(1) Capacitor
The life of the capacitor is greatly affected by ambient temperature and operating
conditions. The capacitor will reach the end of its life in 10 years of continuous
operation in a normal air-conditioned environment.
(2) Bearing
Replace the bearings using 20,000 to 30,000 hours under rated speed as a
guideline. This number is affected by operating conditions. Bearings must also be
replaced if unusual noise or vibrations are discovered during inspection.
