Catastrophic compressor failure...need info

[Segei]

Because of the forum/group I was provided with some pertinent info. I went back and I did verify that the low pressure receiver was equipped with a high and low level float. These float switches are connected to magnetic level indicators - that in turn will trigger a cut out and shut down the compressors - which in turn will shut down the entire system.

Hey I just thought of another question that your group probabily has an opinion about:

How much ice build-up is too much build-up? I have been using the rather arbitrary number of an inch of ice or more is getting excessive. Please feel comfortable to disagree with this number...Thanks again

I don't think that low level should shut off the plant. Low level should shut off the pumps.
