the correct specifications. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines should always be followed. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. 7. Repairs on sealed components. During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies must be disconnected from the equipment being worked on before removing the sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical power supply to the equipment during maintenance, then a leak detection device must be placed at the most critical point to warn of a potentially dangerous situation.

If compressors or compressor oils need to be removed, make sure they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to ensure that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process must be carried out before returning the compressor to suppliers. To speed up this process, only electrical heating of the compressor body must be used.
