| Oil change | typically every 4,000-8,000 running hours, or per oil analysis recommendation, whichever comes first |
|---|---|
| Oil filter renewal | every 2,000-4,000 running hours |
| Valve plate inspection/overhaul | typically every 8,000-12,000 running hours depending on duty and refrigerant - confirm against Sabroe's schedule for the SMC 108 S |
| Safety device (HP/LP cutout, oil pressure) function test | every 6-12 months |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Cylinder bore wear/ovality | assessed against Sabroe's own maximum oversize/rebore limit for this 100 mm bore class - confirm the current limit in the SMC series service manual before deciding to rebore |
|---|---|
| Piston ring end gap | typically in the order of 0.3-0.6 mm per 100 mm of bore for reciprocating refrigeration compressors of this class - confirm against Sabroe's own tolerance table for the SMC 108 S |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Refrigeration compressors on cargo or provisions duty are subject to periodic survey of safety devices (HP/LP cutouts, relief valves); for ammonia systems, class pays particular attention to gas detection and emergency shutdown. Overhaul records and relief valve test/renewal status are expected.
Estimated lifetime: major overhaul (valve plates, rings, bearings) typically falls due in the 8,000-15,000 running hour range depending on refrigerant and duty; with proper maintenance the compressor block commonly remains in service 20+ years - confirm against Sabroe's own service schedule
