Cut off capillary to discharge refrigerant.
Discharge all refrigerant toward the exhaust vent.
Cut off exhaust pipe and
suction pipe.
Power up the compressor and feel the exhaust pressure from the exhaust pipe with a piece of paper.
DIAGNOSIS 1
CHECK AND TEST 2
Braze the joints of suction and exhaust pipes.
Melt brazing material with flame and pull out
processing tube with pliers.
Re-braze a copper tube onto processing tube of
compressor. Please find more details of brazing requirements, on 10.4 Annex B1.
NOTE
Inject nitrogen (1.57Mpa) through quick connector into pipe for at least 3 min to blow remaining refrigerant away.
Check to see if gas pressure from capillary is
normal or not.
Note:
Measure the 2 ends of cutting points
First, cut off end closed to exhaust end (A in
below picture).
Then, cut off the end closed to suction end, and check whether the pressure is reduced or not.
DIAGNOSIS 3
Clean paint off of brazed joint of drying filter.
Use a larger copper tube to connect 2 ends of
brazed joint.
Clean paint off of brazed joint of drying filter.
Cut off capillary and shake to remove the cut
end.
Braze on a new drying-filter.
Inject nitrogen (1.57Mpa) through quick connector into pipe for at least 3 min to blow remaining refrigerant away.
Add quick connector onto processing pipe of
drying-filter.
Perform a leakage test on all re-brazed joints
of drying-filter and compressor processing pipe.
Vacuum and recharge. Please get more details
of vacuuming and gascharging requirements
on 10.5 Annex B2
Block processing pipetwice by locking pliers.
Leave locked pliers attached to second
block and shake to cut off the remaining pipe.
Braze the ends and remove the pliers.
