This product is hygroscopic. Containers should remain
tightly sealed in a clean and dry environment to prevent
moisture absorption from the air.
This oil (part number PP-23-BZ-104) may be ordered from
your local Carrier represesentative.
Oil Separator Coalescer
FRAME 1 AND 2 MACHINES — The oil separator coa-
lescing element is replaceable and has an estimated life of
15 years. Proper maintenance procedures require the coa-
lescer to be changed approximately 100 hours after a major
compressor teardown or machine overhaul.
FRAME 4 MACHINES — Frame 4 machines do not have
a replaceable oil coalescer.
Refrigerant Filter/Drier — A refrigerant filter/drier, lo-
cated on the motor cooling line should be changed once a
year, or as necessary, if filter condition indicates a need for
less or more frequent replacement. Change the filter with the
machine pressure at 0 psig (0 kPa) by transferring the re-
frigerant to the condenser vessel, (if isolation valves are present)
or a storage tank. A moisture indicator (dry eye) sight glass
is located beyond this filter to indicate the volume of mois-
ture in the refrigerant. If the moisture indicator indicates mois-
ture, locate the source of water immediately by performing
a thorough leak check.
Refrigerant Strainers (Frame 1 and 2 Machines
Only) —
The oil reclaim system has two strainers. One is
located on the eductor suction line, and one on the con-
denser gas line. Replace these strainers once per year, or as
necessary if strainer condition indicates a need for less or
more frequent replacement. Change these strainers with the
cooler/compressor vessel at 0 psig (0 kPa) by transferring
the refrigerant charge to a storage vessel or the condenser.
Inspect Refrigerant Float System — Perform in-
spection every 5 years, if required, or when the machine is
opened for service.
Transfer the refrigerant into the cooler vessel (if isolation
valves are present) or into a storage tank. Remove the float
access cover. Clean the chamber and valve assembly thor-
oughly. Be sure that the valve moves freely. Ensure that all
openings are free of obstructions. Examine the cover gasket
and replace if necessary.
Inspect Relief Valves and Piping — The relief valves
on this machine protect the system against the potentially
dangerous effects of overpressure. To ensure against dam-
age to the equipment and possible injury to personnel, these
devices must be kept in peak operating condition.
As a minimum, the following maintenance is required.
1. At least once a year, disconnect the vent piping at the
valve outlet and carefully inspect the valve body and mecha-
nism for any evidence of internal corrosion or rust, dirt,
scale, leakage, etc.
2. If corrosion or foreign material is found, do not attempt
to repair or recondition. Replace the valve.
3. If the machine is installed in a corrosive atmosphere or
the relief valves are vented into a corrosive atmosphere,
make valve inspections at more frequent intervals.
Compressor Bearing Maintenance — The key to
good bearing maintenance is proper lubrication. Use the proper
grade of oil, maintained at recommended level, temperature,
and pressure. Inspect the lubrication system regularly and
thoroughly.
Excessive bearing wear can be detected through in-
creased vibration. If this symptom appears, contact an ex-
perienced and responsible service organization to perform
vibration analysis on the compressor.
Compressor Rotor Check — Use Carrier specified
oil. Excessive compressor rotor wear is shown by a lack of
performance. If a lack of performance is noted, have the com-
pressor rotors inspected by a trained service person.
The rotors can be visually inspected once every 5 to
10 years or as needed depending on machine operating
conditions.
Inspect the Heat Exchanger Tubes
COOLER — Inspect and clean the cooler tubes at the end of
the first operating season. Because these tubes have internal
ridges, a rotary-type tube cleaning system is necessary to fully
clean the tubes. Upon inspection, the tube condition will de-
termine the scheduled frequency for cleaning, and will in-
dicate whether water treatment is adequate in the chilled water/
brine circuit. Inspect the entering and leaving chilled water
temperature sensors for signs of corrosion or scale. Replace
the sensor if corroded or remove any scale if found.
CONDENSER — Since this water circuit is usually an open-
type system, the tubes may be subject to contamination and
scale. Clean the condenser tubes with a rotary tube cleaning
system at least once per year and more often if the water is
contaminated. Inspect the entering and leaving condenser wa-
ter sensors for signs of corrosion or scale. Replace the sen-
sor if corroded or remove any scale if found.
Higher than normal condenser pressures, together with the
inability to reach full refrigeration load, usually indicate dirty
tubes or air in the machine. If the refrigeration log indicates
a rise above normal condenser pressures, check the con-
denser refrigerant temperature against the leaving condenser
water temperature. If this reading is more than what the de-
sign difference is supposed to be, then the condenser tubes
may be dirty or water flow may be incorrect. Because HCFC-22
and HFC-134a are high-pressure refrigerants, air usually does
not enter the machine; instead the refrigerant leaks out.
During the tube cleaning process, use brushes especially
designed to avoid scraping and scratching the tube wall. Con-
tact your Carrier representative to obtain these brushes. Do
not use wire brushes.
