[Lockout] To lock with a key in order to keep people, except the workers involved, from
operating the product.
“Lockout” means disconnecting or keeping disconnected machines and devices by locking their energy
(power) sources. Lockout is not just simply turning off the power switches to stop the supply of power,
but includes immobilizing them with a key or similar device to keep any blocked switches from being
operated.
Lockout devices are devices such as keys, covers, and latches, to immobilize switches, valves,
opening and closing levers, etc., with a state of being locked.

[Tagout] To prevent any inappropriate work by hanging tag plates indicating “work in progress”.
“Tagout” means to clearly indicate, by hanging tag plates, that a device is in lockout and that operation
of the device is prohibited. Tag plates forbidding operation, starting, opening, etc. are warnings clearly
stating to not operate energy (power) sources, and are not for stopping blocking devices.

1.1 Observation/Prevention

1.1.1 Observance (Do's)

1.1.1.1 Do's on Operation

 Make sure that all necessary safety devices are installed and the control values for machine
protection are set correctly.
 Regularly inspect the safety devices and the controller's protective functions. Ensure that they
operate properly.
 If the safety devices and the controller's protective functions do not work properly or the
machine operates abnormally, stop the operation immediately and report the incident to your
supervisor. Do not restart the machine until the supervisor determines and provides
instructions.
 If the compressor stops for unknown reasons, immediately inform your supervisor of it. Obtain
his/her approval before restarting the compressor.
 Some refrigerants in use generate bad smell or toxic gases, or may cause deficiency of
oxygen. Make sure to ventilate the air during operation.
 The properties of refrigerant and refrigerant oil can be corrosive, decomposable, and/or toxic,
insure to obtain the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow its instructions.
 When stopping the operation of this compressor, shut off the motor (main power), heater
power, and control power. Close the suction and discharge side shut-off valves. Follow proper
compressor evacuation procedures.

1.1.1.2 Do's on Maintenance

 Before performing the work together with at least one other person, thoroughly confirm the
work details and acknowledge other worker's movement.
 Always turn OFF and lock out/tag out the motor (main power), control power, and other
devices before troubleshooting during operation, and before setup, cleaning, or maintenance
and inspection of the compressor.
 Always confirm that there is atmospheric pressure inside the compressor as well as
refrigerating, cold storage, and air conditioning package before troubleshooting during
operation, and before setup, cleaning, or maintenance and inspection of the compressor.
 Always lock out/tag out the fluid supply/stop valve and the valves at downstream or upstream
side of an opening part before troubleshooting during operation, setup, cleaning, or
maintenance and inspection of the compressor to prevent the valves from opening during
work.
 Some refrigerants in use generate bad smell or toxic gases, or may cause deficiency of
oxygen. Make sure to ventilate the air during work.
 The properties of refrigerant and refrigerant oil can be corrosiveness, decomposability, and/or
toxicity, insure to obtain the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow its instructions.

1 Safety

1.1.1.3 Do's on Lockout/Tagout after Shutting off the Power

 Set up lockout/tagout devices for the main breakers of the main motor and control power.
 The lockout/tagout after shutting off the power is a very effective way to secure workers’ safety
and can prevent injury to workers caused by a number of workers accidentally turning the
power source on.
 If there are any possibilities of danger during works (especially during cleaning, maintenance
and inspection, and troubleshooting), shut off the motor main power and control power, and
perform lockout/tagout.
 The worker himself must always lock out/tag out the compressor before working in the
compressor for troubleshooting during operation, setup, cleaning, or maintenance and
inspection of the compressor.
 In the following situations, workers may neglect to perform power source shutoff or
lockout/tagout. Clearly notify the workers of the necessity of lockout/tagout.
 It is assumed that workers do not perform lockout/tagout before starting work because it is
troublesome, and only shut off the main motor and control power.
 It is assumed that workers only shut off the main motor and control power and do not
lockout/tagout the main motor and control power, because they judge that there is no
danger.
 The worker who performed lockout/tagout should release them after checking that all
procedures have completed.

1.1.1.4 Do's about Personal Protective Gear

 Prepare and use protective gear complying with the safety standards of the regulations.
 Check the function of each protective gear before using.
 Wear designated clothes such as work outfits.
 Do not wear any neckties or jewelry as there is a possibility of being entangled by a movable
part or rotating part. Put on a helmet as your hair may get entangled.
 Do not have anything in your pocket to prevent objects from falling into the machine.

1.1.1.5 Do's about Handling of Hazardous and Toxic Substances

 Obtain Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from manufacturers of hazardous and toxic substances.
 Check the SDS and follow the handling instructions recommended by the manufacturers to
handle and store those substances.

1.1.1.6 Strict Do's about Handling Emergency Situation

 Formulate an emergency action plan complying with the regulations, and post it on a safe
place.
 Strict Do's about Waste Oil, Fluid, and Materials.
 Disposing of refrigerant and oil used for the compressor are subject to a number of regulations
for the environmental protection purposes. Follow the local, state, federal acts and regulations
and your company's rules when disposing of such waste oil, fluid and materials.

1.1.1.7 Other Do's

 Keep the floor clean around the refrigerating, cold storage, and air conditioning units, and
keep passages and walkways clear.
 Walk only on the areas set up as a work floor. Also, do not leave tools and cleaning solutions
in that area.
 If water or oil is spilled on the compressor or the floor, immediately wipe it off to prevent
workers from injury caused by slipping.

1.1.2 Don'ts
 Do not remove or relocate any safety devices, including electrical interfaces.
 Do not disable any safety devices by short-circuiting or bypassing without any permission.
 Do not leave the compressor unsafe and unattended, by removing a safety cover or some
other measures.

2.1 Features of Screw Compressor GH-series

The GH-series screw compressor is intended mainly for the applications below.
a. Fuel gas supply to combustion turbine that requires the high inlet pressure.
b. Process gas service, where the conformance to the internationally recognized standards such as
API 619 is required.
c. Refrigeration use utilizing the gas, such as CO2, that requires higher pressure than standard
refrigerants, e.g. HCFC’s or HFC’s.

For the above purposes GH-series screw compressor has some characteristics shown
below.
a. Rotor profile suitable for the high discharge pressure. ’s own profile is adopted.
b. Lobe combination of 5 (Male rotor) to 7 (Female rotor) is adopted in order to maintain the high
compressor efficiency even under the operating conditions of high pressure differential between
suction and discharge.
c. Tilting Pad Bearing is used for carrying the thrust forces in accordance with API 619, if specified.
For the refrigeration use where the tilting pad thrust bearing is not required, anti-friction bearing is
also available as a thrust bearing.

