Flemment
Aeration and cooling system compressors more often than not bomb because of one of two conditions: time and hours of task (destroy), or manhandle. There are a few disappointments that can happen somewhere else in the framework that will cause a compressor disappointment, yet these are less normal unless the framework has been significantly mishandled.
Typically mishandle is an aftereffect of expanded running with dishonorable freon charge, or as an outcome of despicable administration en route. This inappropriate administration can incorporate cheating, undercharging, introducing the wrong starter capacitor as a substitution, expelling (as opposed to repairing/supplanting) the warm limiter, deficient oil, blending inconsistent oil composes, or wrong oil, introducing the compressor on a framework that had a noteworthy burnout without finding a way to expel the corrosive from the framework, introducing the wrong compressor (too little) for the framework, or introducing another compressor on a framework that had some other disappointment that was never analyzed.
The compressor can bomb in just a modest bunch of various ways. It can fall flat open, fizzle shorted, encounter a course disappointment, or a cylinder disappointment (toss a pole), or experience a valve disappointment. That is essentially the whole rundown.
At the point when a compressor falls flat open, a wire inside the compressor breaks. This is unserviceable and the side effect is that the compressor does not run, however it might murmur. In the event that the compressor fizzles open, and following the means here does not settle it, at that point the framework might be a decent contender for another compressor. This disappointment causes no further disappointments and won't harm whatever is left of the framework; if whatever remains of the framework isn't run down then it would be financially savvy to simply put another compressor in.
Testing for a fizzled open compressor is simple. Pop the electrical cover for the compressor off, and expel the wires and the warm limiter. Utilizing an ohmmeter, measure the impedance starting with one terminal then onto the next over each of the three terminals of the compressor. Additionally measure the impedance to the instance of the compressor for each of the three terminals.
You should read low impedance esteems for all terminal to terminal associations (a couple of hundred ohms or less) and you ought to have a high impedance (a few kilo-ohms or more prominent) for all terminals to the case (which is ground). In the event that any of the terminal to terminal associations is a high impedance, you have a fizzled open compressor. In exceptionally uncommon cases, a fizzled open compressor may demonstrate a low impedance to ground from one terminal (which will be one of the terminals related with the fizzled open). For this situation, the broken wire has moved and is reaching the case. This condition - which is very uncommon however not feasible - could make a breaker trip and could bring about a misdiagnosis of flopped short. Be watchful here; complete an analysis of the substance of the lines previously choosing how to continue with repair.
At the point when a compressor flops short, what happens is that protection on the wires has worn off or consumed off or broken inside the compressor. This permits a wire on an engine twisting to contact something it ought not contact - most generally itself a turn or two further along on the engine winding. This outcomes in a "shorted winding" which will stop the compressor instantly and make it warm up and consume inside.
Terrible heading can cause a flopped short. Either the rotor wobbles enough to contact the stator, bringing about protection harm that shorts the rotor either to ground or to the stator, or end bearing wear can enable the stator to move down after some time until the point when it starts to rub against the stator closes or the lodging.
Generally when one of these shorts happen, it isn't promptly a hard short - implying that at first the contact is discontinuous and goes back and forth. Each time the short happens, the compressor torque drops strongly, the compressor may shiver a bit unmistakably thus, and this shiver shakes the sufficiently twisting to isolate the short. While the short is set up, the current through the shorted twisting shoots up and a great deal of warmth is created. Additionally, for the most part the short will blow a few flashes - which produces corrosive inside the aeration and cooling system framework by disintegrating the freon into a blend of hydrochloric and hydrofluoric corrosive.
After some time (conceivably half a month, normally less) the shivering and the starting and the warmth and the corrosive reason protection to flop quickly on the winding. At last, the winding loses enough protection that within the compressor is truly consuming. This will just continue for a couple of minutes however in that time the compressor obliterates itself and fills the framework with corrosive. At that point the compressor stops. It might around then liquefy a wire free and short to the lodging (which can trip your home primary breaker) or it may not. On the off chance that the underlying reason for the disappointment was terrible heading making the rotor rub, at that point as a rule when the thing at long last kicks the bucket it will be shorted to the lodging.
On the off chance that it shorts to the lodging, it will blow wires as well as breakers and your ohmmeter will demonstrate a low impedance from at least one windings to ground. In the event that it doesn't short to the lodging, at that point it will simply stop. Regardless you build up the kind of disappointment utilizing an ohmmeter.
