Construction The compressor is driven by a specially designed motor mounted on one end of the compressor main shaft.
Page 5 of 58
HSS 3200 Series Application Manual The compressor consists of three cast-iron castings which are bolted together. The first casting, the main casing, encloses the motion work comprising the main rotor and star rotors. The second casting, the motor housing, encloses the 3 phase, 2 pole motor. Returning suction vapour flows around the stator/rotor unit, cooling the windings in the process, before entering the main rotor flutes. The third casing provides three functions: a delivery end cover, a separator and an oil filter housing. Thermistor probes, buried deep in each phase of the stator windings, provide protection against high temperatures. Phase wiring and thermistor terminations are made to a terminal plate inside an enclosure mounted on the top of the motor housing. The motion work, i.e. that part of the machine which performs the compression function, consists of three rotating parts; there are no eccentric or reciprocating motions. These fundamental components comprise the cylindrical main rotor in which are formed six-start, helically grooved screw threads with a spherical (hourglass) root form. The main rotor meshes with two identical toothed wheels each having eleven teeth. These wheels (or 'star rotors' as they are called owing to their shape), are made from a special synthetic material. They are located in a single plane diametrically opposite each other on either side of the main rotor, with their axes at right angles to the main rotor axis. As the main rotor turns, it imparts a freely rotating motion to the star rotors. The star rotors are supported by metal backings which are cast in onepiece with the star rotor shafts. Although they are located in place on their backings, the stars are allowed to 'float' a small amount in a rotational sense. This floating action, combined with the low inertia and negligible power transmission between the main rotor and star rotors, ensures compliance of the star/main rotor combination. The star rotor shafts are supported at each end by taper roller bearings. The main rotor is supported on a shaft the other end of which carries the motor rotor. The shaft is supported by an arrangement of rolling element bearings at three positions. This entire assembly is dynamically balanced. The main rotor and star rotors are housed inside the main casing. The inside of this main casing has a somewhat complex shape, but essentially consists of a specially shaped cylindrical annulus, which encloses the main rotor leaving a small clearance. Part of the annulus is cutaway at the suction end to allow the suction gas to enter the rotor. In addition there are two slots, one each side, to allow the star teeth to mesh with the main rotor flutes. The discharge ports (one for each star), are positioned at the other end of the annulus. These ports convey the compressed gas out of the compressor via the discharge outlet. Except for the discharge ports and oil management system, suction pressure prevails throughout the main casing. Side covers are provided to allow easy access to the star rotors, star rotor shafts and bearings, without disturbing working tolerances. The discharge end cover can also be removed to inspect the capacity control mechanism. The compressor is fitted with an integral suction strainer, built into the suction end cover, designed to trap any dirt circulating with the refrigerant which might otherwise enter and damage the compressor.
Page 6 of 58
HSS 3200 Series Application Manual The integral oil separator is bolted to the rear of the main casing. The impingement type separator is fitted with a knitted stainless steel mesh element which removes the majority of entrained oil from the discharge gas stream. Two sight-glasses, one each side, are provided to check the level of oil in the reservoir at the bottom of the separator. The reservoir is fitted with a 250 W heater. The integral oil separator is fitted with a built-in discharge check valve. As an option, for R134a applications only, the discharge connection can be fitted with a specially designed valve which combines the functions of a stop valve, non-return valve and head pressure control valve in one compact assembly; for further details refer to 6. 3N1 Three Function Valve for HSS 3200 Series Compressors (R134a Only). The 3N1 valve replaces the non-return valve otherwise fitted in the oil separator housing. 1.2.1. Internal Relief Valve The compressor is fitted with an internal suction/discharge relief valve to protect against overpressure, for example, in the event of operation with a closed delivery valve in the system. Adequate system relief valves designed to match the plant design pressure must be retained. 1.3. The Compression Process With single screw compressors the suction, compression and discharge process occurs in one continuous flow at each star wheel. In this process the suction gas fills the profile between the rotor, star tooth and casing. The volume is steadily reduced and the refrigerant gas thereby compressed. The high-pressure gas is discharged through a port, the size and geometry of which is determined by the internal volume ratio (ratio of the volume of gas at the start and finish of compression). This volume ratio must have a defined relationship to the mass flow and the working pressure ratio, to avoid losses in efficiency due to over and under compression. As the HallScrew is a positive displacement compressor, there are three separate stages in the compression cycle: suction, compression and discharge. These are illustrated in Fig 1.
Page 7 of 58
1. and 2. Suction Main rotor flutes 'a', 'b' and 'c' are in communication at one end with the suction chamber via the bevelled rotor end face, and are sealed at the other end by the teeth of star rotor A. As the main rotor turns, the effective length of the flutes increases with a corresponding increase in the volume open to the suction chamber: Diagram 1 clearly shows this process. As flute 'a' assumes the position of flutes 'b' and 'c' its volume increases, inducing suction vapour to enter the flute. Upon further rotation of the main rotor , the flutes which have been open to the suction chamber engage with the teeth of the other star rotor. This coincides with each flute being progressively sealed by the main rotor. Once the flute volume is closed off from the suction chamber, the suction stage of the compression cycle is complete.

