Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair

OIL

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor

The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when replacing any component or after a large

If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
-

Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor

-

Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
