2 • COMPRESSOR
If you need to replace the compressor, be aware of the following safety recommendations:
I.
Make sure the compressor is disconnected from the mains.
Failure to shut down the compressor from the mains during maintenance procedures
may expose the technician to risk of electric shock and fire.
II.
Never remove the compressor before removing all refrigerant from the system. For this, the use of a
fluid collecting machine is recommended.
III.
Use a pipe cutter to disconnect the compressor tubes. Under no circumstances use the flame of the
torch to disconnect the compressor tubes.
IV.
In case of compressor burning and / or internal contamination of the system, clean the piping with
a suitable solvent applied according to the solvent manufacturer's technical guidelines.
Failure to comply with the solvent manufacturer's technical guidelines may expose the
technician to fire hazards and intoxication.
V.
Before connecting a compressor, make sure that:
- The voltage at the compressor label is suitable for the mains and the electrical
installation complies with item 1.1
The application of a compressor in incorrect voltage may cause short circuit in
the hermetic compressor terminal, causing the expulsion of hermetic pins causing
refrigerant and oil leakage.
- The plastic cover for electrical protection is properly seated.
The non-use or improper positioning of the plastic cover may expose the electrical
technician the risk of electric shock and fire.
VI.
Always use electrical accessories (components) supplied with new spare compressor.
Do not use electrical components from replaced compressor.
