Description: The KC series industrial refrigeration compressors are suitable for use
with R717 (Ammonia), R22 & HFC refrigerants. These reciprocating compressors of
modular Construction having 2 to 12 cylinders are available in single stage & two
stage versions. It is a heavy-duty compressor, which can run round the clock
continuously.
Applications:
KC Reciprocating Compressors are most suitable for industrial refrigeration & low
temperature applications. They are designed to operate with ammonia, halocarbons,
& other HFC refrigerants. Ideally suitable for continuous duty, process refrigeration,
liquefaction plants, ice plants, cold storage etc
All welded steel construction, built-in unloaded starting device & safeguard against
incidental liquid hammer are salient features of these compressors.
More than 15,000 KC Compressors have been operating satisfactorily in India &
Abroad.
Features:
WELDED STEEL CRANKCASE
Apart from being low in weight & ensuring rapid heat dissipation, the crankcase is
absolutely gas tight & impact proof. The smooth internal surfaces of the
compressors guarantee the good condition of oil. Every attention has been given
for quiet running & low noise of compressor.
PISTON/CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLY
The light Aluminum alloy piston is fitted with three compression piston rings & two
oil scraper rings for perfect sealing & low oil consumption. S.G. Iron connecting rod
is drilled through for pressure lubrication of the piston pin. It has steel backed,
white metal shells on its big end and bronze bearing on its small end. The complete
assembly can be removed from the top for servicing without withdrawing the
cylinder liner.
CRANKSHAFT & MAIN BEARINGS
The bearing surfaces of S. G. Iron crankshaft are ground to fine tolerances. The
main bearings are white metal lined, steel backed bushes pressed into the cast iron
bearing covers. Intermediate bearing blocks are provided with split type bearing
shells of the same type. Each crankshaft is dynamically balanced together with the
counterweights.
CYLINDERS AND SUCTION VALVE LIFTING
The interchangeable cylinder liners are made of fine- grained, centrifugal cast alloy
iron. Fine boring and honing result in a mirror- smooth running surface. Loading or
unloading of the cylinders is achieved by a hydraulic mechanical suction valve
lifting mechanism on each individual cylinder for unloading; the suction valve ring
is lifted from its seat in the cylinder collar by spring tension. Loading of the cylinder
is effected by admitting control oil pressure to the control piston, allowing the
suction valve ring to descend on its seat.
OIL PUMP & FILTERS
The single gear pump, driven directly by the crankshaft, incorporates a differential
pressure regulator to provide separate pressures for two oil systems : lubrication
system & control oil system. The pump also includes an automatically operating
hydraulic delay valve, ensuring complete unloaded start. A metal gauze suction
filter & a throwaway paper discharge filter cartridge are provided for extreme
filtering capacity of lubricating oil.
SUCTION / DISCHARGE VALVE ASSEMBLY
Three concentric discharge valve rings with sinusoidal ring springs are used. This
ensures ample gas passage at low lifting height. These together with precision
machined and lapped surfaces, result in a trouble-free operation for remarkably
long time.
