compressor overheating
hi
i have crafft window type air conditioner 24000 btu capacity
it was leaking from service valve
so i degas it
then checked for leaks
and charged it
it works properly
and cooling perfectly
but the compressor is overheating
DSC_2251.jpg
i checked the temperature of
discharge line = 70 C
suction line = 19 C
compressor top cover = 73 C
current = 14 amp
volltage 210 volt
so where is the problem

Re: compressor overheating
Which refrigerant u r using ?? check the suction & discharge pressure's... How u calculated the length and size of capillary ?

Re: compressor overheating
I see no problems with those temperatures.
Also, what type of compressor is it?Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: compressor overheating
You dont tell us all parameters
InDoor temperature
OutDoor temperature
Airflow
SH
if something block air flow or you have jamed air filter)

Re: compressor overheating
Hi Kefah
Your suction superheat is excessive - 19degC @ 65psi. Current seems a little high - what is the current rated at? Did you charge it by weight with a set of accurate scales or by system pressures. Is it cutting out on a thermal safety because it looks like and old rotary (rotary's run hot). The way it was charged will help with the solution and the current rating. Sorry I don't have a btu converter.

Re: compressor overheating
Hi kefah, your compressor is rotary. Rotary compressors have designed to work 100c to 120c.73c is normal.

Re: compressor overheating
indoor 40 c
outdoor 50 c
I think its not good... Indoor temperature too high, i dont know TROPIC edition unit or not, but indoor too high.Last edited by RusBuka; 01-05-2013 at 10:06 AM.

Re: compressor overheating
Hi Kefah
Moideen has given temps for comp. Why do you think the compressor is overheating?. Will it pull the room down to a reasonable temp or is it cutting out on a compressor thermal safety (klixon)? there may be no problem apart from a high initial load for the unit.

Re: compressor overheating
Compressor case temperature is within limits.
System can only be analysed when it had reached design conditions, during pulldown readings will often appear strange.
Also, have a read of this....

Re: compressor overheating
dear Kifah,, I think there is nothing wrong with your unit. it is running with normal conditions. do not worry, rotary comp.s usually run hot