4. Discharge As the star rotor tooth approaches the end of a flute, the pressure of the trapped vapour reaches a maximum value occurring when the leading edge of the flute begins to overlap the triangular shaped discharge port. Compression immediately ceases as the gas is delivered into the discharge manifold. The star rotor tooth continues to scavenge the flute until the flute volume is reduced to zero. This compression process is repeated for each flute/star tooth in turn. Discharge While the compression process described above is occurring in the upper half of the compressor, there is an identical process taking place simultaneously in the lower half using star B, thus each main rotor flute is used twice per rotor revolution (one by one tooth in each star). The compression process may be likened to an assembly of six double-acting cylinders (the main rotor flutes) in which the star rotor teeth move as pistons (always in the same direction).

Page 9 of 58
HSS 3200 Series Application Manual Each slide valve is housed in a semicircular slot in the wall of the annular ring which encloses the main rotor. As the slide valve travels axially from the full load position it uncovers a port, which vents part of the gas trapped in the main rotor flute back to suction, before compression can begin. When the flute has passed beyond the port, compression commences with a reduced volume of gas. However, a simple bypass arrangement without any further refinement would produce an undesirable fall in the effective volume ratio which in turn causes under compression and inefficient part load operation. To overcome this problem, the slide valve is shaped so that it delays the opening of the discharge port at the same time as the bypass slot is created. 2.1. Slide Valve Actuation The method of operation is illustrated in Fig 2. The capacity control slides valves are joined together by a yoke which is connected to a hydraulic piston, housed inside a cylinder and mounted internally at the discharge end of the compressor. Variation in compressor pumping capacity is achieved by altering the forces acting on the slide valve/piston assembly. Internal drillings communicate pressurised oil to the capacity control cylinder and vent the oil from the cylinder. The flow of oil is controlled by two separate solenoid valves, A and B; the solenoids are normally closed (NC), energise to open. The piston cylinder incorporates a spring. When the compressor is running, a pressure difference is created across the slide valves: discharge pressure acts on one end of the slides, suction pressure at the other end. This differential pressure creates a force on the slides tending to drive them towards the maximum load position. Oil pressure assisted by the spring force acting on the piston, creates an opposing force tending to move the slides towards the minimum load position. When the compressor is required to stop, or if the compressor is stopped before minimum load is attained, for example, a fault condition or operating emergency, the pressures within the compressor equalise. Under these conditions the spring moves the piston and slide valves to the minimum load position, thereby ensuring that the compressor always starts at minimum load. 2.1.1. Minimum Load Interlock Starting at minimum load minimises motor starting current and starting torque. This in turn minimises stresses on the motor and mechanical parts, and also reduces the load on the power supply network. The control system must be interlocked to prevent the compressor starting unless the linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT) provides an at minimum load permit start signal. 2.2. Continuously Variable Capacity Control The plant controller energises and de-energises the solenoids to control the rate of loading/unloading. These signals must be provided by a suitable pulse timer with a minimum pulse length of 0.1 to 0.5 seconds, depending upon the accuracy of control required. Solenoid A is energised to load the compressor, solenoid B is energised to unload.
Page 10 of 58
HSS 3200 Series Application Manual 2.2.1. Controlled Stop When the compressor is required to stop from a loaded condition, solenoid valve B is energised (open). High pressure oil is admitted to the capacity control cylinder. Oil pressure supplements the force of the spring acting on the unload side of the piston. The combined force is sufficient to overcome the action of the suction/discharge differential pressure and move the slide valves towards the minimum load position. 2.2.2. Uncontrolled Stop When an uncontrolled stop occurs: safety control operating, emergency stop or power failure, the unloading spring automatically returns the slide valves to minimum load. Unlike a controlled stop, unless the compressor was at minimum load before the uncontrolled stop occurred, the capacity control cylinder may contain some refrigerant vapour instead of being completely filled with oil. In this event a hydraulic lock will not be present and uncontrolled loading may occur on restarting. This undesirable behaviour can be minimised by arranging for solenoid valve B to energise (open): If a compressor trip, emergency stop or power failure occurs. 60 seconds before (but not during) compressor start-up. Energised until the compressor is required to load; refer to Fig 3.
CAPACITY CONTROL ACTION Load compressor Oil is vented from the capacity control cylinder. The action of the suction/ discharge differential pressure on the slide/piston assembly overcomes the force of the unloading spring and moves the slide valves towards the maximum load position. Unload compressor High pressure oil is admitted to the capacity control cylinder. Oil pressure supplements the force of the spring acting on the unload side of the piston. The combined force is sufficient to overcome the action of the suction/discharge differential pressure and move the slide valves towards the minimum load position. Hold slide valve position The slide valve is hydraulically locked at the desired load position.

