How to fix Inficon Test Equipment Vortex Dual when it will not turn on?

  Jimmy JordanAug 3, 2025
  If your Inficon Test Equipment Vortex Dual won't turn on and the compressor isn't starting, here's what you can check: 1. Make sure the power cord is securely attached. 2. Verify that there is voltage at the receptacle. 3. Check if the circuit breaker has opened; if so, identify the cause, fix it, and then reset the breaker. 4. If the discharge pressure is too high, rotate V2 to the Purge position, then back to Recovery to reduce the pressure. 5. If none of these steps work, it may be an electronics failure in the motor, requiring factory service.

Why does my Inficon Test Equipment compressor stop intermittently?
- K
  Katherine SanchezAug 27, 2025
  If the compressor on your Inficon Test Equipment stops intermittently, it might be due to: * Vapor pressure of refrigerant in tank is close to HP trip point: Reduce tank temperature. * Thermal overload switch in compressor is activating: Reduce the amount of liquid being pumped and let the machine cool before proceeding.
