RXF ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSOR UNITS<br />

MAINTENANCE<br />

TROUBLESHOOTING THE COMPRESSOR<br />

SYMpTON pROBABLE CAUSES and CORRECTIONS<br />

EXCESSIVE NOISE and<br />

VIBRATION<br />

Loose bolts on compressor mounting. Tighten bolts.<br />

No oil getting to compressor. Check oil level, oil filter and oil pressure.<br />

Bearing damage or excessive wear.<br />

Coupling loose on shaft. Tighten coupling. Replace if damaged.<br />

Volumizer not adjusted correctly. Readjust.<br />

Refrigerant flood-back. Correct system problem.<br />

TROUBLESHOOTING THE OIL SEPARATOR<br />

070.410-IOM (JUL 11)<br />

Page 35<br />

SYMpTON pROBABLE CAUSES and CORRECTIONS<br />

GRADUAL OIL LOSS WITH AN Maintaining too high an oil level. Lower level.<br />

OIL LEVEL IN THE COALESCER<br />

SECTION SIGHT GLASS<br />

Refrigerant carryover or liquid injection overfeeding. Correct operation.<br />

Contaminated oil or damaged coalescer filter elements. Replace oil charge and coalescers.<br />

Coalescers may be loose. Tighten.<br />

Oil return valve closed. Open return valve.<br />

Return oil strainer blocked. Clean strainer.<br />

RAPID LOSS WITH NO OIL<br />

LEVEL IN THE COALESCER<br />

SECTION SIGHT GLASS<br />

Compressor unit suction check valve did not close on shutdown. Repair valve.<br />

Bypass open around suction check valve. Close bypass valve.<br />

Bypass valve opened too far. Tighten<br />

Coalescer filter elements not seated properly. Replace oil charge and coalescers.<br />

Oil viscosity too low. Verify correct oil, replace if incorrect.<br />

High system CFM. System operating out of design conditions (High suction and Low discharge<br />

pressures).<br />

Refrigerant flood-back. Correct system problem.<br />

Two or more compressors piped to a single economizer vapor port. Verify check valves are in<br />

working order.<br />

TROUBLESHOOTING THE LIQUID INJECTION OIL COOLING SYSTEM<br />

SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSES and CORRECTIONS<br />

HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE Insufficient liquid supply. Check receiver level. Check strainer.<br />

Suction superheat too high. Correct system problem.<br />

Liquid strainer blocked. Clean strainer.<br />

Operating conditions significantly different from design.<br />

Malfunctioning Vi Control Solenoids. See function check of the compressor<br />

"Volumizer II Vi Control" for further detail.<br />

Check motor valve operation and calibration.<br />

Check calibration of analog output.<br />

LOW OIL TEMPERATURE Equalizing pressure too low. Raise pressure.<br />

Suction superheat too low or refrigerant flood back on compressor. Correct system problem.<br />

Operating conditions significantly different from design.<br />

Check motor valve operation and calibration.<br />

Check calibration of analog output.<br />

OIL TEMPERATURE<br />

FLUCTUATES<br />

System conditions rapidly fluctuate causing liquid injection system to overrespond. Stabilize<br />

system operation.<br />

Check calibration and operation of motor valve - Adjust P & ID setpoints for analog output.