You can't specifically determine a flopped short to have an ohmmeter unless it shorts to the lodging - a shorted winding won't appear with an ohmmeter however it would with an inductance meter (yet who has one of those?) Instead, you need to surmise the bombed short. You do this by setting up the ohmmeter gives typical readings, the starter capacitor is great, control is touching base at the compressor, AND a basic analysis of the freon demonstrates corrosive present.
With a flopped short, simply surrender. Change everything, including the lines if conceivable. It does not merit settling; it is loaded with corrosive and along these lines is all garbage. Further, a flopped short could have been at first incited by some other disappointment in the framework that caused a compressor over-burden; by supplanting the entire framework you likewise will dispose of that potential other issue.
Less usually, a compressor will have a course disappointment, cylinder disappointment or a valve disappointment. These mechanical disappointments typically simply flag destroy yet could flag mishandle (low grease levels, warm limiter evacuated so compressor overheats, constant low freon condition because of un-repaired spills). All the more once in a while, they can flag another disappointment in the framework, for example, a switching valve issue or an extension valve issue that breezes up giving fluid freon a chance to get into the suction side of the compressor.
On the off chance that a heading bombs, typically you will know on the grounds that the compressor will seem like an engine with an awful bearing, or it will bolt up and decline to run. In the most pessimistic scenario, the rotor will wobble, the windings will rub on the stator, and you will end up with a bombed short.
In the event that the compressor bolts up mechanically and neglects to run, you will know since it will buzz noisily for a couple of moments and may shiver (simply like any slowed down engine) until the point when the warm limiter cuts it off. When you do your electrical checks, you will discover no proof of fizzled open or flopped short. The basic analysis will demonstrate no corrosive. For this situation, you may make a decent attempt begin unit yet in the event that the compressor has flopped mechanically the hard-begin pack won't get the compressor to begin. For this situation, supplanting the compressor is a decent arrangement inasmuch as whatever is left of the framework isn't run down. In the wake of supplanting the compressor, you should precisely break down the execution of the whole framework to decide if the compressor issue was instigated by something unique.
Once in a while, the compressor will encounter a valve disappointment. For this situation, it will either stay there and seem to run joyfully yet will pump no liquid (valve won't close), or it will bolt up because of a powerlessness to move the liquid out of the pressure chamber (valve won't open). In the event that it is running cheerfully, at that point once you have set up that there is without a doubt a lot of freon in the framework, yet nothing is moving, at that point you must choose the option to change the compressor. Once more, a framework with a compressor that has had a valve disappointment is a decent contender for another compressor.
Presently, if the compressor is mechanically bolted up it could be a result of a few things. On the off chance that the compressor is on a warmth pump, ensure the turning around valve isn't stuck midway. Likewise ensure the extension valve is working; on the off chance that it is blocked it can bolt the compressor. Likewise ensure the channel isn't stopped up. I once observed a framework that had a bolted compressor because of fluid bolt. Some numbskull had "overhauled" the framework by including freon, and including freon, and including freon until the point when the thing was totally loaded with fluid. Believe me; that does not work.
Should conclusion demonstrate a stopped up channel, at that point this ought to be taken as positive confirmation of some disappointment in the framework OTHER than a compressor disappointment. Regularly, it will be metal parts out of the compressor that obstructs the channel. This can just happen if something is making the compressor wear quickly, especially in the cylinders, the rings, the bores, and the orientation. Either the compressor has tremendously deficient oil OR (and all the more ordinarily) fluid freon is getting into the compressor on the suction line. This conduct must be ceased. Take a gander at the development valve and at the turning around valve (for a warmth pump).
Frequently an old framework encounters enough mechanical wear inside that it is "worn in" and needs more torque to begin against the framework stack than can be conveyed. This framework will sound simply like one with a bolted bearing; the compressor will buzz noisily for a couple of moments then the warm limiter will slaughter it. Sometimes, this framework will begin straight up in the event that you whack the compressor with an elastic hammer while it is humming. Such a framework is a decent contender for a hard-begin unit. This pack stores vitality and, when the compressor is advised to begin, dumps additional current into the compressor for a moment or somewhere in the vicinity.
