150 cc (5.0 fl oz) of oil is charged in compressor (service parts). So it is necessary to drain the proper amount of oil from the new compressor.
1. Perform oil return operation.
2. Discharge and recover the refrigerant and remove the compressor.
3. Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted oil.
4. Check the compressor oil for contamination.
5. Adjust the oil level as required.
6. Evacuate, charge and perform the oil return operation.
7. Check the system operation.
Oil Quantity For Used Compressor
Checking and Adjusting Oil Quantity for Used Compressor
1. Perform oil return operation.
2. Discharge and recover refrigerant and remove the compressor.
3. Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted oil with a measuring cylinder.
4. If the amount of oil drained is much less than 90 cc (3.0 fl. oz.), some refrigerant may have leaked out. Conduct a leak tests on the connections of
each system, and if necessary, repair or replace faulty parts.
5. Check the compressor oil contamination. (See below.)
