    That is when having a valve as a low loss fitting works great. Because you can close off the valves and you will not pull in any air from your hoses. But that is tough not introducing air into the system

    Than you for the video sir. I have a ice plant of 1TPD. Here the oil pressed is decreasing day by day 40 psig to 10 psid respect to suction pressure after that the compressor triped. I have already repaired the compressor after repairing the diffraction between suction and oil was 40 psig it was perfect. After 60 days the pressure difference come to 10 again teipping starts. How to fix the flood back probelm even super hit also adjusted?

  • @AirConAcademy

    2 жыл бұрын

    I am not sure I totally understand. You do need to check and adjust your superheat. With superheat you will not have flood back. You also need to make sure that you have enough pressure difference between your high and low side pressure. If you do not have enough pressure difference your oil is not going to come back which means that your oil pressure will drop. If you're having a problem with oil returning check your pressures. If you have enough oil and it is not building up pressure it could be like you said flood back. Or maybe a bad oil pressure switch or a bad oil pump. With the little information that I have it is hard to diagnose properly. But check those things that I mentioned above.

    So at PDP, it's 100% vapor (0% liquid). Through the spring and summer season (and the equipment is in tip-top shape), does the compressor ever receive any liquid (e.g. 0.001% liquid) at all?

    Very good question! If we have superheat the compressor will not have liquid come to it. That is why in class I always tell the guys make sure after you hook up gauges you check your superheat. Superheat will tell you what is going on in the system and you also need to check the sub cooling. Liquid should not be coming back over to the compressor! Thank you for your question!

    @@AirConAcademy so when the fluid goes back into the compressor, do we say it's "saturated" vapor or "superheated" vapor? I heard people uses the term "saturated" vapor, but saturation means that there two things/phases in a mix. Superheated vapor means to me that it's just vapor, no liquid. may be I'm not understanding the different terminologies being use

    @@profuse007 saturated means that it is a mixture of liquid and vapor. When refrigerant comes back to the compressor it needs to be low pressure superheated vapor. The refrigerant in the evaporator, the first 3/4 or so of the evaporator will be saturated and then in the last quarter or so the refrigerant Will start to superheat so that it is super heated when he gets to the compressor. I believe I have a video that talks about this. Take a look and if you have other questions let me know.

If you do not have enough refrigerant in the evaporator your superheat will increase and possibly allowing the compressor to have a high temperature which could cause the compressor to go out on internal overload. That is why it is important to always check the superheat. And always know what the manufacturer suggest what the superheat should be. I hope this helps!

    2 жыл бұрын

    @@vahagnmelikyan2906 I am not sure at the moment if I have a video that explains the metering devices. To know if you have enough refrigerant in the system you first need to know what type of metering device you have.. If you have a TXV that will maintain constant superheat so you must have a good amount of subcooling. A good amount could be considered between 10 to 20° of subcooling. If you have a fixed type metering device like a capillary tube or a piston/fixed bore then you would need to charge it according to the superheat. Typically in class I tell everyone 8 to 12° of superheat is a good rule of thumb. I hope this helps. Just remember if it is a package unit then you would want to charge it by weight. Which means that you would have to look at the model number of the unit and download some information on the unit to see how much refrigerant you should add. But when you charge by weight the unit must be empty and you must have had a good vacuum on it meaning 500 µm before you add the suggested amount of refrigerant by the manufacture specs I hope this answers your question. If you still have questions please let me know! Good luck out there!
