COMPRESSOR PACKAGES

Preface

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation and maintenance of
FES GL Series screw compressor packages. The compressor package will provide optimum
performance if applied to a properly designed refrigeration system. Specific questions
concerning these requirements can be answered by an FES certified representative or factory
personnel. Proper installation, operation and regular maintenance will provide the best and most
dependable equipment life.

GL Series packages are leak tested at the factory and are shipped with a holding charge of dry
nitrogen to prevent contamination from the atmosphere. During installation into the
refrigeration system, it is normally not necessary to leak test the compressor package on site
except when required by prevailing codes or standards. However, prior to charging the system
with refrigerant, the system, including the compressor package, should be evacuated in
compliance with site requirements or other recognized procedures outlined in documents such as
ANSI/IIAR, IIAR Bulletin 110, ASHRAE Handbook "Refrigeration" etc.

To ensure that the compressor is not exposed to liquid carryover in the suction gas, it is very
important to review piping layouts. The compressor is a vapor pump and can be damaged by
liquid refrigerant in the suction gas. Control schemes, accumulators, heat exchangers, defrost
cycles, etc. should be checked to ensure that only dry gas within the operating limits enters the
compressor suction.

The entering vapor temperature to the compressor should be 10°F superheated above the
refrigerant saturated suction temperature to ensure no liquid refrigerant is present in the suction
gas.

SECTION 1 INSTALLATION
Introduction
This section contains information and procedures for installing the GL Series screw compressor
package.
The GL Series screw compressor package is factory assembled, wired, and leak tested. Installation
consists primarily of establishing refrigerant, water and electrical services to the package. Rigging,
installation, field wiring and mounting of customer supplied motors, and field piping is the responsibility
of the contractor and/or customer.

E - Economized

This information, along with the FES contract number, is contained on the data label mounted on the
inside of the control panel door. When parts or service information are needed, the data from this label
should be included with the inquiry. There is a data plate located on the compressor that contains
information pertaining to the design of the compressor.
Job Site Inspection and Damage Claims
Cartons, boxes and all exposed components should be examined upon receipt at the job site. The
packing list should be checked to see that all listed components have been received.
Damage and shortage claims must be made by the consignee and the carrier should be notified
immediately so that an inspection and claim form can be completed. The FES Sales Administration
Department, York PA, should be notified of any damage or shortage claim.
Foundation
GL Series screw compressor packages are shipped mounted on wood skids, which must be removed
prior to installation. Since the screw compressor is internally balanced, no foundation mass is required
except that which is structurally required to handle the package weight. A level mounting surface is
required and the unit should be bolted to this surface after installation. Grouting may be necessary to
achieve satisfactory results. Elevated housekeeping pads are a good practice but are not required.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Document: GL-33
Revision: A
1 Effective: 04-08
Structural steel mounted units require grouting under the entire support base. Foundation floors or
elevated structures should be evaluated to determine that they do not have natural frequencies coincident
with compressor run speed or rotor pass gas pulsation frequencies. This is a separate analysis from
vibration transmission to adjacent structures.
Note: If the package is to be installed on a non-rigid foundation, specific isolation may be required.
Rigging, Moving and Skid Removal
The screw compressor package can be handled by crane or similar lifting device by placing lifting hooks
into the four (4) lifting lugs provided on the package. Adjustments to the rigging will be required to
allow for the package center of gravity, which can vary significantly if no motor is provided on the
package.
The package can be moved by forktruck using forks to push against and under the skids. Under no
circumstances should the forks be used to push against the oil separator, piping, legs, or compressor.
If the compressor package is lifted by crane the skids can be unbolted and removed prior to setting the
compressor on its foundation.
If the package is to be skidded into position the skids can be removed by using a 5 ton jack to lift one
end of the compressor package and unbolting the skid on that end. The skids should then be spread and
the compressor package lowered. Repeat this procedure for the other end.
Initial Installation
After the compressor package is in place it must be leveled by using a reliable bubble level on the
compressor mounting support angles to check both directions. This procedure was followed during the
initial assembly at the factory, and it will ensure the compressor package is properly positioned.
The suction strainer and discharge connection flanges are not to be used for leveling the package.
Factory mounted motors have been aligned, but alignment must be checked at startup.
Motor Mounting and Alignment for Field Mounted Motor
Shimless Motor Mounts
The screw compressor package is shipped with the shimless motor mounts attached to the pre-drilled
support angles.
The compressor hub of the coupling is mounted on the compressor shaft. The remainder of the coupling
is shipped loose.
Block and Shim Style Mounts
The screw compressor package is shipped with the motor support angles welded to the oil separator
support plates. The motor mounting blocks, shims, alignment bars with bolts, tie down bolts, lock
washers, flat washers, and shims are shipped loose. The motor mounting blocks are drilled and tapped.
The compressor hub of the coupling is mounted on the compressor shaft. The remainder of the coupling
is shipped loose.

Figure 1-1: Flexible Disc Spacer Coupling

Required Tools
The following tools are required in addition to common hand tools:
A. Dial indicator, accurate and readable to 0.001 inches, with clamps for attaching the indicator to
the coupling hubs.
B. Micrometer
C. Feeler gauges
D. Torque wrench
E. Metric hex bit socket (6mm, 8mm & 10mm)
Coupling Installation
This compressor package is supplied with a flexible disc style coupling. This is a spacer type coupling
consisting of three pieces, tow hubs and a center member. The center member can be removed and
installed without the need for special tools. The disc design allows for low flexing forces and high
overload capacity. The compressor hub is a unique clamped style design using a B-LOC locking
assembly installed on the I.D. of the hub. This device provides a frictional force on the compressor shaft
and will transmit the torque supplied by the motor. The motor hub uses a conventional key to transmit
torque.
The procedure for installing the coupling is as follows.
A. Clean hub bores and shafts. Remove any nicks or burrs. Measure the bore and shaft diameters
to assure proper fit.
B. The compressor hub has a B-LOC locking assembly installed on the I.D. of the hub. The
device is supplied lightly oiled and ready for installation. When reinstalling a used unit, make
sure that all slits are aligned and the screws, taper, shaft and bore contact areas are lightly
oiled. Do not use Molybdenum Disulfide (e.g., Molykote, Never-Seeze or similar
lubricants) in any Locking Assembly installation.
Document: GL-33
Revision: A
3 Effective: 04-08
C. Install key on motor shaft and install motor hub.
D. Thoroughly clean the compressor shaft (Do not use grease or spray lubricant on the shaft or
on the contact areas of the B-LOC device). Install compressor hub with B-LOC assembly
onto the compressor shaft. Locate compressor hub so the correct “C” dimension is maintained
(Reference Figure/Table 1-2). The B-LOC assembly should be installed such that the
tensioning screws are flush with the face of the hub flange.
E. The procedure for tightening the tension screws must be followed exactly as outlined
below, or serious damage can result. Hand tighten all screws and visually confirm the hub is
aligned correctly. Use torque wrench and set it approximately 5% higher than specified
tightening torque Ts. Tighten locking screws in either a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction using only ¼ turns (i.e. 90°) until ¼ turns can no longer be achieved. Continue to
apply overtorque for two more passes. Reset torque wrench to specified torque Ts and check
all locking screws. No screw should turn at this point, otherwise repeat overtorque for two
more passes.
F. Install center member by inserting bolts from center member side of flange. Be sure that the
flat washers are properly installed on the disc packs. Tighten bolts uniformly until torque Tb is
met.

Coupling Removal
A. Remove bolts holding the disc packs to the motor and compressor hubs.
B. Loosen the setscrew above keyway on motor hub and slide hub back far enough so the center
member (with disc packs attached) can be removed through the shaft ends. Once the center
member is removed, the motor hub can be removed though the shaft ends.
C. Extreme care must be used when removing the compressor hub. Refer to Figure 1-3 for the
following steps.
D. Remove the tensioning screws from the B-LOC locking assembly. Transfer the required
number of screws into the jacking holes of the clamp collar (Item 1).
E. Some screws will contact the center collar (Item 3) and will only go in half way. Other screws
will go in further and are used to release the inner clamping collar (Item 2).
F. Start by releasing collar (Item 1) by progressively tightening the jacking screws that are in half
way. The screws will appear to be tight after only one pass of tightening without any
noticeable separation of the clamp collar. This is normal – continue to apply torque in a
clockwise or counterclockwise manner until the clamp collar springs loose.
G. Release the center collar (Item 3) by repeating procedure outlined above for item 1. The
screws for this procedure are the ones that screw in deeper.
H. Once the clamping collars are fully released from the center collar, the coupling and B-LOC
assembly can be removed together (There is no need to remove the B-LOC cartridge from the
coupling hub).

Motor Mounting and Preliminary Alignment Procedure


A. Mount all four mounting blocks on the motor feet with the tube sleeve spacer inserted as
shown in Figure 1-6 or wrap the tie down bolts with 0.0625 inch shim stock. Install a 0.25
inch shim pack as shown and snug the tie-down bolt on each foot. Lift the motor and place it
on the motor support angles.
B. Remove the center spacer from the compressor coupling, if mounted. Mount the other
coupling half on the motor shaft. If difficulty is encountered while installing the hub, check
shaft and coupling hubs for burrs and fit key in both halves of the keyway. The key must have
a uniform tight fit in both the shaft and coupling hub keyway. DO NOT ATTEMPT to drive
either hub on either shaft because serious damage to the ball bearings may result.

C. Refer to Table 1-7 for motor and compressor shaft gap requirements. If the lengths of the
motor and compressor shafts are such that the center member can be removed at the shaft gap
shown in Table 1-7, the motor can be mounted based on the shaft gap dimension. If the center
member cannot be removed with the gap shown, the motor must be positioned so that the
coupling hubs can be moved on their respective shafts to allow for removal of the center member
without moving the compressor or motor. In such cases the shaft gap will be greater than the
dimension shown in Table 1-7. Minimum shaft engagement for the hubs must be at least 90% of
hub length.

D. Check motor height. If the motor is too high relative to the compressor, remove shims as
required. Four alignment brackets with bolts are provided. The brackets should be welded to
the motor support angle as shown in Figure 1-6. The alignment bracket will facilitate
positioning of the motor for angular alignment. All motor assemblies must have permanent
means of jacking the motors into position for vertical alignment.
E. Rough align for both parallel as well as angular alignment by using a dial indicator.
F. Once rough alignment is complete, weld the motor mounting blocks on the motor support
angle. Weld one block at the rear, then weld the diagonally opposite block. Next weld the
other rear block and then the remaining front block. Weld all four sides of the mounting block,
Document: GL-33
Revision: A
7 Effective: 04-08
welding approximately one inch at the corners. Weld one side at a time in the above sequence
as quickly as possible. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent distortion. Allow to cool to
room temperature. Dowelling of the motor is not required.
G. Remove the tie down bolts and the tube sleeve spacers or shim stock wrapping around the tie
down bolts. Install the tie down bolts again. Final alignment procedure must be performed
before the package is ready for operation.
Note: If shimless motor mounts are used, place motor onto mounts and follow the alignment
procedure only as outlined above. Adjustment of the shimless motor mounts is outlined in the
following section.
Shimless Motor Mounts
Shimless motor mounts are available for all GL Series compressor packages. Mounting is similar to
conventional block motor mounts except that the shimless motor mounts are bolted to the angle, not
welded. Each shimless motor mount has provisions for jacking the motor horizontally and vertically.
Horizontal adjustment is accomplished by turning the lateral adjustment bolts as required.
Vertical adjustment is accomplished by first removing the top hold down nut, and loosening the bottom.
Once this is done, a metric wrench can be applied to the top of the bolt. Turning the bolt clockwise will
raise the motor, while turning the bolt counter-clockwise will lower it. One-quarter turn will raise or
lower the motor foot 0.010 inches.
Note: An extension bar may be required for use on the wrench to exert enough force to raise the
motor.

Figure 1-8: Shimless Motor Mounting (SMM)

Coupling Final Alignment Procedure


To ensure satisfactory performance and life from the compressor shaft seal and the motor and
compressor bearings, a final alignment procedure must be performed. Whether the coupling was aligned
at the factory or field installed, it must have a final alignment done after the package is installed and
piped. Improper piping procedures can cause stress on the compressor casing making alignment
impossible. The coupling must have a final alignment check prior to start up and again after a few hours
of operation. This "HOT" check after several hours of operation is required. Another check should be
made after one week of operation. The procedure used for final alignment is as follows:
Document: GL-33
Revision: A
Effective: 04-08 8
A. Remove the coupling guard. Check the runout of the compressor hub. With a dial indicator
base attached to the compressor, and the dial indicator reading off the hub rim, rotate the
coupling assembly 180 degrees. Note the runout. Rotate the assembly another 180 degrees to
the original position. Adjust the dial indicator to read the hub face. Rotate the assembly and
note the runout. Repeat this procedure for the motor hub. A runout in excess of 0.003 inches
should be reported to the FES factory.
B. Check for motor soft feet. With the indicator base attached to the motor support angles, and
the dial indicator reading off the top of a motor foot, loosen the tie down bolt and note the
indicator reading. Any movement in excess of 0.002 inches must be corrected using shims if
mounting blocks are used, or by adjusting the vertical adjustment bolt if shimless motor
mounts are used. Repeat this procedure with the other three feet to ensure that each motor foot
is in solid contact with the base.
NOTE: BE SURE TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF SHIMS USED. Example: If a 0.005 inch, a
0.003 inch, and a 0.002 inch were used, then replace them with one shim 0.010 inch thick.
C. With the coupling assembled, mount the dial indicator on the compressor hub and take an
indicator reading on the coupling hub as shown in Figure 1-9. Due to the span of the spacer
coupling, indicator sag may be significant, and the indicator readings must be corrected to
include the sag.
1. To eliminate confusion, turn the coupling in only one direction while taking readings.
2. Take five readings, 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, and 360 degrees on both
the periphery (for parallel) and face (for angular). The indicator should return to its original
position after the coupling has been rotated 360 degrees.
NOTE: Sleeve bearing motors or any motor with measurable play must be monitored with a dial
indicator to ensure that no motor shaft axial movement takes place when face readings are taken. If
the motor is fitted with sleeve bearings, the motor's magnetic center must be determined from the
manufacturer's recommendations or by scribing the uncoupled motor's running position at a suitable
place on the shaft. The shaft must be held on its magnetic center when aligning the motor. This can
be done by clamping the two hubs with a 5/8 inch diameter all thread rod and double nuts.

D. Align the motor so that the total indicator reading (TIR) on the periphery and the face does not
exceed 0.002 inches misalignment. With reference to Figure 1-10, the following applies to all
screw compressor applications.
1. Align the motor first for angular in elevation. This alignment is adjusted with shims to
provide a maximum 0.002 inch TIR at the top.
2. Align the motor next for parallel in elevation. This alignment is also adjusted with shims
and should be a maximum 0.002 inch higher than the compressor.
3. Align the motor angular in plan next.
4. Finally, align the motor parallel in plan.
E. Record the alignment readings.
F. Verify that the distance between the coupling hub faces ("C" from Figure/Table 1-2) is correct.
Also the shaft gap should be checked to be in accordance with Table 1-7.
NOTE: When the motor is field mounted the customer is responsible for aligning the motor as
prescribed on pages 2 through 8. The FES representative will check the final alignment before
starting the compressor package to ensure the motor was aligned properly.

Figure 1-10: Types of Coupling Misalignment

G. Run the compressor at least two hours to allow the package to reach its normal operating
temperature. Stop the compressor and immediately check the alignment (keep the coupling
installed). The motor must be aligned so that the TIR on the periphery and face does not
exceed 0.002 inch with the package at its normal operating temperature. This check will be
done by an authorized FES Service Representative at start up.
H. Install the coupling guard.

Storage and Holding Charge
GL Series compressor packages are shipped with a holding charge of dry nitrogen to prevent
contaminants from entering the package following the factory pressure test and evacuation. Since the
package is sealed, it is suitable for short-term storage before installation. Caution should be exercised
when opening the package to safely release the nitrogen charge.
When packages are stored, they are to be kept in a clean dry location. If packages are to be stored for
prolonged periods of time the package should be checked to be sure a positive nitrogen pressure is
maintained. The factory should be consulted for specific recommendations when extended storage
(greater than two months) is expected.
Care should also be used to protect the microprocessor and sensors from damage during storage.
Compressor Oil
The oil charge shipped with the compressor package was selected to meet the application requirements
as supplied at the time of order. Questions concerning suitability can be answered by referring to FES
Document ENG-5 "FES Refrigeration Oils-Properties and Applications" and Document ENG-6 "FES
Recommended Oil Specifications."
Oil Charge
GL Series compressor packages have sight glasses for observing oil level. The normal fill level is to the
top of the upper sight glass. For separators with two sight glasses, the normal operating level is the
center of the lower sight glass. For separators with three sight glasses, the operating level is the center
of the middle sight glass. There are two methods for adding oil to the oil separator. If the compressor
package has had the refrigerant charge removed, the oil fill can be opened to atmosphere and oil poured
or pumped into the oil separator. If the compressor is charged with refrigerant, a pressure type pump
must be used to add oil. This can be accomplished by attaching a refrigerant duty pressure hose to the
oil charging connection, located on top of the oil separator, and using a pressure type pump to pump oil
into the separator.
Devices used to trap and return oil must be filled with oil prior to compressor package operation. The
same pressure type pump and hose can be used for this.
The compressor package also has an oil level sight glass located near the bottom of the separator on the
discharge end of the package. This sight glass should remain empty during normal operation. If an oil
level is observed during operation, it is an indication of liquid refrigerant carryover or a malfunction in
the line returning oil to the compressor and primary side of the separator.
The approximate oil charge for the compressor packages is shown in Table 1-11 below.

