Ultra Heat GMV VRF Technical Service Manual MAINTENANCE 2.1.2 Precondition: units cannot be normally started Step 1: Disconnect the power supply of the units and open the electric junction box of the compressor to see whether wiring of the compressor is intact. Step 2: Measure the resistance between two wiring terminals (U, V, W).
Page 136
Ultra Heat GMV VRF Technical Service Manual MAINTENANCE After the box is removed, take care with the removal of electric parts’ lines. DO NOT pull the lines with excessive force; or they may be broken. The removed electric box must be protected for dustproof and waterproof purposes.
Page 137
Ultra Heat GMV VRF Technical Service Manual MAINTENANCE After the compressor and oil separator are removed, check oil quality. If oils are contaminated, replace the compressor, oil separator, and gas/liquid separator. If oil changes to black, check oils of other modular units. The check procedure is similar to the preceding. Note: Before replacing the faulty compressors, make sure to block their openings with tapes.
Page 138
Ultra Heat GMV VRF Technical Service Manual MAINTENANCE Use a glass container to hold the liquid. Check liquid impurities and colors and block the container for further factory inspection. Note: If the compressor needs replacement, the gas/liquid separator needs replacement as well, regardless whether the separator contains impurities or has faults or not.

Ultra Heat GMV VRF Technical Service Manual MAINTENANCE Step 6: Clear pipeline system. Check pipelines for abnormalities. Charge nitrogen into the main pipeline and clear the pipeline system. (1) Clear oil balance pipe. (2) Clear oil return pipe. (3) Clear liquid pipe filters.
Page 140
Check the rubbers for oil separator, gas separator, and drying filter. If they are lost during transportation, cover the parts with tape to keep the compressor dry and airtight inside. Note: Compressor lubricant must be kept completely airtight. GREE compressors use special lubricant FV50S whose moisture absorption capability is high. Requirements on air-tightness of these compressors are higher.

Ultra Heat GMV VRF Technical Service Manual MAINTENANCE Step 13: Vacuum-pump. After lubricant is added, keep on extracting air through a vacuum pump till the internal pressure reaches the absolute pressure 0kgf/cm2 and the pressure gauge reads -1 kgf/cm2. This is to ensure that moistures inside the pipeline system are completely vaporized.
