Hi all,
Just hoping someone could shed some more light on the situation im facing. We did a compressor change about 6 months ago to a (HGX6/1080-4) Bock compressor all has been fine since it is 1 off 3 in a low temp rack. Got a call out the other morning as the oil safety had tripped. Checked oil level all was fine checked the oil pressure that was fine everything seemed to be working fine i reset it and it all got up and worked fine no problems at all.
The next morning woke up to the alarm going again. Went in to find same compressor out on an oil fault. Oil level threw sight glass was fine but no oil pressure. I thought the strainer had some how got some **** in it so check it and it was clean as a whistle same with the oil. Vacced out system and filled with oil and then started up compressor again. Still no oil pressure
The suction is sitting around 85kpa and the oil pressure is sitting around 100 kpa.
2 other compressors are running fine and are managing to keep up with the demand which is good.
Is there something i haven't checked that could be causing this fault? There is next to no flood back. Years ago when we took over the store the comps had huge flood back issues and have never had this problem so i dont see how it could be that.
The trax oil is working fine and the compressor has heaps of oil.
Im going out of my mind here as everyone i have asked has said that the oil pumps never fail just wondering if anyone has any help they could shoot me.
Thank you so much for your time