Table 1-11: Approximate Oil Charge


Oil Heaters
Standard GL Series compressor packages are equipped with two 1200 watt oil heaters mounted on the
oil sump. These heaters are sized to maintain a safe minimum oil temperature during a shut down cycle
in normal indoor ambient conditions. If the package is installed in an environment other than heated
indoors, these heaters will not provide sufficient heat to allow the oil to reach a safe compressor start
temperature. These low ambient conditions require special consideration and the FES factory should be
consulted before installation.
The heaters operate only when the compressor is in the off cycle. The heaters are thermostatically
controlled and are energized any time 120 volt control voltage is applied to the package and the
compressor is not operating. To prevent the heaters from being energized, 15 amp circuit breakers 2CB
and 3CB must be switched to the off position.
NOTE: Do not apply control power without oil in the oil separator unless oil heater circuit breakers
are switched off. Failure to observe this precaution will result in the destruction of the heater
elements.
Liquid Injection Oil Cooling
High pressure oil is used in the screw compressor to lubricate the bearings and to cool the compressor
discharge gas. The oil also seals the space between the rotors to prevent "blow-back" and provides
muffling of the noise caused by discharging gas. By injecting high pressure refrigerant liquid into the
compressor, the gas-oil mixture is cooled by the latent heat of the refrigerant liquid, thus omitting the
need for a separate externally cooled oil cooler.
The proper operation of liquid injection oil cooling is dependent on having an uninterrupted supply of
high pressure liquid refrigerant available at all times. Several methods of ensuring this are available.
Whatever method is used, the liquid refrigerant delivery line must be adequately sized and the liquid
source must retain a reserve liquid supply beyond other system needs so that an additional five minute
liquid refrigerant supply is available for liquid injection feed.
If the system condensing pressure is less than 100 psig or greater than 225 psig the application should be
referred to the FES factory.
There are three suggested methods for meeting the criteria set forth in the proceeding paragraphs. The
first of these is shown in Figure 1-12. This arrangement uses a float switch to close the main plant

Document: GL-33
Revision: A
Effective: 04-08 12
liquid solenoid valve if the receiver level drops below the necessary level to supply the compressor
liquid injection feed requirements.
The second method utilizes a separate liquid injection receiver that has been sized to maintain a liquid
level sufficient to maintain a five-minute supply for compressor oil cooling. This method is illustrated
in Figure 1-13.
The third arrangement uses a receiver with a second liquid injection feed dip tube, located below the
main plant supply dip tube. The compressor will receive a liquid injection supply even after the main
system supply is below its minimum operating level. This arrangement is shown in Figure 1-14.
The proper line size for delivery of the liquid injection supply is very important. Also the liquid
injection supply volume must be adequate. Table 1-15 provides the recommended supply volume and
line sizes. The supply volume is based on a nominal five minutes supply of liquid to the compressor.
The liquid injection oil cooling piping on the compressor package is self contained and needs only to be
connected to a source of high pressure liquid as described in the proceeding paragraphs. The specially
charged thermostatic expansion valve bulb must be installed in thermowell provided on the compressor
discharge (being careful not to damage the connecting capillary tube and sensing bulb). Refer to Figure
1-16 for typical compressor package liquid injection piping.

Figure 1-16: Typical GL Series Liquid Injection Arrangements

TX Valve Liquid Injection Cooling


For single high stage compressor applications, the thermal expansion valve is externally equalized to a
predetermined constant pressure intermediate to the discharge and suction pressure. This pressure is
maintained by the use of an outlet pressure regulating valve. A small amount of discharge gas is
metered through the pressure regulator and returned to suction.
For dual high stage compressor packages, one outlet pressure regulator is used in conjunction with the
two TX valves to provide a source of constant pressure at the TX valve equalizer port. Discharge gas is
used in the same manner as on a single high stage compressor package.
For booster applications, the high pressure gas connection must be taken from a high side source. It is
the same as single high stage in all other aspects.
For dual booster compressor arrangements, the high pressure gas connection is taken from a high side
source. It is the same as dual high stage in all of the aspects.
For two-stage compressor packages, only the high stage compressor requires liquid injection. If the
booster can run by itself, liquid injection is required for the booster.
NOTE: Some compressor sizes employ a dual TX valve arrangement for liquid injection feed. This
arrangement varies depending on compressor size. Piping schematics supplied with the compressor
package, along with the Operation section of this manual, should be referred to for operating details.

Document: GL-33
Revision: A
Effective: 04-08 16
IntelliSOC™ Liquid Injection Cooling
IntelliSOC™ liquid injection does not require a constant pressure source like a TX valve. IntelliSOC™
provides the same function as a TX valve by only monitoring the compressor discharge temperature.
The control panel will send a 4-20mA signal to the IntelliSOC™ control valve to regulate the discharge
temperature.
Thermosiphon Oil Cooling
Thermosiphon oil cooling utilizes liquid refrigerant from the condenser to remove heat from the oil.
Liquid refrigerant is fed by gravity to the oil cooler where it is vaporized by the warm oil. The
refrigerant vapor returns to the condenser where it is recondensed. The oil heat is rejected directly to the
condenser and therefore requires no external cooling fluid or compressor capacity.
Many variations are possible in constructing a suitable thermosiphon oil cooling system, but the basic
system will always include a liquid refrigerant receiver or reservoir at condensing temperature and
pressure and a shell and tube oil cooler (400 psig DWP shell side and 300 psig tube side). A typical
arrangement for thermosiphon oil cooling is shown in Figure 1-17.
The following are general guidelines based on good engineering practice and experience. Every
installation is unique and therefore will require specific design consideration. It is the responsibility of
the system designer and/or installer to determine how these and other guidelines shall apply.
NOTE: Refer to the FES Engineering Data Sheet for the oil cooler heat of rejection (OCHR) specific
to the applicable model and design operating conditions.
A. The oil cooler must be provided with at least a five minute uninterrupted liquid refrigerant
supply, independent of all other system liquid requirements and regardless of system operating
status. The receiver should be sized such that it will operate at a level of half full at the design
minimum supply volume (see Table 1-18). It is strongly recommended that an independent
auxiliary receiver (as shown in Figure 1-17) be installed to provide liquid refrigerant to the oil
cooler. This vessel should be designed and installed in accordance with ASME, ASHRAE, and
IIAR codes or standards. The auxiliary receiver shall be fitted with a dual relief valve
assembly. A drain connection should be provided at the lowest level in the vessel.

Revision: A
17 Effective: 04-08
Figure 1-17: Typical Thermosiphon Oil Cooler Piping

B. If isolation valves are installed in the refrigerant lines to or from the oil cooler, then a suitable
pressure relief device must be incorporated so as to safely relieve excess pressure from the
refrigerant-side of the cooler due to hydrostatic pressure, fire, or some other abnormal
condition.
C. Total net positive liquid supply head to the cooler must be sufficient to overcome pressure
losses in the cooler, pipes, valves, and fittings at the design circulation rate. The oil coolers
have been designed such that six to ten feet of head is sufficient for most applications if lines
are properly sized.
NOTE: Excessive high head (over 25 feet) can cause elevated saturation temperatures resulting in
performance loss. On such installations, a throttling valve must be installed on the inlet piping.
D. As a general rule, the liquid supply line from the condenser to the receiver should be sized for a
maximum velocity of 100 ft/min (see Table 1-19). The vapor return line from the receiver to
the condenser should be sized for a maximum pressure loss of 0.2 psid/100ft for R-717 and
0.15 psid/100ft for R-22 (see Table 1-20). The liquid supply line to the thermosiphon oil
cooler and the liquid/vapor return line from the cooler should be sized per Table 1-21.

Economizer
The economizer option is not intended for use on part load or unsteady load applications. When applied
to full steady load applications it provides liquid subcooling with little compressor capacity or bhp
penalty. However, below 60% to 70% of compressor capacity the economizer is ineffective and
requires additional controls for operation. The economizer option should not be applied to systems with
widely fluctuating loads or frequent defrost cycles. Two typical economizer systems are illustrated in
Figure 1-22.

GFORCE CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION GUIDE


NOTE: This section must be read in its entirety prior to proceeding with the installation of the
control panel.
The following instructions are intended for use by qualified, competent personnel, experienced in the
installation and wiring of electrical control panels. This installation guide provides the basic instructions
which must be followed when installing the GForce Control Panel. It is the responsibility of the installer
to comply with the requirements of all codes and standards applicable to the job site and facility, and all
applicable State and Local laws, rules, and regulations when installing this control panel.

Document: GL-33
Revision: A
21 Effective: 04-08
CAUTION: Failure to install the panel in accordance with the instructions contained in this guide
will void all warranties for this product, and may result in significant damage to the control panel
and/or the associated equipment. In addition, improper installation may result in serious personal
injury or electrocution.
A. Control Power Wiring
The gauge of the main power wiring to the panel (L1 and 102) must be sized to meet or exceed the
values listed below.
GForce Single
(w/one 1200W oil heater) ....................................................................... #10 AWG
GForce Single
(w/two 1200W oil heaters)...................................................................... #10 AWG
GForce Single
(w/three 1200W oil heaters)...................................................................... #8 AWG
GForce Dual
(w/three 1200W oil heaters)...................................................................... #8 AWG
NOTE: A separate ground wire is also required for each panel and must be at least #12 AWG
copper.
B. Control Power Supply
FES recommends the 115 VAC (+ 10 volts) control power be supplied from a separate control power
transformer sized and installed in accordance with FES Field Wiring and Starter Specification ENG-3.
The neutral of the secondary (115 VAC) side of the control voltage transformer must be grounded. This
ground should run to the same source (ground bus) as the microprocessor.
Never run control wiring in conduit or raceways containing power wiring (i.e. motor supply leads, 3-
phase supplies, etc.)
C. Grounding
On compressor packages, the compressor motor must be grounded per FES Field Wiring and Starter
Specification ENG-3 using a separate copper conductor sized in accordance with all electrical codes
applicable to the job site. Conduit grounds are not acceptable.
The oil pump motor must also be grounded per FES Specification ENG-3 using a separate copper
conductor sized in accordance with all applicable electrical codes. Conduit grounds are not acceptable.
The GForce control panel must be grounded to the same ground or to the voltage transformer using a
separate single uninterrupted copper conductor sized per the power wiring guidelines listed above the
installed per the applicable FES field wiring diagrams. Conduit grounds are not acceptable.
The starter panel and the control voltage transformer must be grounded to a true earth ground (i.e. one
supplied by the utility company). A separate copper conductor is recommended.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 1-23 for the correct grounding method. Figures 1-24 and 1-25 are examples
of typical improper grounding techniques.

D. General
DO NOT use the control panel as a junction box. The only field wires that should enter the panel are
those required for its operation.
DO NOT mount any contactors, switches, or any other inductive loads on or in the control panel.
Any inductive devices (solenoids, contactors, etc.) installed within 15 ft. wire run and connected to the
GForce, must be suppressed with a properly installed Metal Oxide Varistor or MOV (FES Part No. 725-
000330-000). The MOV should be installed directly to the leads of the device and as close to the device
as possible as shown in Figure 1-26.
All AC connections should enter the panel as close to their termination point as possible. AC wiring
must be prevented from making direct or incidental contact with the circuit board or any of the low
voltage connection cables. FES GForce panels are designed with most, if not all, of the control voltage
connections located at the top of the panel. All field wiring should be contained in the top and left
portion of the panel and away from potentially sensitive areas surrounding the General Purpose I/O
board.
Any additional DC devices (e.g. process temperature input) must be connected using shielded cable with
the shield grounded at the device end only.
All pressure transducer should have their shield-wire cut off.

Compressor
The FES GL Series screw compressor is a positive displacement, helical-rotor axial flow compressor
designed for use with high pressure refrigerants. The compressor contains the following major features.
A. The compressor casting is high grade low porosity cast iron precision machined for minimal
clearance about the periphery of the rotors.
B. Two intermeshing male and female rotors machined from steel. The male rotor has five lobes and
drives the female rotor which has six lobes.
C. Duplex angular contact ball bearings and a balance piston are used to handle thrust loads. Radial
bearings are steel backed babbit lined sleeve bearings.
D. The mechanical shaft seal is a single carbon seal lubricated by supply oil which is cooled and
filtered.
E. Capacity control from 10% to 100% using a slide valve assembly.
F. Shaft rotation is CLOCKWISE facing the compressor shaft.
Compressor Lubricating System
The lubricating system of the GL Series compressor package performs the following major functions:
A. Provides lubrication to the bearings and mechanical shaft seal.
B. Provides motive force to move the unloader piston.
C. Provides oil to the balance piston which adds to the life of the bearings.
D. Provides compressor cooling.
E. Quiets compressor noise and reduces vibration.
F. Creates an oil seal between the rotors preventing rotor contact and gas bypassing.
Oil for the compressor bearings, shaft seal, and capacity control is supplied by an oil pump. Oil from
the separator is delivered through a strainer to the pump suction where it is pumped through an oil filter
to the oil header to be delivered to the compressor. Injection oil is supplied to the compressor by
positive gas differential pressure. Injection oil is split from the pumped oil after the strainer and before
the pump suction. A differential pressure regulator is utilized to control oil pressure to bearings, seal,
and capacity control by returning overfeed to the oil separator. The regulator reference location is
located near the compressor to minimize piping losses on the compressor oil pressure. If external oil
cooling is used, the pump pulls the oil through the cooler before pumping it through the oil filter.
Injection oil is diverted from the main compressor flow after the cooler and before the pump.
Compressor Oil Separating System
Because GL Series compressors use oil to cool, seal and lubricate, oil becomes mixed with the
refrigerant gas and must be separated from the refrigerant stream before entering the rest of the
refrigerating system. FES uses a highly efficient two stage oil separator design that removes almost all
of the oil from the refrigerant. The first stage removes over 99% of the entrained oil and acts as a
reservoir for the oil pump. Vertical separator designs have a stainless steel mesh pad in the first stage.
The refrigerant gas entrained oil mist is separated in the second stage. The second stage utilizes
coalescing elements to agglomerate the oil mist into droplets which can be accumulated. The oil is then
removed via a line from the secondary side of the separator to a port on the suction strainer. The rate of
return of the oil from the secondary side is controlled by a needle type regulating valve.

Document: GL-2
Revision: F
Effective: 09-10 2
The oil separator is an FES exclusive design with a guarantee on oil usage. Two or three sight glasses
are provided to ascertain oil level in the first stage. The second stage is provided with a manway to
allow service on the separator. A sight glass is provided to determine oil level in the secondary side.
This sight glass should remain empty during normal operation. If an oil level is maintained while
operating then the oil return system or the compressor are in need of service. The Maintenance section,
Section 5, of this manual should be referred to for instructions. See Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2.

Compressor Oil Cooling Systems


The GL Series compressor packages can be equipped with various oil cooling arrangements. Among
these are liquid injection or externally cooled by a water cooled oil cooler or by a thermosiphon oil
cooler. Oil cooling is provided to maintain oil at a constant temperature range as recommended in Table
2-1. The cooling systems are self controlled and automatically adjust for compressor loading and
unloading.
Single Port Liquid Injection Oil Cooling
The single port liquid injection arrangement is designed to deliver refrigerant to one factory determined
liquid injection port on the compressor. The port is selected based on design conditions so that optimum
performance is provided during operation. The functional description of each case is is described below,
and illustrated in Figure 2-3.
For case 1, the liquid solenoid valve (3) is opened when the compressor is operating. This allows
refrigerant liquid feed to the thermal expansion control valve (5) so that the compressor discharge and
oil temperature can be controlled. The control valve (5) has a sensing bulb (9) inserted into the
compressor discharge gas stream that causes the valve to modulate the amount of refrigerant introduced
into the compressor. As the oil cooling load changes due to changing system requirements, the control
valve (5) modulates to maintain constant discharge and oil temperatures.
Case 2 operates in the same manner as case 1, except a refrigerant bypass line and hand control valve
(B) are supplied. This bypass line is supplied in cases where the oil cooling load is slightly greater than
the available capacity of the automatic control valve (5). Because the excess load does not warrant a
Document: GL-2
Revision: F
Effective: 09-10 4
larger or second control valve, a bypass is used. The bypass is normally open and the automatic control
valve (5) is allowed to modulate to control the major portion of the heat load.
Case 3 is the same as case 1, except two control valves (5 and 10) are used in parallel to provide
refrigerant feed control to the liquid injection cooling for the compressor. The dual arrangement is used
because one valve could not provide enough capacity or could not cover the wide range of cooling
requirements without performing erratically.
Case 4 is the same as case 3, except that a bypass is provided. The bypass performs the same function
as explained for case 2. The bypass is open for normal operation.
Dual Port Liquid Injection Oil Cooling
Because it is possible to operate at different suction conditions to suit changes in system operating
requirements, a choice of two liquid injection ports is available so that compressor performance is
maximized. As illustrated in Figure 2-4, the operation is the same as discussed for single port operation
(refer to previous cases 1 through 4 for operational details), except that a manual selection of liquid
injection port must be made to match the suction operating level. A change in liquid injection port
selection is necessary only if the compressor is expected to run for extended periods of time at a
different than usual operating condition.
The two liquid injection ports are H1 (Low Vi) and H2 (High Vi).

