  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 1 - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS & DATASECTION 1 - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS & DATAGeneralAriel compressors are designed for ease of operation and maintenance. Experience has shown that an Ariel compressor will normally provide years of satisfactory performance with minimal proper maintenance.

    While Ariel compressors share many similarities, each model has aspects that are unique to the particular type. If you, as an operator, are familiar with Ariel compressors, it is still impor-tant to review this manual to determine the differences. If you are new to Ariel compressors, it is critical that you become very familiar with this manual prior to operating the compressor.

    This manual is designed to provide information on installation, start up, operation and main-tenance of a JGZ or JGU compressor. If you have any questions please contact your pack-ager. If they are unable to provide resolution, they will refer your concerns to Ariel Corporation. If you prefer, you may always contact Ariel directly1.

    This manual provides design specifications for standard current production equipment at publication date. Do not exceed information plates ratings for a particular compressor.

    The location of the throws and the data shown on the Information Plates is very important when communicating questions concerning an Ariel compressor.

    Opposed Throw - Reciprocating Weight BalancingAriel recommends that the reciprocating weight differential between opposing throws be 5.0 pounds (2.3 kg) or less for JGZ and JGU compressors.

    If replacing any major reciprocating component, that is; a connecting rod assembly, piston, piston & rod assembly, crosshead-balance nuts or crosshead, weigh component parts on a calibrated scale to 0.1 pounds (0.05 kg), record values for future reference and compare to the Compressor Balancing Record sheet that comes in the parts manual with each compres-sor. If there are weight changes, recalculate opposing throw reciprocating weight differentials1. If not within the recommended limit, new balance nuts and/or crossheads are to be selected to provide the least possible differential.

    If it is desirable to exchange opposing throw compressor cylinder locations1, all reciprocat-ing components must be exchanged to the opposite throw, except the connecting rod assemblies. Check the Balancing Record sheet and recalculate reciprocating weight differ-ential, with the connecting rod weights included. If not within the recommended limit, new balance nuts are to be selected to provide the least possible differential.

    If opposing throws can not be balanced within the recommended reciprocating weight differ-ential limit, contact your packager and/or Ariel1. When applying or re-applying a different cyl-inder to a throw1, the opposing throw reciprocating weight differential must be re-calculated

    1. Contact your Packager or the Ariel Response Center for detailed information. Refer to the last page of this manual for Ariel contact information.7/09 PAGE 1 - 1

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 1 - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS & DATAand new balance nuts or crossheads may be required. The force feed oil distribution system may also need to be resized.

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 1 - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS & DATATightening Torque ProceduresListed below are some procedures which make fastener tightening more accurate and will help to be sure that the proper torque is being applied.

    1. Be sure that the torque wrench is properly calibrated and used by qualified person-nel to achieve the required fastener tightening torque for all critical parts.

    2. Always check to determine over what range the torque wrench is accurate, since most torque wrenches are not accurate over their entire range.

    3. Tighten all multi-bolt assemblies in steps (need not apply to Grade 5 cap screws). Tighten each cap screw until snug using an alternating (criss-cross) pattern, refer to Figure 5-49 on page 5-60 for typical pattern sequence. Next, tighten each cap screw to 25% of full torque, moving across from cap screw to cap screw, in an alter-nating (criss-cross) pattern. Repeat this step for 50%, 75%, and 100% of full torque.

    a. For Prevailing-Torque Lock Nuts, use Column 40 on page 3 or 4 in the Tool Box Torque Chart (ER-63).

    b. 12 Point Cap Screw Center Fasteners in Valve Assemblies not marked SPL (Spiralock Threads), must be cleaned with Loctite Safety Solvent and locked with one or two drops of Loctite #272 thread locking compound. Do not use petroleum lubricants.

    c. 12 Point Cap Screws in Valve Assemblies with Spiralock Threads and marked SPL (see Figure 1-10) are lubricated, both threads and seating surfaces, with a petroleum type lubricant only.

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 1 - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS & DATARepeat the 100% step until there is no fastener rotation. On rod packing fasteners, wait a few minutes, before repeating the 100% step to accommodate for any gasket deformation.

    4. Always apply a steady slow force to a torque wrench, and stop force immediately when click is felt, do not jerk the wrench. When a torque wrench is jerked the amount of torque applied can be as much as one and a half times the amount set on the wrench. For example, if a wrench is set at 80 lb x ft (108 Nm) but is jerked, 120 lb x ft (163 Nm) torque can be applied.

    5. Always do the final tightening with a torque wrench. Do not tighten the fastener with a ratchet or impact wrench and then "check" the torque with a torque wrench.

    6. Do not double tap a torque wrench. Rapidly double tapping a torque wrench will make the torque on the cap screw more than what is set by a significant amount.

