oil compressor problem
I have a chilling unit with compressor Frascold type V 30 84 Y and i have low oil pressure problem all oil drwon to the discharge line. I need any one to help me to solve this problem , I fill the copressor with oil up to the leve 3/4 of sight glass but all oil drwon after run compressor to the discharge line, I open the cover of the suction and delivery valves and I found a too mach oil.
Is the piston ring worn out?

Re: oil compressor problem
Do a pump down test to check if your discharge valves are OK

Re: oil compressor problem
On a small system you should not need to add additional oil to the amount recommended by the compressor manufacturer.
On larger systems it is normal to add additional oil to compensate for the oil that moves around the system.

Ok, I have to tell you more information in this circuit there is no oil sapreater. Is it necessary to install oil sapreter

Re: oil compressor problem
It depends on the size of the system

Re: oil compressor problem
Hi Alamda.
I would suggest that the abnormal (I assume the amount of oil being dumped system side is abnormal?) oil carry over is very likely to be the result of wear internally within the compressor.
The Rings, Valves and Springs are a good place to start.
These comps are usually highly reliable, so ever mechanical wear or failure would be a good assumption.
When a recip has worn piston rings and liners (or even broken rings) they become a very efficient oil pump!
When you had the heads off did you check the sump for debris or metallic particles within the oil.
An oil sample analysis may prove useful.
Some recips have bypass valves within the head / liners, if relevant this could have an issue?
Good luck GrizzlyLast edited by Grizzly; 20-06-2014 at 07:06 AM.

Does your system short cycle? If so, check out this link.

Re: oil compressor problem
lose of oil have a lots reason.
rings
valve plates
high temp. of oil
oil type
foaming of oil in starting time.
wrong piping slop in suction line also u trap
blocking oil return from oil separator
