•
Carry out the measurements of pressure, electric current, and temperature fifteen minutes after an operation is started.
11.1.2. Diagnosis methods of a malfunction of a compressor and 4-way valve
Nature of fault
Symptom
•
Electric current during operation becomes approximately 20% lower than the normal value.
Insufficient compressing of a compressor
•
The discharge tube of the compressor becomes abnormally hot (normally 70 to 90°C).
•
The difference between high pressure and low pressure becomes almost zero.
•
Electric current reaches a high level abnormally, and the value exceeds the limit of an
ammeter. In some cases, a breaker turns off.
Locked compressor
•
The compressor is a humming sound.
•
Electric current during operation becomes approximately 80% lower than the normal value.
Insufficient switches of the 4-way valve
•
The temperature different between from the discharge tube to the 4-way valve and from
suction tube to the 4-way valve becomes almost zero.
