What are the effects of charging too much refrigerant into the compressor?
The compressor can be said to be the "heart" of the entire refrigeration equipment. Its importance is self-evident. There are many factors that affect the performance of the compressor, among which the appropriate amount of refrigerant added is one of the key factors. Here is a brief list of the effects of adding too much refrigerant to the compressor.
1. Excessive refrigerant filling will increase the load of the compressor, increase the condensing temperature, and at the same time increase the condensing pressure, and increase the working current of the compressor;
2. Increasing the load of the compressor, the refrigeration effect is reduced, the current is too large, and in severe cases, the compressor can be burned;
3. If too much is added, the refrigerant density is too large, the work required by the compressor increases, the unit efficiency decreases, and the power consumption increases.
