In some old fridge compressors there's no spiral vane inside the hollow shaft, only a small pressed in metal cap or funnel etc. at the bottom end, with a hole in its center, so they can work in either direction. It is only partly a splash lubrication. There are lubricanting holes on the main and excentric shaft for the slip bearings, so the oiling is more direct in those points.

I would've probably put in all new refrigerant in that system. Being that low with a potential leak like that, the refrigerant will be fractionated and the blend that is left in the receiver may not have the correct ratio of refrigerants in it. I know refrigerant is expensive and it will usually work just fine if you put the recovered refrigerant back in, I just wouldn't want to chance it with a new compressor in the system. I've had it bite me in the ass before. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting in back in unless I took it over to United (or whatever wholesaler you have) and have them analyze it first. Just nit-picking with a little constructive criticism. Great job on the repair. Love the videos. Keep it up.

@user-me5wj4cm2j Жыл бұрын
Hi. I'd reccomend you to use closed contactors, so dust and sand couldn't affect contacts. Also you can pay attention that contactors may have a really big difference in materials of contacts. It have big inpact in lifespan of contactor. Also you can install three phase control relay after contactor and use it's built-in relay like a safety switch for entire system. I don't remember if you have such relays in US, but in europe we get a lot of them. But we have a 400volts of voltage between each of 3phases and i don't remember any of 3P voltage control relays which can be manually set to control such a low voltage as 200-220v. We got such voltage only betwen P and N conductors, so if we got 240v between 2 phases that's mean there's something bad happened with one phase. Advantage of this relay- you can choose (and manually tune it) a timered switch on. I remember one case... I metred 920volts between two phases (normally 400v +/-10%) and all three-phase equipment are already dead. Customer's choose to use one phased equipment only... Bravo!!! And of course there's a solid states relays on the market. Why still using old fashioned defrost timing relay? Why not using controller such as eliwell 974?

Just then the compressor went to ground, the terminals blew out, and hot gas scorched his chest. He couldn't get out of the way and suffered 3rd degree burns on his chest and arms.

Haven't watched in a while. This felt like one of your old videos. More to the point, more hands on, less after talk because you covered it at the repair site. Even did autopsy on compressor and looked at contacts. Great depth to the video. This is the good stuff that had people watching before. not 5 minutes of repair and 40 minutes of after talk. Wish you could have pulled the rotor to check the bearings but I don't think it mattered at that point. Would have been fun to see. I've left shop towels wadded up and hanging out of refrigerant lines, briefly, even though it's dry just to prevent any air flow and possible moisture contamination. Yeah, probably won't but it's dry and doesn't leave fibers and I can quickly stuff a piece and yank it out before brazing. Made me wonder about silicon caps but I mean how often does that even happen anyways. You usually swap right there.

Dude....I am reading the comments.....some are being critical. The only thing I can say that I would not do is use a flare drier, sweat is always better. I would be proud of your job and would be extremely impressed if you were working for my company as a technician.

nice video, I always tell younger techs at my work watching KZfaq videos like this is one of the best ways to learn the trade, schooling doesn't give you good information like this. Do you have any videos on how to understand according to desired box temp, what saturated suction temperature you want to see in a system?

No one puts back the freon from a burned out compressor

This reminds me, I still have a blower motor and condenser fan motor sitting in my garage that I need to take apart to see what went wrong with them. 😀

I’m surprised you didn’t change out the dual pressure control at the same time of the compressor change out.

What the hell is a freezer? No suction dryer boy. Oh boy sucks and dry is very important. It help to remove any moisture

It would be cool if you showed how much hose you need to get water to the roof. I'm in western NY and it seems like 99% of the calls I go on there's no water anywhere near by. Usually have to run 200ft.+ of hose most of the time to get to a spigot. It can be a real pain.

Some of those contactors can be rebuilt. After polishing place the necessary pieces in a silver plating solution
