MAINTENANCE

3
1.1 GENERAL COMMENTS

The compressor is designed to give long periods of trouble free operation with the minimum of
maintenance.

A yearly inspection is recommended for all Howden compressor installations. Some installations
may require an annual statutory insurance survey.

The purpose of the yearly inspection survey is to check if there is any significant wear of the journal
and thrust bearings, balance pistons and seals, and if any wear is found, for these components to be
renewed.

It is not anticipated that a major overhaul will be required for approximately three years of operation.
After this time all bearings must be renewed. The bearings may still be perfectly serviceable, but all
bearings have a finite lifespan and replacement at this point may forestall an expensive compressor
breakdown later.

When the compressor is being inspected or overhauled it must be dismantled in a clean area,
utmost cleanliness is vital for trouble-free operation.

The correct torque should be applied to all fasteners as specified in Section 4.1 using appropriate
torque wrenches.

All lockwashers and ‘O’ rings must be renewed on re-assembly. Section 4.3 describes lockwasher
assembly procedure.

Special tools to ease dismantling and re-assembly can be provided, as listed in Section 4.4. Details
of these can be obtained from the Compressor Business Unit, Howden Compressors.

Section 5 gives information on spare kits required when working on the XRV compressor.

1.2 PREPARATION FOR DISMANTLING

Before dismantling the compressor, precautions should be taken in the interests of safety:

1. Isolate the drive unit.

2. Depressurise and purge the system.

3. Disconnect the drive unit coupling from the compressor.

4. Place a receptacle under the outlet end of the compressor to catch any oil, which may drip
from the actuator cylinder when the cylinder cover is removed, or when the casings are
separated.

5. Ensure all lifting equipment, ie eyebolts, slings, and shackles are safe and serviceable.

1.3 PRECAUTIONS DURING SHUTDOWN

The Howden XRV Screw Compressor operates on an oil/gas mixture and short periods of shutdown
will not adversely affect the unit.

If the compressor is shut down for an extended period the suction and discharge valves should be
closed.

Turn the compressor driveshaft a few times every week by hand. This will help to avoid Brinelling of
the anti-friction bearings.

If the shutdown period is three months or more the above procedure should be continued and, in
addition, the compressor set should be run for one hour every three months.

During a shutdown period in cold conditions, any water-cooled items of plant should be drained, or
the cooling water flow maintained to prevent frost damage.

Users may use suitable inhibiting oils in the Howden screw compressor prior to a long shutdown.

If you have any doubts about the compatibility of any inhibiting oils with your gas or existing
lubrication oil, please contact the manufacturer or your dealer.

3.1 OVERHAUL - DISMANTLING

The compressor slide valve is spring-loaded and to avoid injury, the operator should ensure that all
spring tension is released prior to dismantling. This can be done by ensuring that the slide valve is
fully off load (the piston should be at its limit towards outlet) and the volume ratio Vi adjustment is at
its minimum. (The Vi adjustment screw should be turned to its limit in the clockwise direction).

3.2 PREPARATION FOR RE-ASSEMBLY

On re-assembly, the procedures listed below should be followed:

1. Re-assemble the compressor in a clean area. (Ensure outer race of bearing in question is
identified for future fitting to casing.)

2. Always refer to the relevant drawing.

3. Always replace consumable items on re-assembly.

4. Always keep replacement parts in their protecting wrapping until they are required.

5. Always lubricate the component parts with clean oil before fitting them.

6. Always torque screws to the recommended torque. (Section 4.1)

7. Always use an even heat source such as an oil bath or induction heater to heat bearing
races prior to fitting. This will avoid damage to and distortion of the bearings.

3.3 OVERHAUL – RE-ASSEMBLY

1. Heat a roller bearing inner race using one of the methods described above (See 3.2.7) (Fig.
35) (Ensure outer race bearing in question is identified for future fitting to casing).

2. Fit the bearing race onto a rotor shaft and slide it fully home to the “shoulder”. Hold it in
place until has cooled onto the shaft journal. (It will tend to “creep” out of position as it cools
if this is not done) (Fig. 36).

Fig. 35 Fig. 36

34
3.3 OVERHAUL – RE-ASSEMBLY (Continued)

3. Repeat the process described above for the other three bearing inner races.

NOTE: Ensure that the outer and inner races are not switched between bearings.

4. Lubricate and fit new ‘O’ rings to the floating bush seals and refit the seals in the outlet end
bearing bores.

5. Insert anti-rotation pins into the floating bush retaining plates and fit them in the bearing
bores.

6. Ensure that the anti-rotation pins locate in the slots in the floating bushes (Fig. 37).

7. Lubricate the dished spring washers. Fit a spring washer convex side inboard at the
bottom of male outlet end casing bearing bore (Fig. 38).

8. Fit an oil inlet spacer in each of the outlet end casing bearing bores, slots facing outboard
(Fig. 39).

9. Push fit outer bearing race into male bearing bore of the outlet end casing (Fig. 40)

10. Repeat operations 7, 8 and 9 in female outlet casing bore.

Fig. 37 Fig. 38

Fig. 39 Fig. 40

35
3.3 OVERHAUL – RE-ASSEMBLY (Continued)

11. Lubricate the rotors and use lifting gear to refit them in the main casing, it is easiest to fit the
female rotor first (The centre of gravity of each rotor is approximately mid-way along its
length).

