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 />

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.
