Type of article: Article

Summary

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE THREE MAIN POINTS OF THE ARTICLE: -USE PIPING PRACTICES THAT WILL INSURE OIL RETURN TO THE COMPRESSOR AT ALL LOAD POINTS OF THE COMPRESSOR. -USE SYSTEM DESIGN AND OPERATING PRACTICES THAT WILL PREVENT EXCESSIVE COMPRESSOR CYCLING -USE PROPER CONTROL PRACTICES AND MAINTENANCE TO PREVENT LIQUID ENTRAINMENT OR OF THE COMPRESSOR VALVES. THIS INCLUDES PROPER PROTECTION AGAINST REFRIGERANT OFF CYCLE MIGRATION AS WELL AS PROPER MAINTENANCE OF SUPERHEAT 5,5 TO 6,5 K (5,5 TO 6,5.C)/ OFF OF THE THERMAL EXPANSION VALVE (S) IN THE SYSTEM. IF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FOLLOWED, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PIPING PRACTICES, RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS WILL HAVE THE LIFE THAT THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS HAVE DESIGNED INTO THEM FOR MANY YEARS OF TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION THAT THE CUSTOMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPECT FROM A QUALITY INSTALLATION.
