Draining Procedure

    Note: Drain and measure as much of the refrigerant oil as possible from the removed compressor.


    Object Number: 2026979 Size: SH
  1. Remove the compressor crankcase oil drain plug and drain the crankcase (1) into a clean, graduated container.
  2. Drain the oil from both the suction and discharge ports of the removed compressor into the same container. Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.
  3. Measure and record the amount of oil drained from the removed compressor. This measurement will be used during installation of the replacement compressor.
  4. Inspect oil drained from removed compressor. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Oil Diagnosis
  5. Properly discard the used refrigerant oil.

Balancing Procedure

    Note: The refrigerant oil in the A/C system must be balanced during compressor replacement.

  1. The replacement compressor is shipped with the total system capacity of refrigerant oil.

    2. Object Number: 2026979 Size: SH
  2. Before installing the compressor (1), the refrigerant oil will have to be partially drained:
    3. • Refer to the amount of refrigerant oil recorded during the compressor removal.
    • Subtract the amount recorded from the total system capacity. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities.
      The difference between the total system capacity and the recorded amount is the calculated amount to be drained from the replacement compressor.
  3. Drain the calculated amount of refrigerant oil from the replacement compressor.