2.5 Mechanisms
2.5.1 General Introduction of Screw Compressor
The screw compressor is categorized as a positive displacement rotary compressor. It has features of
both reciprocating and centrifugal compressors.
The working gas is continuously compressed by the 3-dimensional spaces that are formed by a pair of
male and female screw rotors (with different sectional profiles) and the casing, as the spaces change
continuously.

a. Suction Process
The inlet gas passes through the suction port of the compressor and enters the closed space formed
by the both rotors and the casings. As the rotation of the rotor proceeds, the volume of the closed
space reaches its maximum and the suction process has ceased.

b. Compression Process
After the completion of suction process, trapped gas is compressed by the reduction of the closed
space volume and the gas is displaced toward the discharge port. This is the compression process.

Figure 2-7 Suction Process Figure 2-8 Compression Process

c. Discharge Process
Finally, when the compressed gas reaches
the designed volume, it is discharged through
the discharge port of the compressor.

2 Configuration and Specification of Compressor

2.5.2 About Volume Ratio (Vi)

Volume ratios (Vi) are indicated in property tables or catalogs by using port symbols E, L, M and H.
The volume ratio represented by each symbol (GH-series screw compressors) is as follows:
E=1.3, L=2.3, M=3.3, H=4.5.

(Volume of suctioned working gas just before compression)

Vi =
(Volume of working gas just before sent to discharge port)

Decide which volume ratio (E, L, M or H ) should be used according to operating conditions.
If the compressor is used with a volume ratio that does not match operating conditions, operation will
go inefficiently wasting the power.
The relationship between volume ratios and generally used compression ratios is as follows:

(Vi）κ＝ πi ＝ Pｄ/Ps κ = Cp/Cv of refrigerant gas

Vi = Design volume ratio πi = Design compression ratio

Vi is related to the specific heat ratio (κ) and therefore its value relative to the compression ratio varies
depending on the type of refrigerant gas.

(A) Properly adapted Vi to load condition

Both the required compression ratio and Vi are low. Both the required compression ratio and Vi are high.

(B) Improperly adapted Vi to load condition

Too low Vi compared with necessary compression ratio. Too high Vi compared with necessary compression
ratio

Figure 2-11 Relationship between Volume ratio (Vi) and Operation Conditions (B)

2.5.3 Bearings
The radial load is supported by the sleeve bearing, while the axial load acted on the rotors are
supported by the tilting pad thrust bearing or ball bearings. Balance piston that kills the axial force is
located on the same side of the thrust bearing.

2.5.4 Sealing Device

Balance type mechanical seal is used to maintain high reliability and high durability.
A combination of carbon and silicone carbide is used to assure the durability of the frictional parts and
sealing effect.

2.5.5 Unloader Slide Valve Indicator

Non-contact type position detector is used as an unloader indicator to avoid electric spark, thus making
the compressor be operated in safe for the flammable gas compression service.
Capacity control indication can be output to remote indicator using the electric cable.

3.1 General Precautions for Installation

 The description in Chapter 3 “Installation” assumes that the compressor is installed to a package
unit intended for standard type refrigeration, cold storage, or other gas compression system.
If the package unit you are actually using is not the one for standard type refrigeration, cold
storage, or other gas compression system, make sure to prepare a proper installation manual by
referring to the description in this chapter and paying due consideration to safety, before
installing the compressor.
If there are any questions, please contact one of our local sales offices or service centers.

 In some cases, it may be required that installation is performed by qualified personnel. Make
sure that the work is performed by qualified personnel in compliance with local laws,
ordinances and other regulations/requirements.
 Read this chapter and related documents, and fully understand their contents before
performing installation.
 Electrical works should be performed only by electrical engineers.

3.2 Installation Works

3.2.1 Unpacking
Check that there are no abnormalities such as damage on the compressor.

 If there are abnormalities or deficient parts on the compressor, please contact one of our local
sales offices or service centers immediately.
 Unnecessary packing materials should be discarded according to the laws and ordinances, or
your company's rules.

3.2.2 Storage
Perform the followings to store the compressor before installation.
 Store it indoors.
 Infuse nitrogen gas into the compressor and seal it. (Pressure: approximately 0.15 MPa)

3.2.3 Transfer

 Should the compressor being lifted up drop, there is a high risk of death or severe
injury. Provide sufficient protection such that no one can enter an area below a
compressor being lifted up.

1. For lifting the compressor within the safety limit, use lifting equipment and tools appropriate for the
mass of compressor.
2. Secure sufficient space for safe lifting.
3. Always check the wire ropes before using them. Thoroughly check the wire ropes for problems
such as kinks, knots and broken strands. Do not perform lifting work before confirming the safety
of the wire ropes. If you cannot make a correct evaluation or judgment, entrust an expert to check.

 2203K5JE-MY-GH-N_2014.12.
3 Installation

4. To lift the compressor, attach the wire ropes to the appended eye bolts by using appropriate
shackles and hooks. Use the eye bolts only for lifting the compressor.

Figure 3-1 Eye bolts for 3 points lifting the compressor (Arrows)

 The compressor eye bolts must not be used for lifting the unit. To lift the unit, use the
lifting chains provided around the base or other lifting means provided on the base.

5. Check path of compressor installation to make sure it is free of obstacles in consideration of the
compressor size.
6. Before lifting, check that the hook is located above the gravity center of the compressor.
7. Before starting to lift up the compressor, instruct all the workers to be sufficiently away from the
lifting area.
8. Just before starting to lift up, provide the coworkers with a sign (such as a call, hand signal, etc.)
of starting the lifting action. Do not start to lift up unless the sign (such as a call, hand signal, etc.)
has been fully acknowledged.
9. Slowly reel up the wire ropes until immediately before the compressor leaves the ground.
10. Then, reel up the wire ropes a little further until the compressor is slightly up away from the ground.
Check that the compressor is not tilted. If the compressor is tilted, return the compressor to the
ground and correct the tilt by adjusting the wire ropes. After that, restart the lifting operation.
11. Be sure to lift up the compressor slowly. If it is lifted rapidly, it may damage the lifting tools such as
wire ropes or a part of the compressor.
12. When the lifting work starts, observe to see if wire ropes and lifting tools are normal. Be sure that
the compressor is not tilted.
13. When moving the lifted compressor, always use guiding ropes.
14. When moving the compressor, turn away workers from the movement direction and check safety.
15. Do not lift the compressor above the safety passage unless absolutely necessary.
16. Do not lower the compressor on the safety passage. Always keep the safety passage free of
obstacles.
17. Remove any obstacles before lowering the compressor onto the ground. The compressor should
not be tilted or unstable.
18. Before lowering the compressor, announce to the workers around the working area in advance.
19. When lowering the compressor onto two or more blocks, align the tops of blocks so that the
compressor becomes stable horizontally on them.
20. Slowly lower the lifted compressor so that it is not damaged by shock.

