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

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.

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.