    7. When checking a tightened fastener torque, set torque wrench to proper required torque value, slowly apply a steady force to torque wrench until click is felt.

    8. Always reset the torque wrench to its lowest setting when the job is complete. If the torque wrench is left in a high setting the spring in it is stressed and will become inaccurate with time. If the torque wrench is put back to its lowest setting the spring will relax and retain its accuracy.

    9. Do not use a torque wrench to break fasteners loose as it may overload the torque wrench and/or cause loss of calibration.

    10. For applications requiring the use of a boxed end or crowfoot adapter with a torque wrench to reach not readily accessible fasteners, the torque wrench setting will not be the actual torque applied to the fastener.1

    11. The ratio of actual torque at the fastener with that on the wrench scale is a function of the adapter's length (A) and its position in relation to the torque wrench beam and the location where the force is applied (see Figure 1-11).

    Tw = Torque wrench setting, lb x ft or Nm

    Ta = Torque required at fastener, lb x ft or Nm

    L = Length of wrench, ft or m (from square drive end to center point of force on handle)

    A = Length of adapter, ft or m (measured through end of adapter on a line parallel to the center line of the wrench)

    These are general guidelines to assist in the proper use of torque wrenches. Con-sult with your torque wrench dealer for more detailed information.

    1. The exception is when the adapter is 90 to the torque wrench. The torque will be the same as on the wrench scale (see Figure 1-12).

When connected to the proper electronics, the resistance is interpreted as temperature. When RTDs are ordered for the main bearings, Ariel supplies dual-element RTD instrument assemblies, consisting of two RTDs in each instrument for each main bearing. Each element is a three-wire, 100 ohms (at 0C), Alpha = 0.00385 ohms/ohm/C, platinum thin film type sensors.

    Dual element RTDs are provided to allow for rewiring instead of replacing the sensor in the event of an element failure. The advantage of the dual-element RTD assembly is that the redundancy saves time by allowing the operator an opportunity to restore bearing temperature monitoring without entering the crankcase for each RTD failure.

    Wire: The dual element RTDs use 24 AWG (American Wire Gage) instrumentation wire from the junction box mounted on the side of the compressor frame to the sensor wiring. An RTD three wire set may be wired using a two, three, or four wire system. More wires increases accuracy. Ariel recommends using standard foil shielded instrumentation cable runs from the compressor frame to the control panel. Shields should be grounded in the control panel.

    Sensor Accuracy: 100 + 0.12 ohms at 0C = 1.1F (0.6C), or 0.6 percent.

    Terminals: Can use any standard terminals.

    For each instrument, a single RTD three-wire set is used to connect to the monitoring circuit. If the connected RTD fails, it can be disconnected and the remaining RTD three-wire set can be used to connect to the circuit. Unused wire ends should be insulated from each other and conduit ground.

    RTD's are furnished with two red wires and one white wire for the one element, and two black wires and one green wire for the other element to simplify the wiring requirements.

    Main Bearing Temperature Alarm and Shutdown Limits

    One of the following, minimum, is to be provided for main bearing temperature alarm and shutdown to Ariel compressors:

    1. Main bearing temperature high alarm and shutdown. - The alarm and shutdown should be set as close as practical above the normal operating temperature. Ariel recommends 20F (12C) over normal operating temperature for alarm and 30F (18C) for shutdown. Maximum values of 220F (104C) for alarm and 230F (110C) for shutdown apply. Normal operating temperature is the

    2. High main bearing temperature differential alarm and shutdown. - Main bearing differential temperature is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum of all main bearing temperatures. Ariel recommends the alarm set to 20F (12C) and shutdown at 30F (18C), differential. It is possible after a warm shutdown that main bearing number 1 will cool faster than the others. Provisions should be made such that a cooler number 1 bearing will not prevent a restart.

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 2 - COMPRESSOR INSTALLATIONSECTION 2 - COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION

    GeneralThe installation of the compressor with the associated driver and piping, is to be done with care and precision. This section addresses some of the more critical installation consider-ations and requirements, but does not attempt to address all of the concerns that can arise.

    The Skid or PackageThe skid or package is to be manufactured and installed in conformance to Ariel Packagers Standards.

    Lifting the CompressorDetermine the weight of the compressor, prior to lifting. For an accurate value, see the Ariel Performance Program to determine frame and cylinder weights or for an approximate weight of the compressor with cylinders see Technical Manual Section 1, Frame Specifica-tions tables. Also account for any extra weight such as a flywheel, etc. Spreader bars should be used to provide for a more vertical pull on the eyebolts or lifting lugs. Be sure that the eyebolts or lifting lugs, lifting tackle, spreader bars and crane capacity are adequate and properly rigged for the load. Keep the compressor level when lifting and setting. Heavier cyl-inders and/or blank throws can significantly affect the center of gravity.

