Compressor Replacement After a Motor Burn 

In  the  case  of  a  motor  burn,  the  majority  of 
contaminated oil will be removed with the compressor. 
The  rest  of  the  oil  is  cleaned  with  the  use  of  suction 
and  liquid  line  filter  driers.  A  100%  activated  alumina 
suction  filter  drier  is  recommended  but  must  be 
removed  after  72  hours.  See 

AE24-1105

  for  clean  up 

procedures  and 

AE11-1297

  for  liquid  line  filter-drier 

recommendations. 

NOTICE

 

It 

is 

highly 

recommended  that  the  suction  accumulator  be 
replaced if the system contains one.

 This is because 

the  accumulator  oil  return  orifice  or  screen  may  be 
plugged  with  debris  or  may  become  plugged  shortly 
after a compressor failure. This will result in starvation 
of  oil  to  the  replacement  compressor  and  a  second 
failure. 

 

Start-Up of a New or Replacement Compressor 

It  is  good  service  practice,  when  charging  a  system 
with  a  scroll  compressor,  to  charge  liquid  refrigerant 
into the high side only. It is not good practice to dump 
liquid  refrigerant  from  a  refrigerant  cylinder  into  the 
crankcase  of  a  stationary  compressor.  If  additional 
charge is required, charge liquid into the low side of the 
system  with  the  compressor  operating. 

CAUTION

 

Do 

not  start  the  compressor  while  the  system  is  in  a 
deep  vacuum. 

Internal  arcing  may  occur  when  any 

type  of  compressor  is  started  in  a  vacuum. 

NOTICE 

Do  not  operate  the  compressor  without  enough 
system  charge  to  maintain  at  least  55  psig  (3.8 
bar)  suction  pressure.  Do  not  operate  with  a 
restricted  suction  or  liquid  line.  Do  not  operate 
with  the  low  pressure  cut-out  disabled.

  Allowing 

suction  pressure  to  drop  below  55  psig  (3.8  bar)  for 
more  than  a  few  seconds  may  overheat  the  scrolls 
and cause early drive bearing damage. Never install a 
system  in  the  field  and  leave  it  unattended  with  no 
charge,  a  holding  charge,  or  with  the  service  valves 
closed  without  securely  locking  out  the  system.  This 
will  prevent  unauthorized  personnel  from  accidentally 
ruining  the  compressor  by  operating  with  no 
refrigerant flow.