3.2.4 Preparation for Installation

 Installation Space
Secure sufficient working space for easy operation, cleaning, maintenance, and inspection.

 Minimum interval of Male rotor shaft to Motor shaft (GH250S/L and GH320S)
The interval between the Male rotor shaft end and
a driving machine shaft end is required at least
more than 250 mm as shown in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2 Minimum Interval of Shafts

 Lighting
Provide sufficient lighting to allow easy operation, cleaning, maintenance, and inspection.

 Ventilation
If natural ventilation is insufficient, install ventilation fans according to the relevant regulations.

 Piping
Refer to the relevant figures Section 2.3.4 "Outer Dimensions" in this manual chapter 2.

3.2.5 Installation
Check that the surface of the package unit, where the compressor is to be installed, is even and
horizontal. If it is uneven and non-horizontal, tightening the bolts may lead to compressor deformation,
which may prevent normal operation.

3.2.5.1 Piping Connection

 Working Gas Piping
Observe the following when connecting the working gas piping.
 The compressor is one of the few devices installed within the refrigerating/cold storage/gas
compression unit that have moving components. These moving components are adversely
affected by foreign substances within the system (scale, dust, spatter, etc.). Therefore, when
connecting the piping, do not allow any of such foreign substances to enter inside.
 Some compressors (mainly those for export) are charged with nitrogen gas to prevent rust. Be
sure to release the pressure before starting piping work.
 Be sure not to allow moisture to enter the piping. There is a high probability that it will cause
trouble after the start of operation. Be sure to assemble piping when it is dry.
 Improper piping may cause operating problems such as oil not returning to the compressor or
liquid flow-backs.
 When connecting the piping to the compressor, use piping that is the same size as the
compressor connection port. If the pipe size of the piping is smaller than the compressor
connection port, the flow of lubricant or refrigerant will be obstructed leading to problems.
 When installing the piping for the compressor, use piping supports at appropriate positions so
that excessive force is not applied to the compressor flanges or joints.

3.2.5.2 Equipment and Devices for Protection of the Compressor

 Oil Filter
According to the requirements of the use of the package unit or the standard to apply, install an oil
filter of appropriate filtration precision in the lubrication system of the compressor.
In the case of general applications such as closed-cycle refrigeration systems, we recommend to
use an oil filter with beta ratio in the range of β20 ≥ 150 that conforms to requirements of NAS 1638
class 8 or ISO 4406 17/15/13.
When the package unit requires API 619 4th/5th edition conformity, use an oil filter with beta ratio in
the range of β10≥200.
The oil filter may be clogged just after commissioning. We recommend installing two oil filters in
parallel. This will enable replacement of either filter during operation.

 Oil Heater for Oil Separator

To preserve the temperature of the lubricant before starting the compressor operation, install an oil
heater on the oil separator. In cold districts, install a band heater to the oil supply piping if
necessary.
Make sure to install a protection function (thermostat, etc.) to the heater to prevent overheating.

 Suction Strainer
When miscible oil is used, the mesh size of suction strainer should be not less than 200 meshes.
When non-miscible oil is used, it should be not less than 100 meshes.
For details about miscible and non-miscible oils, refer to Section 4.1 "Lubricating Oil" in this manual
Chapter 4.
During commissioning, small particles and scale may come from the system. We recommend
installing a finer filter temporarily.

 Compressor Protective Devices (Safety Devices)

Install the necessary protective devices, referring to Section 1.4.3 "Compressor Protection
Devices" and Section 2.3.3 "Alarm Set Values", in this manual.

3.2.6 Airtightness Test

Perform an airtightness test before commissioning. To prevent water entry in the package unit, use
nitrogen gas or dry air for the airtightness test. Set the test pressure to the design pressure of the
package and maintain the pressure for at least 30 minutes while checking the flange connections and
fittings for any leak using leak detection fluid (soapy water, etc).

3.2.7 Lubricating Oil Charge

 For the initial charge, always use new oil not opened to air.
 When adding lubricating oil, make sure that no air or water enters the package.
 Store the lubricating oil in a sealed container placed indoors.

3.2.7.1 Initial Charge of Lubricating Oil

At initial commissioning or after periodical inspection, the compressor's moving parts such as bearings
and mechanical seals may not be sufficiently lubricated. Therefore, charge lubricating oil according to
the following procedure.

a) Thoroughly evacuate the compressor and oil separator to 40 Torr. At that time, make sure to open
the unloader valve to evacuate the cylinder.
b) Close the oil separator outlet valve in the oil line.
c) Add lubricating oil from the drain valve on the oil cooler (or on the oil filter).
When the oil level reaches to the lower limit of the oil level gauge in the oil separator, finish the oil
charge from the oil line.
d) After that, add lubricating oil to the specified level from the oil separator lubrication valve.
e) Start the oil pump and check the oil pump discharge pressure to see that the lubricating oil is
circulated. If possible, check that the oil level on the oil separator lowers.

f) Adjust the lubrication differential pressure on the oil pump.

g) After adjusting the lubrication pressure, operate the oil pump for 2 minutes. Then, after checking that
the motor main power is turned off, turn the driving shaft of the compressor.
h) If the lubricating oil is found to circulate through the oil supply line normally after the above
operations, the initial charge of package unit is finished.

 When working in the initial charging of lubricating oil, make sure that the oil cooler and oil filter
are filled with lubricating oil.
 For details about lubricating oil to be used, refer to Section 4.4.1 "Lubricating Oil" in this manual.
 Determine the specified amount of the initial charge of lubricating oil based on the configuration
of the package unit, and make sure to specify in the instruction manual of the package unit.

3.2.7.2 Additional Charge of Lubricating Oil

Determine the procedure of the additional filling of lubricating oil based on the configuration of the
package unit, and make sure to specify in the instruction manual of the package unit.

3.2.8 Charge of Working Fluid

Depending on the use working fluid and equipment configuration of your package unit, specify the work
procedure that considered safety enough, and conduct the refrigerant filling work accordingly.
Also, as in the lubricating oil filling work, the working fluid filling work must be performed carefully so
that no water or air enters the system.

3.2.9 Check after Installation

Depending on the package unit to which this product is installed, formulate the necessary confirmation
items and methods for package unit after installation and conduct them accordingly before the
commissioning. In addition, make sure to record and keep the results of your confirmation.

