Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair
A new compressor is supplied filled with a full charge of (X cubic cm) of refrigerant oil.
A new compressor is supplied with an oil fill (X cm) of 120 cubic cm.
A calculated quantity of oil must be drained from the new compressor before fitting. To calculate the quantity of oil to be drained:
1
Remove the drain plug from the old compressor.
2
Invert the compressor and gravity drain the oil into a calibrated measuring cylinder. Rotate the compressor clutch to ensure the compressor is
completely drained.
3
Note the quantity of oil drained (Y cubic cm).
4
Calculate the quantity of oil to be drained from the new compressor using the following formula:
X. cubic cm - (Y cubic cm + 20 cubic cm) Q cubic cm
5
Remove the drain plug from the new compressor and drain Q cubic cm of oil.
6
Fit and tighten the compressor drain plug.
