    Have you tried contacting Mycom direct through their website -

    1000 hours check the oil
    10000 hours major overhaul

    In one year, a plant working 24/7 adds up 8700 hours.
    I can't possibly tell any customer that the compressor he/she bought has to be rebuilt while warranty is still pending.

    Hi Nick

    service intervals given here are common to all manufacturers

    Most compressors that are worked hard run 5000 to 6000 hours a year

    What this equates to is a top end inspsection every year (valves checked) these may be replaced or allowed to run another year dependant on wear and hours run. The next year the piston rings and valve plate will usually be changed and the third year the bearings will be replaced.

    You can let them run until something smashes, but that is not preventative maintenance, anyone can change the oil and let it run

    You may get 30000 hours out of a set of main bearings, but all you are doing is shortening the life of the compressor shaft, which is the most expensive part.

    These are high tolerance high effeciency compressors, unlike the commercial semi compressors, which sacrifice the effeciency for longevity

    A semi will run for years at high speed on the original bearings, but the energy consumed would be much much greater than any industrial compressor, the chaep compressor is the high tolerance high effeciency compressor that has to be maintained on a on going basis, the real enviromentally friendly option

    Kind Regards Andy
    If you can't fix it leave it that no one else will:rolleyes:

    No, they are not. Bitzer do not want the oil to be replaced EVER on the screw semis range.

    We've got scrolls from copeland running 8000 a year in CCUs.

    And this is a nonsense. Please let me know a single industrial plant who can accept an offline of one day for programmed preventive maintenance of the cooling system. Not in the UK. I've got a number of plants with our chillers and the customer would not stop them even for replacing a single contactor.

    Nonsense in a teapot. It takes less time to replace a compressor than overhaul it.

    Yeah, sure. At least this is the spam what they tend to feed us with.

    Maybe on ***** plants, but with ammonia we have to change oil filters every 3 months and oil each year(Bitzer screw). That plant is new one (2 years old) installed to liquify CO2 in one brewery.

    For how many years?

    Until is broken, what then?

    What about compressors with input power on shaft of 200-355 kW?

    Industrial compressors are running 20-30 or more years with proper maintenance. I am living witness

    Many years ago I have been told (by people from Stal-Astra Sweden) you can build only two types of refrigeration plants:

    1. Cheap plant without maintenance usually with short life - expensive

    2. Expensive plant with maintenance to assure long life - cheap

    Hope other guys will come with comments too

    Proper industrial users have standby plant just for maintenance, they can't afford not to have

    Mycom are now using a hitachi scroll with aluminum windings on Ammonia, we will see how this goes

    Nonsense in a teapot
    try replacing a 8WB Mycom in the time it takes to do an overhaul, well you probably could but it would take a crane to do so, bit of a nonsense really

    You have hit the nail on the head, this short service interval is whay recips died out for a few years. The reason they are now popular is the screws have poor part load effeciencies

    When you take into account the seasonal EER the recip wins hands down.

    We sell a range of packaged chillers, but we also seel ammonia chillers with water cooled condensers and flooded chillers, for people who care how much electric they are using and what effect this has on the enviroment

    At least they should have one backup. Ordinary reality is much sadder than that.

    It all depends on proper chiller design. For our air cooled and water cooled, compressors are replaced and restarted in less than 6 hours.
    Overhauling (on-site or off-site) is a matter of days.

    Well, you may be well right, BUT! ST microelectronics in Milan runs a plant with a total overall power consumption of over 100MW. Would you reckon what difference few dozens kWh per year makes?

    Definitely.
