Dear colleagues
We are starting a overhauled GRAM HC 8 100 compressor for a block ice making plant. while starting we noticed that the oil pressure doesn't raise to common limit. we tried changing the oil pump which doesn't solve the issue.
I would like to know if anyone could help me on that.
I also want to know if anyone have service manual and troubleshooting docs.
any comment is appreciated.
Regards
12embo,
Check your email.
Did you change oil filter in crankcase with a new one?
Try adjusting oil pressure regulator
Are gauges accurate
Liquid in crankcase
Manual recommends minimum oil pressure trip switch set 2.5 bar
Oil pressure set 3 to 3.2 bar
Thanks for the manual pdf.
Filter has been changed.
Gauge cheked.
No liquid in crankcase and regulator doesn't work either.
Yesterday helping the docs u provide we followed the oil canals and find out that the seal side main bearing has been misplaced so the canal is not adjusted correctly and oil cannot trip from there.Quote:

Have to put down to experience, I guess.

can be blocked with old oil and kind of metal mud ...
have been there with another compressor ....
Misplaced bearing ... probably due to missing knowledge of the service shop
... reason ... probably very cheap offer for overhaul which can be very expensive later on ...
happen quite often with very cheap service ...