4 Compressor and Package Operation

4.1 Lubricating Oil

The selection and management of lubricating oil are critical factors in compressor operation.
When selecting and managing lubricating oil, take the following points into consideration

4.1.1 Precautions for Selecting the Lubricating Oil

 The type of lubricating oil must be selected in consideration of the working fluid in use, type of
evaporator, and operation conditions. Various properties of lubricating oil must be checked in
addition to viscosity, such as solubility to working fluid, separability, fluidity at low temperature
and thermal stability at high temperature. Therefore, we recommend consulting one of our sales
offices or MAYEKAWA representative for the specified brand usable to your system.
 The lubricating oil for the compressor must have appropriate viscosity to lubricate the bearing
and other mechanical components properly. The oil viscosity must be measured at the oil filler
port of the compressor. The viscosity of lubricating oil is significantly affected by the combination
of working fluid type and oil type. If the working fluid dissolves in the oil (the oil is compatible), the
actual viscosity may be substantially lower than the required viscosity for the compressor
depending on the operation conditions. If the working fluid does not dissolve in the oil (the oil is
not compatible) and the oil temperature is low, the viscosity may become excessively high. An
appropriate type of lubricating oil must be selected so that it is supplied to the compressor with
appropriate viscosity (13 to 40 mm2/s) in the operating state.
 In a refrigerator or a other gas compression system utilizing a screw compressor, the lubricating
oil supplied to the compressor is discharged along with the discharge gas and separated from
the working fluid by the oil separator. However, because the oil separator cannot separate the oil
and working fluid completely, a very small part of lubricating oil enters and stays in the condenser.
This results in oil entry to the evaporator. Because of these circumstances, the lubricating oil
must have thermal stability at high temperature, separability from working fluid gas and fluidity at
low temperature.
 Depending on the type of working fluid, some lubricating oils cannot be used. For example,
polyolester synthetic oil (POE) cannot be used for anmonia refrigerant.

4.1.2 Change of Lubricating Oil Brand

When changing the brand of lubricating oil in use, the user must pay attention to the following points.

 The change of lubricating oil brand may cause troubles in respect of operation
conditions and compressor operation. When changing the lubricating oil brand in
use, make sure to contact us because appropriate steps must be surely followed.

 Lubricating oil may contain additives for the purpose of improving lubrication characteristic and
preventing degradation. The types of additives and the additive rate differ depending on the type
and brand of lubricating oil. Theodore, we recommend avoiding the mixed use of different brands
of lubricating oil. If mixed, the additives in the lubricating oil may react with each other and create
by-products.
 If it is inevitable to change the brand of lubricating oil, recover as much oil as possible from the
compressor as well as oil separator, oil cooler, condenser, evaporator and other refrigerator
components before refilling the new lubricating oil.

4-1
 2203K5JE-MY-GH-N_2014.12.
4 Compressor and Package Operation

 When changing the brand of lubricating oil, always confirm the validity of the change from the
lubricating oil manufacturer. Particularly when changing the brand to that of a different
manufacturer, consult both manufacturers to verify that the brand change will not cause
problems.
 When changing the lubricating oil to another product of the same brand at a different viscosity
grade, confirm that the viscosity grade after change will not cause problems in compressor
operation.
 Depending on the property of lubricating oil (compatible or non-compatible), a working fluid
system must adopt different packages and working fluid flow (type of evaporator, with or without
oil return line). Therefore, any oil change from compatible one to non-compatible one is
unallowable. If you change the lubricating oil from non-compatible to compatible, select the
lubricating oil paying particular attention to the viscosity. The actual viscosity will lower because
compatible oil dissolves in the working fluid.

4.1.3 Precautions for Handling the Lubricating oil

 For lubricating oil refilling, always use clean oil that has been sealed and stored indoors. Any oil
left open to air may absorb moisture and contain dust and foreign objects.
 When adding lubricating oil, take extreme care not to allow entry of air and moisture.

4 Compressor and Package Operation

4.2 Precautions for Operation

Please pay enough attention to the mention contents of this section, especially when the package unit
is used in a refrigeration cycle.

4.2.1 Prevention of Liquid Flow-back

Liquid flow-back is a phenomenon that refrigerant liquid (mist) not evaporated in the evaporator is
drawn into the compressor.
The liquid flow-back may cause abnormal vibrations and noises from compressor, foaming of
lubricating oil in oil separator (too much oil loss), and poor lubrication of compressor.
To prevent liquid flow-back, appropriately adjust the expansion valve of evaporator or liquid cooler.
In addition, special attention must be paid to the outgoing routing of suction piping and the activation of
compressor after a long-time operation stop.

4.2.2 Purging of Non-condensable Gas

 Some types of working fluid may have bad smell, toxicity, and/or inflammability.
In a sealed space such as a machine room, oxygen shortage may occur due to high
concentration of working fluid gas. Maintain sufficient ventilation when working.
 When handling fluorocarbon refrigerants, remember that they are prohibited from
being released to air by law.

Any non-condensable gas in the system may cause the compressor discharge pressure to rise
excessively in comparison with the refrigerant saturation pressure corresponding to cooling water
temperature of condenser. This is caused by the non-condensable gas staying in the condenser which
deteriorates the heat exchange performance.
If the vacuum pumping performed upon installation or maintenance is insufficient or the suction
pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure, non-condensable gas may stay in the condenser due
to a leak from piping on the suction side.
As an increasing amount of non-condensable gas stays in the condenser, the compressor load
becomes larger and finally a motor overcurrent alarm may occur.
In such a case, purge any non-condensable gas from the condenser.
1. While the compressor is stopping, allow the cooling water to flow to the condenser and check that
there is no unignorable difference in water temperature between inlet and outlet. If any difference
is present between the inlet and outlet water temperatures, keep flowing the cooling water until
the temperature difference is eliminated.
2. Measure the pressure of the condenser and compare it with the refrigerant saturation pressure
corresponding to the cooling water temperature.
3. If the condenser pressure is higher than the working fluid saturation pressure by 0.05 MPa or
more, purge any non-condensable gas.

4 Compressor and Package Operation

4.2.3 Action for Stopping the Compressor for Long Period of Time
Before stopping the compressor for a long time, make sure to perform the following steps.

 Turn off the motor main power.

 Turn off the oil heater power and the control power.
 Close the suction stop valve and discharge stop valve.

If the operation stop period is 1 month or longer, perform the following checks once per month.

 Measure the system pressure.

 Check for working fluid leak.
 Operate the oil pump for 5 minutes. After that, rotate the compressor shaft (10 rotations or
more).

