The total oil charge, 4.5 pints (2.6 L), consists of 3.5 pints
(2.0 L) for the compressor and one additional pint (0.6 L)
for the oil separator.
Oil should be visible in one of the pumpout compressor
sight glasses both during operation and at shutdown. Always
check the oil level before operating the pumpout compres-
sor. Before adding or changing oil, relieve the refrigerant
pressure as follows:
1. Attach a pressure gage to the gage port of either pumpout
compressor service valve (Fig. 10).
2. Close the suction service valve and open the discharge
line to the pumpout storage tank or the chiller.
3. Operate the compressor until the crankcase pressure drops
to 2 psig (13 kPa).
4. Stop the pumpout compressor and isolate the pumpout
system by closing the discharge service valve.
5. Slowly remove the oil return line connection (Fig. 9). Add
oil as required.
6. Replace the connections and reopen the pumpout com-
pressor service valves.
Storage Tank —
To prevent moisture and contami-
nants from entering the storage tank, maintain positive pres-
sure in the tank when not transferring refrigerant. Leak test
the storage tank according to your normal vessel leak test
procedures and schedule.
Ordering Replacement Parts —
The following in-
formation must accompany an order for Carrier-specified parts:
• machine model number and serial number
• name, quantity, and part number of the part required
• delivery address and method of shipment
TROUBLESHOOTING
Information on troubleshooting for the PPS is included in
Table 7.
Table 7 — Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
PROBABLE CAUSE
REMEDY
Compressor does not run
Main power line open
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Loose terminal connection
Check connections.
Improperly wired controls
Check wiring and rewire.
Low line voltage
Check line voltage; determine location of voltage drop.
Compressor motor defective
Check motor winding for open or short. Replace compressor if
necessary.
Seized compressor
Replace compressor.
High level gage alarm
Check refrigerant level and remove excess.
Compressor cycles on
high-pressure control
High-pressure control erratic in action
Check capillary tube for pinches. Set control as required..
Discharge valve partially closed.
Open valve.
Air in system
Purge system.
Condenser scaled.
Clean condenser.
Condenser water pump or fans not operat-
ing.
Start pump or fans.
Unit operates too long
Isolation valves partially open
Close valves.
System Noises
Piping vibrations
Support piping as required. Check for loose pipe connectors.
Compressor noisy
Check valve plates for valve noise. Replace compressor (worn
bearings). Check for loose compressor holddown bolts.
Insufficient compressor oil
Add oil.
Compressor Loses Oil
Leak in system
Locate and repair leak.
Plugged or stuck compressor oil return
check valve
Repair or replace valve.
Dirty accumulator
Clean accumulator.
