Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Valve plate wear or breakage causing reduced capacity and abnormal knocking
  • Crankcase oil carryover into the refrigerant circuit, reducing heat exchanger efficiency
  • Shaft seal leakage - a known wear item on reciprocating ammonia compressors
  • Liquid slugging from a flooded start or poor suction superheat control, damaging valves or pistons
  • Capacity control (unloader) malfunction affecting part-load operation
  • Bearing wear from inadequate lubrication or oil degradation
  • High discharge temperature from low suction superheat, worn valves or a fouled condenser

Inspection checklist

  • Check crankcase oil level and condition, including ammonia dilution
  • Check discharge and suction valve plates at scheduled opening for wear or breakage
  • Check shaft seal for leakage or weeping
  • Check capacity control (unloader) function across load steps
  • Monitor discharge temperature and pressure trend against baseline
  • Check safety/relief valve setting and test date
  • Inspect coupling/drive alignment
  • Check vibration levels at running speed
  • Verify oil separator function and oil return

Service intervals

Oil change/analysiscommonly every 2,000-4,000 running hours or annually - confirm against maker manual
Valve plate inspectionat scheduled opening, typically every 8,000-12,000 h depending on duty
Shaft seal renewalon evidence of leakage beyond the allowable limit, or at major overhaul
Safety/relief valve testannually, per class/flag requirement for pressure vessels and refrigeration systems
Ammonia leak detection system checkcommonly a monthly function test, per class/statutory requirement

Typical wear limits

Shaft seal leakageany continuous weeping beyond the maker's allowable drip rate calls for seal renewal - confirm against maker limit
Valve plate wearno generic figure - assess against the maker's inspection criteria at each opening

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Suction and discharge valve plate sets
  • Shaft seal (mechanical seal) kit
  • Gasket/O-ring set for cylinder head and crankcase
  • Unloader/capacity control components
  • Oil filter elements
  • Pre-set spare safety relief valve

Safety

  • Ammonia (R717) is toxic and flammable in certain concentrations - full PPE including gas-tight suit and breathing apparatus is required for refrigerant-side work
  • Confirm the machinery space ammonia detection/alarm is functional before entering the compressor room
  • Isolate and pump down high-pressure refrigerant lines before opening any joint
  • Electrically isolate and de-energise the crankcase heater before internal work
  • Emergency ammonia shower/eyewash and escape routes must be accessible and unobstructed

Class survey

Ammonia refrigeration compressors of this type typically fall within the scope of the vessel's refrigeration plant survey; class wants records of scheduled valve/seal maintenance, current safety/relief valve test certificates, and evidence that ammonia detection and emergency systems are tested per the statutory schedule.

Estimated lifetime: Major overhaul (valve plates, seals) is commonly due in the order of 8,000-12,000 running hours depending on duty and refrigerant handling practice - treat as a planning guide, not a fixed limit.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
