What an idea to drain the oil from hermatic compressor .

[Shibhrac]

When it comes to drain the oil from hermatic compressor i noticed that many suggested drilling a hole in the bottom of the compressor's crankcase. I wonder how this silly idea will work .i would advice those who wanted to drain the oil or replace it not to follow this silly ideas. replacing or draining the oil should be made in a save manner to the technicin, equipment,and to the environment.

Then show us how.
Don't forget, word is about hermetic rotary compressor with suction accumulator attached.

I think that people were referring to draining the oil prior to disposing of the compressor !

you can simply turn it over so the oil will drain frm the suction pipe!

Only if the pipe terminates at the compressor case wall.

make an entrance on the suction side by way of a "T" welded in between. make the suction pipe side ways en weld a valve on the other end. make it so that it is possible to enter the pipe whit a small tube connected to a manual oil pump.

works fine for me.
