It is not permissible to mix additives with the oil and
refrigerant.
6.7 Avoiding slugging
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).

asreplacementofliquidtraps,solenoidvalveintheliquidline,etc.
There should be no movement of coolant whatsoever while the compressor is at a standstill.
ATTENTION Slugging can damage the compressor and cause refrigerant to
leak.
6.6 Start-up
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.
Check the oil level by: The oil must be visible in the sightglass.
WARNING Ensure that both shut-off valves are open before starting the
compressor!