HSS 3200 Series Application Manual 2.3. Capacity Control by Inverter Drive Instead of using the slide valve, compressor capacity can be controlled using a frequency inverter (also know as Variable Speed Drive or Variable Frequency Drive). If an inverter is used, the load/unload solenoid valves need to be controlled to allow the compressor to start at minimum load but load to full load when the compressor is running. There are three methods of achieving this; Energise the load solenoid continuously irrespective of whether the compressor is running or not. Energise the load solenoid continuously when the compressor is running and the unload solenoid continuously when the compressor is stopped. Remove the plunger from the load solenoid valve (only) and do not fit the coils. When using an inverter, it is of utmost importance that it is both sized and set up correctly. 2.3.1. Inverter Size The inverter must be sized to deliver the maximum current taken by the compressor motor at the maximum power conditions in most cases this is during pull down. The current capacity of an inverter drive is not reduced by running at less than synchronous speed. During pull down, the current can be limited by either using the slide valve to run the compressor unloaded, or by throttling the suction. If it is required to use the slide valve during pull down, then normal manual slide valve control can be used; refer to 2.2. Continuously Variable Capacity Control. 2.3.2. Inverter Set-up The inverter drive used must have the following facilities as a minimum; Load type: constant torque. Control method: PID (automatic) with facility for manual frequency control. Particular attention has to paid to setting up the inverter with the correct minimum frequency, maximum frequency and acceleration time. Minimum frequency and maximum frequency must be set according to the operating conditions; refer to J & E Hall International.

HSS 3200 Series Application Manual 4.2. Oil Low Level Sensor (Option) Provision is made to fit a level sensor to the oil separator at a point corresponding to a dangerously low oil level. The sensor must be electrically interlocked to stop the compressor if the oil level falls to the danger level. 4.3. Oil Differential Pressure Monitoring As already described in 3. Compressor Lubrication, Sealing and Cooling, HSS 3200 series compressors require an adequate supply of oil for injection, bearing lubrication and capacity control actuation. Under normal operating conditions this oil is supplied via the difference in pressure between discharge and suction pressures. On starting the suction/discharge pressure differential across the compressor builds rapidly. However, this pressure difference must be monitored to ensure it achieves the correct value within a specified time. Oil differential pressure monitoring must continue all the while the compressor is running in case operating conditions cause the differential to fall to an unacceptable level. Under these conditions operation of the compressor must be prevented or alternative oil injection arrangements made. The oil system must be protected by monitoring two oil differential pressures: ODP1 and ODP2. Two different methods are available: Electro-mechanical oil differential pressure switches. Transducers sensing the required pressures, connected to the plant controller with the differential pressure calculation performed by the software programme. 4.3.1. ODP1 This is the differential between oil injection pressure/suction pressure and determines if there is sufficient pressure difference for adequate oil injection to occur. ODP1 = Oil injection pressure Suction pressure Because oil injection takes place into a sealed flute during the compression process an estimate of the pressure in this flute must be made. This pressure is a ratio of the suction pressure and for maximum safety should be taken as twice absolute suction pressure. If ODP1 is sensed by transducers then the pressure ratio from suction to oil should be set to 2. If an oil differential pressure switch is used, this should be set to trip when oil pressure is below twice the maximum operating suction pressure (absolute). Example: Maximum suction pressure 3.0 bar abs (2 bar g) Minimum oil pressure 2 x 3.0 bar abs = 6.0 bar abs Oil differential switch setting (oil pressure suction pressure) = 6.0 3.0 = 3.0 bar On start up there is no system pressure differential, therefore, ODP1 must be timed out. The standard time out period is 30 seconds. If ODP1 is not achieved after this period alternative arrangements must be made. Refer to J & E Hall International for advice on the appropriate action. 4.3.2. ODP2 This is the differential across the oil injection line and should initially be set to 2.0 bar in order to prevent operation in the event of a blocked oil filter or similar obstruction in the oil injection line.
Page 16 of 58
HSS 3200 Series Application Manual ODP2 = Discharge pressure - Oil injection pressure If it is found that the normal operating ODP2 differential is above 2 bar with a clean filter, then the cut-out differential can be increased accordingly. ODP2 does not need to be timed out. 4.4. Maintaining Discharge Pressure at Start up Because oil pressure is generated by suction/discharge pressure differential, there is a minimum discharge pressure value which must be maintained in order to ensure adequate and reliable oil flow. In circumstances where the minimum discharge pressure is difficult to achieve, it is recommend to use the J & E Hall International three function valve; refer to 6. 3N1 Three Function Valve for HSS 3200 Series Compressors (R134a Only). 4.5. External Oil Cooler/Oil Filter HSS 3200 series compressors are fitted with an internal oil filter which is adequate for factory built chillers for which these compressors are designed, where system cleanliness can be guaranteed. The HSS 3200 series is also designed for liquid injection cooling, where necessary, to control the discharge temperature. High rates of liquid injection will derate the performance, so in these circumstances, particularly with refrigerants R407c and R22 with high condensing temperature, an external oil cooler can be used to enhance efficiency. If an external oil cooler is to be fitted and/or an external oil filter is preferred, then a special kit is available, part number M330874501, which allows the internal filter to be removed and provides an outlet for the oil to pass through an external circuit; refer to Fig 13. The minimum specification for an external oil filter is shown in Table 1.

