[When replacing normal as well as faulty compressor] - applicable to MMY-
MAP0724HT6UL
<Dismantling normal compressor>
• Dismantle the normal compressor in the same way as the faulty compressor.
WARNING
When detaching a pipe by heating with a burner a welded joint, take care as any oil left in the piping may burn in a
momentary flash of fire when the weld filler metal melts.
<Measuring amount of oil in normal compressor>
• As was the case with the faulty compressor, measure the amount of oil contained by placing the compressor on
a scale.
Amount of oil in normal compressor: B [gal (cc)] = (Weight of compressor as it was dismantled (lb (kg)) - 50.0
(22.7) × 0.1249 (1042) (Specific volume of oil: 0.1249 (1042) [gal/lb (cc/kg)])
Note:
• When a compressor is empty, it weighs 50.0 lb (22.7 kg).
<Adjusting amount of oil in new compressors>
• Perform the adjustment on the basis of how much oil the faulty compressor contained, A [gal (cc)], and how much
oil the normal compressor contained, B [gal (cc)], by following the steps below.
1 Combined amount of oil in faulty and normal compressors A+B [gal (cc)]: 0 A+B < 0.528 (2000)
(1) Adjust the amount of oil in the two new compressors to 0.264 (1000) each (total 0.528 (2000)).
• Lay the compressors down and draw 0.238 (900) [gal (cc)] of oil from each of them via their oil equalization pipes.
Notes:
• Do not draw more than 0.238 (900) [gal (cc)] of oil from a compressor as it may cause damage.
• If the faulty compressor contained 0.132 (500) [gal (cc)] or less, there may have been a problem with the oil
equalization circuit, etc. Perform checks in accordance with “12-3. Check procedure to search cause of
compressor oil shortage”.
2 Combined amount of oil in faulty and normal compressors
A+B [gal (cc)]: 0.528 (2000) A+B < 1.004 (3800)
(1) Adjust the amount of oil in the two new compressors to (A+B)/2 [gal (cc)] each.
• Lay the compressors down and draw [1.004 (3800) - (A+B)]/2 [gal (cc)] of oil from
each of them via their oil equalization pipes.
3 Combined amount of oil in faulty and normal compressors
A+B [gal (cc)]: 1.004 (3800) A+B
(1) Adjust the amount of oil in the two new compressors to (A+B)/2 [gal (cc)] each.
(Insert a hose into the discharge pipe or oil equalization pipe of each
compressor and inject (A+B)/2 - 0.502 (1900) [gal (cc)] of oil using a funnel, etc.)
