[@tpcoachfix]

Good explanation. I used to work with these compressors, Carrier model O5G 6 cylinders in motor coaches. They were belt driven by the bus engine. When the unloader coil on a head. was electrically energized, those cylinders were unloaded. Lots of guys were confused by this. You could actually feel each side of the outer heads and sense a temperature difference from one side to the other. Low side, high side. I would watch the needles on the gauges "jump" when the unloader went from energized to densrgized.

[@AirConAcademy]

Yes, you are correct. A lot of guys get confused with the loading and unloading and with the pressures rising and falling as it loads and unloads. I am glad he liked the video. Thank you for watching!

[@fidel03]

[@derrickenbuenosaires]

Thanks for the information. Every now and then I come across unloaders. I understand the concept of what their function is but was not sure how I would go about troubleshooting if I came across a bad unloader. Knowing how your pressures regulate unloaded and loaded helps especially when there are 3 or 4 unloaders on a comp. Constant cycling of the compressor would probably indicate that the unloaders aren't doing their job.

[@AirConAcademy]

Yes, that could be an indication. You should check to see if the unloaders are unloading before the compressor shuts off. I mean it should be fully unloaded before it shuts off. Unloaders work great and it minimizes the constant starting up and shutting off of the compressor.

This is amazing! Very knowledgeable n good explanation! U r my great instructor 👍can u explain why compressor need pressure equalized ？please!

[@AirConAcademy]

Thank you so much! Thank you for your compliments and thank you for watching. I am not sure what you mean when you say pressure equalized? I believe you are talking about the pipe that is normally connecting two compressors when they run tandem Lee like in a chiller? One of the reasons they do this is because of the oil. As the compressor runs, it will pump some of the oil out because it mixes in with the refrigerant. As the suction Gas comes back, the oil is mixed in with it, and it would collect in only one of the compressors, if we did not have this equalization pipe between the two compressors. I hope this answers your question!!! And again, thank you for watching!

[@AirConAcademy]

Yes if your compressor is fully loaded when the solenoid is de-energized and you remove the solenoid, then the compressor will always be loaded and it will operate without any problems. that is ok. thank you for your question.

[@l.crossjr]

Very well explained. One question, when unloaders are energized and the port to suction is open all the time, doesn't this raise the low side pressure? Meaning that all that gas is flowing backwards to the evap?

[@alexkolle8928]

Basically, all valves to and from the compressor have to be closed in order for psi to build or get higher. This is because the compressor takes for example 10 ounces of space and compresses it into 2 ounce of space. If the suction side valve is open and the piston is moving up and down I have all that space from the compressor piston all the way back to the evaporator coil. This can be for example 100 ounces. The compressor now with the unloader operational is taking 110 ounces of space and compressing it into 102 ounces. This will barely raise the psi in the system and wont affect the flow of refrigerant. 10 ounces down to 2 ounces causes refrigerant to go from 10 psi to 100 psi 110 ounces down to 2 ounces causes refrigerant to go from 10 psi to 11 psi. If you think about that, 110 psi compared to 11 psi, the discharge side of the compressor is so much higher than the suction side. Basically this difference in pressure wont matter to the flow of refrigerant and your system will work. Even if you were able to have some flow of refrigerant from the suction side to the evaporator there would be a check valve installed on the system that would make sure that you have the proper flow. Try to think about the volume that the compressor has when both valves are closed and how much it can compress vs when the unloader forces it open and you have a large area/volume that cant really be compressed.

[@b.d.1409]

Great video! When adding refrigerant to a system, the compressor should be loaded. Typically, on an 06 e/d Carlyle, should the unloaders be ran in or out to be loaded?

[@AirConAcademy]

Yes, that is the only way to get the charge correct. To make sure the system is fully loaded. I don't know how your unloaders are set up but make sure that the unit is calling for full cooling so that the unloaders will be loaded. You will see that the pressures will change. The suction pressure will drop and discharge pressure will increase. Only then will you be able to get a charge correct. Hope this helps.

I understand the heat load determines if the loaders are energised or not. What are some ways this happens? Is it communication with a room thermostat?

[@mahdi.shahsavari]

I think you're wrong. there's no rod to push the suction valve. when the solenoid opens the port, discharge gas goes to the suction side through the opened port. in fact, the suction valve is opened by the gas that getting into the cylinder when the piston goes down. the solenoid opens a port only that connects the discharge side to the suction side. Am I missing some point?

