Dear fellows:
I found an old Mitusbishi ductless split system not cooling today: itīs so old that the capacity label is still in btuh (24,000 btuh)!! After a few minutes I discovered that I had a burnout piston-type compressor case in my hands. I suggested a compressor replacement, an offer that was accepted by the owner. The problem is that the local spare parts supplier only has Tecumseh rotary type compressors: those with a welded suction accumulator on them. Capacity seems to be the same, but is there any reason for not replacing a piston-type compressor with a rotary one in these ductless systems?
