Procedure for Starting the Plant in Manual Mode

1. Turn on the sea water pump. Monitor its operation by the pressure
gauge.

2. Set the compressor operating mode switch to MANUAL position.

3. Open the shut-off valves on the liquid refrigerant circulation lines.

4. If the refrigeration plant is expected to operate for its own group
of storerooms only, shut-off valves on the connecting steam and
liquid pipelines are closed. If one of the refrigeration plants operates
for both groups of consumers (the second plant is not turned on),
the shut-off valves should be closed.

5. Adjust the low pressure switch.
On OFF scale, set the pressure value whereby the compressor is turned
off.
By the moment of the compressor stop, the temperature in all the cooled
storerooms should achieve the set value. On ON scale, set the pressure
value whereby the compressor is turned on. By this moment, temperature
in at least one room has grown to more than the set value.

6. Adjust thermoswitches for each storeroom.

7. For Butter and Dry. Prov. storerooms. Adjust the evaporation
pressure control.

8. Open the master solenoid valve.

9. Start the compressor.

equipment will be performed in each cooling space.

12. Set the defrosting system control switch to AUTO position.

13. Monitor the plant operation parameters maintaining their values within
the standard range. You will be advised about all the faults by the alarm
system. As a monitored parameter reaches the maximum permissible
value, the safety system is actuated: an appropriate alarm is turned on in
the bottom part of the screen.

14. Load (unload) as necessary the set mass of goods (products) into/from
the storerooms.

Defrosting of Refrigeration Equipment in Manual Mode

This is used in case of excessive growth of hoar frost on the surface of
refrigerating units:

1. If the thickness of the hoar frost layer is 5 mm or more, and the
equipment defrosting process has not been started automatically, then it is
necessary to: Set the defrosting system control switch to MANUAL
position.

2. Press ON button under the switch.

Replenishment of Liquid Refrigerant

This is performed if the refrigerating plant operating mode indicates the
insufficiency of liquid refrigerant in the system (low level of liquid
refrigerant in the condenser receiver part, gas bubbles in the sight glass,
low suction pressure, extensive overheating on the suction line and high
charging temperature):


2. Close the shut-off valve on the liquid line after the condenser.

3. Open the make-up valve.

4. Monitor the liquid refrigerant level by using the sight glass on the
receiver part of the condenser.

5. After the end of the process, close the make-up valve (the liquid

has dropped to below mark. The oil should best be added with the
compressor not running (the oil level is clearly visible in the sight glass):


2. Close the compressor suction valve.

3. After the suction pressure (in the sump) has dropped to a value
below the atmospheric pressure ( -0.5 bars), stop the compressor.

4. Open the oil make-up valve.

5. After the end of the process (oil level is not higher than 2/3
of the sight glass), close the valve.


7. Set the operating mode switch to AUTO position.

8. Monitor the refrigerating plant operating parameters. Where the
compressor cannot be stopped (e.g. loading of a considerable
amount of goods with rather high temperature) at the moment of oil
replenishment, it is necessary:

9. To re-adjust the low pressure switch on OFF scale make -0.5 -
0.3 setting.

10. After the pressure has dropped below the atmospheric pressure, open
the oil make-up valve.

11. After the end of the process, close the valve.

12. Re-adjust the low pressure switch to the operating mode.

13. Monitor the refrigerating plant operating parameters. If oil is added to
the operating compressor, the replenishment will be either
excessive or incomplete.

This is performed if the pressure gauge needle on the charging line makes
jerking oscillatory motions, and the charging pressure exceeds the
optimum value by 0.2 MPa and more:


2. Turn the compressor off.

3. Turn the compressor off (on the right in Fig).

4. After the water temperature drops at the condenser outlet
(OUTLET temperature gauge) down to the sea water temperature
(INLET temperature gauge), open the valve for the discharge of air
from the system.

5. As the charging pressure drops to the value corresponding to the
optimum condensation temperature, i.e. as the temperature readings in
DISCHARGE pressure gauge and DISCHARGE temperature gauge are
equalised, close the air discharge valve.