    Do not attempt lifting by hooking to a compressor when the compressor is attached to the skid, driver or piping. If you are not experienced in lifting large compressors, the use of qual-ified professional riggers/movers is recommended.

    On compressor frames designed for lifting lugs, install the lugs (4) with the proper Grade 8 cap screws and tighten to the torque value given in the Technical Manual Section 1 or the tool box torque chart (the ER-63 chart is also available electronically at the Ariel web site: www.arielcorp.com), for lifting the compressor. If lifting lugs are already installed, recheck fastener tightening torque. JGZ:U/4, KBB:V/4 and all 6-throw compressors have lifting lugs.

    When lifting a compressor not designed with lifting lugs, lift by the eyebolts installed by Ariel at the crosshead guides. Eyebolts installed in the crosshead guides by the Ariel Shop are locked with Loctite to help prevent them from turning. Inspect eyebolts to be sure they are free of any visual defects, such as bending, that could affect serviceability. Remove and physically destroy any defective eyebolts. Replacement eyebolts are to be forged steel and meet the requirements of ASME B18.15 latest edition (available at www.asme.org). Clean threads and install a replacement eyebolt with Loctite #262 (available at www.loctite.com) in the same orientation as original eyebolt. Allow Loctite to cure before using a replaced eye-bolt for lifting. For eyebolt load capacity rating and if pulling on an eyebolt in a direction other than along the threaded axis, consult ASME B18.15. 7/09 PAGE 2 - 1

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 2 - COMPRESSOR INSTALLATIONThe standard lifting lug and eyebolt materials can fail when subjected to shock loads at low ambient temperature conditions. Follow the guidelines in ASME B18.15. If deemed neces-sary by the customer or lifting professional, eyebolts may be replaced with forged eyebolts of materials more suitable for low temperatures, in accordance with ASME B18.15 and ASTM F541 (available at www.astm.org). Standard lifting lugs and bolting may also be replaced with materials more suitable for low temperatures. Contact Ariel for more informa-tion.

    Setting the CompressorThe following procedure is to be used for setting the compressor on the skid:

    1. Be sure the skid is level.2. Move the compressor into place on the skid. 3. Level stationary compressors to Table 2-1 on page 2-3 requirements. For com-

    pressors subject to transient motion on ships or offshore platforms, level com-pressors to table requirements when at rest. Be sure the pre-grout alignment is relatively close so that the equipment movement will be minimal and within the bolting, foot, push pads or grout box allowance.

    4. Grout as required and allow grout to set.With the compressor cylinders mounted but unsupported and with no piping or pulsationdamping bottles attached, tighten the frame foot hold down bolting to skid at full fastenertorque. Refer to Ariel ER-26, Appendix A in the Ariel Packagers Standards for proper framefoot torque values.

    Leveling Limits for CompressorsThe limits in Table 2-1 on page 2-3 assume that the running oil level is maintained between one half and two-thirds the height of the sight glass, except for dry sump compressors. Length leveling limits apply axially (parallel to crankshaft) and width limits apply horizontally (parallel to the piston rod) within the length and width of the frame.

    CAUTIONWHEN LIFTING A COMPRESSOR DESIGNED FOR LIFTINGLUGS, ONLY USE ARIEL PROVIDED OR APPROVED LUGS.BE SURE THE LUGS ARE HELD IN PLACE WITH THEPROPER GRADE OF CAP SCREWS, AND PROPERLYTIGHTENED. LIFTING CABLE SPREADERS ARE REQUIREDPERPENDICULAR TO CRANKSHAFT AXIS. BE SURE THECRANE CAPACITY IS ADEQUATE.

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 2 - COMPRESSOR INSTALLATIONAligning Main Bearing BoresTo maximize main bearing life expectancy and help avoid crankshaft failures, it is essential that compressor frames be installed and remain in position so that main bearing bores can be maintained in proper alignment. Ariel has established this procedure in an effort to facili-tate the proper installation of compressor frames and provide a means of periodic inspec-tion.

    1. The top cover mounting surface of an Ariel compressor frame is manufactured in a flat plane to a close tolerance. This surface is also held to a close tolerance with the main bearing bores and the bottom of the compressor feet. When the frame feet are supported so that the top-cover-mounting surface is flat "in plane", the main bearing bores are in alignment.

    2. Top-cover-mounting surface flatness or soft foot check may be used for frame sizes up to and including JGU:Z/2-throw frames to be sure main bearing bores are in proper alignment, except for the JGI which uses only soft foot.

