Compressor Inspection Report PLQ

The compressor inspection report summarizes the findings from inspecting an HVAC compressor. Metal flakes and debris were found inside the oil sump and motor winding, indicating overheating. The piston head was scratched and damaged, and the connecting rod was broken. The crankshaft also showed rubbing marks and damage. The probable causes were identified as flooding or liquid slugging due to issues like low load, a dirty evaporator, or overcharging. Damaged parts like the connecting rod and bearings were recommended for replacement.

4. PROBABLE CAUSE
COMPRESSOR INSPECTION REPORT

[Link] CAUSE
[Link]
Flooding is liquid refrigerant entering the compressor’s crankcase while the compressor is running. Flooding
occurs to a compressor only during the on cycle.
Since liquid refrigerants are heavier than refrigeration oils, liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor will
settle under the oil in the bottom of the compressor’s crankcase. This liquid refrigerant will gradually be boiled
off from the low pressures in the crankcase. However, since the liquid refrigerant being boiled off is under the
oil in the crankcase, very small oil particles will be entrained in this vaporization process. The oil level in the
crankcase will now drop and rob mechanical parts of vital lubrication.

Flooding can cause by:


[Link] load
[Link] Evaparator
[Link] Clog
[Link] Belt Failure
[Link] the system
[Link] Fan out

[Link] Slugging

Liquid slugging is a condition that results when an air conditioner's refrigerant enters the compressor while it is
still in a liquid state. It usually damages parts of the compressor, like the compressor motor, because these
parts are designed to handle gases.

Liquid Slugging can cause by:

[Link] load
[Link] Evaparator
[Link] Clog
[Link] Belt Failure
[Link] the system
[Link] Fan out