12. The serial numbers stamped on the rotors should be matched up so that the serial numbers
on the outside edge of one “flute” of the female rotor meshes with the serial number at the
root of one lobe of the male on refitting (Fig. 41). Please note that some rotors do not have
serial numbers imprinted on the lobes.

13. Lubricate the slide valve and refit it in its bore. Move the slide valve into the bore as far as
possible (Fig. 42).

14. Check that the slide valve assembly moves freely in its bore.

4.3 PROCEDURES FOR FITTING LOCKWASHERS

This instruction applies to all lockwashers used on Howden compressors for locking shaft locknuts in
place eg thrust bearing locknuts, piston rod locknuts, etc. A typical example is shown below (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

Assembly Method:

When using this type of lockwasher, the locknut should be assembled to the shaft without the
lockwasher and torqued to the prescribed value. The locknut must then be removed, the lockwasher
dipped in oil and fitted to the shaft, and the locknut replaced and again torqued to the prescribed
value.

This assembly process limits the amount of relative movement between the locknut and lockwasher
and avoids the possibility of the inner tang being damaged during assembly.

4.5 PROCEDURE FOR RE-FITTING INLET CASING

1. Ensure that the inlet and outlet casing flanges are free from dirt and metal burrs.

2. Install the ‘O’ rings without using grease or jointing compounds.

3. When replacing the cap screws, ensure they are free of dirt and grit, and always fit new
washers.

4. Tighten the cap screws in two stages, following the sequence shown in Fig. 2 below in both
stages.

Initial Torque 120 Nm

Final Torque 240 Nm

5. On completion, give the cap screws a final check for tightness, working round the flange in a
clockwise direction.

Fig 2.

NOTE: XRV 204 bolt layout is similar but there are 17 bolts of same size and same torque as on
XRV 163.

57
4.6 ALIGNMENT OF COMPRESSOR COUPLINGS

Misalignment causes a vibration that affects other parts of the compressor, leading to premature
failure of bearings, seals, etc. Drive couplings fitted to XRV compressors must be aligned correctly.

The coupling alignment tolerance figures can be seen under the following.

Coupling gap dimensions should be set with the coupling held in a repeatable position, ie, hard
together or hard apart. This ensures that each coupling half is moved to the same axial position as
each check is made.

The actual coupling gap should be correct when the shafts are in their normal running condition.

When setting the gap, the axial float of each shaft should be determined and the "hard together" or
"hard apart" dimensions calculated.

EXAMPLE: Compressor driven directly by turbine

Compressor shaft float 0.000mm (0.000")

Turbine shaft float 0.250mm (0.010")

The normal running position of the compressor shaft is thrusting towards the turbine and the turbine
thrusting towards the compressor.

Required coupling gap 3.175mm (0.125")

If the gap is checked with the coupling "hard apart" it should be :-

Required coupling gap 3.175mm (0.125")

plus Compressor shaft float 0.000mm (0.000")
plus Turbine shaft float 0.250mm (0.010")
===================== ==============
= "Hard apart" gap 3.425mm (0.135")

If the gap is checked with the coupling "hard together", ie in the normal running condition, it should
be equal to the required gap 3.175mm (0.125").

58
4.6 COUPLING ALIGNMENT - BASIC RULES

1. Compressor to be mounted on baseframe and mounting feet checked for soft foot and
corrected where necessary.
2. Alignment to be set before connecting any pipework to the compressor.
Allowable TIR = +/- 0.10mm Radially and Axially.
3. Under no circumstances should suction and discharge piping be strained into position.
Distortion of the casing will cause premature failure of the compressor. A vertical and
horizontal clock gauge must be mounted on the compressor input shaft/coupling hub to
ensure no alteration occurs when pipes are being connected. Only after this is completed,
should the coupling hubs be connected.

NOTE: Coupling hubs must not be hammered onto the compressor shaft.

4.7 PIPING

Note that the oil pipes and fittings used should not restrict flows. To avoid this, always use piping
with an OD 1/4" (6mm) larger than the thread diameter of the compressor port eg connection thread
is 3/4" BSP and so a 1"OD pipe or metric equivalent should be used.

NOTE: If the compressor is being fitted into a system where there is a high inlet pressure and low
pressure difference, then it is advisable to connect the oil drain from the actuator cylinder to
the compressor suction line. This will assist the desired speed of unloading. An example of
this condition would typically be in R717 refrigerant with the inlet pressure of 4 bar A and
delivery pressure of 12 bar A.

Before installing the piping, the compressor gas inlet and outlet ports and oil injection holes should
be inspected to ensure no dirt is present.

NOTE: All piping should be supported so that no strain is transmitted to the compressor casing.

The piping should be inspected for cleanliness before installation. As each pipe is connected to the
compressor, the coupling alignment should be checked to ensure that no alteration has taken place.
If alignment has altered, the compressor is being strained, the pipes should be corrected, and the
supports adjusted accordingly.
It is not acceptable to re-align the drive unit, as this will not correct the strain being imposed on the
compressor. Oil injected refrigeration compressors must have a suction strainer permanently fitted
on the compressor inlet.

When fitting the suction flange to the compressor, ensure that the tapped holes in casing are cleaned
out and free from water. Fit setpins/studs, coating the threads with pipe sealer to prevent ingress of
water into tapped holes.
