Question: Is it possible to connect several FP-MC-23EM controllers to one pressure sensor?

Answer: Yes, such a connection is possible using an external power supply. The connection diagram looks like this. It is possible to connect up to 3 controllers.

Please note that the readings of the sensor installed on the common pipeline may differ from the actual boiling pressure in a specific evaporator. In some cases, the difference may be described by a nonlinear function and additional adjustment of the read signal level may be required.

Question:
Describe the procedure for selecting cyclone oil separators for screw compressors with and without an economizer. What performance should be taken as a basis for selecting a theoretical compressor or a full one with an economizer.
Answer:
In order to select oil separators according to the theoretical displacement for screw compressors using an economizer, it is necessary to increase the basic displacement in proportion to the increase in cooling capacity.
For example:
compressor HSN-7471
operating mode minus 30/plus 45
refrigerant 502A
- without economizer
theoretical volume capacity 250 cbm per hour at 50 Hz
when using the circuit without economizer, we select OM according to the nomogram, FP-OS-40 comes out, while the compressor cooling capacity without economizer is a little more than 50 kW
- with an economizer, the compressor cooling capacity will be more than 80 kW, which exceeds the figure of 50 kW by 1.6 times
therefore, for the selection of oil separators, we use a multiplying factor of 1.6 for the theoretical volumetric productivity, i.e. 250 x 1.6 = 400 cubic meters per hour.
according to the nomogram choose FP-OS-80

This approach only works for systems with overheating. When using systems with an economizer, when the compressor capacity changes, the economizer capacity must also be adjusted to operate with a sufficient discharge temperature (oil separation is difficult at low discharge temperatures).

Question: The setting pressure of FP-SV-038 is 3.0 MPa, the maximum working pressure of FP-LR vessels is 2.8 MPa. What excess pressure is allowed in a pressure vessel?
Answer:
In accordance with TR TS 032/2013:
Settings for the start of opening and the operating range of the safety device.
54. The number of safety valves, their dimensions and throughput are determined in such a way that excess pressure is not created in the equipment that exceeds the maximum allowable working pressure:
a) more than 0.05 MPa - for vessels in which the overpressure is less than 0.3 MPa;
b) by 15 percent - for vessels in which the excess pressure is from 0.3 to 6 MPa inclusive;
c) by 10 percent - for vessels in which the excess pressure is more than 6 MPa.
GOST 12.2.085-2002:
4.2 The number of valves, their dimensions and capacity must be chosen so that the pressure in the vessel cannot exceed the design pressure by more than 0.05 MPa (0.5 kg/cmg) for vessels with pressure up to 0.3 MPa (3 kgf). /cm-'), by 15% - for vessels with pressure over 0.3 to 6.0 MPa (from 3 to 60 kgf/cm2) and by 10% - for vessels with pressure over 6.0 MPa (60 kgf/cm2) .
Proceeding from this, a PC for a vessel with a maximum working pressure of 2.8 MPa should operate in the range from 2.8 MPa to 3.2 MPa; from 2.8 MPa to 3.2 MPa. For vessels with a maximum working pressure of 4.5 MPa, the valve must operate in the range from 4.5 MPa to 5.2 MPa.

Question:
Hello, can you please tell me if there are any restrictions on the quantity
compressors in the unit when selecting a common oil separator type FP-OS?
The customer is worried that these oil separators are used for units with 3
compressors and more.

Answer:
When selecting a common gravity type oil separator for a multi-compressor station, there are always concerns about the efficiency of the separator at partial load. This is due to the fact that in these devices the physical principle of oil separation is based on a sharp decrease in the flow rate of the freon-oil mixture to the speed of the oil droplets soaring, followed by precipitation.
   Therefore, in order to be 100% sure of the efficiency of the oil separator, it is necessary to understand the conditions under which this unit will be operated, for example, what is the average daily load (one, two, three or more compressors are constantly in operation), the temperature mode of operation (for medium temperature conditions, operation at partial loads is less critical than for low-temperature ones), or to produce serial products, the design of which has passed multiple tests and has previously proven its performance.
   Based on our many years of practice, cases of critical failures of multi-compressor installations due to the low efficiency of the gravity-type oil separator when operating at partial loads were extremely rare. And in order to avoid fears in principle, we have developed and produced since 2019 combined oil separators-oil collectors of the OSR series, which were specially developed by our engineers for operation as part of multi-compressor stations, including those with partial load, and have shown their highest efficiency over the entire production period. Since 2019, these devices have been installed at almost all of their facilities by leading retailers of the Russian Federation, they are produced and shipped annually up to 10,000 units of various models of the OSR series. There are no complaints about efficiency at partial load at all, because these devices are essentially three-stage separators, since they contain the principles of cyclone, coalescent and, of course, gravity type of oil separation. Therefore, m We recommend you to use this series of combined oil separators for use in multi-compressor installations.
Good luck!

