Oil Washing out of compressor
Hi all,
I have some compressors having the oil wash out of the compressor and then the compressor seizing up. It is on static cooling (non forced air) it has a condenser with fan but frozen shelves.
unit is on r290 and it has a danfoss compressor on, they doesnt seam to be much sub cooling and the compressor does get really, also the drier gets really hot when the ambiant is only around 18oc
hello its me

Re: Oil Washing out of compressor
Are the shelves supposed to be iced up? Is the compressor rated for low back pressure? Is your condenser spotless with fans running at full speed? is condensing unit outside or internal? Any pressures/temps?
Mostly found in the southern part of this green and pleasant land.

Re: Oil Washing out of compressor
Has the suction line been oil trapped or had a suction accumulator fitted. Is the condensing unit above or below the evaporator and how long is the suction
Line?
