SECTION 5 – TROUBLESHOOTING
Unusually high oil pressure is displayed
when the oil pump is running.
High oil pressure. Transducer/
Transmitter defective.
Replace low or high oil pressure
transducer or turbine supply oil
pressure transmitter
6. Symptom: Compressor or Turbine (KD Model) Oil Pump Vibrates or is Noisy
Oil pump vibrates or is extremely noisy
with some oil pressure
When oil pump is run
without an oil supply it
will vibrate and become
extremely noisy.
Oil not reaching pump suction inlet in
sufficient quantity
Check oil level
Worn or failed oil pump
Repair/Replace oil pump
7. Symptom: Compressor or Turbine (KD Model) Reduced Oil Pump Capacity
Oil pump pumping capacity.
Excessive end clearance pump. Other
worn pump parts.
Inspect and replace worn parts
Partially blocked oil supply inlet.
Check oil inlet for blockage.
8. Symptom: Compressor or Turbine (KD Model) Oil Pressure Gradually Decreases
(Noted by Observation of Daily Lot Sheets)
When compressor oil pump VSD
frequency increases to 55 + hz to
maintain target oil pressure. Turbine
supply pressure gradually drops as
noted by log sheets
Oil filter is dirty.
Change oil filter.
9. Symptom: Compressor Oil Pressure System Ceases to Return Oil/Refrigerant Sample
Oil refrigerant return not functioning.
Filter-drier in oil return system dirty.
Replace old filter-drier with new.
Jet or orifice of oil return jet clogged
Remove jet, inspect for dirt. Remove
dirt using solvent and replace.
10. Symptom: Compressor or Turbine (KD Model) Oil Pump Fails to Deliver Oil Pressure
No Oil pressure registers when oil
pump runs.
Faulty oil pressure transducer/
transmitter Faulty wiring/connections.
Replace oil pressure transducer/
transmitter
11. Symptom: Turbine Is Still Warm After Prolonged Shutdown
Turbine shaft may have taken a bow
during shutdown.
Turbine inlet valves have leaked during
shutdown.
Slow roll turbine as noted is Startup
Section. Check valves for tightness and
leakage. Repair/replace as necessary.
12. Symptom: Excessive Vibration of Drive Line During Operation
Possible damage to compressor or
turbine
Misalignment of coupling
Stop the system and investigate the
cause.
Damage or worn bearings in
compressor and/or turbine.
Bowed turbine shaft (See item 11)
