12-4 Check D
D1. Activate Protection logic
- We have to check Condenser fan and Freezer fan before performing Check D
- Locked Piston, Current trip and stroke trip can be activated by other problems then the driver or compressor.
Cycle check with protection logic
High Pressure
Side
Restricted
→
When process line on compressor is opened, and refrigerant is not expelled
because it has accumulated in condenser.
→
If fault is corrected after refrigerant is recaptured from sealed system, change
dryer.
→
Low side restriction can cause a stroke trip.
→
If fault is corrected after refrigerant is recaptured, perform a sealed
system evacuation and dryer replacement.
→
Check Suction line
→
If refrigerant is overcharged and suction line temperature is lower
than ambient temperature (about 5~10 degrees) or frost is present
150mm from where the suction line enters the compressor..
→
Customer complains of longer run times and poor cooling performance.
→
Lack of refrigerant can, in some incidents, cause piston over travel.
→
Pressure of refrigerant cycle is usually higher than ambient pressure,
therefore oil will flow out with the refrigerant at leak point.
→
Temp. of compressor and discharge line is normal to slightly higher.
High side pressure is normal to slightly higher than normal
conditions. This is because condenser cannot condense the air
that is trapped in the condenser. The high side pressure and
temperature will not mimic the low side pressures and
temperatures.
