The propane refrigeration screw compressor is leaking oil; improper operation has caused propane liquid to enter the inlet gas-liquid separator of the compressor, resulting in a low oil level in the oil separator as well as low oil and compressor temperatures. How can the oil temperature be raised quickly?
1. Check and fix the liquid belt issue: First, address the cause, that is, prevent more propane liquid from entering the compressor. Inspect and adjust the relevant intake pipes and valves to ensure that only gas enters the compressor. 2. Check the oil level and add the required amount of refrigeration oil: If the oil level is too low, an appropriate amount of refrigeration oil needs to be added to the system. 3. Heating the oil distributor: An external heating device, such as a heating strip or heater, can be used to raise the temperature of the oil in the oil distributor. This can help to quickly recover the oil and restore normal oil pressure and flow. 4. Start the compressor and run it at a low speed: Once the oil temperature reaches an appropriate level, start the compressor and operate it under light load to prevent additional damage caused by high loads. 5. Monitor oil temperature and pressure: Continuously monitor the oil temperature and pressure to ensure they remain within safe and effective ranges. Adjust the operating parameters to maintain a stable oil temperature. By following these steps, the oil temperature can be raised quickly to restore normal operation of the compressor. .
