How to replace the compressor of the system?
Aug 23, 2023
Replacing the system's compressor is a task involving maintenance of air conditioning, refrigeration, freezing and other equipment, requiring professional knowledge and skills to ensure safety and effectiveness. Since the operation involves high-voltage electrical appliances and refrigerants, it is recommended that only trained and authorized professional and technical personnel perform it. Improper handling may result in serious safety risks and equipment damage.
1. Drain the refrigerant: Before replacing the compressor, the refrigerant in the system needs to be drained. This often requires the use of specialized refrigeration equipment to recover and store the refrigerant for compliant disposal. Pay attention to the ventilation of the working environment, and the speed of releasing the refrigerant should not be too fast, so as to avoid personnel being frostbitten by the refrigerant. Pay attention to the color of the sprayed refrigerant. If the spray is white or colorless, the internal cleanliness of the system is relatively high. The compressor is probably not damaged. Be careful!
2. Remove the suction and exhaust pipes: Nitrogen filling operation to avoid oxide skin inside the system, and pay attention to whether there are impurities on the inner wall of the copper pipe.
3. No-load operation: Before the old compressor is removed, ensure that the suction and exhaust pipes are open, and the running time does not exceed 5 seconds, and judge whether the compressor is blocked and whether there is suction and exhaust. To test whether the compressor has suction or exhaust, you can feel it with your fingers close to the exhaust port; old compressors with poor insulation resistance and high operating current may leak electricity, so this method cannot be used to test.
4. Disassemble the old compressor: disconnect the power supply, and remove the wires, pipes and other connections related to the compressor. Take care to label each connection to ensure proper connection when reinstalling.
5. Cleaning system: The cleaning fluid requires high oil solubility and is easy to volatilize. It is recommended to use R11; the nozzle of the weld must be kept clean.

6. Install the new compressor: Place the new compressor in the correct location and connect the wires, pipes, etc. Make sure all connections are tight and airtight.
7. Welding the new compressor: Nitrogen must be filled for welding, and the nitrogen must reach the welding position; it is advisable to preheat until the copper tube turns pink; the welding rod must be melted by the temperature of the copper tube, not directly by the flame.
8. Vacuum pumping: After the new compressor is installed, the system needs to be pumped with a vacuum pump to remove the air and moisture in the system.
9. Charge refrigerant: According to the manufacturer's recommendation, charge an appropriate amount of refrigerant into the system.
10. System Test: Connect power, start the system, and perform the necessary tests to make sure everything is functioning properly. Monitor parameters such as temperature and pressure to ensure the system is performing as expected.
11. Check for leaks: After installation is complete, periodically check the system for gas leaks to ensure safety and performance.
In conclusion, replacing a system's compressor is a complex task that requires specialized knowledge and skills. If you do not have the necessary training and experience, it is strongly recommended to have a professional technician perform this task to ensure safe and reliable operation.