IntelliSOCTM Liquid Injection Cooling


The IntelliSOCTM valve station uses a motorized control valve in lieu of the conventional Sporlan
thermostatic expansion valve. Discharge temperature is sensed by a temperature probe located in the
compressor discharge pipe. Refer to Figure 2-5 for an operational schematic. The control panel reads
the temperature and sends a 4-20mA signal to the IntelliSOCTM control valve. The valve will modulate
automatically to maintain desired temperature. Single and dual port operation is the same as for TX
valve stations. Follow the procedure below to set up the IntelliSOCTM Valve for operation.

Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Cooling
Compressor models 1025GL, 1210GL, and 1435GL high stage will have either a Liquid Injection Valve
Station similar to Figure 2-3, case 3, (Double Sporlan TX Valve), IntelliSOC™, or will have a high flow
Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station. The Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station can be
identified by the name “Jordan Valve” on the actuator nameplate (See Figure 2-8, item 3).
For the Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station, the liquid solenoid valve (1) is opened when the
compressor is operating. This allows refrigerant liquid feed to the Jordan Valve Temperature Regulator
(2) which controls the compressor discharge and oil temperature. The Jordan Valve (2), has a sensing
bulb (4) inserted into the oil separator in contact with the discharge gas stream. An increase in
temperature will begin to vaporize the liquid fill in the sensing bulb and create a pressure on the
actuator. The actuating pressure will modulate the valve until temperature setpoint is reached. The
Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station does not require pilot pressure to assist the actuator. Both
valve stations are piped to the H1 (Low Vi) compressor port.

Figure 2-8: Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Oil Cooling

Outlet Pressure Regulating Valve Adjustment


To adjust the outlet pressure regulating valve (OPRV), install an accurate pressure gauge downstream of
the outlet pressure regulating valve in the pressure tap provided. A throttling valve is provided
downstream of the outlet pressure regulating valve and should be initially set ¼ turn open. Set the
OPRV so the gauge reads 60 – 70 psig (to increase oil temperature, turn the adjustment clockwise; to
decrease oil temperature, turn the adjustment counter-clockwise).
Compressor Hydraulic System (Fixed VI)
The compressor uses hydraulic power to operate the capacity control system. When the compressor is
fully loaded, the slide valve will be against the slide stop. Unloading starts when the slide valve is
moved away from the slide stop thereby creating an opening for gas to bypass back to suction. High
pressure oil is used to load and unload the compressor.

Document: GL-2
Revision: F
Effective: 09-10 10
Movement of the slide valve is accomplished by pressurizing one side of the hydraulic piston and
venting the other. The functional description of loading and unloading is described below and illustrated
in Figure 2-9.

Figure 2-9: Compressor Hydraulic System (Fixed VI)

Loading: To load the compressor, solenoids Y1 and Y4 are energized. Oil is ported through the
load/unload assembly to port L on the compressor, allowing compressor connection K to vent back to
compressor port G that is at suction pressure.
Unloading: To unload the compressor, solenoids Y2 and Y3 are energized. Oil is ported through the
load/unload assembly to port K on the compressor, allowing compressor connection L to vent back to
compressor port G that is at suction pressure.
Metering valves S5 and S7 adjust the load rate. S7 is a coarse adjustment and is generally maintained 2
turns open from its closed state. S5 is the fine adjustment used to increase or decrease the rate of
loading. S7 can be opened further, if required. Metering valve S6 adjusts the unload rate. The time to
fully load the compressor and the time to fully unload the compressor should be approximately 30-60
seconds. Refer to Figure 2-10 for valve and solenoid locations.
NOTE: Protective cap must be removed to adjust metering valve. Replace cap after adjustment is
made.

Compressor Hydraulic System (Variable VI)
The compressor uses hydraulic power to operate the capacity control system and the Vi control system.
Movement of the capacity control slide valve (primary slide) is accomplished by pressurizing one side
of the hydraulic piston and venting the other. Movement of Vi control slide (secondary slide) is
accomplished by pressurizing or venting the Vi control piston. Both the primary slide and the secondary
slide movement are controlled by the control panel (refer to the Control Panel Operation Section of this
manual). The functional description of the capacity control and Vi control is described below and
illustrated in Figure 2-11.
Loading: To load the compressor, solenoids Y1 and Y4 are energized. Oil is ported through the
capacity control block to port L on the compressor, allowing compressor connection K to vent back to
compressor port G that is at suction pressure.
Unloading: To unload the compressor, solenoids Y2 and Y3 are energized. Oil is ported through the
capacity control block to port K on the compressor, allowing compressor connection L to vent back to
compressor port G that is at suction pressure. Metering valves S5 and S7 adjust the load rate. S7 is
generally maintained at 2 turns open from its closed state. It can be opened further if required to
increase the rate of loading. Metering valve S6 adjusts the unload rate. The time to fully load the
compressor and the time to fully unload the compressor should be approximately 30-60 seconds. Refer
to Figure 2-12 for valve and solenoid locations.

Figure 2-11: Compressor Hydraulic System

Document: GL-2
Revision: F
Effective: 09-10 12
Vi Control: To increase the Vi, solenoid valve Y6 is energized. Oil is ported through the Vi control
block to port M on the compressor, moving the secondary block in the direction of increasing Vi. The
Vi is decreased when solenoid valve Y5 is energized and oil is vented back to the compressor through
port G, allowing the secondary slide to move in the direction of decreasing Vi. Metering valves S24 and
S25 are used to adjust the speed of the secondary slide. These valves should be adjusted so that the rate
to fully increase and decrease the Vi is approximately 45 seconds.

General Information
Introduction
This manual provides detailed information for operating the FES GForce™ compressor control panel installed on
FES G and X Series compressor packages. The FES GForce™ control panel is a computer based system that
continuously monitors the compressor package operation for optimum performance and reliability. Refer to MCP-
209 for general GForce™ Control Panel information including hardware description, historical data collection and
service functions.

The front of the control panel features a 15” full color LCD with a resistive touch screen as the user interface. The
Emergency Stop switch is wired directly to both the Compressor Motor and Oil Pump Motor starters as well as to
an input on the controller. The Emergency Stop switch should not be used during normal operation to stop the
compressor. Power for the panel computer can only be turned off at a breaker inside the panel.

Figure 1 GForce™ Touch Screen with Overlay

The panel operates in one of three modes: Graphical, Tabular and Classic. Graphical Mode displays an image of
the compressor package. Data is displayed in groups on those images relating to the physical location of the
instruments on the compressor package. Tabular mode displays all of the current instrument readings, digital I/O
states, operating and alarm parameters, alarms, shutdowns and operating modes all on one screen. Classic
Mode displays Suction Pressure, Discharge Pressure, Oil Pressure and Slide Valve Position on analog gauges
with Compressor control buttons and indicators.

Historical Data can be displayed in either tabular or graphical formats. System manuals and drawings are
available on-screen using an embedded PDF viewer.

Operating parameter settings can be saved to and recalled from a removable USB memory device to allow
greater operating flexibility. Software update utilities are included on the panel, program updates are handled
through the USB port.

All of the features and functions of the control panel are available remotely via an Ethernet connection. The
display on the remote computer is an exact duplicate of the local screen.

OPERATING DATA
The Operating Data Frame (Figure 8) shows important analog data and status information so the user can easily
monitor compressor operation. This frame is read-only, data cannot be modified from this frame.

Figure 9 GM Vi Slide Position

Figure 8 Operating Data Frame


Figure 10 Slide Valve Maximum

The current control variable is displayed in large numerals just below the communications indicator. Slide valve
load and unload activity is indicated with and arrow graphic showing 'LD' and 'UL'. A graphic representing the
current position of the slide valve and Vi slide(if this is a variable Vi GM machine, Figure 9) is shown to the left
of the Load/Unload status indicator. If the slide valve is prevented from going to its minimum or maximum by a
parameter setting, an indicator on the bar will appear at the limit (Figure 10). While the compressor is operating,
overload conditions are signaled by the appearance of 'Discharge Pressure', 'Low Suction', or 'Motor Current' in
the upper left corner of the frame. During an overload condition, the compressor will automatically limit loading
of the slide valve, or unload the slide valve, if necessary to prevent a shutdown. 'Discharge Pressure' will
appear during a high discharge pressure overload. 'Low Suction' will appear during a low suction pressure
overload, while operating in process temperature control. 'Motor Current' will appear during a high motor
current overload. The first line of data indicates the current capacity control mode and setpoint. The amount of
anti-recycle time remaining for the compressor motor and oil drain timers are displayed next. Elapsed
compressor motor run time and the kWh accumulated by the compressor motor are monitored and displayed.
The factory configured compressor type and model number are next. For Variable Vi compressors the model
number must be set as described in the Variable Vi control section on page 52. The next line shows the
refrigerant used for control panel calculations. The Operating Mode for the compressor is used to display the
current compressor configuration (booster or high stage). The next two items are the Vi control mode and the
type of compressor motor starter, fixed or variable speed. Variable Vi and variable speed Compressor Motor
Drive are available as factory configured options. The status of the Power Fail Reset is shown as the last item in
this group. This is enabled or disabled based on an Operating Parameter. Project and program revision

Transducer Calibrations

GEA FES recommends that transducer calibrations be checked at least once annually.
Calibrations must also be verified whenever a GPIO board is service or replaced.
CALIBRATION OF A PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (TD):
1. Ensure that the control panel is in Service mode and the compressor is
Stopped.
2. Touch the desired pressure entry to bring up the calibration keypad.
3. Attach a calibrated gauge (or digital multimeter attachment) to the
appropriate pressure transducer's service valve.
4. Remove the service valve's cover and open the service valve.
5. Read the actual pressure on the gauge or digital multimeter.
7. Enter the actual pressure on the keypad. Minimum and maximum limits
are shown at the bottom of the keypad. If the measured pressure is outside
these limits it is a sign that the transducer is damaged, miswired, or of the
wrong type. Range limits are the current electrical reading ±10% of the
transducer's range.
Figure 16 Calibration Keypad

8. Press the [Enter] key.


9. Calibration of this pressure transducer is complete

CALIBRATION OF A TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCER (T):


Standard FES temperature probes are Integrated Circuit Temperature Detectors (ICTDs). ICTDs should
not be confused with other types of temperature measuring devices such as RTDs, thermocouples or
thermistors because they are not equivalent to any of them. An ICTD temperature probe consists of an
electronic device that is imbedded in the probe which allows a very small current to pass that is
proportional to the temperature of the device. The probe can be calibrated using a single point calibration
method because the rate of change of the current passed through the ICTD vs. the temperature is linear
(the slope is constant).

1. Ensure that the control panel is in Service mode and the compressor is Stopped.
2. Touch the desired temperature entry to bring up the calibration keypad.
3. Locate the desired temperature probe on the package and open its electrical box.
4. Loosen the screw that retains the hold down tab. Rotate the hold down tab out of the way.
5. Slide the temperature probe out of its well and immerse it in an ice water bath with a calibrated
thermometer (or digital multimeter attachment). The ice water should be predominantly ice with just
enough water to cover the Ice. The temperature of the ice and water mixture will approach the triple
point of the water (~32.02°F/0.01°C).
6. Allow both to stabilize in the ice water bath (approximately 3 minutes). Agitate to reduce settling time.
7. Read the actual temperature on the thermometer or digital multimeter. If a calibrated measurement
device is not available, the channel should be calibrated to 32.0°F/0.0°C once the reading has
stabilized.
8. Enter the actual temperature on the keypad. Minimum and maximum limits are shown at the bottom
of the keypad. If the measured temperature is outside of these range limits it is a sign that the

transducer is damaged, miswired, or of the wrong type. Range limits are the current electrical
reading ±40.0F°/22.2C°.
9. Press the [Enter] key.
10. Calibration of this temperature transducer is complete.

SLIDE VALVE CALIBRATION SCREENS


GForce™ Revisions 8.0 and later
A single screen is used and the capacity control buttons on the OmniView
are not used.
Revisions prior to 8.0
Two different calibration screens are used to calibrate the slide valve. If
calibrating from the OmniView use the [Load] and [Unload] keys on that
main window to move the slide valve into position. When calibrating from
the Analog Data window, [Load] and [Unload] keys are provided on the
calibration window. In these older revisions the [OK] button must be
touched to save setting and close the window.

Figure 17 Slide Valve Calibration

In early 2011 a new FES introduced a new slide valve position sensor. This
sensor includes a hardware calibration feature on the position sensor. The
sensor should be calibrated before calibrating the GForce™ Panel. If the
machine is equipped with the older black slide valve position sensor, skip to
GForce™ Control Panel Slide Valve Input Calibration. There are several
versions of this indicator, if the ‘Batch no’ on the label does not begin with ‘1.2’
contact the FES Service Department for assistance.

Figure 18 Slide Valve Position Sensor

Notes:
Open load/unload needle valves fully (rate valves) prior to beginning the calibration. Return load/unload needle
valves to their original positions after calibration to ensure proper slide valve movement.

When the indicator is initially powered, the LED indicators will not light up for several seconds, this is normal.
Allow the indicator to warm up for at least one minute prior to starting calibration.

All LED activity in the slide valve indicator will automatically cease approximately five minutes after power was
applied to the indicator. A momentary press of the pushbutton turns LEDs back on and resets the five minute
timer.

Green LED Activity (Valid only after the calibration has been completed):
• Flash at ½ second intervals at slide valve <1%
• ON steady at slide valve >99%
• OFF at slide valve positions between 1% and 99%

Suction Pressure Parameters
This group displays all of the parameters associated with Suction Pressure Control. These parameters can also
be found in the Operating and Alarm Parameters frames on the OmniView. The current actual Suction Pressure is
displayed at the top of the window. A red dot icon indicates a parameter that if exceeded will annunciate and shut
down the compressor, the yellow dot icon indicates that there will be an alarm annunciation only.

Figure 25 Example Suction Pressure Parameters window

These parameters can also be found in the ‘SUCTION PRESSURE’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN
PARAMETERS’ frame of the OmniView window. The compressor is controlled using these parameters when
‘Suction Pressure Control’ is selected.

Two suction pressure setpoints are available for controlling the compressor package. Each of the setpoints has
its own set of parameters for complimentary functions. One of the two sets of control parameters can be selected
by a parameter in the ‘CONTROL’ group or by an optional factory configured digital input.

Suction (1 or 2) Pressure Setpoint is the suction pressure to be maintained when the compressor is in Auto
capacity mode.

Suction (1 or 2) Pressure Upper is the suction pressure where a stopped compressor will automatically startup if
the ‘Low Suction Pres 0=Shtdn/1=Cycle’ Operating Parameter is set to ‘1’ (Cycle). If it is set to ‘0’ (Shutdown),
this parameter is not used

Suction (1 or 2) Pressure Lower is the suction pressure where a running compressor will automatically stop. If
the ‘Low Suction Pres 0=Shutdown/1=Cycle’ Operating Parameter is set to ‘0’ (Shutdown), a shutdown will be
annunciated. If it is set to ‘1’ (Cycle), it will cycle off and re-start if the suction pressure rises above the Suction
Pressure Upper Operating Parameter. See 'Low Suction Pressure' Shutdown.

Suction (1 or 2) Pressure Prop Band sets the width of the differential pressure band above and below the
Suction Pressure Dead Band used for proportionally loading and unloading the compressor.

‘Process Temperature Control’ is selected.

Two process temperature setpoints are available for controlling the compressor package. Each of the setpoints
has its own set of parameters for complimentary functions. One of the two sets of control parameters can be
selected by a parameter in the ‘CONTROL’ group or by an optional factory configured digital input. There is only
one set of Low Suction and Load Control parameters that is common to both sets of temperature setpoints.

Process (1 or 2) Temperature Setpoint is the process temperature to be maintained when the compressor is in
Auto capacity mode.

Process (1 or 2) Temperature Upper is the process temperature where a stopped compressor will automatically
startup if the ‘Low Process Temp 0=Fail/1=Cycle’ Operating Parameter is set to ‘1’ (Cycle). If it is set to ‘0’ (Fail),
this parameter is not used.

Process (1 or 2) Temperature Lower is the process temperature where a running compressor will automatically
stop. If the ‘Low Process Temp 0=Fail/1=Cycle’ Operating Parameter is set to ‘0’ (Fail), a shutdown will be
annunciated after 10 continuous seconds. If it is set to ‘0’ (Cycle), it will cycle off and re-start if the process

Control Selection Parameters
This group allows the operator to select the mode of capacity control for the compressor and to set other values
relating to capacity control.

Figure 29 Example Control Selection Parameters window

These parameters can also be found in the ‘CONTROL’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN PARAMETERS’
frame of the OmniView window. The configuration of this window may change based on factory configuration and
operator selections. Some parameters in the OmniView group may be grayed out based on other selections
within the group, these parameters are not needed for the selected mode of operation.

Control Mode 0=SP/1=T/2=DI/3=SV/4=DP determines whether the compressor controls capacity based on
suction pressure (0), process temperature (1) or discharge pressure (4). Optionally, a factory-configured digital
input (2) (Pressure/Temperature Input) may be used to make the selection between suction pressure and
process temperature control. The selection for Remote Slide Valve control (3) Discharge Pressure control (4) are
factory configured options. In Figure 29 the Discharge Pressure Control option has not been enabled and is
shown grayed-out.

Control Mode Point 0=DI/1=PNT1/2=PNT2 determines which set of Suction Pressure, Process Temperature or
Discharge Pressure Parameters is used to control capacity. An entry of 1 Selects Suction Pressure/Process
Temp/Discharge Pressure 1 Parameters. An entry of 2 Selects Suction Pressure/Process Temp/Discharge
Pressure 2 Parameters. Optionally, a factory-configured digital input (PNT1/PNT2 Input) may be used to make the
selection (0). This input selects Setpoint 1 when de-energized and Setpoint 2 when energized.

