Maintenance Of Lubricant Quantity In Compressor: Notes

The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor when replacing any component or after a large gas leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the specified amount.

If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:

• Lack of lubricant: May lead to seized compressor
• Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
