Note: The oil filter must always be replaced when


changing oil or if indicated by control lamp or
UNISAB II.
The scope of the overhaul must follow the scheme
below:

1 x service interval: Use service set A

2 x service interval: Use service set B

3 x service interval: Use service set A

4 x service interval: Use service set C

The service sets include parts which must always


be replaced regardless of appearance when compressor is opened. The above cycle is repeated as
long as the compressor is in operation. The content of the individual service set is shown in the
annex.
After the first 200 hours of operation, use the commissioning set supplied with the compressor.
Inspection parts
Besides the predetermined replacement according to above service sets, an inspection of certain
parts is prescribed. Parts for inspection are shown
in the annex. Criteria for replacement of inspected
parts are shown in separate instruction.
Nice-to-have-parts
A list of recommended parts supporting the parts
inspection is available. The list contains all parts
necessary if the inspected parts must be replaced.
In other words, these lists tell the service technician what to bring to the inspection.

If the service interval exceeds one year, an annual


service and inspection is recommended. Oil and
gas suction filters should be changed, one top
cover should be dismantled and the discharge
valve and cylinder liner should be inspected.
Further a side cover must be removed and one
connection rod bearing half should be removed to

inspect crankshaft journal and the big end of the


connection rods.
While service sets A, B and C are intended for actual service, the recommended annual service
is intended to ensure that the compressor is inspected each year.

Inspection of thermostats
Depending on temperature range, thermostats
are checked as follows:

Low temperature range, by means of ice


water ( +/-0C ).

High temperature range, by means of boiling water ( +100C ).

Actual temperature setting is checked by


slowly increasing or decreasing the setting
while monitoring temperature cut off.

After checking, reset to actual condition.

Filling and evacuation of the pump vessel is controlled by the two level sensors pos. 98C. By
means of the control box, pos. 98B, the sensors
control the solenoid valves pos. 98G and pos.
98H. The solenoids open and close simultaneously open during filling of the pump vessel and
closed during emptying of the pump vessel.
Check the function of the thermostat pos. 98X.
The thermostat is factory set to start operation
once the discharge gas temperature is above
80C.
If the above inspection reveals malfunctioning:

Inspection of thermopump
Check the general function of the thermopump by
checking the pumping cycle monitored by the
light diodes inside the control box.
The pumping cycle of the thermopump, i.e. a filling
and an evacuation period, lasts between 4 and 8
minutes depending on the oil temperature, operating conditions and number of cylinders of the compressor. The filling period takes about 45 sec.

8/30

Clean the filter pos. 80 and possibly the nozzles pos. 98M.

Check the function of the non-return valves


pos. 98K and 98Z by blowing compressed
air opposite the normal flow direction.

Check the level sensors and the control box


according to instructions in the Service
manual.

Rev. 04.05

Service guide SMC and TSMC 100 Mk1, 2, 3 and 4

Inspection of shaft seal


During operation a small amount of oil leaks from
the shaft seal. The oil forms a lubricating film between the rotating and the static face and thus
performs the sealing effect. Due to the differential
pressure, a certain flow out of the shaft seal cannot be avoided.

If a shaft seal for any reason has been dismantled,


always replace O-rings before assembling. Check
that the sealing faces are clean, smooth and free
of scratches and wear marks.

Usually the amount of leaked oil is fairly small but


even when there is no mechanical fault, the shaft
seal leak rate may vary considerably. This may be
the result of different operating conditions as well
as the actual vibration condition and also the state
of the oil as temperature, viscosity, purity and refrigerant content will influence the sealing effect.

If equipped with mechanical controls


1.
Low suction pressure cut out, KP1(A) or
KP15(A):

Inspection of safety controls

01 introduction.fm

The leak may be somewhat more extensive at the


initial start-up of the compressor as the sliding surfaces have to a adapt to each other.
The actual leak rate must be checked according to
the compressor logbook by comparing it with the
table below.

2.

Good: leave the shaft seal as it is unless performing service B or C. At these services the
shaft seal must always be replaced.
Worn or Defect: replace the shaft seal. In
some cases the replacement of a Worn shaft
seal may be postponed to the next scheduled
service.
It is recommended to exercise great care with the
lapped slide surfaces as even the slightest scratch
or other damage to the slide surfaces will result in
leaks.

must be activated and the oil temperature during
standstill must be clearly ( 10K or more ) above
ambient temperature.

Check the tightness of the gland at the valve spindle by appropriate leak detection while turning the
valve spindle.

Check if the power supply is switched on and


check the resistance of the heating cartridge by
using a multi-meter. If the heating circuit is cut off,
the resistance is infinitely great.

In case of leak, the packing gland pos. 25M and

surfaces should be

Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder


liner at the top and bottom of the running
face.

Perform the measurement with a micrometer


gauge. The diameter should not exceed 100.25
mm anywhere.
If a measuring gauge is not at hand, wear may be
measured indirectly by a piston ring and a feeler
gauge (oil must be wiped away before measuring):
1.

Insert a piston ring (preferably a new one) in


the lower non-worn part of the cylinder
sleeve. Measure the gab between the ends
of the ring with a feeler gauge.

20/30

2.

Secondly, move the piston ring to approximately 10 mm below the top of the sleeve.
Again, measure the gab between the ends
of the ring.

3.

Finally, move piston ring to the lower part of


the worn area, approximately 10 mm above
the transition between worn and non-worn
area. Measure the gab.

4.

Compare the measurements. The maximum difference between measurements in


non-worn and worn area (running face)
should not exceed 0.6 mm.

If a cylinder sleeve shows any of the above defects, it must be replaced.

Hold the piston steady against a level surface. Press the small end of the connecting
rod towards one side of the piston.

Try to move the big end of the connecting


rod sideways. The big end should not move
more than 1 mm sideways.

Inspection of piston pin


1.

At normal workshop temperature, you


should be able to just slightly rotate and
move sideways the piston pin with your fin-

gers. The hotter the piston gets, the more


the fitting will loosen. There should be no
clearance in the fitting.

2.

The diameter of the piston pin should not be


less than 39.96 mm.

3.

Feel the bearing surfaces on the piston pin


with your fingertips and make sure that they
are even.

Inspection of pistons
1.

Make sure there are no deep scratches in


the piston skirt.

2.

The width of a worn area must not exceed


30 mm.

Worn area. Scratches are


visible and you can feel
them with your fingertips.

The picture shows a useless piston.


In order for a piston to be reused, it must be in a considerably better condition than this one.
3.

The diameter of the piston should not be


less than 99.7 mm.

4.

Check that the piston rings can be turned


freely in the piston groove.

5.

Check the axial clearance between the piston and the ring using a feeler gauge. It must
not exceed 0.2 mm with a new piston ring.

Inspection of unloading mechanism


Make sure that wear has not made oval holes in
the spring eye fittings.
Connect the prelubrication pump to each unloading cylinder. Press the pump handle with a constant pressure of approx. 20 kp. The handle must
not sink more than 5 cm in 60 seconds. Observe

30/30

that the unloading frame moves between extreme


positions when the pressure is activated and removed.
Check for broken springs and wear on rocker
arms and the bushing in the unloading system.
