FATC 41 Following points should be noted while performing a flushing process 1. Flush individual components. 2. Self made flushing fitments will be required as AC system component fittings all differ in size, shape and thread size. 3. When replacing air conditioning parts with new ones, it is necessary to replenish oil by approximately the same amount which was left in each part. 4. Reverse flush the components. 5. Do not flush through a compressor otherwise possible internal damage could occur. 6. Recycle the refrigerant recovered during flushing; the recovery device will remove contaminants through a filtration system. 7. Follow safety norms as per requirements. 8. Drain the oil completely from inside of the compressor from both suction and discharge port. 9. Fill the fresh oil from suction and discharge port 100 and 50 ml respectively. 10. Shake the compressor at least 20 times horizontally and keep vertical on rear cover / discharge side. 11. Drain the oil from discharge port first and then removed from suction port (ensure drain maximum oil from discharge port). 12. Follow the steps 9 to 11 at least three times. 13. Flush the compressor by dry nitrogen from suction port up to 10 bar for at least 5 min 14. Fill the fresh oil of desired quantity 150 ±10ml from suction port and close the both the ports by caps. NOTE Cleaning of contaminations may vary depends on the size and the metallic presence & its hardness. CAUTION Be sure to use specified compressor oil only. v. REPLENISHING COMPRESSOR OIL a. While re-installing the Original Compressor Drain and measure the refrigerant oil contained in the compressor. Charge oil through the suction port of the compressor 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 installed. (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 compressor (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 “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 compressor, draining of additional oil from the New Compressor becomes necessary. Following table illustrates the amount of oil to be replenish for respective HVAC/AC components Replaced parts Amount of compressor oil to be replenished (in CC) Evaporator 25 Condenser 40 Hoses 10 Pipes 10 Chiller unit 20 NOTE When only charging refrigerant without replacing any component, replenish the same amount of measured oil when recovering refrigerant, if not measured, replenish 30cc oil.
