Control And Analysis Of Breakdowns - Carrier 50HB Manual

Horizontal package air conditionners
13. C
ONTROL AND ANALYSIS OF BREAKDOWNS
Symptom
Evaporation pressure very high in relation with
the air inlet
Very low condensation pressure
Condensation pressure very high in relation to the
air outlet, high pressostat cutoff
Evaporation pressure too low (low pressostat
cutoff)
Compressor does not start, does not make noise
(humming)
Compressor does not start, motor sounds
intermittently
Repeated compressor starts and stops
The compressor makes a noise
Noisy operation
Cycle reversing is not carried out:
- No defrosting
- Does not change winter - summer cycles
18
Cause
a) Charge excess
b) High air temperature
c) Compressor aspiration not air tight
d) Cycle reversing valve in middle position
a) Gas lack
b) Compressor aspiration not air tight
c) Cycle inversion valve in middle position
d) Liquid circuit plugging
a) Insuffi cient air fl ow
b) Air inlet temperature very high
c) Dirty condenser (does not exchange)
d) Much refrigerant charge (fl ooded condenser)
e) The condenser fan is broken down
f) Air in the cooling circuit
a) Low fl ow in evaporator. Air recirculation
b) Frozen evaporator
c) Liquid line as different temperatures at fi lter inlet
and outlet
d) Gas lack
e) Very low condensation pressure
f) Evaporator fan broken down
a) No power
b) The contacts of a control element are open
c) Timing of anti cycle short does not allow the
starting
d) Open contact
e) Contactor coil burnt
f) Indoor Klixon open
a) Electrical power supply very low
b) Power cable disconnected
a) Because of high pressure
b) Control differential too short (short cycle)
c) Gas lack, cutoff because of low pressure
d) Dirty or frosted evaporator
e) The evaporator fan does not work, cuts off the
low pressostat
f) Expansion valve damaged or clogged by
impurities (cuts off low pressostat)
g) Dehydrating fi lter clogged (cuts off low safety)
a) Loose attachment
b) Oil lack
c) Compressor noise
a) Unit installed without antivibration protection
a) Electrical fault
b) Inversion valve coil defective
c) Defrost method not working
d) Cycle inversion valve in middle position
e) Control fault
Solution
a) Collect refrigerant
b) Verify overheating
c) Verify compressor state and replace
d) Check that the valve is not clogged. Replace if
necessary
a) Search for leaks, complete charge
b) Verify compressor state and replace
c) Check that the valve is not clogged. Replace if
necessary
d) Verify the dehydrating fi lter and expansion valve
a) Verify the air circuits (fl ow, fi lter cleanliness...)
b) Verify the control thermostat readjustment
c) Clean it
d) Collect refrigerant
e) Repair
f) Make vacuum and load
a) Verify the air circuits (fl ow, fi lter cleanliness...)
b) Verify defrost
c) Replace fi lter
d) Search for leaks, complete charge
e) Temperature of air or water in condenser very
low (air or water fl ow very high), adjust fl ow
f) Repair
a) Check differential, magnetothermals
b) Verify the safety chain of the electronic control
c) Verify electronic control
d) Replace
e) Replace
f) Wait for reactivation, verify intensity absorbed
a) Control line voltage and locate voltage drop
b) Verify connections
a) Verify charge
b) Increase differential
c) Search for leak, reload unit
d) Clean, verify evaporator air circuit
e) Replace or repair
f) Replace, as well as fi lter
g) Replace
a) Fix
b) Add oil to recommended level
c) Replace
a) Place base over shock absorbers
a) Locate and repair
b) Replace
c) Verify parameters
d) Tap with running compressor. Replace if
necessary
e) Locate and repair