6. Monitor the level of liquid refrigerant by using the sight glass on the
condenser (there should be no lowering of the level).

7. Adjust the condensation pressure control for the maintaining of the set
pressure value (0.6 0.7 MPa).



Replacement of Filter Drain

This is done when the colour of the sight glass indicator changes. The
indicator
colour changes from green to yellow as the moisture penetrates in the
liquid refrigerant system:

1. Close the shut-off valves of the filter drain.

2. Open the bypass valve of the filter drain.
As this is done, the indicator colour will change from the yellow colour to
green, i.e. there will be an imitation of the filter drain replacement.

3. Open the shut-off valves of the filter drain.

4. Close the bypass valves of the filter drain.

Compressor Breakdown

In case of failure of one of the compressors, the other compressor will
maintain the required temperature in all the six provision storerooms:

1. Re-adjust the low pressure switch of the operating compressor (N2) as
required (in case of breakdown of compressor N1).

2. Set the operating mode switch of the stopped (broken) compressor to
MANUAL position.

not operating.

4. Open the shut-off valves on the steam and liquid connecting lines.

Air Conditioning Plant Operation and
Maintenance

Procedure to Bring the Air Conditioning System into Operation in
Summer Mode

The air conditioning system is switched to the summer more as the
ambient
temperature grows to +25:

1. Set the conditioner operating mode switch to SUMMER position.

2. Open the valve for feeding water to the compressors cooling.

3. Turn on the sea water pump.

4. Open the shut-off valves on the liquid refrigerant circulation lines.

Simulator Module Systems

7. Adjust the low pressure switch. On OFF scale, set the suction
pressure value whereupon, with some delay, the compressor cylinders will
start to turn off. On ON scale, set the pressure value whereupon the
compressor cylinders will start to turn on, by the timer, too.

8. Open the master solenoid valve.

9. Check if the compressor suction valve is closed.

10. Run the compressor.
As this is done, the electromagnetic actuators which raise the suction
valve plates are ON, taking the cylinders out of operation and thus creating
the compressors idle running. After the compressor has been run, the
pushing devices are turned off in several seconds, and its cylinders start
operating:

1. Partly open (to 5-10%) the compressor suction valve.

2. Check pressure in the compressor lubricating system.

3. With normal oil pressure value, continue opening the suction valve
observing
safety precautions.

4. Set the compressor operating mode switch to AUTO position.

5. Use manual switches to set the desired air temperature in the cabins.

6. Use manual switches to set the desired air temperature in the cabins.
Values of temperature and humidity in the cabin are shown on indicators.

7. Monitor the plant operating parameters maintaining their values within a
standard range. The alarm system will signal about all the possible faults.
As a monitored parameters reaches its limit value, and appropriate alarm
lights up in the bottom part of the screen. Where no steps are made to
normalise the compressor operation, SHUT DOWN protection is actuated,
and the compressor is stopped, where after it can be brought back into
operation in MANUAL mode only.

Procedure to Bring the Air Conditioning System into Operation
in Transient Mode

The air conditioning system is switched to the transient mode at the
ambient temperature of +15 to +25.
Set the conditioner operating mode switch to WINTER position, turn off the
heaters and humidifier: the fan only will remain operating.

Procedure to Bring the Air Conditioning System into Operation in
Winter Mode

The air conditioning system is switched to the winter operating mode when
the ambient temperature drops to +15:

1. Set the conditioner operating mode switch to WINTER position.

2. Depending on the ambient temperature (t), tune on the first and second
stage heaters. Ambient temperature after the first and second stage
heaters, as well as relative humidity of the treated air is maintained
automatically by using the direct-acting temperature controls (steam
control valves). In this case, the first stage control maintains constant
temperature at the first duct outlet, whereas the second stage control
maintains temperature at the second duct outlet in accordance
with its setting changed automatically with the ambient temperature.

3. To control the air humidity, it is first necessary to turn on H2O valve
manually monitoring the air humidity values in the first and second ducts.
After it has been set, humidity is controlled automatically in accordance
with the ambient temperature by the first duct temperature control.

