    Drain the separator & pre-charge ester oil as marked on oil separator. Besides, while system operates with ester oil ,change the oil one more time . This would remove left over mineral oil .

    Hi there! I am replacing my old copeland compressor model KALB-015E with KALB-015L. They have the same power supply. What would be the differenc if the other one is "Less Oil" (code L)? Should I add oil to it? Thanks!

    Just verify the Specs of both the models. I think the oil qty. Of both the models are same.

    Thanks for the reply. I already compared the two compressors and almost all details are the same. Thanks again!

    it's always better to clean the whole circuit and remove 100% of MO, so you can gon to the refrigerant you want.
