d) REPLENISHING COMPRESSOR OIL

(a) While re-installing the Original Compressor

1. Drain and measure the refrigerant oil contained in

the compressor.

2. Charge oil through the discharge port of the com-

pressor with the same amount of new refrigerant

oil.

NOTE

If the amount of oil in the original compressor was

not checked, then approximately 70±10 ml. of new

oil should be added to the compressor being in-

stalled. (This is assuming the compressor being

installed has first been drained).

(b) While installing a New Compressor

A new compressor (1) comes with a certain amount

of oil (A) sealed in it. When replacing the old com-

pressor (2) with a new one; an amount of oil (C) as

calculated below should be drained from the new

compressor.

“C” = “A” -“B”

“C” = Amount of oil to be drained

“A” = Amount of oil sealed in a new compressor (1)

“B” = Amount of oil remaining in old compressor (2)

NOTE

As it is necessary to replenish oil by approximately

the same amount which is remaining in old compres-

sor, draining of additional oil from the New

Compressor becomes necessary.

Following table illustrates the amount of oil to

be replenished for respective HVAC/AC com-

ponents

NOTE

When only charging refrigerant without replacing any

component, replenish the same amount of measured

oil when recovering refrigerant, if not measured, re-

plenish 30cc oil.

CAUTION:

Specify SP10 oil for compressor Top-Up.

e) PRESSURE TEST

USING

MANIFOLD

GAUGES

This is a method where trouble is detected and re-

paired by using manifold gauge. The manifold gauge

indicates the refrigeration cycle high and low pres-

sure side pressures on the respective gauge.

NOTE

Make sure following conditions are fulfilled before

getting the correct gauge readings (after engine has

warmed –up

)