4. Use manual switches in the cabin to set the desired temperature
in the cabin.

5. Monitor the air conditioned operation parameters maintaining their
values within the standard range.

Refrigerant Replenishment

The operation is performed if the refrigeration plant operating mode
indicates insufficient refrigerant in the system (low refrigerant level in the
receiver, gas bubbles in the sight glass, low suction pressure, excessive
heating in the suction line and high temperature on the charging line):


2. Close the shut-off valve on the liquid line after the receiver.

3. Open the make-up valve.

4. Monitor the refrigerant level by the sight glass on the receiver.
5. After the end of the process, close the make-up valve (the refrigerant
level on the receiver sight glass is 50%).

6. Open the shut-off valve after the receiver.


8. Monitor the refrigerating plant operation parameters.

9. In case of the system overfilling with liquid refrigerant, there may be
damp compressor operation.

Compressor Replenishment with Oil

This is performed if the oil level in the sight glass on the compressor sump
has dropped to below height mark. The oil should best be added with
the compressor not running (oil level is clearly visible in the sight glass):



3. After the suction pressure (in the sump) has dropped to a value
below the atmospheric pressure (-0.5 bars), stop the compressor.

4. Open the oil make-up valve.

5. After the end of the process (oil level is not higher than 2/3 of the sight
glass), close the valve.


7. Open the compressor suction valve.


9. Monitor the refrigerating plant operating parameters.

Air Discharge from the Refrigerant System

This is performed if the pressure gauge needle on the charging line makes
jerking oscillatory motions, and the charging pressure exceeds the
optimum value by 2 bars or more:



3. Turn the compressor off.

4. Adjust the condensation pressure control to 100% opening (which
corresponds to the setters position 5).

5. After the water temperature drops at the condenser outlet
(OUTLET temperature gauge) down to the sea water temperature
(INLET temperature gauge), open the valve for the discharge of air
from the system.

6. As the charging pressure drops to the value corresponding to the
optimum condensation temperature, i.e. as the temperature readings in
DISCHARGE pressure gauge and DISCHARGE temperature gauge are
equalised, close the air discharge valve.

7. Monitor the level of refrigerant by using the sight glass on the condenser
(there should be no lowering of the level). 8. Adjust the condensation
pressure control for the maintaining of the set pressure value (9-10 bars).


10. Open the compressor suction valve.


Replacement if Moisture Eliminator

This is done when the colour of the sight glass indicator changes. The
indicator colour changes from green to yellow as the moisture penetrates
in the refrigerant system:

1. Close the moisture eliminator shut-off valves.

2. Open the moisture eliminator bypass valve.

3. Open the valve for drawing off refrigerant from the moisture eliminator
for several minutes (1-2 minutes).

4. Close the valve for drawing off refrigerant from the moisture eliminator.

5. Open the moisture eliminator shut-off valves.

6. Close the moisture eliminator bypass valve. As this is done, the
indicator colour will change from the yellow colour to green, i.e.
there will be an imitation of the moisture eliminator replacement.

Elimination of Compressor Damp Operation

This is performed if there is a sharp drop of temperature on the charging
line (down to +10-0), overheating decreases, the compressor noise
changes to dull, the cylinder walls and sump are covered with ice (if there
is considerable flooding with liquid refrigerant), rattling noise appears, and
the amperemeter needle goes beyond the red line:

1. Close the compressor suction valve leaving it 5-10% open.

2. After the indications of damp operation disappear, open the compressor
suction
valve slowly.

3. Check oil level in the sump replenish the compressor with oil as
required.

Breakage of Conditioner Fan

If a fan is broken, air is supplied to this conditioner by the fan of the
conditioner on the other board through the air flap. To do this, press the
air flap control button. You can act in much the same way in case of the
fan air filter fouling until it is replaced (the fault is eliminated from the
instructor workplace).

Breakage of Automatic Steam Control Valve

If the automatic steam control valve is broken:

1. Close the shut-off valves Bypass 1 and Bypass 2 of the
steam control (for the time of the repairs).

2. Open the manual control valve on the bypass line, adjusting its flow by
the
readings of temperature gauges at the outlets of the first and second
ducts.
