Interval and running time
Check List
1. Pressure (Discharge and suction)
2. Oil level (Confirm that oil is present in the oil sight
glass.)
3.Noise (Is any abnormal noise heard?)
4. Check fan breakers (If they trip, find out cause and reset.)
5. Suction superheat and discharge superheat (Suction superheat should be higher than 2
C
and discharge superheat should be higher than 10
C
.)
1. The color of refrigerant oil (New oil is clean. If the oil color shows puce or muddy, it is necessary to change the oil. If the oil color shows black, it is necessary to check the oil filter in
compressor.)
2. Check the liquid level and the color of the sight glass (If the test paper turns yellow, it means that water content in refrigerant is over standard. Normally, there is few bubbles in cooling
mode.)
3. Check leakage in the refrigerant circle (is there oil around the pipes or any noise of leaking?)
4. Check the oil pressure drop (the difference between discharge pressure and oil pressure should be less than 2.5 bar, otherwise it is necessary to check the compressor.)
Replace it if any abnormal operation (sound,
vibration) or debris
particle is found during the inspection.
Replace it if any chip, crack or similar is
found during the inspection.
Replace it if any insulation resistance is
abnormal during the inspection.
Replace it if any insulation resistance is
abnormal during the inspection.
Demister (in the oil separator)
Replace it if the differential pressure
exceeds 0.5bar during operation.
Replace it if the differential pressure
exceeds 2.5bar during operation.
Water side
heat
exchanger
Replace it if any leakage, heat exchange
pipe broken or the pressure difference more
than 1.5bar at rated volume of water.
Check the pressure difference
between inlet and outlet pipe (at
rated flow, less than 1.0 bar)
Fin (Remove surface dust, and tease
fins, then observer the condition of
corrosion after
removing dust.)
Replace the coil if more than 1/3 of fin or
heat exchange pipe are abnormal.
Heat exchange pipe, header,
distribution pipe

whether exist
broken or flat
)
Motor, fan insulation resistant, fan
blade distortion
)
Replace motor if any insulation resistance is
abnormal.
Replace fan blade if any distortion.