When restarting the compressor after an operation stop period of 1 year or longer, check the system for
working fluid leak and replace the lubricating oil. Also check the motor insulation resistance.
Supply power to the oil heater at least 1 hour before operation start. Before starting the operation,
confirm that the working fluid is not condensed in the package by checking the package temperature
and pressure.

5.1 Precautions for Maintenance and Inspection

 Before starting a maintenance/inspection work following working gas treatment, make sure that
the motor power, control power and power for equipment and valves are turned off and the
power switches are protected from any unauthorized access. In addition, attach a tag to each
power switch informing other workers that the switch must not be operated. (Lockout/tagout)
 Also when a manual valve is closed, apply appropriate measures so that it cannot be operated
by other workers and attach a tag stating that the device must not be operated.
 Before disassembling, inspecting or handling the compressor, you have to understand the
disassembly/assembly procedure of the compressor. This document does not provide a
complete procedure of compressor disassembly and assembly but just instructs the points in
compressor service.
 If you need to perform the complete procedure of compressor disassembly/assembly, consult
in your region.
 When replacing a part, always use the genuine part. If any unauthorized part is
used, unexpected troubles may occur.
 Do not remodeling the compressor and other parts without approval of . The
compressor may be damaged and cannot maintain functions.
 To disassemble the compressor, it must be removed from the package and placed on a work
bench. Before removing the compressor from the package, make sure to perform working gas
treatment and verify that the atmospheric pressure is recovered inside the compressor.
 Prior to the compressor removal from the package, check that the high temperature side
(discharge side) is cooled down to 40 °C or less.
 Perform the compressor disassembly on a rigid and flat work bench.
 When removing the compressor from the package and place it on the work bench, follow the
instructions in Section 3.1 "General Precautions for Installation" and Section 3.2.3 "Transfer" in
this manual Chapter 3.
 The lifting and carrying works for the compressor and package unit must be performed by
qualified personnel.
 For the compressor disassembly/assembly, use specified tools that are properly functioning.
 When handling heavy objects, exercise extreme caution and use auxiliary tools including stud
bolts (safety bolts).
 When carrying a heavy object, use lifting equipment such as crane, chain block, etc. or work
with one or more co-workers.
 When working with other personnel, make sure that all workers clearly understand the work
procedure.
 When turning on and off the power supplies, take care not to suffer electric shock.
 Any electric work requiring some expert qualifications must be performed by personnel who
have relevant qualifications.

5.2 Maintenance List

This section explains about the management, maintenance and inspection with a focus on the
compressor.

5.2.1 Daily Management

Inspect the each corresponding item indicated in Table 5-1 "Daily Inspection Item" and record the
results as daily management.
Any abnormal condition can be found by these operation data recorded in an operation journal on a
daily basis. This practice is significantly effective to prevent possible compressor failures.
Especially if the package unit is a refrigeration device, it is important to monitor the temperature and
pressure correlation related to the refrigerant evaporation and condensation. By doing so, the user can
detect any abnormal condition in the compressor or the equipment in an early stage.
If any compressor/equipment failure or operation accident occurs, the operation records will help the
user identify the causal factors correctly and take appropriate measures promptly.
Inspect the devices of package unit and load side condition in addition to Table 5-1, and record the
result as daily management. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the package unit.

5 Maintenance and Inspection

 Daily Maintenance Items

1. Oil level of lubricant
When the oil level of the oil separator reaches the lower limit, add lubricating oil.
2. Replacing or cleaning oil filter element
When the differential pressure between the oil supply pressure and the discharge pressure
increases to or above 0.15 MPa, replace or clean the oil filter element. In an early stage of
operation, the oil filter differential pressure may increase in a short time.

 With some operation conditions, any differential pressure before and after the oil
filter at 0.15 MPa or more may significantly deteriorate the thrust bearing life.
Moreover, the oil filter element may be broken, resulting in compressor damage.

3. Cleaning suction strainer

When the compressor operation hours have exceeded 500 hours, inspect the suction strainer
and remove the temporary filter for early operation stage if it is attached.
At the beginning of the operation or just after a periodical maintenance, the differential
pressure before and after suction strainer may increase in a short time. If such a phenomenon
is observed, inspect and clean the suction strainer.
4. Oil leak from mechanical shaft seal
If there is much oil leak from the mechanical shaft seal, confirm the leak rate. The table below
specifies the allowable leak rate and the upper limit for inspection.
If any damage is found in the mechanical shaft seal during inspection, replace the seal
assembly.

Table 5-2 Guideline for Leak Rate from Mechanical Shaft Seal

Allowable leak rate (mL/h) ≤ 12 ≤ 12
Inspection criteria (mL/h) ≥ 36 ≥ 36
Note: The specifications above are just guidelines.
They do not constitute any assurance about the performance.

5. Contamination of condenser and oil cooler pipes on cooling water side

The degree of clogging and contamination in the cooling pipes is largely affected by the
cooling water quality.
If the oil temperature and discharge pressure increase gradually in an early stage of
operation, inspect and clean the cooling water side of the oil cooler and condenser even
when the inspection timing has not come.

5.3 Management of Lubricating Oil

5.3.1 Management Criteria of Lubricating Oil
Lubricating oil, to which the management criteria is applied, is classified as follows:
(1) Synthetic oil: Polyalkylene glycol (PAG)
(2) Mineral oil: Naphthene series, Paraffin series
Synthetic oil: Alkyl benzene (AB), Polyalphaolefin (PAO)
(3) Synthetic oil: Polyolester (POE)

 We recommend analyzing oil by sampling at intervals of 6 months.

 If the oil does not fulfill the management criteria below, replace the oil.
*This does not apply to water contents in PAG oil. See Note 1 of the table below.

Each item and criterion are as follows. The management criteria may be changed without notice.

Table 5-6 Synthetic Oil (PAG)

Item Criteria
(a) Color phase ASTM color standard: 4.0 or less
(b) Total acid value 0.1 mg•KOH/g or less
(c) Kinetic viscosity Amount of change must be within ±10% relative to the new oil.
(d) Water content 2000 mass ppm or less Note 1
(e) Degree of contamination Degree of contamination measured by mass method (millipore value)
is 15 mg/100 mL or less.

Table 5-7 Mineral Oil, Synthetic Oil (AB, PAO)

Item Criteria
(a) Color phase ASTM color standard: 6.0 or less
(b) Total acid value 0.3 mg•KOH/g or less
(c) Kinetic viscosity Amount of change must be within ±15% relative to the new oil.
(d) Water content 100 mass ppm or less Note 1
(e) Degree of contamination Degree of contamination measured by mass method (millipore value)
is 15 mg/100 mL or less.

