Refrigerant Oil: Testing and Inspection
Contamination of Compressor Oil
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the compressor oil. Even if the compressor runs for a long period of time (approximately 1 season), the
oil never becomes contaminated as long as there is nothing wrong with the compressor or its method of use.
Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following conditions:
-
The capacity of the oil has increased.
-
The oil has changed color to red.
-
Foreign substances, metal powder, etc., are present in the oil.
If any of these conditions exists, compressor oil is contaminated. Whenever contaminated compressor oil is discovered, the receiver/drier must be
replaced.
