HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING BR
the compressor. Too much oil will reduce the cooling
capacity of the system.
It will not be necessary to check oil level in the
compressor or to add oil unless there has been an oil
loss. This may be due to a rupture or leak from a
line, shaft seal, evaporator or condenser. If a rup­
tures occurs add 1 oz. of oil to the system after the
repair has been made.
Oil loss at a leak point will be evident by the pres­
ence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
Refrigerant oil must be added when a accumulator,
evaporator, or condenser are replaced (refer to the
Refrigerant Oil Capacities Chart). When the com­
pressor is replaced, the oil must be drained from the
replaced compressor and measured. Drain all the oil
from the new compressor. Add back into the new
compressor the amount of oil that was drained out of
the old compressor.
