BEFORE START-UP
1. Verify that the compressor nameplate indicates
proper model and voltage. Do the values agree with
system needs and available power?
2. Verify that there is oil in the system.
Since different refrigerants (CFC, HCFC, or HFC)
require specific oils (mineral, alkylbenzene, or
polyolester [POE]), Carlyle ships most new and
service compressors without oil. The oil level for
06CC size 16 to 37 Cfm compressors and all 06D
compressors should be at 1/4 to 3/4 of the sight
glass. The oil level for 06CC size 50 to 99 Cfm
compressors and all 06E compressors should be at
1/8 to 3/8 of the sight glass. See Sections 3.6 and
3.7, pages 69 to 72 for the proper Carlyle ap-
proved oils for the selected refrigerant.
Once the compressor system has been running for at
least 24 hours, the most accurate oil levels are
observed when the compressor is off. Oil levels in
the sight glass can be affected by the rotation of the
running gear.