Table 5-8 Synthetic Oil (POE)

Item Criteria
(a) Color phase ASTM color standard: 4.0 or less
(b) Total acid value 0.2 mg•KOH/g or less
(c) Kinetic viscosity Amount of change must be within ±10% relative to the new oil.
(d) Water content 200 mass ppm or less
(e) Degree of contamination Degree of contamination measured by mass method (millipore value)
is 15 mg/100 mL or less.

Note 1: Synthetic oil (ammonia compatible oil) has high hygroscopicity and the sample may contain
water. In addition, ammonia dissolved in the oil may be detected as water during analysis,
preventing correct measurement of water content. Therefore, the control Criteria above should
be construed as guidelines.

5.3.2 Replacement Interval for Lubricating Oil

5.3.2.1 First Package Startup

When the package is started up for the first time, the lubricating oil may be contaminated or
deteriorated due to residual scales inside the piping and containers.
After 500 hours from the first startup, sample the lubricating oil and analyze it. If the results do not fulfill
the management criteria for each oil type detailed in Table 5-6 to 5-8, replace the lubricating oil.

5.3.2.2 During Normal Operation

Lubricating oil gradually degrades as it is used.
The degradation rate differs depending on the operation conditions, oil type, and any foreign
objects/water in the oil. Sample and analyze the lubricant at intervals of 6 months. If the results do not
fulfill the management criteria detailed in Table 5-6 to 5-8, replace the lubricating oil.
However, if the oil filter is clogged frequently or the oil becomes turbid in black, replace the oil after
identifying and eliminating the causal factor.

5.4 Compressor Disassembly Preparation

5.4.1 General Precautions for Disassembly Work
As a general rule, compressor disassembly work at the installation site is limited to the shaft seal
portion and capacity control (unloader) portion. Disassembly work on other components should only be
carried out after the compressor has been removed from the compressor unit frame and can be worked
on in a clean, safe environment.
Disassembly, inspection and handling of the parts should be done only with a full understanding of the
construction of the compressor and the instruction manual should be referred to frequently as the work
proceeds.

 Before starting compressor disassembly work, be sure to cut off the main power
supply and control power supply. Be careful that the power will not be turned on
during the work.
 If the power is turned on during the work, the compressor or oil pump may start
moving, which may cause the operator to be caught in or the devices to be damaged.
In addition, there is a risk of receiving an electric shock through contact with live parts.
 In order to avoid these risks, be sure to lockout / tagout the breakers after cut off the
power supply.

 Any casing or cover dropped may cause injuries or damage to the compressor. Always
attach stud bolts for safety before disassembling the casing or cover.
 The retaining ring may jump out, causing injuries. Always use retaining ring pliers of
appropriate size and wear protective goggles.

5.4.2 Tools and Working Areas for Disassembly

 For compressor disassembly/assembly work, use specified tools that are properly
functioning. Using tools that are worn or damaged or that are inappropriate for the
work, can result in injury.

Prepare tools to be required for the work referring to Section 7.2 Table7-1 in this manual Chapter 7 and
Table 5-9 “Tools for Disassembly of GH250S/L” in next page.
In case of GH320S, we have not created special tools, so refer to Section 7.2 Table 7-2 in this manual
Chapter 7.
It is also recommended to prepare general hand tools, green silicon carbide grinding stone, emery
paper(#80-#100), emery paper(over #800), parts cleaning oil, lubricating oil, a lubricator, an oil can for
oil sump, waste cloth and so on.
When removing the compressor from the installation unit flame and doing an overhaul, prepare a large
surface plate as the work bench.
To safely perform bolts removal used in the lower side of the compressor, an exclusive frame for
placing the compressor is required. Refer to the Section 5.4.6 in this Chapter.
Perform the work in a dry place with as little sand and dust as possible, with a sufficiently wide space
around there.

5 Maintenance and Inspection

5.4.3 Parts Replacement

Prepare genuine replacement parts referring to Section 5.2.3 "Replacement Parts of the
compressor in overhauling" in this Chapter.
Because O-rings and gaskets which are removed for the inspection are easy to be damaged, replace
all with new ones.
When purchasing any part, inform its (a) model, (b) serial number, (c) part name, (d) code No. and (e)
necessary number to one of our sales offices or service centers. Especially when the (b) serial number
of the compressor is not identified, it will be difficult to decide the required parts because we can not
specify the design and manufacturing specifications.

5.4.4 Working Gas Treatment / Recovery

After stopping operation of the compressor package unit, internal pressure is still high.
Before disassembling the compressor, it is necessary to lower the internal pressure to atmospheric
pressure, using following methods for example.

 If there is another compressor package unit connected by bypass piping (or which can be
temporarily installed), extract the working gas from one unit by operating the other compressor.
 Operate the refrigerating unit, close the fluid supply master valve, and collect the liquefied gas to
the receiver.
 By using a small portable compressor which is a exclusive use for working gas recovery, collect
the liquefied gas to the receiver.

During the working gas treatment work, open the capacity control solenoid valve to lower the
pressure in the unloader cylinder..

For either of the methods above, prepare a device flow sheet for the work, check the necessary valve
operation on the flow sheet and on the device, and specify valve operation and device/tube connection
on the flow sheet.
Prepare one flow sheet for the foreman and one for displaying in the work area.
Also, make a working gas recovery procedure showing the conditions of the workplace and make sure
all workers have read and understand it before starting the work.

 Make sure that all risk assessment checks, including checking the work contents and
procedure, are implemented before starting work. Neglecting these checks will lead to
an increase in industrial accidents to a level that cannot be ignored.
 Perform sufficient ventilation during the work.

5 Maintenance and Inspection

5.4.5 Removal of Connecting Parts of the Unit

When working gas treatment finish, remove the connecting parts of the unit.
a) Be sure cut off the main motor power and control power.
b) Close the suction stop valve, discharge stop valve, and liquid supply stop valve.
c) Be sure lockout/tagout the breakers and valves.

 If working gas or a mixture of working fluid and oil remains in the compressor, working gas
may blow off when the closed circuit is opened.
This may result in injury such as frostbite or loss of vision. Be sure to confirm that there is
no residual pressure before opening any pipe connections.

d) Disconnect the following parts.

