Trane ERTHA300
About six months ago I replaced an unloader piston seal on one of three units on a site...complete stripdown was required and Trane were involved with the project from the word go.
On the same machine I now have an oil diff tripping problem..I first changed the filter but the problem persists...I notice that after about a minute of running (the oil switch is timed on startup) that the separator sump gets very cold as do the oil pipes...I have contacted Trane and the only common cause of carrying liquid over on these machines would normally be either overcharged (The charge was weighed into this machine) or low evaporator water flow...(the flow is fine and matches the other two units on site which run well).
I am wondering if the unloader piston seal has had a catastrophic failure allowing the full bore pipe of oil to bypass the seal and go straight into the suction side(where it would bleed slowly to when unloading normally)...would this chill down the whole oil sump in a short time????....on the last try I gave it I turned the controller switch to load and left it there.....there was NO increase in machine amps at all over the total run time of say two minutes....has anyone else had a problem similar to this????
Not getting wiser at the same rate as I am getting older??

Hi
Check the oil pressure drop across the filter & check that the oil pressure switch is closing on start up

Re: Trane ERTHA300
What are chilled and cooling water temperatures during start up?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Re: Trane ERTHA300
hi does your head pressure control work?
off hand it seems like u have a leek in oil pressure that would cause this trip .
if this problem did not occur before u are right to zero in on the seal ofc the unloader system .
if u are not able to load the comp manualy u deffinatly have a proble with oil pressure reaching the slide valve or the seal on the valve is broken ,u also might have an obstruction in the oil pass not letting oil into the loader u should check this attached article should shed some light on your problem

Re: Trane ERTHA300
VALVE TAKE CHARGE AND DISCHARGE OF A FILTER BRONZE sometimes obstruct, CHECK TO OPEN THE CONTACTS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH OIL, OIL PRESSURE MEASURED OUTPUT FILTER WING AND UPPER WINGS NEAR COMPRESSOR LOAD SOLENOID , CHECK THAT IS NOT SOME CAPILLARY DUCT
