HOW / WHEN TO ADD OIL TO AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR

Here’s an important factor that most technicians overlooked, compressor oil levels, some compressor has oil level sight glass and others the only way to check oil levels is to disconnect it from the system and drain all oil contents. In this video the compressor has a oil sight glass and typically the level should be between 50 to 75% of the glass. Also information about compressor oil will most likely be on its name tag.

That must have a bad plug heater, I didn't see a crank case heater. That foaming is from liquid refrigerant getting under the COOL oil when the system is off. Then when it start's it pushes the oil out into the system. The heater helps to prevent that by keeping the oil HOT.

[@2020joeyd]

Crankcase heaters are only needed if the compressor is outdoors and runs all year long and during cold ambient temperatures.

I have a question- I have a rheem system. The compressor runs fine when temps outside are in the upper 70s, but once temps are in the mid 80s the compressor will run for a while and then shut down. The air handler is still blowing air. I’m assuming the scroll compressor is going into protection mode. Could old oil or warm out oil cause this issue?
Thanks!

Is the compressor over heating?

@@D2DNYAC I’d assume, but not sure. I ran it yesterday when it was 85 outside. Ran fine for half the day then compressor shut down. It’s 75 degrees out side right now, so I turned on the ac. Had to go out and push the reset button on the compressor. Been running fine for an hour.

Ooh, what button are you resetting?

So oil should be until half of glass When compressor working or when compressor not working

[@D2DNYAC]

Not working!

[@ronhanish]

on a typical 2 ton older r22 unit how much oil approximately for system? 25000 btu system.?

[@D2DNYAC]

@ron hanish Hard to say if the compressor doesn’t have an oil sight glass, you should be able to determine the oil type and quality from the name plate on the compressor! Or by using the compressor make, model and serial through the manufacture! Or by using the equipment make model or serial and contacting the unit manufacturer

[@D2DNYAC]

Oil problems is usually a result of 3 things , low back pressures, low oil, faulty oil pump. So if you add oil to the proper levels while the compressor is off and then when you run the compressor the levels remains low its a oil circulation problem

[@D2DNYAC]

If it’s hermetically sealed with no oil port at bottom of compressor, then Recover the refrigerant disconnect the pipe and drain it through suction pipe and add it back through suction pipe of compressor , the amount and type of oil should be on the sticker on the compressor.

I have 1.5 hp split a/c system, the compressor gets too hot after half an hour, current goes up to 10 amps, then the compressor shut down, how do I fix it?

[@D2DNYAC]

If it’s actually pumping / running check and verify the electricals power supply etc is good if so, if head pressures is not high, then compressor is bad, it will probably fail a Meg test.
If it doesn’t run /pump try using a hard start kit if it doesn’t run then the compressor is bad

[@mamaspuput8860]

@@D2DNYAC the head pressure is good, when its off, the pressure is around 250-300psi, and when its pumping, the pressure is around 140.
