ATTENTION!Sluggingcandamagethecompressorandcausecoolanttoleak.
To prevent slugging:
The complete refrigeration system must be properly designed.
All components must be compatibly rated with each other with regard to output
(particularlytheevaporatorandexpansionvalves).
Suction gas superheat at the compressor input should be min. 7 - 10 K. (check the setting
oftheexpansionvalve).
The systemmustreachastateofequilibrium.

There should be no movement of refrigerant in the compressor while the system is at a
standstill.
6.6 Start-up
WARNING! Ensure that both shut-off valves are open before starting
the compressor!
Check that the safety and protection devices (pressure switch, motor protection, electrical
contactprotectionmeasures,etc.)areallfunctioningproperly.
Switch on the compressor and allow to run for a minimum of 10 min.
Checktheoillevelby: The oil must be visible in the sightglass.
