Note:
① Eliminate the measurement error caused by the dial indicator at different positions.
② Only the motor can be adjusted when aligning.
③ When assembling the self-locking nut, a small amount of neutral refrigeration oil should be applied.
④The self-locking nut has a limited number of times of use and should be replaced in time.
2. Auxiliary equipment and pipeline connections
1. Pipelines
①Oxide scales inside the pipelines should be thoroughly cleaned;
②The suction and exhaust pipes of the unit should not be connected with other equipment forcibly, so as not to cause deformation of the connecting parts and offset of the motor center;
③High pressure pipes When passing through the wall, a protective cover should be added, and a gap of 10mm should be left in between. The low-pressure pipe should be lined with wood between the pipe and the bracket
; The upper branch pipe of the gas pipeline shall be connected from the upper part or the side of the main pipe.
⑤ When the suction and exhaust pipes are laid, the distance between the outer walls of the pipes should be greater than 200mm; when they are laid on the same support, the suction pipe should be installed under the exhaust pipe.

⑥The slope direction of pipelines between equipment connections shall meet the requirements in the table below:

⑦The ammonia refrigeration system uses seamless steel pipes, which cannot be replaced by copper pipes or other pipes, and the inner wall must not be galvanized; the Freon system can use copper pipes or seamless steel pipes, and the inner wall must not be galvanized; cooling water and refrigerant water pipes can use galvanized welded steel pipes.
⑧ Pipe bends can be divided into two types: cold bending and hot bending. Pipes with an outer diameter of 57mm and above generally use hot bending, and pipes with an outer diameter of 57mm or less can use cold bending. When the pipe is hot-bent, the bending radius shall not be less than 3.5 times the nominal diameter of the pipe.
2. Valves
① One-way valves should be installed in the direction of refrigerant flow;
② For valves with handles, the handles should not be downwards, and the valve heads of solenoid valves, thermal expansion valves, lift check valves, etc. should be installed vertically upwards;
③The thermal expansion valve should be located close to the evaporator. The balance pipe of the externally balanced thermal expansion valve should be installed downstream of the binding place of the temperature sensing bag in the return air pipeline. The distance from the binding place of the temperature sensing bag is 150-200mm.
3. Installation and positioning
of auxiliary equipment ① The horizontal deviation of horizontal auxiliary equipment and the vertical deviation of vertical auxiliary equipment installation without special requirements should not be greater than 1/1000.
②The quadruple casing air separator should be installed horizontally, and the installation elevation is generally 1.2m. The ammonia liquid inlet end should be higher than the other end, and its slope should be 5/1000.
③Installation of equipment such as liquid receivers and horizontal evaporators with oil bags or oil drains at one end of the equipment, the slope should be 2/1000 to the side of the oil drain.
④ For low-temperature equipment installed in a normal temperature environment, hard skids should be added under the supports, and the skids should be treated with anti-corrosion in advance. The thickness of the skids should not be less than the thickness of the insulation layer.
⑤Vertical condensers are generally installed outdoors, using the condenser's circulating water pool as the basis; horizontal condensers can be installed indoors or outdoors, and when installed indoors, a distance equivalent to the length of the condenser heat exchange tube should be left for convenience. Repair and Replacement.
⑥When the ammonia refrigerator system equipment is installed, there should be a height difference of 0.3-0.4m between the condenser and the liquid storage tank.
⑦The oil collector should be installed outdoors, and the place where the oil discharge pipe should be placed should be spacious to prevent accidents caused by ammonia liquid that is difficult to deal with in time when the oil is discharged. The pressure drop pipe of the oil collector should be connected to the air return pipe of the compressor to prevent liquid return from the compressor when the pressure is reduced to recover the refrigerant.
⑧The emergency ammonia release device should be installed where it is easy to operate. During installation, the diameters of the liquid inlet, water inlet and discharge pipes of the ammonia release device should not be smaller than the pipe diameters on the equipment, and the lower part of the discharge pipe should be directly connected to the drain.

3. System blowdown, airtight test, vacuum test, ammonia filling test

1Purging and blowdown

1. Dry compressed air or nitrogen with a pressure of 0.5-0.6Mp (gauge pressure) should be used to repeatedly purge according to the system sequence, and a sewage outlet should be set at the lowest point of the equipment or pipeline to discharge sewage, and a target inspection should be set until there is no dirt. .
2. After the system is purged and cleaned, the valves that may accumulate dirt should be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled.

2Airtight test

Use dry air or nitrogen, the high pressure side should be 1.8Mp, and the medium and low pressure side should be 1.2Mp.
Steps:
① Check the correct installation of pressure gauges for high pressure and low pressure;
② Close all valves connected to the atmosphere; fully open other valves, force open solenoid valves, thermal expansion valves, etc
.; Valve, raise the pressure to 0.5Mp; ④Leak
detection, repair welding and fastening under pressure are not allowed ; ⑤Respectively
keep high and low pressure for 24 hours, △P is not greater than 1% of the test pressure.

⑥ Venting.

3vacuum experiment

Vacuum pumps are used, and compressors are strictly prohibited.
When the residual pressure of the system is less than 5.33Kpa (gauge pressure is about -0.096MPa), keep the pressure for 24 hours;

4Ammonia flushing experiment

After the vacuum test, for the ammonia refrigeration system, a small amount of ammonia should be filled into the system by using the vacuum degree of the system; when the pressure in the system rises to 0.1-0.2MPa (gauge pressure), the ammonia filling should be stopped, and the system should be fully checked. Check for no leaks.
When it is found that there is a leak that needs to be repaired by welding, the ammonia gas in the repair section must be released and the atmosphere can be ventilated before proceeding.
4. The insulation thickness of pipes and equipment and the
thickness of the insulation layer of the painting refrigeration device. The calculation principle is to make the calculated thickness ensure that the temperature of the outer surface of the insulation layer is not lower than the dew point temperature under local conditions, so as to ensure heat insulation. The outer surface of the layer will not condense. The heat insulation structure for ordinary cold preservation is composed of five layers from the inside to the outside: anti-rust layer, heat insulation layer, moisture-proof layer, protective layer, anti-corrosion and identification layer.