Lubricating Oils The choice of lubricant depends on the refrigerant, the type of system and the operating conditions. For applications using R134a, R407c or other HFC refrigerants, ester lubricants must be used. The compressor is supplied already charged with oil, either Emkarate RL68H or ExxonMobil EAL Arctic 68. For applications using R22, the compressor is supplied already charged with Mobil Arctic 300 mineral oil.

Compressor Cooling
The standard method of cooling for HSS 3200 series compressors is by direct injection of liquid refrigerant into the compressor main rotor flute, part-way through the compression process. For further details refer to publication 2-122 Compressor Cooling. 5.1. Deciding if Liquid Injection is Required As the compressor unloads the condensing temperature decreases because the load on the condenser is reduced. For air conditioning applications in particular (not for process applications), there is a further reduction in condensing temperature associated with the reduced ambient for part load operation. This is added to the reduction in condensing temperature due to the reduced load. There is also a small increase in evaporating temperature. The No Cooling Load Limit envelopes illustrated in Appendix 3 and the examples in Fig 5 are divided into areas which show the compressor percentage load range for operation without liquid injection cooling. 5.2. Liquid Injection Control and Economiser Connections R134a The compressor is fitted as standard with a special liquid injection orifice plug in the top liquid injection/economiser connection only. This plug is used for R134a liquid injection cooling only. The bottom connection is fitted with a solid plug. R407c and R22 The standard arrangement for R22 and R407c is to use a thermostatic liquid injection valve. In this case the special orifice plug fitted in the top connection and the blank plug fitted in the bottom connection should be removed. It may be possible to use the R134a arrangement for R22 and R407C applications with limited maximum condensing temperature (approximately 50 C SDT), but this must be subject to verification by trial, undertaken by the chiller manufacturer, that the maximum discharge temperature is not exceeded when the maximum liquid injection demand is required (this may be at minimum load). Such trials must be at the chiller development stage (not on an end user installation) and must be sanctioned by J & E Hall International Ltd for the warranty to remain valid. Different connection arrangements are used depending on the application and the refrigerant, these are summarised in Fig 6. 5.3. Liquid Injection Valve Selection The liquid injection valve must be specifically designed for liquid injection cooling of screw refrigeration compressors. The valve may be thermostatically operated (e.g. Alco 935 series) or electronically via a temperature transducer, transmitter and controller. The liquid injection valve must be sized to control discharge temperature at 90 C. Select the valve as follows: Use the J & E Hall International HSS 3200 series compressor selection programme, available on CD, to obtain the cooling requirement for the required duty. Use the graphs in publication 2-122 Compressor Cooling to obtain the pressure difference for the operating conditions. Select the correct valve from manufacturers literature.
Page 18 of 58
Step 1 Plot the design operating conditions at maximum load on the envelope. If the plotted point is above the line Liquid Injection Cooling Always Required, liquid injection cooling is required at all loading conditions. If the point is somewhere below the line, liquid injection cooling is not required at full load, proceed to Step 2. Step 2 Plot the design operating conditions at minimum (25 %) load on the envelope, taking into consideration the reduction in condensing temperature, the increase in evaporating temperature and accounting for other compressors that may be running at maximum load. If the plotted point is within the 25 % to 100 % area, then the compressor can run without liquid injection at minimum (25 %) load. Liquid injection is not required at any loading conditions provided the design operating conditions at 50 % load, when plotted, is within the 50 % to 100 % area. If the minimum (25 %) load point is within the 50 % to 100 % area, then either: a) b) Liquid injection cooling will be necessary for operation at minimum (25 %) load, or If it is not intended to provide liquid injection, the compressor must be prevented from unloading below 50 %.

