Replace a Failed Compressor

System Operation, Testing and Maintenance

Proper procedures to remove and replace the failed compressor are:

1.Disconnect power

2.Attach suction and discharge gauges to access fittings.

3.Recover refrigerant using standard recovery procedures and equipment. Use a filter-drier when charging the system with recovered refrigerant.

NOTE

Release of refrigerant to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and unlawful. Refrigerant must be recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

4.Remove failed compressor.

5.Install replacement compressor and make all connections. Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation of copper oxide scale inside the piping. Copper oxide forms when copper is heated in the presence of air. POE oil will dissolve these oxides from inside the copper pipes and deposit them throughout the system, clogging filter driers and affecting other system components.

A pure dry nitrogen flow of 1-3 ft3/min (0.5-1.5 l/s) inside the pipe during brazing is sufficient to displace the air. Control the flow using a suitable metering device.Pressurize and leak test the system at approximately 150 psig (1034kPa) pressure.

6.Follow manufacturer's instructions for clean out kits.

7.Evacuate the system twice to 250 microns. Break the vacuum each time with clean, dry nitrogen.

8.Evacuate the system a third time to 250 microns.

9.Charge the system with refrigerant (R-407C) based on requirements of the evaporator, condensing unit and lines. Refer to the unit nameplate.

10.Apply power and operate the system. Check for proper operation. Refer to Table 23.
