Installing A New Compressor by timecon(m): 11:58am On May 28, 2017
INSTALLING A NEW COMPRESSOR

The compressor you are replacing failed for a reason.

It is important that you find out why the compressor failed before installing the new compressor. This process will keep you from replacing the compressor multiple times.

80% of compressor failure is due to leak of lubrication (oil) or a restriction in the system. Remember 60% of the oil in the AC system should stay in the compressor.

Therefore, if the total amount of oil in the system is 6 ounces, the compressor should contain 4 ounces of oil. As the refrigerant circulates through the system, it carries the oil and returns it to the compressor.

If the old compressor that failed has no oil or insufficient oil, the system has a refrigerant leak or a restriction which is preventing the return of oil to the compressor.

Debris and restrictions on the system prevent the correct amount of oil from reaching the compressor. If you do not repair the leak or correct the restriction, the new compressor will fail.

Dear Erico,

Good day and many thanks for your question.

1. The filter element in the air conditioning system are either refered as filter dryer or accumulator, depending on the type of system. The task of the filter dryer is to remove impurities from the refrigerant and to dehumidify it.

Note, it is recommended to replace it every 2 years or any time the system is opened.

2. There is a compressor screen filter, it is recommended that, after flushing the system, the screen filter should be install in the suction line, in other to protect against damage to the compressor by possible residual contamination.

3. There is no way to gauge the oil in the compressor or the system since it is a close loop system. But there is a tool to measure the oil to be added to the compressor / the system.

Regards.

In addition, the only way you can gauge the oil in the compressor, is if you just want to replace the compressor in your car either New or tokunbo every car have an amount of oil that is supposed to go inside the compressor before Installation.