Capacity Control Direction 0=Normal/1=Reverse to reverse capacity control operation including VFD PID
control. Typically set to 0 (Normal) for Suction Pressure/Process Temperature Control and set to 1(Reverse) for
Discharge Pressure Control.

Capacity Load/Unload Period sets the maximum width of a capacity control pulse. All proportional load or
unload pulse calculations utilize this parameter.

Slide Valve Position Minimum prevents the compressor slide valve from unloading below this value when in
Auto capacity mode.

Slide Valve Position Maximum prevents the compressor slide valve from loading above this value when in Auto
capacity mode.

Load Limit 0=None/1=Pulse/2=SP/3=SV selects the parameters used for Load Pulse Limiting. ‘Pulse’ limiting
allows the operator to enter the maximum load pulse applied to the compressor during pulldown. ‘SP’ or ‘Ramp to
Suction Setpoint’ limiting limits loading to bring the Suction pressure down at a rate determined by the operator.
‘SV’ or ‘Ramp to Maximum Slide Valve’ sets the amount of time that the compressor will take to reach a fully
loaded condition.

Unload Slide Valve Before Stop 0=No/1=Yes will try to unload the slide valve when a stop command is issued
before stopping the compressor. Hitting the stopped button when the compressor is this state, will abort the
process. If the slide valve doesn’t unload in 5 minutes see ‘Compressor Slide Valve Unload’ shutdown.

Max Load Pulse During Pulldown displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘1’ for Pulse Limiting.
This parameter sets the maximum load pulse that can be issued during Load Limiting. Once Load Limiting is
inactive, the compressor returns to normal loading. To disable Load Limiting entirely, set this parameter to the
same value entered into the Capacity Load/Unload Period Operating Parameter. In addition, set the Allow
Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes Operating Parameter to 1 (Yes), and set the Allow Normal Loading After % to 0%.
Allow Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes Displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘1’ for Pulse Limiting.
This parameter forces the compressor to remain in Load Limiting, regardless of slide valve position, with a ‘0’ (No)
entry. With a ‘1’ (Yes) entry, Load Limiting is active until the slide valve position exceeds the ‘Allow Normal
Loading After’ operating parameter.

Allow Normal Loading After displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘1’ for Pulse Limiting. This
parameter sets the slide valve position where Load Limiting is disabled if the Allow Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes
Operating Parameter is set to ‘1’ (Yes). If Allow Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes is set to 0 (No), this parameter is
not used.

Ramp to Suction Setpoint per Min displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘2’ for Ramp to Suction
Setpoint Limiting. This parameter sets the rate at which the Suction Setpoint is reduced from the Suction Pressure
measured at startup, down to the Suction Pressure Setpoint when ‘Ramp to Suction Setpoint’ is selected. The
rate is set in pressure units per minute.

Ramp to Max Slide Valve Over displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘3’ for Ramp to Slide Valve
Limiting. This parameter set the amount of time that it takes for the slide valve to reach the fully loaded position.
Time is set in minutes.

Booster/High Stage, 0=Bstr/1=HS/2=DI determines the operating mode of the compressor. This parameter is
displayed for GM, GS, and GL/GLX swing (booster/high stage) compressor packages. Setting this parameter to a
‘0’ configures the compressor for booster operation. Setting this parameter to a ‘1’ configures the compressor for
high stage operation. Setting the parameter to a ‘2’ configures the panel to examine the state of an input module
to determine the compressors operating mode. The input module is an option that must be factory configured. It
is used to alter oil pump operation for swing applications without requiring the operator to change this parameter.

Remote Mode Control Setpoint 0=Control Parameter / 1=Communications determines if the setpoints for the
compressor will be based on operating parameters or values received from the sequencer. Communications
should only be used when using a GForce system panel with compressor sequencing.

The following parameters are only displayed on the OmniView.

High Slide Valve Fast Unload Time displayed only when enabled in factory configuration. This parameter sets

IntelliSOC Valve Control Parameters
Discharge Temperature Setpoint - This parameter is the Compressor Discharge Temperature that the user
desires to maintain. As the Compressor Discharge Temperature rises above this value the IntelliSOC™
Valve will be opened more, as the Compressor Discharge Temperature drops below this value, the
IntelliSOC™ Valve will be closed more. Range is 120ºF to 175ºF with a default value of 150ºF. Except for
GL/GLX compressors in applications using refrigerants other than R717, the minimum value for the setpoint is
150ºF.

Minimum Position For Valve - this is the minimum position that the PID will close the IntelliSOC™ valve.
Range is 0.0 to 100.0%.

Proportional Constant - This parameter represents the controller gain and is defined as the ratio of the
measurement change to a corresponding change in output. This constant determines the overall
response of the PID equation because it is used by all portions of the equation (including reset and rate
gain constants). Initially, before adjusting to meet system conditions, this value should be set to 50.0.
Range is 0.0 to 500.0.

Integral Constant - This parameter represents the reset gain and determines the gain as a function of
distance from the setpoint and the amount of time the error has existed. The reset response is simply the
error multiplied by the time interval that the error has existed. The area under the curve forms the reset
(integral) gain portion of the equation. Please note that the PID reset gain has an inverse relationship to
the speed of control (making the PID integral constant larger will slow the overall system response).
Initially, before adjusting to meet system conditions, this value should be set at 85.0. Range is 0.0 to
500.0

Derivative Constant - This parameter represents the rate gain and determines the system response by
examining the slope of the error signal. If the slope of the error signal is constant, the rate gain
contribution to the overall output will be zero. A rapid change in the error signal will produce a
corresponding change in rate gain. In this way, the rate gain can be used to “anticipate” what the error
will be at some future time. This anticipation makes the rate gain particularly useful in dampening the
system to control oscillations caused by sudden dramatic changes in the error signal. Setting the
derivative gain to small values will minimize the effect of the derivative gain and the systems ability to
react to sudden changes in the error signal. Setting the rate (derivative) gain too large can actually
contribute to oscillations in the system. Initially, before adjusting to meet system conditions, this value
should be set at 1. Range is 0.0 to 30.0.

USE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING THIS VALVE MANUALLY.


Enable Test/Manual Mode 0=No, 1=Yes - Enables the user to “Test” or manually control the
IntelliSOC™ Valve. For normal operation, this should be set at 0.

Test/Manual Mode Position - Sets the “Test” or manually controlled position of the IntelliSOC™ Valve.
Range is 0.0 to 100.0%

Calibrate Time Before Valve Bleed - This is the time required by the IntelliSOC™ valve to achieve the
fully unloaded position before being allowed to open to the minimum position. Typical setting for this
parameter is 30.0 seconds. Range is 5.0 to 90.0 seconds.

IMPORTANT! To avoid injury or damage to equipment, the parameters within this topic must be set according to
the motor manufacturer's recommendations.

Example calculations assume a motor FLA of 484A for a non-VFD motor.


Motor Current Upper should be set to Full Load Amps X Service Factor. Use a 1.15 service factor for non-VFD
motors and a 1.0 service factor for VFD motors. If motor current exceeds this parameter, the slide valve will be
unloaded.

(484FLA)(1.15SF) = 556.6 Amps


These proportional unload pulses will take place until motor current is reduced below (Motor Current Upper -
Motor Current Dead Band Operating Parameters). If motor current remains above the Motor Current Upper
Operating Parameter for 30 seconds, a shutdown will be issued. See 'High Motor Current' Shutdown.

Motor Current Lower should be set to Full Load Amps. When motor current rises above this parameter, load
pulses are proportionally limited as the current rises toward (Motor Current Upper - Motor Current Dead Band
Operating Parameters). In addition, motor current in excess of 10% Motor Current Lower Operating Parameter
must be detected within 8 seconds of Startup, or a shutdown will occur. See 'Compressor Start' Shutdown.

Motor Current Dead Band should be set to at least Full Load Amps X Service Factor X 2%. This parameter is
subtracted from the Motor Current Upper Operating Parameter to form a dead band where no load pulses will be
issued.

(484FLA)(1.15)(0.02) = 11.1 Amps


If system conditions cause motor current to rise above the Motor Current Upper Operating Parameter, then
proportional unload pulses will take place until motor current is reduced below the dead band. If motor current
cannot be reduced below the dead band within 5 minutes, a shutdown will occur. See 'Motor Current Overload'
Shutdown.

Anti-Recycle Period establishes the minimum time that must elapse between compressor starts.

Accumulated Compressor Runtime records the number of operating hours.

Motor Current Maximum sets the upper limit(scaling) of the motor current input. This value must match the
range of the starter or transmitter. Refer to the Analog Data section under “Motor Current” for additional details.

Starter Type 0=ATL/1=VFD factory configured option, available if a compressor motor is equipped with both an
across-the-line starter and a VFD. This allows the operator to select the type of starter control, this parameter can
only be changed when the compressor motor is stopped.

This parameter can also be found in the ‘COMPRESSOR MOTOR’ group in the ‘ALARM PARAMETERS’ frame
of the OmniView display.

Motor Current Upper should be set to Full Load Amps X (0.99).

(484 Amps)(0.99)= 479.2 Amps


If motor current exceeds this parameter, the 'High Motor Current' alarm will be annunciated. This alarm is active
only when the compressor is running.

Power Parameters
This group displays all of the Power Monitoring Parameters.

Figure 34 Example Power Parameters window

These parameters can also be found in the ‘POWER FAIL RESET’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN
PARAMETERS’ frame of the OmniView window.

Power Fail Reset Enable 0=No/1=Yes This entry determines whether the Power Fail Reset function is enabled.

Reset to Mode? 1=Local/2=Remote This entry determines whether the control panel will enter Local (1) or
Remote (2) mode when power is restored after a power failure.

Delay Before Power Fail Reset allows the operator to set a minimum amount of time (0-8000 seconds) that the
control panel will wait upon regaining acceptable line voltage before entering Local or Remote mode. This entry
should be set to allow a slight delay after regaining power to ensure that the power system has stabilized.
Additionally, this entry may be used to stagger compressor starts after a power failure in a multi-unit system.

Abort Power Fail Reset After allows the operator to set a maximum amount (0-8000 seconds) of time allowed
for a power fail reset sequence. If the power failure and/or Delay before Power Fail Reset lasts longer than this
entry, a power fail reset will not be attempted and a 'Aborted Power Fail Reset' Shutdown Annunciation will occur.

These parameters can also be found in the ‘POWER MONITORING’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN
PARAMETERS’ frame of the OmniView window. The power usage displayed by a standard GForce control panel
is based solely on the motor current and a constant entered by the user (the ‘Demand Metering Ratio’ in the
‘Power Parameters’ group). This constant is calculated based on the formula described below.

Demand Metering Ratio should be set to the kW (see calculation below) that will be consumed by the motor at
the maximum current transformer output. This should take into account nominal line voltage and average power
factor. For example, consider a situation where a Maximum Motor Current setting of 500A is used, with a 485V

nominal line voltage and a 0.7 average power factor. The kW consumed by the motor at the maximum current
transformer output would be calculated as follows.

((500 Amps)(485 Volts)(0.7 PF)( 1.732NOTE))/ 1000 Watts =294.0 kW


kilowatt hour Sampling Period establishes the time interval (5-30 minutes) used to approximate kilowatt Hours
from the measured kW Demand. Longer intervals provide more accurate results since instantaneous kW
Demand "spikes" become less significant when compared to the average kW used.

kilowatt hours Consumed is a digital kWh meter that accumulates energy used while the compressor motor
operates. This entry can be zeroed by the operator and examined later, yielding the energy consumed by this
compressor over the interval.

Please note that based on the formula, there is no adjustment made for the changes in line voltage or power
factor. Now that more accurate monitoring of power usage is required in most situations an alternative is
available.

If the motor starter/VFD is equipped with a 4-20mA output that can be configured to send the real-time kW
demand, the GForce™ Control panel can be configured(at the factory) to use this value. Both the kW demand
and the accumulated kWh are based on this input. When this option is used, the ‘Demand Metering Ratio’
parameter is not displayed. Please contact FES if this option is required.

PLC Sequencing Interface (Remote Sequence Slave)

Slide Valve Output Parameters


The GForce™ Control Panel is capable of providing up to four digital outputs that have operator adjustable on
and off points based on slide valve position. This example shows two of the four enabled. These two are typically
used with the Digital Remote Sequence Slave option to allow hard-wired control of compressor capacity by an
external PLC or other controller.

Figure 35 Example Slide Valve Output Parameters window

These parameters can also be found in the ‘SLIDE VALVE OUTPUT’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN
PARAMETERS’ frame of the OmniView window.

Slide Valve Output #x On Position - determines the On position for the Slide Valve Output. If On > Off, then
the output will be de-energized until the actual slide valve position exceeds the On parameter, at which point it will
be energized. It will remain energized until the actual slide valve position falls below the Off parameter. If Off >
On, then the output will be energized until the actual slide valve position exceeds the Off parameter, at which
point it will be de-energized. It will remain de-energized until the actual slide valve position falls below the On
parameter.

Slide Valve Output #x Off Position - co-ordinates with the parameter above for the described operation.

As shown in the example Slide Valve Output #1 would be on below 20% slide valve and would be off above 25%
slide valve. Slide Valve Output #2 would be on above 75% slide valve and off below 70% slide valve. It is
recommended that the two setpoints for each output be at least a few tenths apart to prevent output chatter.

Digital Remote Sequence Slave Option


This group of I/O modules is used in combination with Slide Valve Outputs #1 and #2 to allow a remote PLC to
control the GForce™ compressor directly. Refer to the figures on the following page for two example connection
diagrams; Figure 36 using GForce™ power and Figure 37 using PLC power. The ‘Anti-Recycle Timing’ output is
energized if the compressor would be prevented from starting due to unexpired motor anti-recycle or oil drain
time. The ‘Remote Enabled’ is energized when the compressor is placed in ‘Remote’ mode and ‘External’ control.
Operation of the slide valve outputs is described above. Any pulses applied to the ‘Load’ and ‘Unload’ inputs is
relayed directly to the capacity control solenoids. If either input is constantly energized the related capacity control
solenoid will be constantly energized as well. Overloads are still functional and may limit the duration of any
capacity control pulses.

following is a list of possible alarms.

Hi Oil Separator Temp – Actual oil separator temperature exceeded the Oil Separator Upper Alarm
Parameter while the compressor was Stopped or in the process of Starting.
Lo Oil Separator Temp – Actual oil separator temperature fell below the Oil Separator Lower Alarm
Parameter while the compressor was in the process of Starting.
Auxiliary Alarm – The Auxiliary Alarm Input module was de-energized during Stop, Startup, Run, or
Shutdown. This input is typically connected to external warning devices for the compressor package.
High Motor Current – After a two minute delay at startup, the actual motor current exceeded the Motor
Current Upper Alarm Parameter while the compressor was operating in Run.
High Discharge Pressure – The actual discharge pressure exceeded the Discharge Pressure Maximum
Alarm Parameter during Stop, Startup, Run, or Shutdown.
High Discharge Temp – The actual discharge temperature exceeded the Discharge Temperature Upper
Alarm Parameter during Stop, Startup, Run, or Shutdown.

Pressure (2TD) and the Oil Filter Outlet Pressure (5TD) less the ‘Oil Filter Pressure Piping Loss
Adjustment Factor’ parameter.
Low Inlet Oil Temperature – For GM and GL/GLX series; after a two minute delay at Startup, the actual
inlet oil temperature fell below the Inlet Oil Temperature Lower Operating Parameter for five seconds
during Run. GS Series; from start up to four minutes after startup, no alarm. Four to six minutes after
start, Inlet Oil Temperature must be greater than 75.0°F/23.9°C. More than six minutes after start factory

Low Line Voltage # – The line voltage powering the processor board dropped below the factory-
configured trip voltage. The number following the annunciation is the actual line voltage at the time of the
annunciation. Note that this shutdown is active only when the Power Fail Reset option is disabled.

Analog Calibration # – The microprocessor detected an Analog Calibration outside its entry limits. The
number after the annunciation indicates which analog channel's calibration is in error. Refer to
Hardware's Table of Processor Board Analog Input Terminals and Configuration. Note that this

if a High-Stage GL/GLX compressor's oil pressure exceeds 7 bar (101.5 psi) a shutdown will be issued
immediately. Prior to revision 10.6 there was a thirty second delay at startup. Beginning with revision 10.6
there is a factory configurable delay for high oil pressure shutdown on compressor startup. Default
startup delay is 6 seconds. This value can be factory configured for applications that require a longer
delay.

Compressor Slide Valve Unload – The slide valve reading remained above 5.0% for 5 minutes of
unload during an attempted Startup or when the compressor is stopping. This delay was 3 minutes on
revisions prior to 10.3.

Low Oil Level – The Oil Level Input module was de-energized for 5 seconds while Stopped, or for 3
minutes during Startup, Run or while Stopping.

Aborted Power Fail Reset – The power fail reset option was enabled. The microprocessor detected that
incoming line voltage dropped below the factory-configured limit and remained low longer than Abort
Power Fail Reset After Operating Parameter.

Oil Separator Temperature Probe Failure – The Oil Separator Temperature reading was below –76.0
°F/-60.0°C, indicating a Temperature Probe failure. While the temperature is below this value, the Oil
Heaters are de-energized. Refer to Analog Data section for information on the Oil Separator
Temperature.

Control
Control Descriptions
The following sections describe in detail the operation of the primary control systems of the GForce™
Compressor Control Panel. Some of these systems are factory configured options and may not be available on a
specific machine.

