pipeline or filling hose and make sure that no liquid is
enclosed in it any more!

drier. It is recommended to change the filter drier sev-
eral times after commissioning.
Due to the high requirements regarding residual mois-
ture, a filter drier is required when filling with CO
quality level N3.0!
Filling process
◦ Do not switch on the compressor.
◦ Switch on the oil heater.
◦ Do not start the charging process until the following
oil temperature has been reached: min. t
20 K. Ideally at 35°C .. 40°C.
• Use a pressure reducer and flexible filling pipelines
to connect the CO
refrigerant bottle to the service
2
connections of the system (suction and high pres-
sure side). Before tightening the screwed joints, flush
the pipelines with CO
• Open the valves of the charging connections and
break the vacuum with CO
the filling cylinder until an overpressure of approxim-
ately 10 bar is reached. If the temperature of the re-
frigerant bottle is too low, it should be heated in a
water bath (water max. 40°C).
NOTICE
!
!
If the system pressure exceeds 10 bar, make
sure that the suction and discharge shut-off
valves of the compressor(s) are closed.
For booster systems: compressors of the me-
dium temperature and low temperature stages
are concerned.
The following work steps until commissioning may differ
depending on the system type.

Single stage systems without intermediate
pressure receiver
• Continue to fill the system with gaseous CO
maximum pressure of 40 bar.
• Make sure that the solenoid valves on the com-
pressor are closed (de-energised).

Medium temperature and low temperature
booster systems
NOTICE
!
!
Observe the different maximum allowable pres-
sures of compressors and components used in
medium and low temperature stages.
If system pressure exceeds approx. 10 bar, en-
sure that the suction gas and discharge gas
shut-off valves in medium and low temperature
stages are closed!
• Make sure that the solenoid valves of the evaporator
in the low temperature stage are closed (de-ener-
gised).
• Continue to charge the medium temperature stage
with gaseous CO

dium temperature stage, ensure that the solenoid
valves at the evaporator are shut (de-energised)
