Compressor technical features: Full product range RC2 series compressor consists of 26 models with displacement ranging from 98/118 m3/hr up to 1539/1847 m3/hr (50/60Hz) compatible for different refrigerants and applications. Multinational patents of highefficiency screw rotors The new 5:6 high efficiency screw rotor profile is patented in Taiwan, UK, US, and China.
Figure 6 Compression process 2.6 Capacity control system The RC2 series screw compressors are equipped with either 3step/4step capacity control system or continuous (step less) capacity control system. Both of the capacity control systems consist of a modulation slide valve, piston rod, cylinder, piston and piston rings.
Energized not energized not energized 25%(for start) Note: For 3step or 4step capacity control system, Hanbell equips normallyclosed (NC) solenoid valves as standard accessory. If normallyopened (NO) solenoid valves are preferred instead, please specify it to Hanbell when placing order.
It is very important for any controller to control loading and unloading in stable condition. For a smooth modulation, HANBELL installs a capillary in loading oil line and an additional orifice valve in unloading oil line to avoid too fast loading and unloading.

Technical Manual VERSION 2.0 -10-18-2018 2.10 Compressor volume ratio (Vi) The volume ratio (Vi) of the compressor can be defined as the ratio of suction volume to discharge volume in the compressor. The smaller the concavity of slide valve in the discharge end, the larger the volume ratio. The volume ratio directly affects the internal compression ratio (Pi).

Technical Manual VERSION 2.0 -10-18-2018 3. The minimum discharge superheat is recommended to be kept 10°k higher than the condensing temperature ( normally discharge superheat is around 20°K for R134a and 30°K for R22, R407C) to avoid liquid filling back to compressor and lubrication failure.
Bearings used in RC2 series compressors require a small and steady quantity of oil for lubrication. Oil injection into the compression chamber creates a film of oil for sealing in the compression housing to increase efficiency and also can dissipate part of compression heat.
Please follow the procedures mentioned above to change oil in the system. Check acidity of oil after 72 hours of operation and then change it again until acidity of oil becomes normal. 5. Please contact Hanbell local distributors/agents for selection of oil. 3.3 Oil change 1.
4. Compressor handling and installation 4.1 Compressor lifting Each HANBELL screw compressor has been carefully tested at the factory and every precautionary measures have been taken to make sure that compressors will keep in perfect condition when reach customers’ work. After the compressor arrives at your warehouse, please check if its crate is kept in good condition and check all the compressor accessories with shipping documents to see if there is any discrepancy.
If a largecaliber copper tube is not easily accessible and a steel tube is used instead in suction port, Hanbell also recommends the use of a copper tube in discharge port to best minimize abnormal vibration and noise. 3. Remove the oxidized impurities, swarf or debris caused by welding in the piping tubes. If these materials fall into the compressor, the oil filter might be clogged and result in the malfunction of lubrication system, bearings and capacity control system.

RC2 models utilize suction return gas to cool down the motor coil. To effectively detect temperature of motor coil and adequately adjust volume of liquid injection by measured temperature, Hanbell specially mounts Pt100 or Pt1000 sensor on motor coil as an optional accessory. This temperature sensor along with controller of the system monitor motor coil temperature and then control on/off of liquid injection valve accordingly to provide suitable liquid injection as shown in the diagram below.

Calculating the cooling capacity of liquid injection devices Liquid injection devices can be calculated with the HANBELL selection software or manually. For manual calculation, consider the most extreme conditions to be expected during actual operations i.e. minimum evaporating temperature, maximum suction gas super heat and condensing temperature.
Oil cooler application can be classified into 3 types: cooling by refrigerant, cooling by ambient air, cooling by cooling water. Oil cooler capacity can be calculated manually or using HANBELL selection software. When calculating manually, worst case operating conditions must be considered: minimum evaporating temperature, maximum suction gas superheat, maximum condensing temperature and the operation mode.
Page 72
Figure 65 Oil cooling by water Note: 1. Please decide appropriate oil cooler capacity by referring to HANBELL selection software. 2. The max. pressure drop allowed in external oil cooler is 1.5 kg/cm 3. When applying an oil cooler with a compressor, please add appropriate refrigeration oil in accordance with the size of oil cooler as well as the length of piping.
Based on HANBELL extensive research a special design of the economizer connection has been developed so that the connection causes no additional back flow losses during compression. As a result of this, compressor capacity is fully retained in all operating conditions.

The basic design of the system is shown in Figure 69, twin compressor parallel system connections. The accessories installed are the basic and if there are more applications or protection required, contact HANBELL or local distributor/agent for more information or further confirmation.
Besides the installation of additional oil pump, a high – low pressure differential switch is also recommended to install to this kind of system. Please contact with Hanbell for more detailed information of oil pump. Figure 72 Additional oil pump...

24 Month Warranty Suggestive Guidelines for Preventive Maintenance All HANBELL screw compressors are put through strict quality and performance testing prior to shipping from the factory. Provided that terms of payment are observed, a two year (24-month) warranty is offered from the date of installation or 27 months from date of shipment.

In the case of being unable to do the oil analysis periodically, consult Hanbell oil change schedule because the interval of oil change varies by the oil type and compressor operating condition. Check the oil acidity periodically and change the oil if the oil acidity value measures lower than pH6.
Page 81
Hanbell Maintenance Version 1.0 HANDLING POE OILS Please read as improper handling can cause compressor failure and void the compressor warranty. POE oils are more hygroscopic than mineral oils, so exposing POE oils to air will result in their absorbing moisture quicker than mineral oils. When POE oils are exposed to moisture and heat, they may react, forming acid that is harmful to the system.