Hello,
 
Could you tell me: there is a receiver FP-LR-120 l. It is necessary to install a safety comb in it (2 safety valves FP-SV-038, combined through a three-way valve FP-TV-114-038). During the laying of highways, they made it difficult to access the PC port. Resoldering of the pipeline, alas, is undesirable. Question: Is it possible to insert a safety comb into the upper sight glass of the receiver, sacrificing some of its functionality?
P.S. Turning the receiver on its axis by 90 degrees will cause other lines to "go".
 
I would be grateful for an answer. Thanks
 
ANSWER:
Hello!
According to the requirements, the connection port of the pressure relief device of direct action, spring type, in our case - the safety valve type FP-SV - must be located in the cavity of the vessel, where the refrigerant will be in the gaseous phase! Therefore, on our vessels, the safety valve port is located at the top.
The upper viewing eye is a device for controlling the separation of upper-level media, therefore, under certain conditions, the refrigerant may well be in the liquid phase at this level, if the safety valve is triggered at this moment, there may be negative consequences, such as:
- water hammer;
- valve freezing.
This can lead both to the destruction of the valve itself, and to the destruction of other elements of the system.
Conclusion: it is impossible to install a pre-valve instead of a viewing eye!
Good luck!

Hello, in a unit for 5 compressors with a cooling capacity of 544 kW, it was decided to install conventional oil separators FP-OS-25.0-218 - 5 pcs for each compressor and parallelize two oil receivers FP-OR-25.0, but a question arose regarding diameters pipelines. We have a 3/8 ”tube coming out of the oil separators and entering the oil manifold, we are thinking of making it 3/4” and entering the receiver from the manifold 1/2”, but there are fears of making such diameters of the manifold and oil receiver inlets.
Electronic oil level regulator FP-ERL-4 (set) – 5 pcs.
Oil filter FP-OF-038 – 5 pcs.
Design parameters of the installation:
Boiling point - -10;
Condensation temperature - +45;
Overheating - +10;
Coolant - R507A.

Answer:
Hello!
We offer the following oil line configuration:
1. oil line "oil separator-oil collector":
oil separator tube 10mm - check valve 10mm - tube 12mm (as manifold) - rotalock FP-RV-012 12mm oil sump.
- the configuration of the tubes at the inlet to the two oil collectors is Y-shaped.
2. oil line "oil collector-compressor":
oil sump - rotalock FP-RV-012 16 mm - tube 16 mm - manifold (inlet 16 mm - 5 outlets 10 mm, body diameter 28 mm) - tube 10 mm - oil filter FP-OF-038 - tube 6 mm - level controller FP-ERL-4.
- the configuration of the tubes at the outlet of the two oil collectors is F-shaped;
- arrange the manifold in such a way that the distances from the manifold outlets to the oil level regulators are the same for all 5 compressors and are as short as possible.
PS do not forget to install differential check valves on the oil collectors, the difference is preferably from 3 bar, for example FP-DV-038-35
at the inlet to each oil level regulator you can install a shut-off element, for example FP-RV-014SAE

Hello! I design a central on three Bitzer HSN7461-70 compressors (mode: -33C / 45C, with economizer, freon -R507A). According to the oil separator selection graphs in the Frigopoint catalog, two oil separators are suitable: FP-OS-45-258, or FP-OS-40-218. Which oil separator is better to take for this task?
Answer:
Hello, for screw compressors, incl. Bitzer HSN7461-70 is recommended to use cyclone oil separators FP-OS-40-218, FP-OS-80-318 and FP-OS-200-418.
We also recommend double-checking that the selection is correct, since The FP-OS-40-218 is equivalent in performance to the FP-OS-25, due to the fact that cyclone oil separators are combined (oil separator and oil sump) and the oil is separated only in half the capacity ie. in volume ~ 20 l.

Hello! Can refrigerant receivers operate on R 410A refrigerant?

Hello!

         Vessels, manufactured under the trademark FP certified in accordance with the requirements of TR CU 032/2013 and are designed to work with refrigerants - working media group 2 in accordance with the classification of TR CU 032/2013. And as Freon R-410A refer to this group, and all the vessels and apparatus TM FP can be used with R-410A refrigerant within the parameters of allowable operating pressures. The design pressure for the standard range of vessels and apparatuses TM FP is 2.8 MPa.
         Please note that the estimated value of the pressure can not be less than the maximum allowable pressure. If you design refrigeration unit with single-stage compression cycle, single-stage throttling and air-cooled condenser, when used as a refrigerant R-410A is necessary to take the calculated value of the maximum pressure a refrigerant receiver is not less than 3.8 MPa (38 bar).
         For such pressures, our factory produces special series of vessels and safety valves, initially designed for the operating pressure of 4.5 MPa (45 bar) and this is a worldwide practice, the use of receptacles with a working pressure of 4.5 MPa for refrigerants R-410A and of CO2 (subcritical. ) .Such vascular model (and more information) you can ask our distributors or directly to the factory.
