Hi All,

I have been experiencing a string of very abnormal compressor failures. Photos attached.

To date two out of eight compressors have failed with a life of 4 years, another is showing a noise resembling weld partially broken creating a vibration/rattle.
The chillers are operating perfectly confirming no flood back or oil issues. Compressors are mounted on correct rubber mounts. However the internal scroll bracket welds appear to be failing, one compressor at a time needing to be replaced.

Has anyone seen this issue before? If so any ideas of cause?
I believe the issue is a poor quality weld from the manufacturing process, as the compressor itself is spotless for faults.