Compressor Start Sequence of Operation


1. The start sequence begins with an examination of the compressor motor's Anti-Recycle Timer and oil
drain timers. If sufficient time has not elapsed since the last start of the compressor motor, or oil drain
time still exists, the control panel will wait until both timers have expired.
2a. If Suction Pressure Control is enabled and the Low Suction Pres 0=Fail/1=Cycle Operating Parameter is
set 1(Cycle), the control panel will wait until the actual suction pressure exceeds the Suction Pressure (1
or 2) Upper Operating Parameter. The user can bypass this delay by pressing the [Local Start] button a
second time. If enabled in the factory configuration, an external device can bypass this delay by
energizing the Must Start Input module.
2b. If Process Temperature Control is enabled and the Low Process Temp 0=Shutdn/1=Cycle Operating
Parameter is set 1(Cycle), the control panel will wait until the actual process temperature exceeds the
Process Temperature (1 or 2) Upper Operating Parameter. The user can bypass this delay by pressing
the [Local Start] button a second time. If enabled in the factory configuration, an external device can
bypass this delay by energizing the Must Start Input module.
3. The Ready to Start Output module will be energized.
4. The Permissive Start Input module will be examined. If enabled in the factory-configuration, the control
panel will wait for it to be energized. While waiting on the Permissive Start, the [Local Start] or [Remote]
button will be flashing.
5. The external oil pump will be started for GL/GLX series compressors or GM/GS series compressors fitted
with an external oil pump.
6. The unload solenoids will be energized.
7. If equipped with a Discharge Check Valve it will be opened. It must open completely within 30 seconds,
or startup will be aborted.
8. The control panel will wait until the slide valve unloads to a position less than 5%. If it does not unload
within 3 minutes, startup will be aborted for all compressors equipped with an external oil pump and a
“Compressor Slide Valve Unload” shutdown will be issued. The GM and GS series compressors with an
internal pump (even if an external is also used) will be permitted to start if the slide valve position is less
than 70.0%. For GM and GS series compressors with or without an external pump proceed to step #11.
Note: The oil pressure built by the external oil pump is monitored while trying to unload the slide valve to
less than 5%. If valid oil pressure is not established as explained in the next section, a “Low Oil Press –
Startup” shutdown will be initiated. If this occurs, the Oil pump will still operate for up to 3 minutes to
unload the slide valve.
9. After verifying that the slide valve is less than 5%, the Inlet Oil pressure is tested. The Oil Pressure for
machines equipped with an external oil pump must exceed discharge pressure + 14.2 psi (1 bar) within 8
seconds of the oil pump being started. If this pressure is not achieved within 8 seconds, the oil pump will
be stopped for 10 seconds. The pump will be restarted 2 additional times for 8 seconds with 10 second
rd
pauses between. If the pressure is still not achieved after the last (3 ) pump start, a “Low Oil Press –
Startup” shutdown will be issued. Note: During the pump off cycles, the [Oil Pump] button will be flashing
at a 1.5 second on/off rate.
10. If the oil pump has been running longer than 20 seconds to unload the slide valve before the compressor
can be started, the startup will be delayed until the compressor has been given time to drain the oil
pumped into it during the startup process. Note: Any time the startup is delayed in this manner, the oil
drain timer will be set to 10 minutes and the compressor will remain in LOCAL or REMOTE mode. The
compressor will not be shutdown. The compressor will automatically attempt to restart when the oil drain
timer elapses. Oil drain time is displayed in the OPERATING DATA frame of the OmniView window.

1. The compressor motor starter will be de-energized to stop the compressor.
2. The compressor slide valve's unload solenoid will be energized.
3. The Ready to Start Output module will be de-energized.
4. The control panel will wait for the Compressor Interlock Input module to be de-energized, and actual

7. Once the compressor is shutdown, the compressor slide valve's unload solenoid will de-energize
8. If the oil pump has been running longer than 20 seconds after the compressor has been shutdown, the

Figure 46 Example Low Suction Pressure Overload during Process Temperature Control

The Low Suction Pressure Overload is a mechanism to unload the compressor to avoid extremely low suction
pressures during Process Temperature Control Mode. When this overload is active, the message 'Ld Lim – Low
Suc' will appear in the upper left of the OPERATING DATA frame in the OmniView and the lower left corner of the
Classic View.
For an example, a compact water-chilling system will be analyzed. R-717(ammonia) will be used as the
refrigerant.
The Process Temperature Low Suction Operating Parameter is set to the minimum pressure that the system can
tolerate, which is typically the pressure equivalent of the process fluid's freezing point. Pressure drop between
the heat exchanger and the compressor package must be considered if relevant. If the suction pressure drops
below this parameter, the compressor will be shutdown. Since the example application's process fluid is water
and the system is compact, 50.0 PSIG was chosen as the pressure equivalent to the water's freezing point using
R-717.
The Process Temperature Prop Band Operating Parameter is typically set slightly above the process fluid's
freezing point, causing the compressor to unload as the suction pressure drops close to the pressure equivalent
of the freezing point. This unloading is proportional between the Process Temperature Prop Band and Low
Suction Operating Parameters. In the example, a 5.0 PSI proportional unload band was chosen so the Process
Temperature Prop Band Operating Parameter was set to 55.0 PSIG.
As the compressor's suction pressure nears the Process Temperature Prop Band Operating Parameter,
measures need be taken to slow loading of the compressor. Once the suction pressure drops below the Process
Temperature Load Adjust Operating Parameter, the intended load pulses will be proportionally reduced.
Typically, the load adjustment (load limiting) band should be equal to or greater than the proportional unload
band, which was chosen to be 5.0 PSI. For the example, the Process Temperature Load Adjust Operating
Parameter was set to 60.0 PSIG.
‘Load Adjust Parameter’ must be greater than ‘Prop Band Parameter’ and ‘Prop Band Parameter’ must be greater
than ‘Low Suction Parameter’. If these requires aren’t met than a Low Suction Overload will always be triggered.

The Discharge Pressure Overload is a mechanism to unload a compressor experiencing high discharge pressure,
in order to avoid a shutdown. When this overload is active, the message Overld – Hi Disch' will appear in the
upper left of the OPERATING DATA frame in the OmniView and the lower left corner of the Classic View.

At Startup, the compressor's discharge pressure must be at least 10.0 PSI lower than the High Discharge
Pressure Shutdown Parameter, or the 'High Discharge Pressure' shutdown will occur immediately.
When in Run mode, the control panel monitors the compressor's discharge pressure continuously. A proportional
unload band is established between the Discharge Pressure Maximum and Discharge Pressure Prop Band
Operating Parameters (225.0 PSI and 10.0 PSI respectively for this example). If actual discharge pressure rises
into the proportional unload band, the compressor will be unloaded in an attempt to avoid the 'High Discharge
Pressure' Shutdown.
‘Discharge Pressure Prop Band’ must be greater than 0. If ‘Discharge Pressure Prop Band’ is 0 then the
compressor won’t try to unload when approaching the High Discharge Pressure Shutdown.

upper left of the OPERATING DATA frame in the OmniView or the lower left corner of the Classic View.

This example applies only to fixed speed drive, if the machine is equipped with a variable speed drive please refer
to MCP-171 Variable Speed Compressor for operation of the Motor Current Overload.

For an example, consider a motor with a Full Load Amps (FLA) rating of 484 Amps. The motor has a 1.15
Service Factor.

Typical settings:
Motor Current Upper is set to the nameplate FLA times Service Factor. Please note that the
control panel shutdown is in addition to the electromechanical overloads in the motor starter.
484 FLA X 1.15 = 556A
Motor Current Upper Deadband must be set to at least two percent of the nameplate FLA times
Service Factor.
484 FLA X 1.15 X 0.02 = 11A on the graph 556A – 11A = 545A
Motor Current Lower is set to the nameplate FLA. In this example 484A.
Operating scenario:
1. Motor current increases above the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter. The length of the load pulses will be
limited based upon how far the motor current is above the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter. This causes
the slide valve to load slowly in an effort to avoid a high motor current shutdown. ‘Ld Lim - Mtr Cur’ load
limiting message is shown on the display.

2. If motor current drops back below the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter normal capacity control resumes.
Continue at step 9.
3. If motor current continues to rise above the ‘Motor Current Upper’ minus ‘Motor Current Upper Deadband’

4. If the motor current rises above the ‘Motor Current Upper’, the unload solenoid will be energized
continuously in an attempt to reduce the motor current.
5. If the motor current remains above the ‘Motor Current Upper’ for thirty continuous seconds, a ‘High Motor

6. When the motor current is reduced below the ‘Motor Current Upper’, the unload pulses are terminated
and loading is not permitted. The ‘Ld Lim - Mtr Cur’ load limiting message replaces ‘Overld - Mtr Cur’

9. The overload situation is terminated and ‘Overld - Mtr Cur’ overload message is removed from the

GM SERIES
The GM series can be configured with or without an external oil pump. The configuration of the oil pump is based

change parameters to affect this selection. The input module is typically wired to a selector switch located on the
door of the panel to simplify the internal / external oil pump - high stage/booster modes respectively.

When the GM series compressor is equipped with an external oil pump, the oil pump is started and will continue

When the GS series compressor is not equipped with an oil pump, the compressor is permitted to start without

Compressor Slide Valve Control
Both the Slide Valve Load and Slide Valve Unload outputs from the GForce™ control panel are connected to dual
solenoid valves. The Slide Valve Load output is connected to solenoids Y1 and Y4. The Slide Valve Unload
output is connected to solenoids Y2 and Y3. Two additional solenoids are added on variable Vi compressors to
control the Vi slide. The Vi slide of a variable Vi compressor is loaded by energizing solenoid Y5 and unloaded by
energizing solenoid Y6. De-energizing both Y5 and Y6 lock the Vi slide in its’ current position.

The operation of the slide valve outputs when the compressor is not running is dependent on the type of
compressor. If the compressor is a GL/GLX series, both primary and Vi slide valve outputs will be de-energized
whenever the compressor is not running. For a GM and GS series compressor, the presence or absence of the
external oil pump will determine how the slide valve outputs are controlled. If the GM or GS series compressor
has an external oil pump or a combination of internal and external oil pumps, the control of the slide valve outputs
is identical to that of the GL/GLX series machines. For GM and GS series not equipped with an external oil
pump, both slide valve outputs will be energized when the compressor is not running if the slide valve reading
exceeds 5%. Both outputs are energized to allow the pressure on either side of the slide valve piston to equalize
thus allowing the internal spring in the compressor to unload the machine.

Compressor Variable Vi Control
G and X Series compressors offer continuous variable Vi control that is designed specifically for the model of
compressor that is being controlled. The variable Vi mechanism is unique to each compressor family (GL, GLX,
GM or GS) so different control philosophies are required for each compressor family. The compressor family is
fixed during the factory configuration, the specific compressor model must be set using the Operating Parameter
‘VARIABLE Vi CONTROL, Compressor Model Selection’ .

GL/GLX Series Variable Vi Control


The optimum Vi for the compressor is calculated based on the refrigerant, economizer activity, and current
operating conditions using a proprietary algorithm. The optimum Vi setting produced by the algorithm is displayed
as “Vi Setting” on the Analog Data frame of the OmniView or on the Vi detail display.

The Vi control of the GL/GLX Series compressor is accomplished using two slides that operate in tandem with
one-another to simultaneously maintain the desired Vi and capacity of the compressor. To achieve the desired Vi
Setting, the primary slide is moved initially followed by the Vi slide. The Vi position is infinitely variable (not
stepped) using the two slides with the movement of the slides determined by the current “Vi Mode” of the
compressor. The Vi Mode (1, 2 or 3) determines which slide is being moved to control capacity and which slide is
being used to achieve the desired Vi setting. The Vi Mode and Current Vi are displayed on the bottom line of the
Operating Data frame of the OminView.

Vi Mode #1
The primary slide is moved to control the capacity of the machine and the Vi slide is kept unloaded. The
Vi of the compressor in Vi Mode #1 is therefore a function of the movement of the primary slide in order to
maintain the desired suction pressure / process temperature setpoint. The primary slide is used to control
the capacity of the machine from completely unloaded up to a position where the optimum Vi for the
operating conditions is located. This positon is displayed as “Vi SCALC” in the Operating Data Display.
Loading the primary slide beyond the value of Vi SCALC increases the Vi of the compressor beyond the
calculated Vi Setting. If the machine is attempting to load (increase capacity) and the primary slide
reading approaches the value of Vi SCALC, the primary slide will be locked at the value of Vi SCALC and
a 2 second transition timer is started. The 2 second timer will only time out when the load solenoid output
is energized, therefore; the actual duration of the transition timer is inversely proportional to the duration
of the load pulses. Continous load signals will transtion from Vi Mode #1 to Vi Mode #2 in 2 seconds.
Short load pulses will take significantly longer to transition because the time can only accumulate based
on the duration of the load pulses. When the requests to load the compressor accumulate 2 seconds of
load pulses, the timer will elapse and the Vi Mode will transition from Mode #1 to Vi Mode #2. If any type
of unload signal is generated interupting the 2 second time transition timer, the unload signals will be
issued and the 2 second timer will be reset.

Vi Mode #2
The primary slide is programmed to track the value of Vi SCALC and the Vi slide is adjusted to maintain
the suction pressure / process temperature setting. The value of Vi SCALC is constantly being
recalculated based on the current operating conditions. While in Vi mode #2, the primary slide will only
be moved to correct for changes in the value of Vi SCALC. There is no positional feedback from the Vi
slide, subsequently, there is no value for the Vi slide valve position for GL/GLX Series compressors. In Vi
Mode #2, the capacity of the compressor lies between the value of SCALC and 100% and will be a
calculated value based on the following formula:

Slide valve reading = SCALC + ((100% - SCALC) * (TIMER Value/30))

When the machine is attempting to load (increase capacity) and has initially entered Vi Mode #2 from Vi
mode #1, a 30 second timer is started. This 30 second timer will only time out while the load solenoid
output is energized, therefore; the actual duration of the transition timer is inversely proportional to the
duration of the load signals. Continous load signals will transtion from Vi Mode #2 to Vi Mode #3 in thirty

Revision: Q

Control
seconds. Short load pulses will take a proportionally longer time to transition because the timer is only
permitted to time for the duration of each load pulse. The slide valve reading will increase proportionally
as this thirty second transition timer accumulates. With this method, the accumulating load signals are
used to alter the displayed slide valve reading from the value of SCALC to 100%. The slide valve reading
will be approaching 99.9% just as the equivalent of thirty seconds of loading is accumulated. When the
timer has accumulated the full thirty seconds, the Vi Mode will transition from Mode #2 to Vi Mode #3
locking the machine at 100%.

An unload signal that interupts the thirty second Vi Mode #2 to Vi Mode #3 transition timer will
automatically set the Mode #2 to Mode #1 transition timer with the equivalent amount of time that the
compressor has been loading in Mode #2. This method allows the microprocessor to determine a relative
“position” for the Vi slide based on the duration of load/unload pulses. For example: If the compressor
has accumulated twelve seconds of Load pulses in Vi Mode #2, and begins unloading, twelve seconds of
unload pulses must accumulate prior to returning toVi Mode #1. In this example the slide valve reading
would be displayed as 40% of the difference between SCALC and 100% when the switch to unloading
occurred using the formula above.

Similarly, if the machine is attempting to unload (decrease capacity) and has initially entered Mode #2
from Mode #3, a thirty second unload timer is also started. This thirty second timer will only time out while
the unload solenoid output is energized, therefore; the actual duration of the transition timer is inversely
proportional to the duration of the unload signals. If a request to unload the compressor continues for
thirty continuous seconds, the Vi Mode will transition to Vi Mode #1. A load signal that interupts the thirty
second Vi Mode #2 to Vi Mode #1 transition timer will automatically set the Mode #2 to Mode #3 transition
timer with the equivalent amount of time that the compressor has been unloading. This method allows
the microprocessor to determine a relative “position” for the Vi slide based on the duration of load/unload
pulses. For example: If the compressor has accumulated 18 seconds of Unload pulses in Vi Mode #2,
and begins loading, 18 seconds of load pulses must accumulate prior to returning to Vi Mode #3. The
slide valve position that is displayed when transitioning from Mode #2 to Mode #1 is directly proportional
to the remaining time on the transition timer using the following formula.

Slide valve reading = 100 - ((100% - SCALC) * (TIMER Value/30))

This formula is different than the one used to transition between Modes #2 and Mode #3 because the
slide is operating in the opposite direction. The longer the Vi slide is loaded/unloaded in Vi Mode #2, the
equivalent time must elapse before the Vi mode can return to the previous Vi Mode. This sequence of
operation is used to approximate the operation of a conventional slide valve assembly for a GL/GLX
Series Variable Vi compressor.

Vi Mode #3
The primary slide continues to track the value of Vi SCALC and the Vi slide is placed in load to force the
compressor to maximum capacity. This arrangement ensures the maximum capacity from the
compressor while maintaining the optimum Vi setting for the current operating conditions. The capacity of
the compressor will always be displayed as 100% while operating in Vi Mode #3. In Vi Mode #3, a 1
second timer will be started when the capacity control generates an unload signal to decrease the
capacity of the compressor. When the unload signal accumulates the equivalent of 1 second of unload
pulsess, the Vi Mode will transition to Vi Mode #2. The Vi Mode will bypass the 1 second time delay and
transition to Mode #2 immediately if the capacity control is placed in Manual Unload mode.

The valve is designed to recalibrate itself when it registers 4mA for one second. This calibration is necessary
on a periodic basis to provide accurate readout information. The program is configured to unload the valve to
4mA when the compressor shuts off. After a delay to assure the valve has reached the fully unloaded position,
the valve will resort to a new minimum position, allowing it to open slightly to avert trapping liquid between the
valve and the shutoff solenoid.

