Failure modes and risk assessment of rotary compressor under extraordinary operating conditions.

Author(s) : YUN K. W.

Summary

Under an extraordinary operating condition, any rotary compressor will eventually fail if the condition is harsh enough and/or lasts long enough. Rotary compressor, in reality, can be exposed to and operates under a variety of conditions that only can be classified as extraordinary. Cases in points are absence, lack or excessive amount of oil or refrigerant, blocked heat exchanger surfaces, missing compressor components, wrong refrigerant, absence or wrong overload protector and electrical miswiring. The paper examines what kinds of failure mode such extraordinary operating conditions lead to.