1. Coupling that is connecting the compressor and main motor
2. Compressor suction piping and discharge piping
If the suction strainer is connected directly with the compressor, remove the strainer together.
3. Lubrication oil pipes with connection flanges
4. Two oil drain flanges of the suction cover bottom
5. Electric wiring of magnetrostrictive sensor probe for unloader indicator
6. Bolts for installing compressor (leg bolts)

■ Since remaining oil may leak out when disconnecting the lubrication oil pipes with flanges from
the compressor, slightly warm the piping and then disconnect it while checking the state of oil
spillage. Prepare a receiving container and waste cloth for oil that will spill.
Especially oil drain flange portion of suction cover bottom is full of oil. When removing drain
flanges, prepare a container large enough to receive the oil.
■ When disconnecting electrical wiring of magnetrostrctive displacement sensor probe, disconnect
at the terminal box about 5 m away. Take care the terminal part of the disconnected wiring with
Electric Works tape, and rolls up on the side of the compressor and fixes beforehand in the
sensor.

5.4.6 Removing and Lifting the Compressor

 Make sure that the lifting equipment and wires have sufficient load capacity for the
compressor. Otherwise, the compressor may fall, resulting in death or injuries and
damage to the compressor. Before lifting compressor, always check that the lifting
equipment and wires have sufficient loading capacity. Do not allow anyone to be
under the lifted compressor.

 Do not allow anyone other than qualified personnel to lift and carry the compressor.
Entrusting the work to unqualified personnel may result in fall accident.
 Be sure not to assemble/disassemble the compressor while it is being lifted. There is
a risk that the compressor's main body or parts may drop on human body.

■ In case of the suction piping is located immediately

above the compressor, hold the piping or remove
it in part, so that the compressor lifting work is not
hindered.
■ For the compressor locations where lifting tools
should be attached, see Figure 3-1in this manual.
■ Before starting compressor disassembly work, put
the compressor on a exclusive frame as shown in
Figure 5-1, and remove approximately 6 nuts for
stud bolts, which are needed, from the lower side
of the flange.
These nuts cannot be removed after the compressor
is brought down on the work bench.

5.5 Disassembly and Inspection

■ About the part number notation of explanation in the text
The number denoted by [ ] after part name in this Chapter means the item No. of sectional views of
the GH-series compressors. Refer to Section 2.4.2 in this manual Chapter 2.

■ About the stud bolt for safety

In disassembly work especially when removing covers stud bolts are used for safety, in case of
GH320S, you can use securing bolts of covers as safety stud bolts because securing bolts of
covers of GH320S are all stud bolts.
■ Caution on heavy parts
Sufficient care must be taken to handle the compressor parts, because the parts of GH-series
compressors are heavy.
Following Table 5-10 is a list of parts that require special attention about the mass.
When handling these parts, in order to prevent personal injury, use a crane, a chain block, etc.

f) Remove the C type retaining ring [33-F5] using a retaining ring plier for external. The retaining ring
may jump out, causing injuries. Wear protective goggles.

g) Pull out the balance piston [33-F2] by hand. An O-ring [35-F] is in the balance piston as shown in
upper right photo.

5.5.3.2 GH320S
Shape/structure of the balance piston sleeve and balance piston cover is different, but the
disassembling method is the same as roughly GH250S/L.
In addition, in case of GH320S, securing bolts for covers and casings are stud bolts.
Since sizes of bolts and other parts of GH320S are different from those of GH250S/L, work with the
correct size tool for each, referring to Section 5.2.3 "Replacement Parts of the compressor in
overhauling".
After removing the balance piston cover [22-F], remove the C type retaining ring [37-3] holding the
balance piston sleeve assembly [33-F1 and 33-F2] by using a retaining ring plier for internal.

 Since this retaining ring [37-3] has not only large diameter but also large spring force,
take extreme care for your removing work using correct size plier and wearing
protective goggles.

f) After separate the unloader cover from the suction
cover, remove eyebolts and pull out, the unloader
cover from stud bolts with holding it steady by both
hands (GH250S/L).

 Mass of the unloader cover of GH250S/L is

approx. 20 kg, and of GH320S is approx. 45
kg. Because large mass of the unloader
cover, there is risks of injury, take extreme
care to this work.

g) In case of GH320S, because there are two screw holes drilling upper side of unloader cover, never
hold with it only by hands. Remove certainly using the clamps such as a crane, chain block, and so
on.

In case of GH320S, because there is possibility that a lot of oil spills when removing the unloader
cover, do beforehand the preparation to receive with the oil pan.

5.6 Reassembly

 When turning on/off electric tools, take care to avoid electric shocks.
 When handling heavy objects take a sufficient care and use an auxiliary tool such as
a crane, a chain block, and so on. There is a risk that the compressor's main body or
parts may drop on human body.
 When using a crane, allow only qualified personnel to operate it. Entrusting the work
to unqualified personnel may result in fall accident.
 Be sure to use only genuine parts for replacement. If parts other than
genuine parts are used, there is a risk that the compressor and devices can be
damaged or ruptured.

 When using electric tools, check in advance that there is no problem with insulation
resistance. Otherwise, use double-insulated tools.

 When reassembling, ensure that the replacing O-rings are of the correct standard
(size, material, use for fixed portion or sliding portion, etc.). Incorrect replacement
can lead to defects such as oil leakage.

Commence the reassembly work immediately after completion of inspection and repair.
Recheck the purchased replacement parts before assembly.
As a general rule, all the O-rings that have been removed while the compressor is disassembled should
be replaced.
Most steps of the reassembly procedure are reverse to those of the disassembly procedure.
First, clean the work bench and tools to be used.
Clean the assembly parts with wash oil (kerosene, etc.) immediately before assembly. Dry these parts
by blowing compressed air, and then apply sufficient lubricating oil over their surface. Prepare sufficient
amount of clean lubricating oil for use during reassembly.
Read and fully understand the instructions before performing assembly work.
For tightening torque of various bolts and nuts of the GHS-Series compressor refer to Section
7.3"Tightening Torque for Bolts and Nuts" in this manual Chapter 7.

5.6.7 Thrust Bearing Part

5.6.7.1 Confirmation of End Play

Before starting to assemble this part, measure the end play of the TPTB (tilting pad thrust bearing).
End play means the amount of axial or end to end movement in the bearings.
In the lower left photo, TPTB is placed on a surface plate, and the end face of the thrust collar appears
on the top. In the lower right photo, TPTB is placed on a cylinder-shaped wooden frame, and the end
face of the thrust collar falls down.
Confirm the end play of the TPTB by measuring the amount of thrust collar movement. If the measured
value is not in the specified range shown in Table 5-15 below, then the TPTB cannot be used.

Table 5-15 Specified range

of End Play
Model End Play (mm)
GH250S/L 0.20 to 0.25
GH320S 0.26 to 0.33

Note: These criteria apply to

M rotor side and F
rotor side both.