[@AirConAcademy]

Mahdi Shahsavari hi, there are several ways of unloading compressors. You are correct in the sense that the newer compressors do everything by controlling pressure and opening or closing the suction port. But over the years there have been many ways of doing this. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@aboodal3amri376]

You are number one Can you tell me about Air compressor have unloader but is the that unloader work at same this operation or just discharge the air out to surrounding when unloading time(start and stop the compressor)?

[@AirConAcademy]

Thank you and I'm glad you like the video! Air compressors they load and unload to keep the electric motor from drawing high amperage. Every time an electric motor starts up it draws high amperage and that cost money in electricity. Plus it puts stress on the motor. So it is best to just unload the air compressor so that the air is not being compressed and being dumped out so that you don't have the start and stop on air compressors. I hope this helps and again thank you for watching!

[@tommcneil4374]

just a superb explanation. Thank you again.

[@abhijeetsinhe1250]

@9:04 u r explaining that with loading and unloading suction and discharge pressure changes what I think is, consider an example, we have R404 in our system and require temp is 4 deg C , to achieve this we need suction pressure around 60psig , if heat load increase this evaporator's pressure goes down(i.e. suction pressure) and to maintain the pressure 60psig load on compressor increases and it will activate another bank of cylinder and when load decrease it will unload the bank. This is how loading and unloading works. AND you are explaining that the pressure difference changes with loading and unloading but we have to maintain pressure in evaporator to maintain constant Temp.

[@AirConAcademy]

yes you want to maintain around 4C as the load increases the evaporator pressure or suction pressure should increase not drop, but when the compressor loads up that is when the suction pressure would drop to keep the pressure where it should be 60PSI so it can stay around 4C. As the load decreases or the room temperature drops it will automatically unload. and yes every time the cylinder loads up (or it is doing work) the pressure should drop and when it is NOT doing work the pressure will increase.

[@fesalmodi1909]

I appreciate your time and effort. I have a question please yesterday I had question in my head that what would happen to a compressor if it runs on negative pressure for example ( low pressure switch incorrectly set) so that the compressor below atmospheric pressure runs. many greetings from Germany

[@AirConAcademy]

YES!!!! The low pressure switch is either not set properly or it is bypassed. make sure it is not happening because that will kill a compressor very easily!!! it will run with no refrigerant gas to cool it and it will fail

[@lukmanbakare3195]

Great knowledge shared. THANKS. I will like to exactly how the unloader coil is activated. Does it have anything to do with suction pressure?

[@AirConAcademy]

That is a good question. Some are operated by oil pressure, some are operated by suction pressure, some are by demand. Meaning that if you need more cooling it will load up if you need less cooling it will unload and do less work.

After that, I tested running, but it looks like the compressor is not powered up, even 2 cylinders feel hot. I've tried opening the cylinder cover again and checking that the valve plate is installed correctly, the suction valve is in position. Then the test run again, the result is still the same. Even the capacity valve has been adjusted. clockwise or vice versa, but the compressor is still not powered. my question: can i be helped to find a solution so that the compressor can run normally and can cool down. notes. now i run compressor no two normal and cold.

And how they are used to maintain different pressures and temperatures in evaporators. I'm not sure if this is what you were talking about.

What time solenoid operate . So compressor becomes unloaded From where it get signals. Is it operate by temprature setting

[@AirConAcademy]

There are many different ways to energize and de-energize the solenoid. It can be done with a two or three stage thermostat. It can also be controlled by suction pressure or oil pressure. As the low decreases the suction pressure will drop and the oil pressure will also drop by monitoring this I have seen that they have controlled the loading and unloading of compressors. The easiest way is like I mentioned above by using a thermostat. As the load increases the thermostat would load another bank of cylinders doing more cooling, as the heat low drops it would unload the cylinder so that it is not doing that much work. And do less cooling. I hope this makes sense. I hope this explains it to you. Good luck.

[@AirConAcademy]

Oil is pulled out of the oil sump at the bottom of the compressor, the oil pump that is at the front of the compressor will pump it through the crankshaft, because the crankshaft is hollow, the crankshaft has holes in it where the bearings are, so as the pump pulls the oil out of the oil sump it pumps it into the shaft and through the holes and it lubricates the bearings as it lubricates the oil falls back down to the oil sump to be used again.

