REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR VALVE PLATE, HOW TO KNOW IT IS BROKEN? | REEFER CONTAINER

[@kabarotv6933]

New videos from leckyjake every weekend is now part of my life. I always learn new things and thank you. More videos more knowledge to learn.

[@leckyjake]

Thank you kabaro

OK lang Pala kahit hindi na mag vaccum?

Hi Mark, ideal practice is i vacuum ang system and palit filter drier. Pero yung diskarteng pogi is isolate the healthy system and then pag napalitan na open mo discharge side para yung pressure is enough par itulak palabas ng refrigerant ang hangin sa crankcase.

[@andrewschaefer8863]

A common cause of broken valve plates is you are getting liquid refrigerant back to the compressor. I know you are a busy man on that ship but i would try and diagnose the root cause of the broken valve plate that way it will stop happening. Also, I would really recommend pulling that compressor into a vacuum after you had it open to atmosphere. If that compressor has P.O.E oil in it and air gets into it you can start to form acid and it will break down the motor windings. I know you are a busy man on that ship and im not trying to sound snood. Just lending a few tips from a person who works on refrigeration equipment for a living. I really enjoy your videos keep up the good work!

[@PureMetalRider]

I was thinking the same thing. Pulling a vacuum also ensures no moisture makes it to the expansion device and causing yet another problem.

[@LaserUbermensch]

I did some digging on starcool. They use r290 which is propane, so its legal (if not safe) to vent to atmosphere. They also use polyolester oil, which is hygroscopic. I'd pull a vacuum before I charged it just to remove any water vapor.

[@stueyknuxx]

@@LaserUbermensch 6:38 in video, sticker clearly says under compressor R134a, ALWAYS pull a vacuum when you open the compressor to atmosphere, ALWAYS !

Amazing that you have the spare part for this and that the system is serviceable like that.

[@leckyjake]

So lucky to have spare

[@felixodhiambo6520]

Thanks Jake,i have learnt something

[@AaronMacEwen]

one tip - i wrap the econ pipe with a rag so the debris from the insulation doesn't fall on to the new gasket surface. the insulation gets brittle and flakes off when you remove the VP.

[@marinongmarinero1731]

He is the real deal. Actual troubleshooting that you are doing is giving me a much clearer view on what should I do if I am on yout shoes.

[@leckyjake]

Thank you very much

[@osmankaya9664]

I learn something new in every video. Thank you Sir. I look forward to more videos from you. Plz keep safe.

[@walterdarvin9983]

It is better to recover the freon rather than releasing to atmosphere and carry out vacuum after boxing up compressor to be moisture free. Too many procedures, only one person, too many reefer containers. One after the other babies keeps crying, difficult to make systematically, can understand well good and informative video

[@salemhunid9482]

[@nopatience1417]

You are excellent at your job and they lucky to have you,do you ever have a unit you couldn’t fix (no parts)what do you do then when you’re at sea

[@NivagSwerdna]

It would be interesting to know what spares you carry (and how many)... I imagine being at sea without a spare would be a major issue or is there built in redundancy as well?

[@kyryl5673]

Hi, Jake! In a such a case: LP v/v plate in doubt, there is in Menu can be performed Function test for the Compressor only (Pre Trip Inspection) and if it will Fail you can get Alarm: 840 - Valve Leaks. During investigation i do this action, it seems to me this one of rapid way. All the rest i do the same. Best regards and good luck!

[@Anzarvitalbio]

Function test is only available in thermoking reefers, and pre trip inspection is not allowed in units with cargo inside, PTI TEST can be performed only when preparing reefer to enter service in PTI area with empty reefers.

[@geenumaxy9370]

[@norlitomembrebe7577]

Good day sir! I just want to ask if it is ok to open the compressor with the system without vacuuming it? You opened the LP valve plate which, made the compressor exposed to air. Will not the pressure be affected by this? Thank you, sir.

[@vish-v7]

Bro! You should use gopro cam mounted on helmate and a head torch, so that you can work and shoot without inconvenience.

[@tjairicciardi9747]

First of all you can easy hear difference of the sound of compressor with broken valves on valve plate, espacially on high frequency.

[@eagletek1]

Great job 👌

[@patricioaguayo9088]

Please post a video on pumping down the low side to replace filter drier, thank you sir.

[@BeenThrDunThat]

It seems obvious now that it would be your responsibility to maintain the cooling systems on refrigerated units. But it didn't cross my mind originally. That would seem to imply that you have to do daily rounds to check on each unit? Or do they alert when in trouble? How many refrigerated containers are typical?

[@leckyjake]

Yup, the highest number I had was 1400 refrigerared containers. It is actually my main job onboard.

[@BeenThrDunThat]

@@leckyjake impressive!

[@leckyjake]

Thank you and Keepsafe always

[@russ1669]

Yes it was an eye opener for me as well. I assumed you just maintained the ships systems. Does the company then charge the service fee to the owner of container or is this all part of the shipping cost?

[@BrettWae]

Surprised you didn't pull a vacuum before open the system back up to the compressor? What caused the valves to fail? Could be a liquid slug?

[@MikeF1189]

I like this video without background music.

[@proksalevente]

How come you didn't pull a vacuum on the compressor, and didn't verify the correct charge amount after adding refrigerant?

[@leckyjake]

I have 268 refrigerated container onboard and 7 of them are malfunctioning. 1. 2 Evap fan motor 2. Shorted power cable 3. Burn contactor 4. Power card 5. High pressure system 6. This chilled cargo with broken valve plate I just need to fix all as fast as I can.

So if low side doesn't pull a vacuum when it's low sided.. most likely valve is broken in the head... cus it's suppose to pull a vacuum once you front seat the low side right?

You have to if you missed to isolate the system and sometimes need to change the filter drier as well as to my case I completely isolated the system just before I open the head and purge completely the system.

kung nag vavacuum at tumataas ang discharge pressure pwede mong i check ang filter drier. compare mo ang inlet at outlet ng filter drier kung equal ang temperature, kapag equal then ok anfg fd mo pero pag unequal then need mo palitan. in case ok ang FD mo then open mo evaporator mo and check kung nag yeyelo ang evaporator at txv kung may yelo maaring hindi nagbubukas ang txv mo, or kung may solenoid siya before txv baka di nagbubukas yung solenoid valve mo