5.6.7.2 Assembly
a) Install the thrust bearing alignment spacers [42-M, 42-F] and the thrust bearing outer race spacers
[41-M, 41-F].
b) Install the TPTB assemblies [38-M, 38-F].
As with disassembly stage, you can install the TPTB (M) and (F)
of GH250S/L by hand, but you must use a crane in case of
installing the TPTB (M) of GH320S.
c) In case of GH250S/L, tighten the first lock nut [Male rotor side:
39-M1] [Female rotor side: 39-F] by using specified torque or
torque angle (Refer to Section 7.1 in this manual Chapter 7).
During tightening up the lock nut for the male rotor side, protect
the floating seal (B) [33-3] part and the O-ring [35-M] part of the
Male rotor shaft.
In case of GH320S, before tighten the lock nut, attach the
rotation stop key [346] and thrust washer [250-M, 250-F].
Rotation stop key [346] should be attached to fit the key groove of the rotor [25, 26] and the cut-out
portion of the thrust collar. After that, install the thrust washers.
d) Attach the thrust bearing gland [43-M, 43-F] with hexagon head screws [45-M, 45-F].
In the end clearance adjustment work after this, to avoid for the uneven tightening of thrust bearing
gland, do not insert the O-ring [GH250S/L: 44-M, 44-F] [GH320S: 150-M, 150-F] and conical
spring washers [46-M, 46-F] at this time.

5.6.7.3 End Clearance Adjustment

a) In case of end clearance adjustment for Male rotor side, turn the drive shaft counterclockwise and
push the Male rotor from suction cover side, so as to make the end face of the Male rotor in
contact with the discharge end plane of the bearing head. See lower left photo.
b) In case of end clearance adjustment for Female rotor side, turn the drive shaft clockwise and push
the Female rotor in the same way as Male rotor side.

c) Place the dial gauge steadily using magnet stand in a position near the end face of the rotor shaft.
Set the measuring probe of the dial gauge on the end face of the rotor shaft and set the indicator to
the zero position. See upper right photo.
d) Tighten the hexagon head screws [45-M, 45-F] evenly and gradually to the specified torque value
designated on Table 5-16 below.
When tightening hexagon head screws, the rotor is moved to the suction side and the end
clearance is formed between the rotor end surface and the discharge end plane.
Tightening each screw to the specified torque at once will lead to uneven tightening. Tighten each
screw in several steps.

5 Maintenance and Inspection

f) Adjust the end clearance according to the following procedures when the end clearance is out of
the specified range.

(1) When the end clearance is smaller than the specified value:
As the end clearance is insufficient, insert shim material (thrust adjustment liner) of required
thickness (difference in thickness from the specified value) between the thrust bearing alignment
spacer [42] and the TPTB.

Note: The thrust adjustment liner is not shown in the sectional view, but available from us.
Place an order together with a model name.

Instead of using shim, there is also the following method.

Using a highly accurate surface grinding machine or asking professional service vendors to grind,
grind the surface of thrust bearing outer race spacer [41-M, 41-F] by the difference from the
specified value.
After grinding the flat surface, measure the whole circumference of the outer race spacer by
using a micrometer, and check that the thickness is even.

(2) When end clearance is larger than the specified value:

As the end clearance is excessive, remove shim material (thrust adjustment liner) of a thickness
equal to the difference between the measured value and the specified value if the shim material
is used between thrust bearing alignment spacer and TPTB.
Or if the shim material is not used between thrust bearing alignment spacer and TPTB, or even if
used but insufficient thickness, grind the surface of thrust bearing alignment spacer [42-M, 42-F]
by the difference between the measured value and the specified value or ask professional
service vendors to do so.
After grinding the surface, measure the whole circumference of the spacer by using a
micrometer, and check that the thickness is even.

(3) Measurement of Male rotor shaft runout

When the end clearance of Male rotor side and Female rotor side
both has been adjusted to within the specified range, rotate the
male rotor manually to confirm smooth rotation.
Place a dial gauge on the mechanical seal attachment portion of
the Male rotor shaft and measure runout by turning the rotor shaft.
The tolerance for runout is 0.03 mm or less for all models.

Runout error may be caused by non-uniformity of the thrust bearing alignment spacer or the
thrust bearing outer race spacer or the lock nuts.
When the runout is larger than 0.03 mm, remove TPTB and check burs on contact surfaces and
non-uniformity of the thrust bearing alignment spacer or the thrust bearing outer race spacer or
the lock nuts. Clean and correct them and reassemble the thrust bearing part. When assembling
the thrust bearing, confirm that the proper end clearance is obtained. Check the runout of shaft
rotation again and confirm that the proper runout is obtained.

5.6.7.4 After End Clearance Adjustment

a) After completing end clearance and runout, tighten the second lock nut [Male rotor side: 39-M2]
[Female rotor side: 39-F] securely by using specified torque or torque angle.
b) Remove the hexagon head screws [45-M, 45-F] and the thrust bearing gland [43-M, 43-F], to
attach the O-ring [GH250S/L: 44-M, 44-F] [GH320S: 150-M, 150-F] to the thrust bearing gland.
c) Install the thrust bearing gland and tighten the hexagon head screws without conical spring
washers by specified torque again.
d) Then, remove one of the hexagon head screws and insert the conical spring washer [46-M, 46-F],
and tighten with the specified torque again. Take the same method to remaining three screws.

7.4 Tightening Angle Range of Lock Nuts for Rotors

When tightening a lock nut, if it is difficult to use a torque wrench, manage the tightening torque of the
lock nut controlling the tightening angle range as explained below.

a) After tightening the lock nut by hand, further tighten the lock nut by using a lock nut wrench until the
rotor starts to turn. Take care not to over-tighten.
b) Put a mark on the lock nut at the right side edge of the rotor groove where the stopper tongue of the
lock washer fits in, as shown in Figure 7-8.
c) From this marking position, tighten the lock nut in such a way that rotation can be stopped within the
tightening angle range shown in Table 7-5. When measuring the angle, use an angle gauge which is
set to the diameter of rotor shaft.
Table 7-5 Tightening Angles Specified
for Lock Nuts of Rotor
Model Angle range
First time GH250S/L 25° to 35°
tightening GH320S 25° to 35°
Rotor groove (slot)
where stopper tongue of Marking
Second time GH250S/L 15° to 25°
the lock washer fits tightening GH320S 15° to 25°
* When tightening lock nut, tightening start position
differs between the first time tightening and the
tightening for the second time or after. Therefore,
angle ranges are specified also for the second
time tightening.
