Operation of Rotary Screw Compressors RWF 270
REDDY ICE/ PACKAGED ICE, INC. PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT/ RISK MANAGEMENT PREVENTION STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES – OPERATION OF SCREW COMPRESSORS SOP-3.1 Operation of Rotary Screw Compressors RWF 270 Objective This procedure is established to describe the Technical Operating Specifications (TOS) and to set forth Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the safe operation of the compressors. Any person that is responsible for any operation, repair or maintenance of this equipment should read and be familiar with all elements of the Frick Manual and should daily, read the compressor log concerning the compressor and associated equipment. Purpose The purpose of the TOS is to provide a description of the compressor, define its function, operating conditions and limits, consequences of deviations from operating limits, describe its controls, instrumentation and safety systems and setting its operating alignment(s). The purpose of the SOP is to establish the proper steps for startup, operation, and shut-down of the compressor. Concerns Pay careful attention to suction pressure, discharge pressure, lubrication oil pressure, and lubrication oil temperature. This is important to this procedure because compressor damage can occur when compressors are dead-headed or when lubrication is lost. Among the incidents we are trying to prevent are: • • Injury to operator(s) • • Damage to compressors due to high discharge pressure or loss of lubrication • • Over-pressurization of the refrigeration system (e.g., blocked in liquid) resulting in a release through pressure relief valves or failure or rupture of lines, tubes, or other equipment and a subsequent release Department Engineering Operator/ Responsibility Plant Engineer - Mike Cannon Plant Manager - Steve Waters Equipment/Location (3) Frick model RWF270, Located in the engine room (east end of building).

PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT/ RISK MANAGEMENT PREVENTION STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES – OPERATION OF SCREW COMPRESSORS Technical Operating Specification (TOS) Function Description The compressor serves, as a pump to maintain desired suction pressure by removing ammonia vapor from the Vogt Icemaker liquid recirculator. In the process, low-pressure ammonia vapor is compressed, which creates heated high-pressure ammonia vapor. The high-pressure ammonia vapor then moves to the evaporative condensers and liquefies. The Frick RWF 270 Compressor package has a side port economizer to maintain a controlled pressure on the liquid receiver (CPR). The compressor package also has an oil cooling thermosyphon system. The thermosyphon oil cooler on the side of the compressor (C1-18) has chiller plates in which the oil flows. The plates are surrounded by liquid ammonia that flows directly from the pilot thermosyphon receiver. The oil passes through the plates, the ammonia boils and absorbs the heat from the oil, and the vapor returns to the Thermosyphon pilot receiver.

PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT/ RISK MANAGEMENT PREVENTION STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES – OPERATION OF SCREW COMPRESSORS Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Task Flow Manual start-up procedures | Monitor normal operations | Manual shut-down procedures | Emergency shut-down procedures Task Step Manual start-up 1. Visually check the compressor for procedures (during normal lockout/tag-out devices. operations and following maintenance operations) 2. On initial installation or during any maintenance procedure that involves removal of any electrical phased conductors, remove the motor coupling and refer to the Compressor manual for the complete checklist on verifying motor rotation. Comment During normal operations, the compressor will start, stop, automatically load, and unload based on suction pressure. Never skip the step of verifying motor rotation. Starting a screw compressor in the wrong direction can be extremely dangerous to equipment and personnel. 3. Check to ensure a sufficient quantity of the evaporative condenser(s) are enabled to operate at desired pressure range depending present load. 4. Remove tags as valves are opened or as from the closed position during the shutdown or maintenance procedure. 5. Manually open the suction valve C-02 slowly to (full open) to the compressor. 6. Manually open the discharge valve C-14 on the compressor. 7. Ensure that the manual valves on the thermosyphon oil cooler line are open. 8. Turn on or reset any disconnects that was Also remove-warning tags (DO NOT turned to the off position. OPERATE) from disconnects as they are reset or closed.

Check the oil level in the compressor using the two sight glasses. The level should be in the middle of the top sight glass when the compressor is shut down. The level should be in the middle of the bottom sight glass when the compressor is running. (Visually check separator sight glass, verify there is no oil in coalescer section of the oil separator) 10. Start the compressor in the manual mode, operate slide valve, slide stop in the manual mode (increase & decease the position) to verify that the compressor operates correctly and then place the operator interface terminal (Panelview) and Quantum panel switch to remote. The compressor will start, oil pressure will begin to increase as the discharge pressure increases and the suction pressure decreases 11. Monitor analog data on the microprocessor to Check proper operating ensure that all the parameters are within the parameters as recorded on each acceptable range. compressor log-sheet clipboard. 12. Monitor the system for ammonia/oil leaks. If any unusual conditions (ammonia or oil leaks, noises, or vibration) are observed. Stop compressor, make corrections and restart compress. 13. Verify that all electrical or mechanical access covers are replaced that were removed or opened during the shutdown or maintenance procedure. Monitor normal operations 1.

The sheets will be collected by the Plant Engineer, reviewed, signed and filed daily. The logbook will remain on file in the Plant Engineers Office. Check lubrication schedule daily for any listed equipment due for lubrication. REDDY ICE – DALLAS 2. Steps to Operate within Desired Ranges: • Suction pressure: check position of slide valve and adjust settings using the compressor microprocessor or panelview. • Discharge pressure: check position of discharge valve and check operation of evaporative condenser. • Lubrication oil pressure and temperature, discharge temperature: position of oil valves.
