11. Incorrect refrigerant line sizing.
12. Improper system piping.
13. Problems in electrical service to compres sor unit.
14. Air and moisture present in the system.
Make a list of all deviations from normal plant operation and
normal compressor unit operation. Delete any items which
do not relate to the symptom and separately list those items
that might relate to the symptom. Use the list as a guide to
further investigate the problem.
The second step in problem solving is to decide which items
on the list are possible causes and which items are additional
symptoms. High discharge temperature and high oil tempera-
ture readings may both be symptoms of a problem and not
casually related. High suction superheat or a low receiver
level, however, could cause both symp toms.
The third step is to identify the most likely cause and take
action to correct the problem. If the symptoms are not
relieved, move to the next item on the list and repeat the
procedure until you have identified the cause of the problem.
Once the cause has been identified and con firmed, make the
necessary correc tions.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS - TESTING
Test Procedure:
1. Shut compressor down and allow pressures to equalize.
2. Isolate suction transducer (PE-4) from unit and depres-
surize.
NOTE: Recover or transfer all refrigerant vapor,
in accordance with local ordinances, before opening to
atmosphere.
3. Measure the DC voltage of (PE-4) on connector (P6A) (ter-
minals 2 and 3) on the analog board with a digital voltmeter.
4. The voltage reading should be between 1.48 VDC and
1.72 VDC at standard atmospheric pressure (14.7 PSIA or
0 PSIG). When checking transducers at higher elevations,