NOTES If, by this processes, it is decided that liquid injection is not required, as a precaution, the actual discharge temperature must be checked at all loading conditions.

If load limiting is applied, ask J & E Hall International for the correct slide valve position to achieve this. Compressor capacity is infinitely variable from 100 % to approximately 25 % of full load (depends on the operating conditions). These load limit lines for liquid injection are approximate and are only intended to be used as a guide. More detailed analysis can be made using the compressor selection software.

3N1 Three Function Valve for HSS 3200 Series Compressors (R134a Only)
As an option, for R134a applications only, the discharge connection can be fitted with a specially designed valve which combines the following functions in one compact assembly. Discharge stop valve. Discharge check valve. Head pressure control valve (useful for applications using an air cooled condenser). Note: when fitting or refitting the 3N1 valve, the pilot line between the valve and the connection provided on the compressor sensing suction pressure must be fitted. Failure to do so will prevent the valve from opening. The 3N1 valve replaces the non-return valve otherwise fitted in the oil separator housing discharge.

Electrical Connections
8.1. Compressor Starting The HSS 3200 series compressor motor is wired for star/delta starting. Soft-start or inverter drive starting methods can be accommodated using terminal links available from J & E Hall International. These links could be used for DOL starting, but this method of starting is not preferred by J & E Hall International. Installing the terminal links requires modification to the terminal insulators; refer to J & E Hall International. 8.2. Motor Wiring Connections Terminal box wiring is illustrated in Fig 8 and Fig 9. Refer to Appendix 1 Compressor Data for motor data. The standard terminal box rating is IP54, IP65 available to special order. 8.3. Thermistors Compressor motor and discharge high temperature thermistors are fitted as standard and should be wired as illustrated in Fig 8. 8.4. Capacity Control Solenoids The solenoids must be connected to a suitable plant controller that will energise the appropriate coil to load or unload the compressor via changes to the operation of the system into which the compressor is fitted. The measured variable may be chilled water temperature, suction pressure, etc. Power must be supplied to the solenoids via a suitable pulse timer with a minimum pulse length of 0.1 to 0.5 seconds, depending upon the accuracy of control required. Operation of the solenoid with load is not linear, more pulses will be required at low loads for the same change in load compared with operation at high load. 8.5. Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT) The LVDT provides a continuous 4 to 20 mA slide valve position signal between minimum load (25 %) and maximum load (100 %). Slide valve position is not linearly proportional to the actual capacity of the compressor and greater slide travel is required at low load compared with high loads for the same change in load. The LVDT is only available without calibration, this must be done on the controller. However, a signal conditioning module is available for applications where this is not possible. External wiring connections are shown in Fig 10. Set up instructions for the signal conditioning module can be found in Appendix 6 Pepperl & Fuchs Signal Conditioning Module KFU8-USC-1.D Set-up. 8.6. Oil Low Level Sensor (Option) External wiring connections are shown in Fig 11. A conditioning relay is required to provide a volt-free contact.

Sound pressure level data refers to free-field conditions at a distance of 1 metre from the compressor periphery. It is important to remember that on a specific installation the actual sound pressure level is considerably affected by the size and type of room, material of construction and plant design. Adjoining pipework, including suction, can have a very substantial effect on the noise level. Sound pressure levels given in dB refer to 2 x 10-5 N/m2 RMS.

Operation can be done with the slide valve in any position. The unit of % cannot be chosen for this application because of the special functionality given to it inbuilt in the unit (for example, if % is chosen as the unit then the required Factor cannot be set). Therefore it is suggested that l is chosen as the unit for simplicity although it must be recognised that for this application the unit does not any real meaning, i.e. the value is dimensionless or can be interpreted as a percentage value.
