Refrigerant Oil

COMPRESSOR OIL
When replacing the compressor with a new one, gradually discharge the refrigerant gas from the service valve. Then drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor before installation, so that the amount of oil contained in it is the same as that in the compressor to be replaced.
HINT: New compressors are filled with sufficient oil for the whole cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to drain residual oil from the condenser and cooling unit.

Standard:
- (The amount of oil inside a new compressor: 190 (+15) cc (6.4 (+0.51) fl.oz.)) - (The amount of oil remaining in the removed compressor) = The amount of oil to be removed when replacing the compressor)
