4.2 Installing the compressor

Install/mount the compressor horizontally. Take suit-
able measures if the compressor is operated under ex-
treme conditions (e.g. aggressive atmosphere, low out-
side temperatures, etc.). Consultation with BITZER is
recommended.
4.2.1

Vibration dampers

The compressor may be mounted rigidly if there is no
danger of fatigue fractures in the pipeline system con-
nected to it. To do so, for compressors
• 2KES-05(Y) .. 2FES-3(Y)
• 2EES-2(Y) .. 2CES-4(Y)
• 4FES-3(Y) .. 4BES-9(Y)
• 2DES-3.F1Y
• 4FE-5.F1Y .. 4CE-6.F1Y
• 4DE-7.F3Y .. 4CE-9.F3Y
• 4FDC-5Y .. 4CDC-9Y
place a disk between each compressor base and frame
(part number 313 095 01). Otherwise, the compressor
must be mounted on vibration dampers, see figure 2,
page 8. This is in particular required when mounting
it on shell and tube heat exchangers:

NOTICE
!
!
Do not mount the compressor solidly on the
heat exchanger!
Risk of damage to the heat exchanger (fatigue
fractures).
Mounting the suction gas and discharge gas lines:
Place compressor on the vibration elements or mount it
rigidly. In this position (operational position), connect
the suction gas and discharge gas lines free of stress.
Transport locks for condensing units
To avoid transport damage to condensing units in their
state of delivery, the vibration dampers of the com-
pressors are blocked by transport locks. It is absolutely
necessary to remove or loosen these locks after mount-
ing.
