Hi there,
I'm looking for some guidance as I'm replacing expansion valve on a Thermocold chiller with a Frascold recip compressor which has not been run for over a year as client did not want to spend.
Not having a problem with expansion valve replacement as such, but rather I have noticed the oil level in compressor is below sight glass (approx 1.5cm )
I recovered full charge from system so suspect the oil is in the system but GUESSING oil return problem due to faulty expansion valve?
Any suggestions from the experts appreciated, I'm thinking add oil to compressor and monitor level once system running and remove if necessary, but I do have to justify my actions!
Thanks for reading.
