Component Operation and Maintenance

Electrical Failure

An electrical failure will be indicated by a distinct pungent odor. If a severe burnout has occurred, the oil will be black and acidic.

In the event that there is an electrical failure and a complete burnout of the refrigeration compressor motor, the proper procedures must be performed in order to clean the system to remove any acids that would cause a future failure.

! CAUTION

Damage to a replacement compressor caused by improper system cleaning constitutes abuse under the terms of the warranty, and the WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.

There are two kits that can be used with a complete compressor burnout - Sporlan System Cleaner and Alco Dri-Kleener. Follow the manufacturer's procedure.

! CAUTION

Avoid touching or contacting the gas and oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Use long rubber gloves in handling contaminated parts.

Compressor Replacement Procedure

Replacement compressors are available from your Liebert supplier. They will be shipped in a reusable crate to the job site as required by the service contractor.

Upon shipping a replacement compressor, the service contractor will be billed in full for the compres- sor until the replacement has been returned to the factory.

The compressor should be returned in the same container used for shipping to the job. The possible damage causes or conditions that were found should be recorded by marking the compressor return tag.

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.

! CAUTION

Do not loosen any refrigeration or electrical connections before relieving pressure.

NOTE

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

4.Front seat service valves to isolate the compressor. Reclaim charge from compressor.

5.Remove service valves, pressure switch capillaries, and disconnect all electrical connections.

6.Remove failed compressor.

! CAUTION

A scroll compressor must rotate in the proper direction. Record compressor motor connections when removing failed compressor. Wire the replacement compressor motor the same way to maintain proper rotation direction.

7.Install replacement compressor and make all connections.

8.Pressurize and leak test the system at approximately 150 PSIG (1034 kPa) pressure.

9.Follow manufacturer's instructions for clean-out kits.

10.Follow charging instructions as stated in the installation manual, Liebert part number SL-11925.
