Compressor Failures
Typically, compressors die because something in the air conditioning or refrigeration system changes, which affects the compressor performance. For example, liquid slugging is a common cause of compressor failure, but the compressor doesn't cause this phenomenon. Motor burnout, another cause of premature death in a compressor, is also often caused by external factors. Therefore, when a technician replaces a compressor in the field, he must determine the root cause of the compressor failure. Too many times the root cause is not determined and the service replacement compressor will be doomed to death as well.
It is very important to determine and correct the cause of the failure. By using basic measurements of pressures, temperatures, amperage, etc. you will be able to pin point the issues and have an efficient reliable system.
