Introduction

This manual is a brief introduction of the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the SRM
compressors. Should the manual differs from the on-site instruction, the on site instruction should
prevail. It is suggested that every personnel, who is responsible for disassemble or assemble the
compressor, must acquire basic assembly knowledge of the mechanic devices and specialized
training for compressor assembly. The assembly staff should be able to assess to the latest version
of the assembly drawing to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of technical parameters.

In order to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the assembly process, all spare parts must be
inspected according to the drawing. All spare parts should be kept clean without fins, burs, and
damage. The surface of spare parts should be without chips, oxidized skin. The cavity of casing
should be without burnt-on sand and blow holes . The rotors should be cleaned properly, no burs
and rust, the lobe should be without sharp edges. If you have any other questions during the
disassembly /assembly process, please contact our technical personnel for help.

Regular working tools, such as hammer,
file, scraper and sand paper, are not included in
Appendix 2. The end user and maintenance staff
should prepare those by themselves.
Moreover, the refrigerant oil for washing
spare parts, oiler, oil reservoir, and specialized
cleaning cloth also need to be prepared. During
assembly, if screws are not tightened with
Loctite, then they must be lubricated with oil.
1-2
When the compressor stops running, its
inner chamber is under high pressure, thus
before disassembly the pressure must be
released. The common methods are:
Method 1:
1) Use refrigerant recovering machine to
recover the refrigerant in compressor,
2)Vaccumize the refrigerant tank, use the
differential pressure to push all refrigerant to go
back to the tank.
V1.0
Method 2:
1) Run the other compressor in parallel
connection to lower the inner pressure of the
one need to be disassembled.
2) Vaccumize the refrigerant tank, use the
differential pressure to push all refrigerant to go
back to the tank.
1-3 Disassembly inspection
Please strictly follow this manual for the
disassembly process. Since screw compressor is
running under high speed, any minor
mishandling will cause damage to the rotors or
compressor.
Please get familiar with all items before
start the disassembly. For the main parts, please
refer to Appendix 3 for actual dimensions. Any
spare parts out of tolerance should be replaced
with new ones.
1-4 Disassemble the connection part
1) Disassemble the coupling between
compressor and motor
1
 T-SCR-Q1011-04
2) Disassemble the flanges of inlet and
discharge pipes of compressor
3) Disassemble the oil pipes
4) Disassemble the power lines for control
load.
When disassemble the oil pipes of the
compressor, the remaining oil may outflow, thus
it is suggested to release the oil first at the oil
header section and then disassemble.
1-5
The dismantle and lifting of the compressor
1) The lifting of compressor should use the M30
lifting ring screw(86) in the middle of the
housing.
Figure1-1 The lifting of compressor
-
V1.0
2) Before fix the compressor onto the working
bench, use hex key(19mm) to loose the 6
screws(51) in the bottom which connect the
inlet housing(55) and rotor housing(50)
/discharge housing(45) and rotor housing(50)
while lifting. These screws are not able to
remove once the compressor is fixed onto the
working bench, thus the screws must be
removed before disassemble the inlet housing
and discharge housing.
Figure1-2 Remove the hexagon screws.
3) Lay down the compressor onto working
bench, and fix the four anchor bolts.
1-6
Disassemble the oil cylinder
The oil cylinder is full of oil for loading
and unloading, thus oil container must be
prepared beforehand.
2
 T-SCR-Q1011-04
1) To prevent the slide valve preload spring
giving too large ejection force to oil cylinder,
the worker should use a socket wrench(socket
27mm)to rotate Vi threaded rod clockwise
adjust the Vi to the minimum.
Figure 1-3 Manually adjust Vi
2) Use hex key(5 mm) to remove the screw(1)
on the displacement sensor(2), and then remove
the displacement sensor.
Figure 1-2 Remove the displacement sensor
V1.0
3) First use hex key(14mm)to remove 2
hexagon screws(26) on capacity oil cylinder end
cover(13), put the screw rod(M16, L>200mm)
into the position and then remove the other
screws. In order to prevent the end cover
ejecting out due to preload spring and full tank
of oil, use open ended wrench(24mm) to rotate
the nut on the screw rod to release the oil.
Figure 1-3 Remove the oil cylinder end cover to
release oil
4)After release all the oil, horizontally pull out
the capacity oil cylinder end cover, use hex
key(3mm)to loose the screw on the lock nut.
Then use socket wrench for lock nut(55mm) to
remove the lock nut(5),horizontally pull out the
capacity piston.

by the process hole in parallel, then slowly
remove the oil cylinder.

Figure 1-4 Remove the lock nut -

Figure 1 5 Remove the oil cylinder

6) Horizontally pull out the capacity slide

valve(18) and slide valve preload spring(111).

Figure 1-5 Remove the oil cylinder

5)Use socket wrench(long socket 14mm)to

remove 2 connection screws between oil
cylinder(13) and discharge housing(45),then put
screw rods(16mm) inside.Remove all other
screws(place oil container under the housing
during disassembly), use open ended
wrench(24mm) to rotate the nuts on the two
screw rods at the same time, push the oil Figure 1-6 Remove the capacity slide valve

 T-SCR-Q1011-04 V1.0

2) Before removing the screws(20) at shaft end

ring with electrical wrench(long socket 14mm)

Oil quality analysis: the lubricant oil has high thermal and chemical stability, thus it is usually not
necessary to change the oil. The regular inspection of oils acidity is to prevent compressor from damage.

4.2 Bearing The design lifetime of the bearing is 100,000

hours under fine lubrication and stable load. Too
many changes of working conditions and loads
will shorten its lifetime. The replacement of
bearing should be carried out by qualified
personnel in maintenance workshop.

4.3 Rotating direction of the rotors

If the rotors rotate in reverse direction for 3s

and more after the compressor shuts down, the
suction check valve may be damaged, it should be
replaced. Under any circumstances, the reverse
rotation can not last more than 5s, otherwise the
compressor will be damaged.
