Commissioning. Add oil

and removal
Once the system is fully charged and a set of
controls, operation of the equipment in the
average boiling conditions. Compressor
level must then be checked.

All new compressors receive operating oil,

responsible for production, but it does not allow
the oil trapped in components and controls and
refrigerant. This is the reason why the oil level
should be checked and oil added to the system
during installation or commissioning.

Oil addition

Only brand and grade of oil specified by the

manufacturer of the compressor should be used.
Oil have unique characteristics for high
pressure, temperature and load, especially those
used for low temperatures.

Large compressors oil-level, pointing to the

inspection glass, located in the crankcase. If
compressors are used in parallel, sometimes sight
glass in the middle of the oil equalizer line.

During operation, the oil level in the crankcase can

fluctuate. It is generally recognized that the level
remains at one-third to half way up the glass
satisfactory.

Before any oil is added, the system should be fully

charged. This is especially important when the
compressor is above the level of the
The oil level should be reviewed once the system
has completed its initial pulldown, or worked for at
least two hours. If the sight glass indicates foaming,
make sure it's not the result of refrigerant
absorbed. Systems that have this condition are
likely to be equipped with crankcase heaters.

Oil can be added to the crankcase large

compressors, just pumping down and reduce the
pressure in the crankcase for oil to be poured out,
when the filler cap has been removed. However,
filler hole, usually small by some compressors
and oil pump can be used.

Too much oil in the crankcase can lead to damage

of the compressor through the creation of dynamic
pressure at work.

The procedure for adding oil will obviously vary

depending on the type of compressor

Charging pump and easy filling

Oil pump injection is similar to the cycle of the

pump and needs no explanation. The correct oil
level should be achieved, and reference should be
made to the manufacturer's data.

Sometimes it is enough to add oil to the

compressor until she runs out of the hole to fill; the
probe will be required for other types. In each case
the oil level is such that it is about 25 mm (1 inch)
below the crankshaft, bearings, or splashers
immerse in the oil, rotation of the shaft (Fig. 110).

Vacuum pump
When the compressor has a sight glass, it is a
simple task to add oil. The procedure is as follows
(Fig. 111):

1. Turning off the pump in the system to reduce the

pressure in the crankcase to 0.1 bar (1 psi) and front
seat of both the suction and discharge valve.
2. Remove the oil filler plug and install the charging
line, including valves and adapter to insert the filler
hole.
3. Place the free end of the charging line in capacity
with pure and uncontaminated oil from a sealed
can. Crack off the intake valve from the front seat
position and increasing the pressure in the
crankcase to 0.1 bar.

Open the shut-off valve slowly and clean the

charging line through the oil container. The front
seat of the intake valve.
4. Connect vacuum pump to the sensor Union
suction valve. 5 Switch on the vacuum pump and
reduce the pressure in the crankcase slightly below
atmospheric, that allows the oil to be drawn until
the desired level is reached.
6. Stop the vacuum pump, crack off the intake valve
from the front seat position, cleaning oil from
charging line and close the shut-off valve. Then the
front seat of the intake valve.
7. Remove the charging line and replace the oil
plug.
8. Fully back seat and cracked off service valves, or
install the operating position.
9 checking the tightness of the compressor.
10 Start the system and allow it to settle in average
operating conditions. echeck oil level.

When charging the oil, make sure the charging line

is always below the oil level in the container.

Compressor charging

When the compressor design is such that the

strainer and oil return into the Carter showed oil
can be added through the intake valve pressure
gauge Union the same way as described above, but
use a pump to create a vacuum instead of a vacuum
pump (Fig. 112).

Draining the oil in the compressor

This may be necessary when there is too much oil

has been added, when the maintenance contracts
allow for periodic oil change, or when the system
has been contaminated.

Assuming that the compressor does not have oil

drain installation and removal of base plate or plate
clarifier or economically unreasonable, two simple
methods that can be adopted.

Vacuum method

This requires an airtight container or preferably a

graduated cylinder so that the number of oil
removed can be measured and the exact amount
replace.

Pulling a vacuum container or cylinder, the oil will

be removed from the compressor
(Fig. 113). During this process, the compressor
should be isolated from the system with the front
seat of the service valve.

System pressure method

With a length of tubing and the adapter is equipped

with a hole to fill after the pressure in the crankcase
is reduced, and both valve front seated, creating a
positive pressure in the crankcase the peel inlet
valve from the front seat position (Fig. 114).
Provided tube reaches the bottom of the crankcase
or sump oil will be forced out of the compressor
and the container.
Correcting the oil level

Pressure above method can be used to reduce the

oil level in the crankcase in case of overload. By
installing the adapter tube that ends at the right
level below crankshaft oil will be forced out of the
compressor crankcase pressure but only until the
oil level reaches the end of the tube.
