Why is the discharge pressure high on my Daikin Chiller?
- S
  Sheila FarleyAug 21, 2025
  High discharge pressure in your Daikin Chiller can stem from several issues. Noncondensables might be present in the system, requiring extraction using approved procedures. The system could be overcharged with refrigerant, necessitating removal of the excess and a check of liquid subcooling. Ensure the optional discharge shutoff valve is fully open. Verify that the FanTrol wiring is correct and that the fan is running by checking its electrical circuit and motor. A dirty condenser coil can also cause this issue, so clean it thoroughly. Finally, correct any air recirculation problems.

Why is my Daikin AGZ 130D Chiller compressor noisy or vibrating?
- H
  Heidi HamptonAug 23, 2025
  If your Daikin Chiller compressor is making excessive noise or vibrating, start by checking the refrigerant charge, as low or no refrigerant can cause this. Ensure the compressor is running in the correct direction by verifying the unit and compressor phasing. Inspect the piping support on both the suction and discharge lines, relocating, adding, or removing hangers as needed. Finally, examine the compressor isolator bushings for wear and replace if necessary, and consider whether the compressor itself is worn, potentially requiring replacement.

What causes high suction pressure in Daikin Chiller?
- T
  Tara ReynoldsAug 28, 2025
  High suction pressure in a Daikin Chiller may result from several causes. Check the control settings to ensure the water temperature isn't excessively high. An excessive load on the system can also lead to this issue; reduce the load or add additional equipment. If the expansion valve is overfeeding, inspect the remote bulb and regulate the superheat. Lastly, verify that the compressors are running in the correct direction by checking for proper phasing.

What to do if Daikin AGZ 130D Chiller compressor oil level is too high or too low?
- M
  Monica FrazierAug 31, 2025
  If the oil level in your Daikin Chiller compressor is too high or too low, consider these potential causes. Oil may be hanging up in the piping, so review the refrigerant piping and correct as necessary. If the oil level is genuinely low, check for leaks and add oil. Inspect the oil line fittings for looseness and tighten them. If the level is too high, adjust the thermal expansion valve. Insufficient water flow can also cause a high oil level, so adjust the flow. Excessive liquid in the crankcase can also elevate the oil level; check the crankcase heater, reset the expansion valve for higher superheat, and verify the liquid line solenoid valve operation. Short cycling can also affect oil levels; stabilize the load or increase the staging interval.

What to do if the Daikin AGZ 130D Chiller discharge pressure is low?
- A
  Andrew SummersSep 2, 2025
  Low discharge pressure in a Daikin Chiller can be caused by several factors. Refrigerant flood back is one possibility, requiring correction. If wind is blowing directly into the coil at low ambient temperatures, shield the coil or install wind guards. A faulty condenser temperature regulation system should be checked for proper operation. Insufficient refrigerant in the system can also cause this; check for leaks, repair them, and add charge. Additionally, low suction pressure and only one compressor operating can contribute to low discharge pressure.

Why is my Daikin AGZ 130D compressor losing oil?
- M
  Madison EricksonSep 5, 2025
  If your Daikin Chiller compressor is losing oil, start by checking for refrigerant leaks and repairing them, then add refrigerant as needed. Also, check if the suction superheat is too high and adjust it accordingly. Finally, inspect the crankcase heater for burnout and replace it if necessary.

What to do if Daikin AGZ 130D Chiller compressor will not stage up?
- K
  Kathleen RodriguezSep 7, 2025
  If your Daikin Chiller compressor isn't staging up, the issue might stem from a defective capacity control, which would need replacement. Alternatively, there could be a faulty thermostat stage or a broken wire, also requiring replacement. Finally, ensure that the stages are correctly set for the specific application by resetting the thermostat settings.

Why are the motor overload relays or circuit breakers open on my Daikin AGZ 130D?
- B
  Brady HarringtonSep 10, 2025
  If the motor overload relays or circuit breakers in your Daikin Chiller are opening, it could be due to low voltage during high load conditions; check the supply voltage for excessive line drop. Defective or grounded wiring in the motor can also cause this, necessitating replacement of the compressor motor. Inspect for loose power wiring or burnt contactors, tightening all connections. Also, high condenser temperature and a power line fault causing unbalanced voltage can trigger this issue.

What causes the compressor thermal protection switch to open on a Daikin AGZ 130D?
- A
  Andre AustinSep 12, 2025
  If the compressor thermal protection switch on your Daikin Chiller is open, it could be due to operating beyond design conditions, requiring additional facilities to bring conditions within allowable limits. A partially shut discharge valve can also cause this, so ensure it's fully open. Additionally, a blown compressor internal gasket, voltage range issues or imbalance, high superheat, or compressor bearing failure can trigger this switch.
