Compressor
ROTARY SCREW
COMPRESSOR UNITS
MODELS 60 - 399
Refrigerant R717
(Ammonia)
Designed for all refrigeration
applications.
RWB II Rotary Screw Compressor Units
are engineered and manufactured to meet
the exacting requirements of the Industrial
Refrigeration Market. All components have
been designed and arranged to assure
reliability, accessibility, and servicing
convenience. Standard units are designed
for booster or high-stage duty with
ammonia, halocarbon, or hydrocarbon
refrigerants and are shipped completely
assembled.
The Frick manufactured RWB II compressor has been designed utilizing
the latest technology to offer the most reliable and energy efficient unit
currently available. All screw compressor casings are designed and tested
in accordance with the requirements of common standard for 24 barg
maximum discharge pressure. Rotors for models 60-270 are manufactured
from bar stock. Rotors for models 316-399 are manufactured from
forged steel. Both use the latest asymmetric profiles. The compressor
incorporates a complete antifriction bearing design for reduced power
consumption and the bearings selected provide an L10 life in excess of
100,000 hours at design conditions.
Capacity Control
Capacity control is achieved by use of a slide valve which provides fully
modulating capacity control from 100% to approximately 10% of full load.
"Volumizer®" Variable Volume Ratio Control
The RWB II compressor includes a patented method of varying the internal
volume ratio to match the system pressure ratio, eliminating the power
penalty associated with over- or undercompression.
Lubrication System
The RWB II compressor is designed specifically for operation without an
oil pump under normal operating conditions. All oil required for main oil
injection and lubrication is provided by positive gas differential pressure.
All oil passes through a 15 micron filter furnished with isolation stop
valves and drain connections for ease of servicing. Booster and some low
pressure differential, high-stage applications will require the demand oil
pump option.
Oil Separator/Reservoir
The oil separator is a horizontal, three-stage design with integral sump.
The separator is designed and constructed in accordance with PED for
a maximum design working pressure of 20.4 barg (24 barg in option).
Replaceable coalescent separator elements are provided for final gas/oil
separation of particles down to less than 1 micron.
Oil Cooling
Cooling the compressor oil may be achieved by either liquid-refrigerant-
injection oil cooling, water-cooled oil cooling, or thermosyphon oil cooling.
Water-cooled and thermosyphon oil-cooled systems are supplied with
shell and tubes type heat exchangers mounted on the unit.
Quantum Control Center
The Quantum control panel is factory mounted, IP54 CE listed, and
completely piped and wired with all the required safety and operating
devices. A built-in telecommunications interface suitable for connection to
a remote computer or control device is included. A 10.4 « Active Color VGA
Graphics Display offers a high contrast, crisp clear display of compressor
information and status. Additional I/O can be easily installed in the field. This
feature provides flexibility for future engine room upgrades and changes.
Two field-selectable serial communication ports allow you to choose from
a combination of RS- 422, RS-485, or RS-232 port configurations for both
interpanel and external communications. Included in the microprocessor
is time-proportioning capacity control, firstout annunciation, prealarms,
volumizer control, real-time clock control, access code protection, lead-
lag sequencing, alternate suction pressure operation, trending, and more.
The operating conditions at the time of the compressor’s last ten alarms
or shutdowns are stored in memory, providing the ultimate in service and
troubleshooting convenience.
Valves
The unit has a combination suction shutoff and check

valve with strainer multivalve. The unit’s discharge
has a mounted combination check and shutoff valve
