11.1.6 Compressor Vibration and Temperature Monitoring

X and Y proximity probes are mounted in the compressor driven and non-driven
bearings. These probes are monitored continuously by the control system. Alarm and
shutdown levels are set to protect the compressor from excessive vibration levels. Axial
probes are also provided for position monitoring (except C505J).
Resistance temperature devices (RTDs) are mounted in the compressor bearing drains
(except for the C505J model) and thrust bearing. Alarm and shutdown levels are set to
protect the compressor bearings from excessive temperature levels.