The modulating valve is held closed for 1.5 seconds after the shutoff solenoid is energized to allow pressure to
build against the control valve.

N32:8 402209 Unload Pulse W 0.1 to 10.0 seconds X10
Note: Capacity Control Mode must be External (Modbus Register 2203, Value=4) to accept
Load/Unload pulses via Modbus Registers 2208 and 2209.
N32:9 402210 Abort Computer Sequencing W ASCII 'AB' or 16706 -

N32:11 402212 Register Computer Sequencing - 1 Minute W ASCII 'CS' or 17235 -
Note: Registering Computer Sequencing is not required, but can be used to check for communication
loss.
To utilize this control, you must write to Modbus Register 2211 or 2212 at least every 5 minutes or 1
minute respectively, otherwise a 'Loss of Sequencer Communication' Alarm is issued and if the
Compressor is running it will automatically revert to Local Start Mode and Auto Capacity Control Mode.
Writing to Modbus Register 2210 will cancel these timers and will avoid checking for 'Loss of Sequencer
Communication.'
N32:12 402213 Remote Slide Valve Control % W 0.0 to 100.0 % X10
Note: Control Mode must be set to Remote Slide Valve (Modbus Register 2351, Value=3).
Capacity Control Mode will control the slide valve to this value when Compressor Capacity Control
Mode is set to Auto (Modbus Register 2203, Value=3). There is a fixed 2.0% deadband and fixed
10.0% proportional band in this control. If an overload condition is present, the control will force unload
the slide valve.
N32:13 402214 Remote VFD Control % W 0.0 to 100.0 % X10
Note: VFD Control Mode must be set to Remote (Modbus Register 2397, Value=3).
VFD will control VFD PID output to this value. If an overload condition is present, the control will force
unload the VFD.

Remote Slide Valve Control % to the value written, and a value from 1000 to 2000 will set the Remote
Slide Valve Control % to 100.0% and the Remote VFD Control % to (written value - 1000) %.

General Information
Introduction
This section provides detailed information on the FES GForce™ compressor control panel hardware, historical
data logging, on-line documentation and service features. Refer to the ‘GForce™ Operations Manual’ section for
the operation of specific compressor models.

The front of the control panel features a fifteen inch full color LCD with a resistive touch screen as the user
interface. The Emergency Stop switch is wired directly to the Compressor Motor starter as well as to an input on
the controller. The Emergency Stop switch should not be used during normal operation to stop the compressor.
Power for the panel computer can only be turned off at a breaker inside the panel.

Figure 1 GForce™ Screen with Overlay

The panel operates in two tabular display modes. This screen displays all of the current instrument readings,
digital I/O states, operating and alarm parameters, alarms, shutdowns and operating modes all on one screen.

Historical Data can be displayed in either tabular or graphical formats. System manuals and drawings are
available on-screen using an embedded PDF viewer.

Operating parameter settings can be saved to and recalled from a removable USB memory device to allow
greater operating flexibility. Software update utilities are included on the panel, program updates are handled
through the USB port.

All of the features and functions of the control panel are available remotely via an Ethernet connection. The
display on the remote computer is an exact duplicate of the local screen.

Hardware Overview
Touch Screen
The touch screen is the user interface to the control panel. It is protected with a hard-coated polyester overlay for
abrasion and chemical resistance. It may be cleaned with a cloth or towel and most commercial glass and surface
cleaners.

Emergency Stop
The Emergency Stop switch is a push to stop, twist to release switch. When activated it interrupts power to the
compressor motor starter output. A shutdown annunciation is also generated.

Processor Assembly
The processor assembly is mounted on the inside of the
enclosure door. USB and Ethernet ports are available at
the top of the assembly. Components inside this assembly
are not serviceable in the field. The entire assembly may
be removed by disconnecting the power and
communications cables and removing the six nuts holding
it in place. Slots are provided on the mounting bracket that
allow the top two nuts to be loosened but left in place. The
polyester overlay is not attached to the processor assembly
so the environmental seal of the enclosure is not affected if
changing out the processor assembly is ever required.

Figure 2 Processor Assembly

General Purpose I/O Board


Mounted on the back plate, this board provides analog input signal
conditioning, interface to the digital I/O racks, analog outputs and line
voltage and panel temperature monitoring. The Processor Assembly
communicates with the General Purpose I/O Board through P3 on a
proprietary RS485 network. Transient protection is provided and
termination is jumper selectable via J4. For a single General Purpose I/O
Board installed in a Compressor Control Panel all of the termination
jumpers should be in the ‘OFF’ position. The board slave address is set
using J3; for a compressor control panel this is usually ‘1’, only the ‘1’
jumper should be in the ‘ON’ position.

Jumper J1 is used for firmware updates to the General Purpose I/O Board,
when the connector is not in use the right two pins must be jumpered to
enable digital I/O rack function.

Switch SW1 will reset the microcontroller on the General Purpose I/O
board, all outputs will be turned off and communications to the Processor
Assembly will be interrupted.

Status LED’s are provided to give indication of various functions.

Hardware
Analog Inputs
The 725-06319C-001 General Purpose I/O Board has sixteen channels of
analog input. The factory-configured program defines the purpose and
scaling for each of these inputs. Each input has jumpers to make it
electrically compatible with 0-5V/1-5V, 4-20mA, and ICTD (integrated-circuit
temperature device) signals. Inputs can be factory configured to accept 0-5V,
0-20mA or 0-24mA signals in addition to standard 1-5V or 4-20 mA ranges.
The inputs can tolerate excursions up to 24VDC above and below ground
without generating erroneous readings. If the input signal goes above
5.00V(20mA) or below 0V a fault flag is set and an alarm is annunciated.
Test points are provided to monitor the inputs to the analog to digital
converter. These are always voltage readings. To convert a 4-20mA signal to
voltage multiply the current by 250 ohms.

Figure 7 GPIO II Analog Input Jumpers

GPIO Boards 725-05045C-001 and 725-06200C-001 have a set of jumpers for channels
13 through 16 to accommodate ICTDs scaled -50°C to +150°C(-58°F to +302°F). When
scaling an ICTD for this range the jumper for the desired channel on J7 must be set to
‘ICTD OR VOLTAGE’ and the jumper on J8 must be set to ‘-50 TO +150 ICTD’. If the
channel is used for a full range ICTD, 4-20 mA transducer or Voltage Output transducer
J8 must be set to ‘VOLTAGE ICTD OR 4-20 mA’. Increased resolution of the ADC on
725-06319C-001 eliminated the need for these jumpers. If the Process Temperature
option is used channel 16 is configured as a -50°C to +150°C ICTD.

Fault detection is not available on 725-05045C-001 and 725-06200C-001.

Figure 8 Old Style GPIO Board Analog Input Jumpers

The connectors plugged into P5 and P6 are a


spring clamp type that will accept a 24-16 AWG
wire. Each row of the connector provides
connections for a two or three wire sensor, the
red terminal is +24V, the gray terminal is the
signal and the blue is the common. To insert or
release a wire press gently on the colored pin
with a small screwdriver, insert or remove the
wire and release. IMPORTANT The two red
terminals in the top row and two blue terminals
in the bottom row must be jumpered as shown
to connect the common power supplies on the
connector.

Programming and configuration jumpers. The Slave Address jumpers


determine the communications address for the General Purpose I/O
Board. Each board in the system must have a unique address. In a
compressor control panel the address is always set to ‘1’ for the board
that controls basic compressor functions. The addresses of any additional
General Purpose I/O boards will be specified on the Enclosure Diagram.
Figure 13 shows the jumpers configurations for all possible addresses. J4
configures communications cable termination, all jumpers should be in the
‘OFF’ position. J1 is used to update the General Purpose I/O board
firmware, for normal operation there must be a jumper on the pair of pins
above the heart symbol.

Analog Overcurrent Reset
The analog over current circuitry is located on the lower left side of the
processor board. LED5 in the lower right corner of the board glows green
normally, LED6 should be off. If excessive current is drawn by a sensor
connected to P5 or P6, the analog over current circuitry will interrupt the
+24VDC supplied to the sensors and LED5 will go off and LED6 will glow
red. If the analog over current circuit is tripped, the user should examine
the analog sensors and related wiring for shorts. Once the fault has been
discovered, press the Analog Overcurrent Reset button SW2. If the fault
has been removed, LED 6 will go off and LED5 will again glow green.

Figure 14 Analog Overcurrent Section


Digital I/O Racks
Each digital I/O rack supports up to 24 I/O modules. Each
General Purpose I/O board will support two I/O Racks. I/O
modules are equipped with an integral LED status indicator and
output modules have a built-in fuse. Modules are color coded for
operating voltage and function. AC output modules for 120 or
240V are black, AC input modules are yellow. DC outputs are
red, DC inputs are white. A special low current dry contact
module for PLC interface is also red, this can switch 120V AC
loads that are less than 100 mW. Both the input and output
modules are available with Hand-Off-Auto switches, these can
be used for an HOA function on the outputs as long as the logic
power to the I/O rack is available. Input modules with the HOA
option are recommended only for testing and trouble-shooting.
The second input module from the right in the bottom row is
equipped with an HOA switch.

Analog Outputs
GPIO Board II 725-06319C-001.There are up to twelve available channels of
analog output. They may be added in groups of four outputs. The factory-
configuration defines the purpose and scaling for each these outputs. For a
specific application, these outputs may be used to control a compressor motor
VFD, a variable speed fan, or modulate a control valve. In addition to the software
configuration, optional hardware components must be installed to use the analog
outputs. 4-20mA Output Cards (FES part number 725-06320C-001) may be
installed in one or more of the three available locations on the GPIO Board II. The
example shows a single output card installed. (This is equivalent to a 725-05045C-
001 or 725-06200C-001 GPIO board with four AD420AN chips installed.) A
connector is included on each output card. On each card, jumper block J1
determines the power source for the DACs. Both halves of J1 must be moved
together. With J1 in the lower position, the GForce™ Panel’s +24VDC power
supply will energize the 4-20mA current loop (all four channels). External devices
connected using this configuration must have fully differential inputs (not
referenced to ground). If ground isolation is necessary, move both halves of J1 to
the upper position and apply an external floating +24VDC source to P1-1 (positive)
and P1-2 (negative). The four channels on each output card share a common
ground, the grounds on the individual output cards may be isolated from each
other.

Hardware
Each output channel is equipped with fault detection circuitry; if the current set by the GForce does not match the
current flowing in the loop an alarm is annunciated. If field devices are not connected these alarms will not be able
to be cleared. If a field device is not available, a resistor between 250 and 400 ohms may be temporarily installed
between the + and – terminals to allow the alarm to be cleared.

GPIO Boards 725-05045C-001 and 725-06200C-001. Plug P8


must be installed and an AD420AN transmitter integrated circuit

Power Supply
The power supply is rated for 3A at 24VDC and is sized to support a
minimum of 20 4-20 mA loop powered transmitters and the IntelliSOC™
Control Valve option. The output of the power supply is adjustable and
should be set between 23.0V and 25.0V when the panel is operating. This
device carries a UL NEC Class 2 rating and must only be replaced with a
Class 2 device to insure continued safe operation.

Optional Hardware

CT/4-20 mA Converter
The GForce™ Control Panel is designed to accept a 4-20 mA
signal as a compressor motor current input. If the motor starter is
not equipped with a 4-20 mA output, such as on a retrofit, a CT/4-
20 mA Converter is provided in the panel. This converter is
mounted in the lower left corner of the panel. When shipped from
the factory this units is setup for a 5A CT current. If a 1A CT
current is required, a DIP switch setting inside the converter must
be changed. The converter manufacturer’s manual is included in
the control panel drawing pocket to assist in configuration.
Figure 21 CT/4-20 mA Converter

4-20mA Loop Isolator


In some cases it is necessary to isolate in incoming 4-20 mA signal to avoid ground loop
problems. Typically this device is mounted on the power supply terminal rail. There are no jumper
settings required for this module.

Figure 22 Current Loop Isolator

Motor Thermal Monitor


This optional device may be present in some control panels equipped to
control VFD motors. It monitors a PTC thermistor in the compressor motor
and issues a shutdown if the motor is overheating. It is mounted at the
bottom of the main terminal rail on the left side of the enclosure.

Historical Data
Historical Data
Historical Data is present in both tabular and graphical formats. Data is captured based on the period set by the
‘Long Term Sampling Period’ parameter. This file is saved daily for later reference. Several months of data can be
maintained on the GForce™ Panel and these files can be copied to a USB memory device using the ‘File
Manager’. Data is stored in a Microsoft Excel compatible TXT file format. The filename is based on the date as
shown in this example, for November 21, 2006, the file name is ‘11_21_06.txt’. RxTrend data is captured every 10
seconds and a 10 minute snapshot of this data is saved when an alarm or shutdown occurs. File names include
the time, date and annunciation that caused the data to be saved. For example the file name, ’Auxiliary Shutdown
#1_11_15_06 11_14_40.txt’ indicates a shutdown from the Auxiliary Shutdown #1 input at 11:14:40 on November
15, 2006. The Historical Table and Historical Graph are described in detail on the following pages.

The [Interval] button opens a dialog to set the Long-Term Sampling Period.
This value is also displayed in the Operating Parameters frame of the
OmniView. The sampling interval is adjustable from one to one hundred
and twenty minutes. The Long-Term Historical data file can record
approximately six months worth of data. A sample is recorded each time
the Long-Term Sampling Period timer expires or whenever a Shutdown or
Alarm occurs. This data is intended to provide a record of compressor and
system activity.

The ‘Local Email Address’ is the email address of the panel. This is the address that is used as the source ‘From:’
address and as the destination address to acknowledge messages and to request additional historical data. This
address must be defined with a user name and password by the end user. FES recommends that password
authentication be used to maintain security.

The SMTP server must be setup for the panel to send messages. The POP3 server must be setup to receive
messages. The SMTP and POP3 ports shown are for illustration only and must be confirmed with the network
administrator.

Clicking the ‘Test Connection’ button you can send test messages using the entered data. In the dialog it will
show diagnostic messages to help troubleshooting.

The timeout delay determines both the delay between the attempts to contact the Level 1 and Level 2 addresses
and the timeout after contacting Level 2.

The email addresses of the desired recipients are assigned either Level 1 or Level 2, multiple addresses may be
assigned on each level.

When an alarm or shutdown occurs an email is set to any Level 1 email addresses. If none of these recipients
respond within the allotted time, emails will be sent to the Level 2 addresses. If the timeout delay elapses a
second time the panel will no longer accept a response.

GForce™ Communications Network
GForce™ Control Panels are connected to each other and to supervisory systems using an industry
standard IEEE 802.3 10/100 Ethernet network. Network media may be Cat 5e cable, optical fiber or
wireless. Protocol is Modbus Ethernet; refer to MCP-170 GForce™ Communications Protocol for a list of
data points.

The FES GComm interface allows connection of devices on the GForce™ Ethernet network to existing
FES ComMENT networks. The GComm interface operates in two modes, Master and Slave.

Master mode is used when a GForce™ Control Panel is sequencing compressors on a ComMENT
network. In this mode, data from the GForce™ Panel is not available on the ComMENT network.
Communications from the GForce™ panel to other GForce™ Panels, a supervisory system, plant
intranet, or the Internet are handled over Ethernet. Only one GComm interface is required per ComMENT
network when operating in this mode.

Slave mode is used when a GForce™ Control Panel is being sequenced by a panel on the ComMENT
network or if it is desirable to obtain data from the GForce™ over ComMENT for a supervisory system not
equipped with Ethernet. A GComm interface is required for each GForce™ panel connected to the
ComMENT network. Not all data points described in MCP-170 are available through a GComm Slave
Interface, only basic compressor data is available. MCP-170 indicates which data points are available
when GComm is operating in Slave mode. If access to the full GForce™ communications protocol is
required the Ethernet interface must be used.

FES does not recommend any specific cable but it must be a minimum of CAT5e. The cable may be run
in open air or in a communications conduit or cable tray but never with AC control or high voltage wiring.
Maximum length of any cable run is 300 feet (100 meters). Longer distances require the installation of a
hub or switch.

Typical Ethernet Network

Revision: G
Page 2 of 32 Effective: 04-2012
Installing the Network
Installation and testing of the cables and network hubs/switches is the responsibility of the customer’s IT
department or contractor designated by the customer. All wiring must be per the latest edition of the NEC
and all local codes.

Each GForce™ control panel requires a cable from the central Ethernet hub or switch. The GComm
® ®
interface and the VTrac or Life Trac interface both require there own respective cable runs. If both a
® ®
GComm and a VTrac or Life Trac are installed in a panel, a total of three cables must be pulled.

All cable runs must be tested before connection to the GForce™ Control Panels.

Configuring the Panel
The GForce™ panel can be setup to use DHCP or a static IP
address. DHCP can be used primarily in a stand alone environment
where sequencing of the particular panel that is being configured is
not required or the panel is acting as a master sequencer to other
panels. In most cases, a static IP address will and should be used.

To get to the Setup Network form, navigate through the menu bar to
the service menu item and select Setup Network in the drop down list.
Note that you must be a ‘Service’ level user to gain access to this
screen.

The Setup Network screen contains two panel areas, one for each Ethernet network port on the
motherboard. The top panel corresponds to Port #2 and the bottom
panel corresponds to Port #1. It is advised by FES that only Port #1,
which is shown in the picture at right, is used.

To setup the panel to use DHCP, touch the checkbox in the bottom Port 1
left corner of particular Ethernet port that is active. Click the
[REFRESH] button to view the IP address that was assigned to the
panel by the DHCP routing device.