    3. On JGU:Z:B:V:KBB:V/4-throw and /6-throw frames the top plane flatness and soft foot checks are both required to be sure the main bearing bores are in proper alignment.

    4. Measurements for flatness are to be taken on the top surface of both sides of the frame rails at each anchor bolt or for frames with pairs of anchor bolts between each pair of anchor bolts, with top covers and gaskets removed (see Figure 2-1). Readings between any two adjacent points are to be within 0.002 in. (0.05 mm). The total accumulated out of plane flatness for proper alignment is to be within the flatness tolerances listed in Table 2-2.

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 2 - COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION5. In preparation for frame plane measurements, be sure that the compressor frame hold down bolting is properly installed and tightened. Either remove or reposition the top cover(s) and gasket(s) to expose the frame's top-cover-mounting surface, be sure that the top-cover-mounting surface is clean. With new unit installations it is recommended that the frame plane be initially checked prior to the guide feet being shimmed and after the initial rough coupling align-ment. On compressors shipped disassembled, the initial check should be car-ried out prior to the guide & cylinder assemblies being installed. Take the appropriate corrective shimming, or other height adjustment, action to have the top-cover-mounting surface fall within the specified plane tolerance. Subsequent readings should be taken and recorded after the guides and cylinders have been fully installed and then again after any vessels have been installed and shimmed. Corrective action is to be taken if guide, cylinder and/or vessel instal-lation results in the frame top rail measurements not meeting the specified toler-ances

    6. Refer to Ariel ER-26, Appendix A in the Ariel Packagers Standards for proper frame foot and crosshead guide bolt size and torque values.

    7. The top-cover-mounting surface should be measured for flatness and/or soft foot check be done as required:a.When setting a new compressor.b.After reinstalling a compressor frame.c.When loose hold down fasteners are found.

    racy of + 0.001 inches (+ 0.025 mm) over the required distance to measure the entire length of both frame rails.

    9. To check soft foot, the compressor frame hold down bolting is to be properly installed and tightened. Loosen each hold down bolt individually while checking the frame foot to skid deflection with a calibrated dial indicator. Correct any hold down position that deflects more than 0.002 inches (0.05 mm) when released. Re-torque the hold down bolt and repeat at each frame to skid bolt.

    Setting Crosshead GuidesWith crosshead guides and cylinders unsupported, prior to bottle installation:

    1. Measure the clearances between each crosshead guide foot and the guide sup-port. Except for JGZ:U and KBB:V frames when equipped with long two com-partment (L2) crosshead guides, measure clearance at the outboard feet under the guide extension, which are used to support the guide and the feet under the guide are to be unsupported.

    2. Completely fill the clearances with shim stock (reference Figure 2-2). 3. Tighten the crosshead guide foot (or long two compartment guide extension

    foot) to guide support hold-down bolting to full fastener torque. Refer to Ariel ER-26.

    4. Loosen the bolting while checking with a dial indicator to be sure that the clear-ance is completely filled and there is no deflection.

    5. Using the information from the current Ariel Performance Program, determine the estimated crosshead guide foot deflection for JGH:E:K:T:C:D:Z:U:KBB:V frames. This calculated value is required to compensate for the deflection or droop of the cantilevered weight of the guide and cylinder. For the JG:A:M:N:P:Q:R:W:J frames, the guide and cylinder weights are not sufficient to deflect the guide.

    6. Lift or jack cylinder, just slightly to allow insertion of additional shims based on the calculated value.

    7. Re-tighten the crosshead guide hold down bolting to full fastener torque. 8. Repeat for each crosshead guide support.9. Shims may need to be adjusted so that the crosshead to guide top and bottom

    clearances, and piston rod run-out measurements are within the tolerance requirements. Reference Section 5 for checking crosshead clearances and pis-ton rod run-out, and Section 1 for tolerance limits.7/09 PAGE 2 - 5

  • FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 2 - COMPRESSOR INSTALLATIONFor some applications, head-end cylinder supports may be desirable for larger classes of cylinders (bosses and tapped holes are provided on all K:T:C:D:Z:U:B:V class cylinders). See Ariel cylinder outline drawings for dimensional details. These supports must be adjusted and set when the components are at operating temperature.

    Setting - Miscellaneous1. Reference Technical Manual Section 4 for protection of electronic equipment

    when arc welding.2. Comply with the Ariel Start Up Check List, see Technical Manual Section 3.

    Alignment - to DriverProper alignment to the driver is necessary for satisfactory performance. A flexible coupling will not make up for poor alignment. Misalignment can result in:

    High bending moment on the crankshaft. Large axial forces. Excessive bearing wear. And if severe, probable damage to various components.

    Procedural Requirements for Aligning a unit:
