Expert insights on commercial HVAC compressors and refrigeration systems.
It is important to understand the difference between useful or net oil pressure and discharge oil pressure for the health of your commercial compressor.
Oil or lubricant protects your compressor, and without it, your compressor will break down quickly.
Knowing the common signs of vibration and bearing wear is a good way to plan for replacements before something goes wrong.
Unfortunately, many people ignore the signs of commercial compressor failure instead of acting to save the compressor from further damage.
There are three main categories of commercial compressors available for sale: new, rebuilt and remanufactured.
Trane has always been a leader in the commercial compressor industry, since its earliest days, but modern Trane compressors are going a step above and beyond to give consumers and businesses alike an unbeatable experience.
When you invest in a remanufactured commercial compressor, what you are really buying is a piece of equipment that has been restored to original manufacturer specifications.
In this guide, we will explore the differences between your condensing unit and your commercial compressor so that you will be able to correctly identify each piece of the puzzle and understand how they work together.
Unlike refurbished compressors, they must be as close to perfect as possible, before they leave the warehouse and ship to a customer's location. As you can imagine, this means that they need to undergo extensive testing and inspections so that they will perform like new. T
Refrigeration has been accomplished in a variety of ways over the course of history, but vapor-compression refrigeration systems (VCRS) have become the preferred option thanks to their efficiency and reliability. If you've ever driven a car or used an HVAC system, you have probably used a VCRS without even realizing it. So what is a vapor-compression refrigeration system?
Bearing vibration is an indication of parts wearing down over time. HVAC maintenance technicians use vibration tests to determine signs of wear and plan a proper maintenance course for the future.
Compressor floodback is a common cause of HVAC/R system failure. Floodback occurs when uncontrolled liquid refrigerant enters the compressor during system operation.