To setup the panel with a static IP address, ensure that the DHCP
checkbox is not checked. Then click in the IP Address textbox and
enter the IP Address you wish to assign the panel in the keypad. It is Port 2
also required that you enter the subnet mask and default gateway in
order for a static IP address to work appropriately. Please see your Figure 1 Ethernet Ports
network system administrator for the proper values to enter if you are unsure.

Configuring GCommII
If you need to communicate from a GForce™ to legacy FES micro panels a GCommII master will bridge
the Ethernet and ComMENT networks. If you need to communicate from a legacy FES micro panels to
GForce™ panels, a GComm slave device will bridge ComMENT and Ethernet (note: one GCommII Slave
device will be needed per GForce™ control panel which is on the ComMENT network).

This is not necessary in all applications. However, when it is required, please follow the instructions below
to set an IP address, verify serial settings, and if necessary configure the routing table for each device.

A GCommII slave is typically used when a MicroIII control panel is performing compressor sequencing
and there is a single or multiple GForce™ compressor panels which will be sequenced. A GCommII
slave is installed in each the GForce™ panels. It is important to note that proper configuration of the
GCommII slave AND the GForce™ panel is required in order for proper operation on the ComMENT
network. The IP address of the slave GForce must be configured to match the Node ID as set in the
operating parameter as well as the rotary switches of the GCommII slave card.

GForce™ IP = 192.168.1.4 Decimal


Operating Parameter Node ID = 4 Decimal
Rotary Switches on GCommII slave = 04 Hexadecimal

It is also important to note that the IP address of the GCommII slave should be set to something unique
and high in the valid range (ex. 192.168.1.94)

A GCommII master is typically used when a GForce™ control panel is performing compressor
sequencing and there are legacy FES micro panels on a ComMENT network which will be sequenced.
The GCommII master is typically installed in the GForce™ sequencing panel and will bridge all of the
legacy FES micro panels. The IP address of the GCommII master is entered in the GForce™
compressor sequencing screen for each of the legacy FES panels as well as the corresponding
ComMENT node ID. The GCommII master node ID (rotary switches) should be set to a unique number
high in the valid range (ex. FF, FE, FD, FC, etc…).

Reference FES Drawing # 726-06009C to verify appropriate dipswitch settings.


Reference FES Drawing # 726-00512D for GComm ComMENT wiring information.

Assigning an IP Address to the GCommII


The GCommII’s default IP address is set at the factory to a static IP address of 192.168.1.101.

To reassign the IP address, connect a PC or laptop to the GCommII Ethernet port with an
Ethernet crossover cable. Ensure that the GForce™ is powered up and the appropriate Lantronix
DeviceInstaller software is installed on the PC or laptop that is being used to configure the
GCommII.

1. Click Start Programs  Lantronix DeviceInstaller  DeviceInstaller. If your PC has more


than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click OK.

2. Highlight the device on the right pane of the window. Then click the Assign IP button in the
top button bar.

3. If prompted, enter the hardware address (on the product label) and click Next.

4. Select “Assign a Specific IP Address” and click the Next button.

5. Enter the IP address,Subnet Mask and Default Gateway as determined by your network
administrator. If your network consists of only FES GForce™ and GCommII devices, you can
assign IP addresses in the range “192.168.1.nnn” where nnn is any unique number 1 – 255.
The Subnet mask displays automatically based on the IP address; if desired, you may
change it. On a simple local network, you can leave the Default gateway blank (all zeros).
Click the Next button.

Document: MCP-180
Revision: G
Page 6 of 32 Effective: 04-2012
6. NOTE: Clicking the “Assign” button will attempt to assign the Serial-to-Ethernet converter a
new IP address. If you are unsure of the settings or what they mean, click the “Cancel”
button to exit out of the current action and consult your network administrator or FES service
for more information. If you are sure you want to assign the IP address, Click the Assign
button and wait until a confirmation message displays. Then click the “Finish” button.

To Verify IP address settings, select the device from the main window list and select Ping from
the Tools menu. The Ping Device dialog box shows the IP address of the selected unit.

From the Tools menu, click the Ping button. The results display in the Status window. Click the
Clear status button to clear the window so you can ping the device again. Note: If you do not
receive “Reply” messages, make sure the unit is attached to the network properly and the IP
address assigned is valid for the particular network segment you are working with. If you are not
sure, check with your network administrator.

Click the Close button to close the dialog box and return to the main window.

GCommII Slave Setup (Serial Settings)

COMPRESSOR PACKAGES
SECTION 4 COMPRESSOR STARTUP PROCEDURE
Introduction
This section contains information for conducting initial startup, normal operational startup, and restart
after power failure.
Pre Startup Requirements
Initial startup must be supervised by an FES authorized startup representative. Failure to have this
person present will void the compressor package warranty. This section should be carefully read and
understood to prevent damage to the compressor or system.
Required Actions-Installing Mechanic
A. Make all refrigerant piping connections.
B. Provide liquid refrigerant line for liquid injection or thermosiphon oil cooling. Provide water
piping if water cooled oil cooler is used. A high pressure refrigerant gas line must be provided
for TX liquid injection cooled booster compressors for external equalizing of the liquid injection
expansion control valve (not required for IntelliSOC™). Compressor package drawings supplied
with the package will show compressor connections.
C. Pressure test all refrigerant connections, before insulation is applied, and charge the system with
refrigerant.
D. Connect all power, control and auxiliary equipment. Do not energize control (120 or 220 volt)
power supply to the GForce™ panel.
E. Fill the oil sump with the initial charge of oil to midway on the top sightglass. Some packages
are precharged with oil but the oil may not be visible since some of it may have moved to the
secondary side of the separator during shipment. Shipping documents should be checked to
find if an initial oil charge was installed.
F. Do not turn on the oil heaters prior to the arrival of the FES startup representative.
G. Do not energize motor circuits for rotation check prior to the arrival of the FES startup
representative.
CAUTION: The oil pump, compressor, and microprocessor are to be initially started only under the
direct supervision of the FES startup representative.
Required Services-FES Startup Representative
A. Verify that all electrical connections are correct.
B. Check the function and settings of all electrical and mechanical controls of the screw compressor
package.
C. Verify the alignment of the compressor and compressor motor.

Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Document: GL-34
Revision: A
1 Effective: 04-08
D. Instruct the operating personnel in the operation and maintenance of the GL Series compressor
package.
E. Inspect the system for obvious faults or defects which may damage the compressor.
After the initial checkout procedures are completed, the compressor startup will proceed as described
below in "Initial Startup Sequence". After as many hours as possible (at least three hours), but before
the FES Startup Representative leaves the job, the customer must inspect and clean the oil pump suction
screen, and compressor suction strainer screen. If the oil filter pressure drop is 15 psid the oil filter
should be changed at this time. Otherwise, the spare filter should be kept for future use.
Initial Startup Sequence
After the prestartup checks have been conducted for a new installation or for restart after maintenance or
service shutdown, the following procedure should be observed when starting the compressor:
A. Check the oil level in the oil sump. During shutdown the oil level should be at the middle of the
top sight glass. When the compressor is operating, the oil level will not be below the lower sight
glass.
B. Check for the correct position of all valves as shown below:
1. Compressor suction valve should be open.
2. Compressor discharge valve should be open.
3. For external oil cooled applications, open the main oil injection metering valve as
required to maintain the desired discharge temperature. For liquid injection applications,
open the main oil injection metering valve ¼ - ½ open (where applicable). Throttling the
main oil injection valve may be required to reduce noise or vibration caused by excessive
oil flow. If the package is supplied with an auxiliary main oil injection valve, this valve
should be opened as required to maintain an acceptable discharge temperature and/or
acceptable noise/vibration levels.
4. Open the oil feed valves to ports L, K, and G.
5. Open all valves feeding transducers on the microprocessor control panel. Be sure the
vent and purge valves are closed.
6. Open the oil supply valve to the oil header.
NOTE: If dual oil filters are supplied the standby oil filter supply service valves will be closed, and
the outlet valve must be open.
7. Open the secondary oil return metering valve 1 turn open. The service stop valves should
be fully open.
8. Open the service valve from the oil differential relief regulator.
9. If this is a liquid injection cooled compressor, open the liquid supply to the feed station.
If this is an externally cooled compressor, the water feed valves or refrigerant supply
valves should be open.
10. If economized, the economizer supply should be closed. It should be opened slowly after
initial compressor operation is confirmed.
11. Refer to the compressor schematic supplied with package and set any other valves to the
position for normal operation.
Document: GL-34
Revision: A
Effective: 04-08 2
C. Set the control power circuit breaker (1CB) to the on position.
D. Close the oil heater circuit breakers so power will be applied to oil heaters. Power should be
applied 24 hours prior to compressor startup or as required to attain a minimum oil temperature
of 90°F.
E. Ensure the disconnect to the compressor motor is open.
NOTE: Some starters do not have a separate motor and control voltage disconnect, in which case the
motor leads must be disconnected from the starter.
This is necessary only if this is the initial start up or the motor or the wiring to the motor has
been changed.
F. Put the panel in service mode, use the 'User Level' selection on the menu bar at the top of the
screen. A password is required. Start the oil pump by pressing the [OIL PUMP] button. Allow
the oil pump to run for approximately 30 seconds to lubricate the compressor bearings. Stop the
oil pump by pressing the [OIL PUMP] button.
G. Close the disconnect or reconnect the motor leads to the compressor motor. See step E above.
H. Check compressor rotation. Facing the compressor shaft, the rotation should be CLOCKWISE.
To check rotation, touch the [LOCAL START] button and after going through the normal
starting sequence, the compressor will start. As soon as the direction of rotation is confirmed,
stop the compressor motor by pressing the [STOP] button. This check is only necessary if this is
the initial startup or the motor or wiring has been changed.
I. Enter variable setpoints into the GForce™ control panel.
J. Depress the [AUTO] capacity control button or the [EXTERNAL] button, if controlled by an
auxiliary control. This will allow the machine to control capacity.
K. Press the [LOCAL START] button, or if the compressor is to be sequenced by an auxiliary
control, push the [REMOTE START] button (the button will be illuminated, and the button will
go dark). This will enable the compressor to start depending on set up. From this point the
startup sequence will be automatic and the following will occur:
1. If the compressor was started previously within the anti-recycle time delay period, the
[ANTI-RECYCLE] button will be illuminated. The compressor start will be delayed
until the anti-recycle timer has completed its timing cycle. The compressor data display
screen will also show an "Oil Drain Time". This is the amount of time required to
properly drain oil from the compressor prior to restarting. The compressor start will be
delayed until the oil drain timer has completed its timing cycle.
2. If the compressor has not been started recently or the anti-recycle timer has timed out, the
following will occur simultaneously:
a. The [OIL PUMP] button will be illuminated. The oil pump will start and establish
oil pressure. Oil pressure must be established within 10 seconds or the startup
sequence will terminate and the compressor will not start.
b. The slide valve will move to the unload position (less than 5%). The compressor
must unload within 180 seconds or the start sequence will terminate.
3. Once the compressor slide valve has reached less than 5% and oil pressure has been
established, the following will occur:

Document: GL-34
Revision: A
3 Effective: 04-08
a. The compressor will start.
b. A loss of oil pressure for 6 seconds is allowed at this time.
c. There will be a 15 second delay before the compressor begins to load.
d. The elapsed time meter will start timing to display compressor operating hours as soon as
the compressor starts.
The compressor will now operate automatically. The capacity controller will cause the compressor slide
valve to load and unload to maintain the desired system pressure or temperature.
Parameter Setup
Once the compressor conditions have stabilized and normal suction and discharge conditions have been
reached, there are several compressor operating parameters that must be set. The settings and
adjustments that must be made are as follows:
A. Adjust the liquid injection oil cooling. Refer to Figure 2-2 for system explanation and
schematics. Adjust the outlet pressure regulating valve (OPRV) per instructions in Section 2 to
maintain the oil temperature listed in Table 2-1. Allow the compressor to run for several hours
to observe any changes in oil temperature. If the oil temperature should drop more than 5°F
below the recommended limits, adjust the OPRV for a higher pressure which will reduce the
refrigerant flow for oil cooling. If the oil temperature should increase more than 5°F above the
recommended limits, adjust the OPRV for a lower pressure which will increase refrigerant flow
for oil cooling. Do not adjust the thermal expansion valve (#5 or #10) to control oil temperature.
After system equilibrium is obtained, the liquid injection oil cooling system will operate
automatically without manual adjustment.
B. Once the oil temperature has reached operating temperature, some decrease in oil pressure may
be experienced. The oil pressure should be adjusted to the requirements given in Table 2-1. Oil
pressure is adjusted by changing the setting of the vee ported plug type regulating valve in the oil
bypass line to the separator. This valve is adjusted by removing the top cover and turning the
stem clockwise to increase oil pressure and counterclockwise to decrease oil pressure.
C. When oil pressure and temperature are stable, adjust the compressor slide valve load and unload
rate. GL Series compressor packages employ a double hydraulic cylinder to operate the slide
valve as illustrated in Figure 2-4. The rate of slide valve movement is adjusted by means of the
three needle check valve settings (two for load, one for unload). The load and unload valves are
identified in Figure 2-5. Closing the needle valves slows the rate of slide valve movement. Set
the needle valves such that is takes 30 to 60 seconds to load or unload the compressor from 0%
to 100% and from 100% to 0%, respectively.
Normal Shutdown Sequence
It is recommended that the compressor is first unloaded before shutdown. The normal shutdown
sequence is initiated by pressing the [STOP] button. This will cause the following:
A. The compressor will stop immediately and the [STOP] button will be illuminated.
B. The oil pump will continue to run until the slide valve moves to the less than 5% position or for a
minimum of 5 seconds, and then it shuts down.

Also, if the package will be exposed to below freezing temperatures during shutdown, the oil cooler and
piping must be heated or drained.
To restart after extended shutdown use the following procedure:
a. If water cooled, take necessary action to return cooling water to the cooler. Open the supply and
return valves and remove CLOSED tags.
b. Inspect the compressor for any damage or corrosion that may have occurred during prolonged
shutdown.
c. Open the compressor suction and discharge valves, and if supplied, the liquid injection feed stop
valve. Remove CLOSED tags. If economized, the supply valve will be opened after startup.
d. Close disconnects to the compressor and oil pump.
e. Turn the CONTROL POWER switch to the ON position. Close the circuit breakers to the oil
heaters. Allow the oil to warm to 90°F.
f. Proceed with the startup as described in Section 4.
B. Oil Filters
All GL Series compressor packages are furnished with one main 15 micron high efficiency single or
multiple cartridge oil filter. As an option, dual oil filters are available so that the compressor can
continue to operate while one filter is being changed (Only one filter is used during operation, the
second serves as 100% backup).
C. Main Oil Filter
UNLESS DUAL OIL FILTERS ARE SUPPLIED, IT IS NECESSARY TO SHUT DOWN THE
COMPRESSOR BEFORE REPLACING FILTER ELEMENTS.
Filter elements should be changed when the pressure drop across the filter exceeds 15 psid or yearly.
The procedure for changing the main oil filter is as follows:
a. If a single oil filter was supplied, shut down the package by depressing the STOP button and
open the disconnects to the compressor and oil pump.
If dual oil filters were supplied, SLOWLY open the upstream service stop valve to the filter not in use.
The valve must be opened slowly to prevent a sudden lowering of oil pressure.
b. Close the service stop valves to the filter that is having the elements replaced.
c. Connect a hose to the purge and drain valves at the bottom of the oil filter (located on oil supply
pipe). Insert the free end of the hose into a container to collect oil drained from the filter.
SLOWLY open the purge (use the oil pressure transducer vent valve) and drain valves to release
pressure.
d. Loosen the capscrews retaining the filter cover and cover O-ring. Remove and retain the
capscrews after the oil has drained from housing.
e. Remove and keep the nuts holding the filter cartridge retainer. Remove and keep the filter
cartridge retainer.
f. Remove the front oil filter cartridge and then remove the back cartridge(s). Used cartridges can
then be properly disposed. Be sure to clean sealing surfaces to remove any gasket material from
previous filter elements.
g. Clean the canister interior with clean oil and wipe with a clean lint free cloth.

h. Install the new filters and retainer. Reinstall the retainer nuts.
i. Install the cover and oil soaked O-ring using the original capscrews.
j. Close the purge and drain valve.
k. Slowly open the inlet stop valve to the oil filter. Then slowly open the outlet stop valve from oil
filter.
l. If a single oil filter was supplied, the filter is now ready to be placed in service and the
compressor is ready to be restarted.
If a dual oil filter was supplied, this filter becomes the back up and the inlet stop valve should be
closed (outlet open) until the other filter is changed.
D. Strainer
Cleaning the oil pump strainer REQUIRES COMPRESSOR SHUTDOWN. To clean the strainer use
the following procedure:
a. Stop the compressor by depressing STOP. Open the disconnects to the compressor and oil
pump.
b. Close the stop valves to and from the oil strainer and close the stop valve at the outlet of the oil
differential pressure regulator.
c. Open the strainer purge and drain valves. Collect the oil in a container for disposal.
d. Loosen and remove the capscrews on the cover. Keep the capscrews for later use. Remove the
cover and O-ring.
e. Remove the strainer basket and wash in solvent. Blow with air to dry and clean.
f. Wipe the inside of the strainer housing with a clean dry lint free cloth.
g. Replace the strainer basket and install the cover and O-ring using the original capscrews.
h. Close the vent and drain valves and open the stop valves closed in Step b. Close the disconnects
to the compressor and oil pump motors.
i. The compressor can now be restarted.
E. Liquid Refrigerant Strainers
A number of liquid refrigerant strainers may be used on the GL Series compressor depending on the
type of oil cooling and other optional equipment supplied. For this reason a general procedure is given
that can be used for the equipment supplied. Refer to the equipment schematic provided with the
package to find specific locations of valves. The procedure is as follows:
a. Stop the compressor by depressing STOP and open the disconnects to the compressor and motor.
b. Close the liquid supply stop valve to the strainer and solenoid valve.
c. OPEN THE SOLENOID MANUALLY BY SCREWING IN THE VALVE STEM AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE VALVE. This will prevent liquid from being trapped between the solenoid
valve and the stop valve.
d. Allow time for the liquid refrigerant to evaporate then close the stop valve immediately down
stream of the solenoid valve.
e. When it can be determined that there is no remaining refrigerant in the strainer body or basket,
cautiously loosen the bolts holding the strainer cover.

