SECTION 4 - OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE

THE OIL CHARGE

The nominal oil charge for Q3-Q7 compressors is 11 

gallons, P7-H9 compressors is 17.5 gallons, K1-K4 

compressors is 20 gallons, and K7 compressors is 24 

gallons.
New YORK Refrigeration oil must be used in the cen-

trifugal compressor. Since oil absorbs moisture when 

exposed to the atmosphere, it should be kept tightly 

capped until used.

OIL CHARGING PROCEDURE

During operation the compressor oil level must be 

maintained in the OPERATING RANGE identified 

on the vertical oil level indicator. If the oil level falls 

into the lower sight glass, it is necessary to add oil to 

the compressor oil reservoir. The oil should be charged 

into the oil reservoir using the YORK Oil Charging 

Pump – YORK P/N 470-10654-000. To charge oil into 

the oil reservoir, proceed as follows:

1.  The unit must be shut down.
2.  Immerse the suction connection of the oil charg-

ing pump in a clean container of new oil and con-

nect the pump discharge connection to the oil 

charging valve (A) located on the remote oil res-

ervoir cover plate. (See 

Figure 9

) Do not tighten 

the connection at the charging valve until after the 

air is forced out by pumping a few strokes of the 

oil pump. This fills the lines with oil and prevents 

air from being pumped into the system.

3.  Open the oil charging valve and pump oil into the 

system until oil level in the compressor oil reser-

voir is in the OVER FULL region of the oil level 

indicator label. Close the charging valve and dis-

connect the hand oil pump.

4.  As soon as oil charging is complete, close the 

power supply to the starter to energize the oil 

heater. This will keep the concentration of refrig-

erant in the oil to a minimum.

When the oil reservoir is initially charged with oil, the 

oil pump should be started manually to fill the lines, 

passages, oil cooler and oil filter. This will lower the 

oil level in the reservoir. It may then be necessary to 

add oil to bring the level back into the OPERATING 

RANGE of the oil level indicator label.
