Replace Compressors in York Chiller
Job Description: Replace Compressors in York Chiller
Area: Fairmount Avenue, London
Issue Identified: Following a recent visit/survey on site, our engineer advised a few issues with the York Chiller. No oil in compressor sight glass and crank case heater wasn’t working. Both circuits had numerous oil leaks around the compressor gaskets. Due to the lack of oil in the compressors we recommended complete overhaul of both compressors.
Works carried out:
- Isolated the York Chiller unit electrically and mechanically.
- Recovered refrigerant into certified cylinder for storage on site.
- Weighed and confirmed the charge.
- Removed the compressors and returned to our factory to remanufacture.
- Replaced the overhauled compressors using hot works.
- Pressure tested with OFN (oxygen free nitrogen) to locate any possible leak.
- Once proved released OFN (oxygen free nitrogen) to atmosphere and evacuated system to a minimum of 2 Torr.
- Re-charged with recovered refrigerant and trim charged with virgin refrigerant.
- Test ran and commissioned.
- Completed waste transfer note and handed to on-site representative.
