1. Vibration in the machine
  • It may be due to improper alignment between flywheel and motor pulley - get it properly alignments.

  • Loose foundation bolts - get it tightened
  • Stresses or improper alignment of suction and delivery lines with respect to the compressor suction strainer

  • If foundation is not RCC and made of R.B. then vibration will be there
    Improper location of machine on the foundation

  • If common cross rail for compressor and motor pulley is used then motor's vibration will transmitted to the compressor. Hence take corrective action to remove the vibration of motor. If necessary fill the gap between the foundation and cross rail by concrete, after tightening all foundation bolts and motor

  • Improper fitment of shaft key with flywheel which will cause flywheel to wobble

  • Even if vibrations are there then first find out vibration due to suction pipe line or delivery pipe line by following steps :  
     
    a. Tight all the foundation bolts of compressor and motor
    b. Properly align the flywheel and the motor pulley
    c.

    Remove the delivery valve from the pipe line and start the compressor. Then vibration will be highlighted if it is in present.

    d.

    Similarly fit the delivery valve in the pipe line and remove suction valve from line and start the compressor and highlight the vibration and get it properly align to the header


2. More Oil Consumption

  • Low suction pressure to compressor - It may be due to over size of compressor compared to the system

  • Less fit things and coil in the evaporate coil

  • In effective dia of coil

  • If system problem is not rectified due to hurry then run the compressor on 650 RPM temporarily.

  • VLD O ring may be oversize - change

  • Teflon ring may be got undersize - change

  • If still oil consumption is more then remove the head cover, start the compressor after removing delivery valve, stroke limitor, buffer spring, suction ring and spring. If more oil accommodate under top of piston, then it is the indication of worn out of piston rings. - Get it change

  • Small leakages in the pipe line - No use of branded refrigeration 68 No. oil


3. Overheating of Compressor
  • For single stage machine discharge pressure should be between 10 - 13 kg/cm2. If it is more it will cause heating compressor.

  • It may be due to less number of condenser coils.

  • Less cooling of gas in the pipe line due to air as the condensers mounted on congested place.

  • Less cooling of gas due to improper water circulation on coils

  • Delivery valve choked due to dart or dust accumulated in the delivery valve

  • More end clearance in the thrust ring and steel ring - use thinner to clean 


4. Shaft Seal Leakage

  • If too much oil is charged in the compressor

  • Damage of shaft seal cover O ring

  • Damage of liner O rings

  • Grubs screw in the bronze seal may be left its position from locking slot- get it tightened and fit properly in the locking slot.

  • Shaft seal steel may not be working properly

  • Damaged shaft seal cover casting


5. Low Oil Pressure
  • Paper filter may be choked or wire filter may be choked- get it changed

  • More dust from system is accumulated in the crank case - get it changed by diesel

  • More gap is formed between drive & driven gears- change the gears

  • Dust may be accumulated in the plunger, time delay piston spring path - get it cleaned


6. Too much time delay
  • More dust is accumulated in the plunger, time delay piston of spring position

  • Work out time delay piston or oil may getting leak out through time delay NRC - change it

  • Short timing of time delay piston spring - change it

  • Improper setting of pins of cylinder liner- get it tested
