After all the precautionary measures have been taken, the unit can be started as follows:
1. Turn on the seal buffering gas (if applicable)
2. Start the main lube oil pump for prefabrication. Prelube compressor approx. One hour at initial start and for 10 minutes after each shutdown and at each subsequent start. Start pressure gauges and sight glasses for oil flow.
3. Turn on the cooling water so that a steady continuous supply flows into the unit
4. Check all valves external to the machine for proper adjustment
5. Bar unit over using strap wrench.
6. Make sure process shut off valve and bypass valve is open. Start the driver in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and bring unit up to speed. Gradually choke down on bypass valve and bring unit up to pressure over a period of approx. 15 min.
7. Check all lube oil pressure gauges and sight flow indicators to see that the machine is being properly lubricated. Also observe temp. Gauges.
8. Observe the action of the machine to make sure there is no undue vibration or noise.
9. Check auxiliary equipment. Be sure the unit is not operating beyond the rating stamped on the nameplate
10. In the event of an emergency shutdown while unit is operating, do not attempt to restart compressor until it bars over freely.
