on the entire system, including the Carlyle compressor.
All system or compressor questions should be directed
first to the OEM or the OEM’s local representative. If
questions cannot be answered by the OEM or this
Service Guide, please contact the Carlyle engineering
group.
The following recommended start-up procedure for
Carlyle 06D, 06E, and 06CC compressors will help
eliminate initial compressor failures caused by flooded
start, floodback, and running out of oil.
The Troubleshooting Procedures section (Section 2.3,
pages 20 to 31) will help pinpoint compressor and
system problems.
The Service Procedures section (Section 2.4, pages 32
to 43) covers the replacement of valve plates and
gaskets, service to the bearing head assembly contain-
ing the oil pump, and a clean-up procedure to follow in
case of motor burnout. Most other internal service
requires replacement of the compressor.
2.2 — Recommended Start-Up Procedure
Reliability data of Carlyle’s 06D, 06E, and 06CC
refrigeration compressors indicate that at least half of
compressor failures occur during the first two to four
months of operation. Many of these failures occur
during the initial start-up of the unit. In other cases,
troubled start-ups lead to compressor damage severe
enough to cause premature failures. The major causes
of failures of these compressors are flooded start,
floodback, and running out of oil. Most of these
failures can be avoided by using more care during the
initial start-up of the compressors. Therefore, the
following start-up procedure for 06D, 06E and 06CC
compressors is provided.