procedure.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The compressor package can operate at peak performance only when it is properly maintained and
serviced. To ensure dependable and long life performance, a regular scheduled maintenance program
should be followed.
An operating log should be kept showing when maintenance was performed as well as results from
machine inspections for leaks, vibration, noise, oil quality, etc. A reference point for inspections should
be established when the package is placed in operation. A check for unusual or abnormal conditions
should be made on a daily basis. A Condition Based Monitoring Program should be employed. It should
include vibration surveys, oil analysis and at least axial float checks on the thrust bearings.
A. Oil Quality and Analysis
The proper type and condition of refrigeration oil is essential for maintaining compressor performance
and useful life. Oil quality changes rapidly and reflects both system and compressor mechanical
problems. Conditions such as bearing wear, contaminants, excessive temperature, and moisture are all
indicated by oil condition. Use the following recommendations to maintain the required quality from
the compressor oil.
a. Use only the oil recommended by FES for the refrigerant and duty specified. Contact the FES
service department if there are any question concerning the proper oil to use.
b. At start up, take two 8 oz. oil samples and place them in clean containers. One sample should be
used as a visual reference point to compare to later samples. Oil that appears murky, discolored,
milky or markedly different from the original sample indicates a possible problem requiring
further analysis. The second sample is to be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The analysis
should show, as a minimum, wear particle analysis, viscosity, contaminants (i.e. iron, copper,
etc.), and moisture content. The second sample's laboratory report will then be the reference
point for future samples. Each time the oil is changed new reference samples must be taken.
c. The FES service department can provide oil analysis services if a local laboratory is unavailable.
B. Vibration Analysis
The analysis of changes in vibration patterns and levels can provide valuable information on both
machine and structural components. In order for the vibration analysis to provide useful data, the
following guidelines should be used.

Document: GL-4
Revision: F
Effective: 05-09 6
a. Initial data should be taken at startup to use as a reference for later readings. Data should include
the location and orientation of each reading, the slide valve setting, the Vi setting, and the main
oil injection setting. Any future readings should be taken at these same conditions.
b. Vibration readings are most useful if spectrum data is taken. This data shows both the velocity
and frequency of the vibration.
c. Vibration surveys should be conducted at least every six months or every 4000hrs, whichever
comes first.
d. Vibration data can be misleading if not interpreted properly. Also, vibration can occur as a result
of other nearby equipment or be amplified by structural resonance. Questions concerning
vibration data and its application should be referred to the FES service department.
C. Maintenance Schedule
A recommended maintenance schedule for normal refrigeration duty is shown as Table 5-1. This
program should be followed if maximum compressor package performance and life is to be obtained.

Maintenance
Properly applied and installed, AMOT Thermostatic Valves require minimal maintenance.
If necessary, the temperature element assembly may be easily replaced without disturbing the valve connection piping as
follows: Remove bolts and separate the Cover / Element Cartridge (2) and Sleeve O-Ring (4) from the valve body. Remove
Element Assembly (3) and Element O-Ring (5). Lubricate new Element O-Ring (5) with a good grade of petroleum grease
and install in the O-ring groove in the valve body. Insert the Element Assembly (3) through the Element O-Ring (5) of the
element cartridge with a twisting motion. Install new Sleeve O-Ring (4) and bolt on the valve Cover / Element Cartridge (2).

Assuring long The refrigeration mechanic should take the time


lasting performance to identify critical system components, with
(continued) the purpose of making a plant specific service
manual where inspection and service intervals
are clearly defined.

Scheduling Service and Inspection


The ideal frequency of inspections and
preventive maintenance intervals varies from
system to system. However, experience shows
that certain events or conditions influence the
ideal length of time between inspections and
service intervals. These events or conditions are
mentioned below:
3 months following a new system start-up
Immediately prior to re-starting a system that
has been idle for 6 months or more.
Immediately prior to re-starting a system that
has experienced a major component failure.
Periodical inspection: Adjusted according to
plant conditions.

Maintenance That may cause increased wear or damage of


of the stop valves the valve. That’s why it is extremely important
to follow the installation procedures and not to
introduce any dirt in the system while assembling
it.

Danfoss stop valves SVA DN 50-300 have special


Teflon valve seat with carbon. That significantly
reduces the wearing of the seat and increases
service intervals.

It is a must in any plant that stop valves operate


reliably. In this manual we give suggestions, how
to estimate service intervals for stop valves, and
what parts should be changed during service in
Despite the robust design of Danfoss industrial order to provide reliable operation.
refrigeration stop valves, the life time and
performance can be reduced by the above
mentioned factors.

Dirt is especially dangerous for the stop valves.


In extremely contaminated systems frequent
operation of the stop valve may allow dirt to
penetrate in to the thread between the bonnet
and the spindle.

in a manner that enables them to be replaced.
When a dual pressure relief system is being put into
service, the three-way valve stem should be positioned
so that only one valve is exposed to pressure. While the
valve can be either frontseated (front port is closed) or
backseated (back port is closed), the backseated position
is recommended because it takes pressure off the packing
and reduces the possibility of packing leaks.
Vent the relief valve exit to a safe outdoor location in an
approved manner away from people and building

unless precautions are taken to prevent moisture
migration into the valve body or the relief vent line.
Avoid trapped ice build-up between valves and other
equipment.
Only apply thread sealing compound to external pipe

Before installation is started, a few items of a general nature should
be considered. idler pin
1. Location - always locate the pump as close as possible to the
supply of liquid to be pumped. Locate it below the liquid supply figure 3
if at all practical. Viking pumps are self priming but the better the
suction conditions the better the performance. 5. Pressure Protection - Viking pumps are positive displacement.
2. Accessibility - the pump should be located where it is accessible This means that when the pump is rotated, liquid will be delivered
for inspection, maintenance, and repair. For large pumps, allow to the discharge side of the pump. If there is no place for this

ALIGNMENT

CHECK ALIGNMENT AFTER MOUNTING
For detailed coupling alignment procedures see Viking service
pump head bulletin ESB-61.
The pump, drive, and motor were properly aligned at the time they
were assembled. During shipping and mounting the alignment is
often disturbed. BE SURE TO RECHECK ALIGNMENT AFTER
THE PUMP UNIT IS INSTALLED!
1. Check pump ports to be sure they are square and in the proper
position; shim or move the pump as required. Do not force
suction
piping to line up with the ports.
2. If the pump is driven by a flexible coupling(s) either direct
connected to the motor or through a reducer, remove any
coupling guards or covers and check alignment of the coupling
halves. A straightedge (a piece of key stock works nicely) across
the coupling must rest evenly on both rims at the top, bottom,

5. For high temperature applications (those above 300°F) allow the Before starting layout and installation of your piping system, consider
pump to reach operating temperature, then recheck alignment. the following points:
1. Never use piping smaller than the pump port connections.
2. Be sure the inside of the pipe is clean before hooking it up.
3. Foot valve - When pumping a light liquid with a suction lift, a
foot valve at the end of the suction piping or a check valve in
the first horizontal run will hold the liquid in the line and make it
easier for the pump to prime. Be sure the foot or check valve is
big enough so that it doesn’t cause excessive line loss.
4. When approaching an obstacle in the suction or discharge line,
go around the obstacle instead of over it. Going over it creates
an air pocket. See Figure 10.5. Where practical, slope the
piping so no air or liquid pockets will be formed. Air pockets in
the suction line make it hard for the pump to prime.
6. For a suction line with a long horizontal run keep the horizontal
portion below the liquid level if possible. This keeps the pipe
full so the pump does not have to remove so much air when
figure 7
starting; this is most helpful when there is no foot valve. See
internal pressure relief valve Figure 11.
7. When piping a hot or cold system (liquid being handled is at a
temperature different from the air surrounding the pump), be
sure allowance is made for expansion and contraction of the
piping. Loops, expansion joints, or unsecured (this does not
mean unsupported) runs should be used so the pump casing is
not distorted or put into a bind.

permitting air to be drawn in may cause a noisy pump, or a
reduction in capacity.
13. ALIGNMENT - Check the alignment of the drive after the piping
is hooked up. As a final check on pump alignment remove the
head of the pump and with a feeler gauge determine if there
is clearance all the way around between the rotor and casing.

b). When handling a liquid such as asphalt or molasses that

The rise in temperature causes the liquid to expand; if there is
no provision for pressure relief in the closed off section, there is
a chance that the pump or piping will rupture.

Example:

Ambient temperature = 50°C


Motor winding resistence at 50°C = 1.02 M W
Correction to 40°C
R 40°C = R 50°C x K 50°C
R 40º C = 1.02 x 1.3
R 40º C = 1.326 M W

The minimum resistence Rm will be:


Rm = Vn + 1
Rm = 0.440 + 1
Rm = 1.440 M W

On new motors, lower values are often attained due to solvents


present in the insulating varnishes that later evaporate during
normal operation. This does not necessarily mean that the
motor is not operational, since insulating resistance will
increase after a period of service.
On motor which have been in service for a period of time much
larger values are often attained. A comparison of the values
recorded in previous tests on the same motor under similar
load, temperature and humidity conditions, serves as a better
indication of insulation condition than that of the value derived
from a single test. Any substantial or sudden reduction is
suspect and the cause determined and corrective action taken.
Insulation resistance is usually measured with a MEGGER.
In the event that insulation resistance be inferior to the values
derived from the above formula, motors should be subjected to
a drying process. Winding Temperature (ºC)

This operation should be carried out with maximum care, and Figure 2.1.
by only qualified personnel. The rate of temperature rise should
not exceed 5°C per hour and the temperature of the winding
should not exceed 105°C. An overly high final temperature as
well as a fast temperature increase rate can both generate
vapour harmful to the insulation.
Temperature should be accurately controlled during the drying
process and the insulation resistance measured at regular
intervals.
During the early stages of the drying process, insulation
resistance will decrease as a result of the temperature
increase, but the resistance will increase again when the
insulation becomes dryer.
The drying process should be extended until sucessive
measurements of insulation resistance indicate that a constant
value above the minimum acceptable value has been attained.
It is extremely important that the interior of the motor be well
ventilated during the drying operation to ensure that the
dampness is really removed.
Heat for drying can be obtained from outside sources (an
oven), energization of the space heater (optional), or
introducing a current through the actual winding of the moto be

3.1 Mechanical Aspects
The belt should not be overly stretched, see Figure 3.11.
3.1.1 Foundation After the alignment, the rails are fixed.
The motor base must be levelled and as far as possible free of
vibrations. A concrete foundation is recommended for motors
over 100 HP. The choice of base will depend upon the nature of
the soil at the place of erection or of the floor capacity in the
case of buildings.
When dimensioning the motor base, keep in mind that the
motor may occasionally be run at a torque above that of the
rated full load torque.
Based upon Figure 3.1, foundation stresses can be calculated
by using the following formula:

F1 = 0.2247 (0.009 x g x G - 213 Tmax )

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
FOR NEMA LOW VOLTAGE ELECTRIC MOTORS

b) Foundation Studs
Very often, particularly when drive is by flexible coupling the
motor is anchored directly to the base with foundation studs.
It is recommended that shim plates of approximately 0.8
inches be used between the foundation studs and the feet of the
motor for replacement purposes. These shim plates are useful
when exchanging one motor for another of larger shaft height
due to variations allowed by standard tolerances.
Foundation studs should neither be painted nor rusted as both
interfere with to the adherence of the concrete, and bring about
loosening.
After accurate alignment and levelling of the motor, the
foundation studs are cemented and their screws tightened to
secure the motor.

Figure 3.4 - Three-phase motor mounted on a metallic base

3.1.3 Alignment
The electric motor should be accurately aligned with the driven
machine, particularly in cases of direct coupling. An incorrect
alignment can cause bearing failure vibrations and even shaft
rupture.
The best way to ensure correct alignment is to use dial gauges
placed on each coupling half, one reading radially and the other
exially - Figure 3.5.

Figure 3.3 - Motor mounted on a concrete base with


foundations studs

c) Metallic Base
Motor-generator sets are assembled and tested at the factory
prior to delivery. However, before putting into service at site,
coupling alignment should be carefully checked as the metallic
base could have suffered dislocation during transit due to
internal stresses of the material.
The metallic base is susceptible to distortion if secured to a
foundation that is not truly flat.
Machines should not be removed from their common metallic Figure 3.5 - Alignment with dial gauges

c) Belt and Pulley Coupling


Belt coupling is most commonly used when a speed ratio is
required.
Assembly of Pulleys: To assemble pulleys on shaft ends with a
keyway and threaded end holes the pulley should be inserted
halfway up the keyway merely by manual pressure.
On shafts without threaded end holes the heating of the pulley

3.1.4 Coupling

a) Direct Coupling
Direct coupling is always preferable due to its lower cost,
space economy, no belt slippage and lower accident risk. Figure 3.8a - Pulley extractor
In the case of speed ratio drives, it is also common to use a
direct coupling with a reducer (gear box). Hammers should be avoided during the fitting of pulleys and
bearings. The fitting of bearings with the aid of hammers
CAUTION: Carefully align the shaft ends using, whenever leaves blemishes on the bearing races. These initially small
feasible, a flexible coupling. flaws increase with usage and can develop to a stage that
completely impairs the bearing.
The correct positioning of a pulley is shown in Figure 3.9.

Figure 3.7 - A type of direct coupling

b) Gear Coupling
Poorly aligned gear couplings are the cause of jerking motions
which bring about the vibration of the actual drive and
vibrations within the motor.
Therefore, due care must be given to perfect shaft alignment:
exactly parallel in the case of straight gears, and at the correct
angle for bevel or helical gears. Figure 3.9 - Correct positioning of pulley on the shaft

aligned. (Figure 3.10). Pulleys that are too small should be avoided; these cause shaft
flexion because belt traction increases in proportion to a
decrease in the pulley size. Table 1 determines minimum
pulley diameters, and Tables 2 and 3 refer to the maximum
stresses acceptable on motor bearings up to frame 580.
Beyond frame size 600, an analysis should be requested from
the WEG engineering.

Figure 3.10 - Correct pulley alignment

Laterally misaligned pulleys, when running, transmit


alternating knocks to the rotor and can damage the bearing
housing. Belt slippage can be avoided by applying a resin
(rosin for example). Figure 3.11 - Belt tensions

Three-Phase Slip Ring Motor

Before running the motor verify that the starter rheostat is in the
“start” position, and that the brushes are correctly set against
the slip rings.
If the rheostat tap positions are numbered, the lowest usually
corresponds to the “start” position, and the highest to the
normal running position.
Next, close the stator circuit switch. The ammeter needle
should deflect sharply and then returning to a fixed lower value
after motor start.
When the needle is almost stationary, the rheostat should be
quickly moved to the next tapping position.
Coincident with speed increases, the rheostat should be moved
to each successive position until normal running position is
reached, stopping at each tapping stage until the current
indication shows no visible current drop.
On motors with brushes in permanent contact, the starter
rheostat remains in the “run” position while the motor is
running.
Special speed control rheostats designed for permanent
connection to resistance contacts within a given range of
settings are an exception to the above.

IMPREGNATION
Protect all frame threads by inserting corresponding bolts, and
the joint between terminal box and frame, by coating it with a
non-adhesive varnish (ISO 287 - ISOLASIL).
Protective varnish on machined parts should be removed soon
after treating with impregnating varnish. This operation should
be carried out manually without using tools.

ASSEMBLY
Inspect all parts for defects, such as cracks, joint
incrustations, damaged threads and other potential problems.
Assemble using a rubber headed mallet and a bronze bushing
after ascertaining that all parts are perfect by fitted.
Bolts should be positioned with corresponding spring washers
and evenly tightened.

TESTING
Rotate the shaft by hand while examining for any drag
problems on covers or fastening rings.
Carry out running tests as for standard motors.

overly taut belt or axial impacts and stresses.
Underestimating the distance between the drive pulley and the
driven pulley is a common occurrence.
The arc of contact of the belt on the drive pulley thus becomes
inadmissibly small and thereby belt tension is insufficient for
torque transmission.
In spite of this it is quite usual to increase belt tension in order
to attain sufficient drive.
Admittably, this is feasible with the latest belt types reinforced
by synthetic materials.
However, this practice fails to consider the load on the bearing
and the result is bearing failure within a short time.
Additionally there is the possibility of the shaft being subjected
to unacceptably high loads when the motor is fitted with a
pulley that is too wide.

5.1.5 Shaft Fractures


Although bearings traditionally constitute the weaker part, and
the shafts are designed with wide safety margins, it is not
beyond the realms of possibility that a shaft may fracture by
fatigue from bending stress brought about by excessive belt
tension.
In most cases, fractures occur right behind the drive end
