8-9
Symptom: Low discharge pressure (check gage accuracy)
Possible Cause
Possible Remedy
Fan cycling switch out of adjustment or
defective
Check adjustment. Refer to FIGURE 9-3, “Fan
Control”. Replace if defective.
Compressor running unloaded or not pumping
efficiently
Check compressor motor amp. If the
compressor is running unloaded, the amperage
will only be approximately 60% of normal amp
draw (FLA). Refer to the compressor manual.
Ambient temperature low and prevailing winds
blowing through tower
Shield tower from prevailing winds to prevent
excessive cooling. Install an indoor sump.
Too much cold water circulating through
condenser
Install a water regulating valve in the water line
form the condenser and control flow by
receiver pressure.
Thaw gas valve #18 leaking through
Make sure manual opening stem is in the
automatic (screwed in) position. Repair or
replace defective parts.
Symptom: High suction pressure (check gage accuracy)
Possible Cause
Possible Remedy
Compressor running unloaded or not pumping
efficiently
Check compressor motor amp. If the
compressor is running unloaded, the amperage
will only be approximately 60% of normal amp
draw. Refer to the compressor manual.
Thaw gas valve #18 leaking through
Make sure manual opening stem is in the
automatic (screwed in) position. Repair or
replace defective parts.
Defective gage
Check pressure with accurate gage and replace
as necessary.
Symptom: Compressor running unloaded during freeze
Possible Cause
Possible Remedy
Low oil pressure
Check compressor net oil pressure.
Net oil pressure = oil pressure gage reading
less suction pressure.
Mycom = 17-28 psig
Vilter = 35-50 psig.
Refer to the compressor manual for “Oil
Pressure Adjustment”.
Unloader solenoid valve open
Check solenoid coil to make sure it is not
energized. If valve is stuck open, replace
valve.
Unloader mechanism not working properly
Refer to compressor manual. Mycom
compressor can be loaded manually.
