Carlyle Compressor Reciprocating Compressor 06DR3166

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Is the application high compression ratio?

If the application is not high compression ratio, stop the procedure

Are new fiber gaskets installed?

If new fiber gaskets are not installed, stop the procedure

Does the compressor have metal core gaskets?

If the compressor has metal core gaskets, stop the procedure

Gear cap screws retorqued after 24 hours?

Sign off on the gear cap screws maintenance

If oil stays clean and acid-free, the system is clean.

Does oil show signs of contamination?

If oil shows signs of contamination, change oil, change filter-drier, and clean suction strainer.

Is filter-drier or suction strainer dirty or discolored?

If filter-drier or suction strainer is dirty or discolored, repeat this step until system is cleaned.

Warning: This maintenance check requires trained personnel with PPE!

Oil pressure tap located in the bearing head assembly?

Oil pump assembly contained in the pump end bearing head aluminum casting?

Pump end main bearing is a machined part of the casting?

Four (4) cap screws from the bearing head cover plate removed?

Oil feed guide vane and spring removed?

Two (2) drive segment cap screws from the end of the crankshaft removed?

Eight (8) cap screws holding the bearing head assembly to the crankcase removed?

REMOVE, INSPECT AND REPLACE CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVE PLATE ASSEMBLY

Observe suction and discharge pressure equalization.

If valves are leaking or a gasket is blown, the pressure will equalize rapidly.

Maximum allowable discharge pressure drop is 3 psi per minute after initial drop of 10 to 15 psi in first half minute.

New reed valves may require 24 to 48 hour run-in time to seat completely.

A compressor bank (head) with a blown gasket can also usually be detected by touch since the head temperature will normally be much hotter than a bank with good gaskets.

If there is an indication of loss of capacity and discharge valves are functioning properly, remove valve plate assembly and inspect suction valves.

NOTE: This test procedure is not applicable to compressors equipped with pressure actuated unloader valves due to rapid pressure equalization rate. Inspect suction and discharge valves by disassembling valve plate.

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Does the oil pump require replacement?

Does the bearing require replacement?

Enter the part number for replacement

Note: The above pump end bearing head packages include a bearing head with the high side oil safety switch connection. This pump is recommended for all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigeration applications.
