As the title suggests working on a small 2 Kw water sourced heat pump.
The process stub has been rubbing on the compressor capacitor cable and had worn through the cable shroud causing it to arc on the process stub and burn a pin hole in it.
Result no refrigerant and a locked rotor on the compressor.
After removing the compressor and reverse valve I noticed mint green oil coming from the pipework!!
This is the first time anyone has worked on the system, garuntee labels stopping you taking the compressor panel proved that.
Can anyone through any ideas in why the oil is green?
