect the pump to the compressor shaft using the flexible hose 
6 Vent the circuit of air 
7 Tighten the tool screws to a 4 mkg torque and build up the oil pressure to 500 Bar 
Wait 10 minutes for the oil to be well distributed, retighten the screws to 3 mkg, and build up pressure to 250 Bar. Repeat this step
8
until a leak appears (unstable pressure on the pressure gauge)

Admit oil quickly with help of the pump so as, in spite of the leakage, to increase the pressure, until the thrust collar gets separated

of shims

If the dial indicator reading is less than the desired value, shims may be added to increase the end clearance, however, if an
5
excessive of shims is required, the thrust pads may be warped or out of place

N REMAINING REINSTATEMENT AND LEAK TEST Done Comment
1 Reinstall probes and RTD 
2 Reinstall all pipings 
Pressurize the compressor to 7~8 Bar to make sure that “O” rings have not been damaged during seal installation and observe the
3
reading of pressure for any decreasing. See NOTE as below if found any abnormality

NOTE :
After both seal cartridges, journal and thrust bearing are installed (and before coupling installation), it is suggested
to pressurize the compressor to 7~8 Bar to make sure that “O” rings have not been damaged during seal installation.
If an excessive leakage is observed, the shaft should be turned by hand in order to correct misalignment of faces. DO
NOT keep turning the shaft if the leakage remains excessive but determine the cause for such an excessive leakage.
When everything is found to be satisfactorily installed, proceed with coupling installation.
