Notes on the Selection of Compressor Oil for Chillers

The chiller is assembled from compressor, evaporator, condenser, and other accessories, and the compressor is the key part equivalent to the heart of the chiller. A little carelessness will directly affect the operation of the entire chiller. In addition to its own quality, the normal operation of the compressor also depends on the lubrication of the compressor oil. The refrigeration compressor oil is mainly used to lubricate the compressor cylinder, piston ring, bearing, speed-increasing gear, crank connecting rod and crankcase Lubricating system requires regular replacement of lubricant to ensure its quality.
The chiller manufactured by the chiller manufacturer will be filled with refrigerant and lubricating oil before leaving the factory. Customers only need to connect the water system and power supply to use. However, during the operation of the unit, the lubricating oil will inevitably be contaminated and need to be replaced, so how to choose the correct compressor oil for the chiller? The following is a brief analysis of the notes on the selection of compressor lubricants:
1. Has good oxidation stability
Since the discharge temperature of the compressor of the chiller is usually 120℃～200℃, it is possible to reach ℃. The compressor oil is easily oxidized at high temperature and deteriorates to produce sludge. Therefore, the oxidation stability of the compressor oil must be guaranteed to prevent oxidation Generate sludge.

2. Have a suitable viscosity
Appropriate viscosity of refrigeration compressor oil can make the compressor play good lubrication, cooling and sealing under working temperature and pressure, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the chiller compressor.
3. The tendency of carbon deposition is better
The accumulation of carbon in the exhaust system will cause the exhaust valve to be closed tightly, and at the same time, the cooling effect will be poor, and the temperature of the exhaust gas will increase. Therefore, the compressor of the chiller is prone to failure, even fire or explosion. The tendency of carbon deposition is better.
4. It has good anti-emulsification, anti-corrosion, and anti-foam properties
Condensate and air are easily mixed in the compressor oil of the chiller, which will emulsify and deteriorate the oil, increase the corrosion and wear of the machine parts, and oxidize the oil. Therefore, it is required to have good anti-emulsification, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance.
The above points can help you choose the correct lubricant for the chiller compressor. When replacing the lubricant, if the company does not have a professional operator, it is recommended to ask the chiller manufacturer to arrange a technician to replace it. Remember not to disassemble it by yourself to avoid unnecessary loss.

Commercial Chiller Repair and Maintenance Tips

图片
Commercial chiller  repair can be an expensive and time-consuming process if you don't know what you're doing. However, with this guide, you will learn how to properly diagnose and repair your industrial chiller to get it working at full capacity again.   Commercial Chiller Repair and Maintenance Tips Commercial chiller repair is an important part of any chiller owner's job. There are many reasons why industrial chillers fail, but they can be prevented with a few simple steps.   Perform routine maintenance on a quarterly basis. Your  chiller manufacturer  should provide you with a chiller checklist as a guide. If optional, you should join your customer's preventive maintenance program. Always use a licensed HVAC company for maintenance and repairs, and keep maintenance and repair records for future reference.   Inspect the heat transfer fluid to ensure it is free of debris and properly rated for ambient conditions and process fluid temperature. Then, check the "Y&q

What Do You Know about Air Cooled Chiller?

图片
  The   chiller refrigeration system   consists of four basic parts, namely compressor, condenser, throttle and evaporator. The four major parts are connected by copper pipes in a certain order to form a closed system, and the system is charged with a certain amount of refrigerant. The role of industrial chillers is mainly to provide chilled water to various industries to cool down the equipment, to improve the accuracy of the product, improve the role of production efficiency. After the user has purchased and installed the industrial chiller, it is time to observe its actual operation. So what are the operating parameters of the industrial chiller? Its operating parameters are mainly voltage, current, power, temperature, pressure, flow rate, liquid level, concentration, etc. Voltage: The supply voltage must be in line with the equipment voltage, too high or too low will affect the safe operation of the chiller. Current: There are industrial chillers nameplate current and the actual op

How to Deal With the High Pressure Alarm Caused by the Blockage of the Condenser?

  Condensers of   screw chillers   are extremely easy to foul and reduce heat exchange efficiency, so it is very important to clean the condenser of screw chillers. First, reasons for the cleaning of the condenser of the screw chiller: The condenser of the screw chiller is very easy to scale. Normally, daily water treatment should be done during the cooling period in the summer. Otherwise, if it is operated in a high hardness water environment, the inorganic salt dissolved in the water in the circulating water system will rise with the temperature. High crystal precipitation, scale formation on the tube wall of the condenser heat exchange surface, resulting in reduced heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, if the hard scale increases, the energy consumption will increase. When the hard scale is 1mm thick, it will increase by 6%-8%. In addition, due to the dirt, silt, and humus in the water, the biological slime formed by bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms and their secretio
