Replacing
criteria when
abnormal
1. suction and discharge pressure
2. Oil level (check the oil quantity through Oil sight glass)
3. Sound (any abnormal sound exists)
4. Check the motor overload protector (trip or not, reset if any and check the reason of trip)
5. Discharge superheat degree of compressor (The discharge superheat of R22 chiller shall be larger than 10 °C; the discharge superheat of R134a chiller
shall be larger than 5°C and the discharge superheat of R410A chiller shall be larger than 7 °C)
1. Color of compressor oil (new oil is clean and the dark brown or cloudy oil shall be replaced; the compressor shall be overhauled when the oil turns dark)
2. Check the color of the sight glass on the liquid supply pipe (yellow indicates that the water content of refrigerant is out of limits; Heating : the liquid supply
pipe is filled with refrigerant liquid and has no bubble , Cooling: there has no bubble or little bubble at the normal condition)
3. Check any leakage of the refrigerant circuit (check any oil strain or leakage around the pipeline)
4. Check the differential oil pressure (The difference between high pressure and oil pressure shall not exceed 1.5 bar during operation, or the oil filter shall
be replaced)
