Trane RAUC-C20, RAUC-C50, RAUC-C30, RAUC-C60 manual Compressor Oil, Pressure Control Switch Settings

System Start-Up

14.Turn the 115-volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “OFF” position and open the field provided or optional factory mounted disconnect switch.

15.After shutting the system off, check the compressor oil appearance. Discoloration of the oil indicates that an abnormal condition has occurred. If the oil is dark and smells burnt, it has overheated because of: compressor is operating at extremely high condensing temperatures; high superheat; a compressor mechanical failure; or, occurrence of a motor burnout.

If the oil is black and contains metal flakes, a mechanical failure has occurred. This symptom is often accompanied by a high compressor amperage draw.

If a motor burnout is suspected, use an acid test kit to check the condition of the oil. Test results will indicate an acid level exceeding 0.05 mg KOH/g if a burnout occurred.

Compressor Oil

The scroll compressor uses Trane OIL-42 without substitution. The appropriate oil charge for a 9 and 10 Ton scroll compressor is 8.5 pints. For a 14 and 15 Ton scroll compressor, use 13.8 pints.

Compressor Crankcase Heaters

9 and 10 ton scroll compressors have a 100-watt heater installed. 14 and 15 ton scroll compressors have two 80-watt heaters installed per compressor.
