Carrier Compressors Service Guide

on the entire system, including the Carlyle compressor.All system or compressor questions should be directedfirst to the OEM or the OEM’s local representative. Ifquestions cannot be answered by the OEM or thisService Guide, please contact the Carlyle engineeringgroup.The following recommended start-up procedure forCarlyle 06D, 06E, and 06CC compressors will helpeliminate initial compressor failures caused by floodedstart, floodback, overheating, and running out of oil.The Troubleshooting Procedures section (Section 2.3,pages 20 to 31) will help pinpoint compressor andsystem problems.The Service Procedures section (Section 2.4, pages 32to 43) covers the replacement of valve plates andgaskets, service to the bearing head assembly containingthe oil pump, and a clean-up procedure to follow incase of motor burnout. Most other internal servicerequires replacement of the compressor.2.2 — Recommended Start-Up ProcedureReliability data of Carlyle’s 06D, 06E, and 06CCrefrigeration compressors indicate that at least half ofcompressor failures occur during the first two to fourmonths of operation. Many of these failures occurduring the initial start-up of the unit. In other cases,troubled start-ups lead to compressor damage severeenough to cause premature failures. The major causesof failures of these compressors are flooded start,floodback, overheating, and running out of oil. Most ofthese failures can be avoided by using more care duringthe initial start-up of the compressors. Therefore, thefollowing start-up procedure for 06D, 06E and 06CCcompressors is provided.11
