Maintain correct crankcase oil level during compressor

Crankcase oil level

A low or high oil level may lead to oil aeration, pump cavitation, and potential
bearing damage.
Run the pre lube pump one minute to ensure adequate pre-

Cylinder lubricator System Priming

At the initial compressor commissioning, ensure that the cylinder lubricator pump
is adjusted to maximum rate.
1. Prime the lubrication system by loosening the tubing fitting at each divider
block inlet and outlet, balance valve (if used) inlet, and termination check valve
inlet.
2. Use a manual pump or manually stroke the cylinder lubrication pump, forcing
oil through the system.
3. Visually observe oil flow from the tube fittings.
4. When non-foaming oil flows from the tube fitting, re-tighten each tubing
fitting in flow sequence.

Compressor Reapplication or Relocation Checklist

Use the following checklist and consult GE or the packager if any of these changes
occur:
• Gas properties change
• Change a cylinder or packing type
• Compressor moves to a different location
• Gas pressure, temperature or flow requirements
• Driver type, speed or torque
In addition, GE recommends performing a torsional vibrational analysis.
