Re: Compressor Pump Down ---> PROCEDURE
:o Hi All,
Many thanks to those of you who have CONSTRUCTIVELY participated in this THREAD! I realize some of my questions and comments have been simplistic, and, I appreciate your POSITIVE indulgence.
:rolleyes: My research has led to the adoption of the following procedure:
1. Check that both SUCTION & DISCHARGE SERVICE VALVES are back-seated and connect service gauges.
2. Close (front-seat) the SUCTION SERVICE VALVE.
3. Jumper the LP switch.
4. Run the compressor until a slight vacuum is achieved on the SUCTION side of the compressor head.
5. Front-seat the DISCHARGE SERVICE VALVE.
6. Equalize the HP/LP pressures through the gauge manifold (center gauge line capped).
7. Replace the combination LP/HP switch.
8. Crack open the SUCTION SERVICE VALVE and purge the compressor head through the gauge manifold (center line open).
9. Backseat both SERVICE VALVES and remove the gauges.
10. Run the compressor.

And still he gets it wrong :mad:
Kettler after ALL OF YOUR SARCASTIC comments aimed at people who are concerned for your safety and the environment you still do it wrong, I am amazed:eek:
Re-read your list above and tell us ALL why you performed No. 8 instead of doing it properly.

First off, I made no sarcastic comments. It was YOU folks who used my inexperience and simple questions to validate yourselves by shamming me.
Second, step 8 is intended to purge the air from the compressor head, and, was given to me by someone else on this thread.
I actually purged the air from the head using an R22 bottle. I fed the refrigerant through the suction service valve access port and bled it out from the discharge service valve access port.
:mad: What kind of people are YOU? I thought this was a dignified website!
Do you conduct business in the manner I experienced? Very poor.
:cool: I think you people are the amatures!