Sir, Could you please explain on below also, 1. What is High Suction Superheat? What will be the Problems? Solution? 2. Suction Temperature high and low limits and what problems it may cause? 3. Discharge Temperature limits and problems? 4. Reason for liquid or knocking? Thanks alot Sir.

[@AirConAcademy]

1. High suction superheat is when you have the suction gas coming back to the compressor and it is too warm. If it is too warm, it is not going to call the compressor down like it should and the compressor might overheat and tripped on internal overload. 2. Just like I said, before if you have high temperature on the suction line. It will affect the compressor the valves because of the high superheat may overheat, specially the discharge valve and you could destroy those discharge valves. I'm not sure what you mean by love limits. But if the suction pressure is too low, your compression ratio will be high and that will work the compressor very hard then again, overheat or destroy a compressor. 3. If your temperature is high on the high side, you are going to damage the discharge valves up and they will leak and because of that you compressor is not going to move refrigerant like it should. We need to make sure the compressor stays full so it will last a long time. 3. Typically liquid came back to the compressor is going to give you the liquid knocking you were talking about. If you do not have superheat, then that will cause this problem you're talking about and kill a compressor. That's why you must have the proper amount of superheat. I hope this answers your questions. You should take a look at my webpage, airconacademy.com, where I have some courses and explain all of this. Thank you for watching and for sending these messages over to me. Good luck out there!

@aircon please advise on Walk in Freezer maintenance in 55 degrees Celsius outside temperature

[@AirConAcademy]

Wow! That is very hot! In my area we do not see temperature is that high! Near WASHINGTON DC. My suggestion is to make sure the condenser coil is clean, this way you get rid of as much heat as possible as easy as possible. Another thing I would suggest, and this is typically not done but it is some thing I have found that helps in very high temperatures, that is to run the liquid line and the suction line together and have them insulated. By doing this you are sub cooling the refrigerant even more before it gets to the metering device and you are keeping the refrigerant sub cool. The problem with this is that you will have to monitor the superheat at the compressor to make sure you are not overheating the compressor. As you run the liquid line and suction line together they need to be very well insulated to keep them away from the heat from the ambient air. One other thing I would check to make sure that I do have plenty of airflow on the condenser side so that I can remove as much heat as possible and keep the high side pressure low. I hope this helps and thank you for sending the question.

[@AirConAcademy]

The unloaders on some manufacturers are energized for them to be loaded and on others they have to be de-energized, or another words no power going to them for them to be loaded and doing work. Depending on the age of the unit like an older units, they could be controlled through the thermostat. Then they were controlled through a Honeywell controller and these days they're controlled through circuit boards or computers that control the building temperature. I would start by looking at the schematic and see where the wires go to from the unloaders that are on the compressor. By tracing them back, you can see what is turning them on and off. I wish I could give you more information, but if they're not loading at the moment, you could check to see if they have voltage going to the unloader if they do, you can undo the voltage wires in that should load it up. And you could run it temporarily until you figure out how they are being turned on and off. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching. If you have any other questions, please shoot them my way!

Nice video. What is the point with having a unloader valve on a 1 piston compressor, wouldnt it not be easier or cheaper to start/stop the compressor when the load in the room changes?

[@AirConAcademy]

HA HA!!! I never tough of that about my video!!! In the drawing I am using, or showing a single piston compressor, just to make it easy for everyone to see how it works. But in reality, you are absolutely correct. You would never do that unless you are trying to keep the motor from starting and stopping. A long time ago, and I am talking about 30 years ago or so I did see that at one point. But that was the only time that I saw it, they were stopping the compressor from doing work, instead of stopping the entire motor. These days you would only use an unloader with two or three heads. And you would unload one or two heads and then shut the compressor off when it was satisfied and the last head would not use an unloader. But in the video I am just showing how the unloader works. It was interesting that you picked up on that. Thank you for watching!

@@AirConAcademy That was also my first intuition! Thanks for the answer again!! Keep up the good work. Just to be clear this is cind a the same principale when you are in the field and people are using the therm “the scroll is lifting” when having a digital unloader valve right on a scroll compressor?

[@AirConAcademy]

@@cfcdomino on scroll compressors typically they are set up to operate at 100% or 67% capacity. There is a disc inside that rotates and it opens up some ports to reduce the capacity so the system can dehumidify. As far as I know when the scroll lifts is because there is a problem and it is doing that so that I can bring the temperature down, or to help liquid get through. I'll have to look into it but I don't think they lift to unload. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching!
