Broken compressor

a good engineer would have got that running again till the new one arrived ;-)

No problem with that: when I arrived, it was running really smooth, no vibration at all, (very) low discharge temperatures, low discharge pressures, AMPS low, so... why in fact looking at it ?
So.. am i a good engineer now?
It was running this way for some days.

It was due to a sump full of WD40 that it was running that smooth.

Sure I have WD40: a good friend of me is working at the sole Belgium importer of that stuff.
Ever tried this ? Spray WD40 on the thread of a light bulb, screw it in the socket, put in the wall socket and immerse the bulb completely under water. Light will light under water and normally, no safety device will trip at all.
Try at your own risk but that's the way he always impresses customers.

A bit off topic here, but I have cleaned up enough gummed-up sliding doors on deli cases, roller tracks on reach-in doors, etc. that I am not a big fan of the stuff. I carry food-grade silicone spray and teflon spray lube, both excellent DRY lubes that will not attract dust and turn into a gummy mess. I carry "liquid wrench" for loosening stuck/rusted screws & bolts and turbine oil for lubricating motors.

But thanks for the info. If I ever need to do some underwater illumination, it sounds like just the thing! Maybe all those people electrocuted by hair dryers in the bath should be giving the things a good spray with ol' WD40 before jumping in the tub!

INOX, any of you guys other then aussies heard of inox? its based on lanolin and made in australia - i prefer it to a can of wd40, seems thinner and gets into all those nice rusted nuts and bolts good, available in a bottle or pressure spray can like wd40. also great for bearings frees them up a treat compared to wd which makes them feel binding through the tacky oil.

not suitable to sliders etc as Rog approach is still the best for those applications.
