When a reciprocating compressor is sweating at the crankcase?

It is flooding liquid back to the crankcase


What is the difference in a pump and compressor?

they have different names A Pump is a mechanical device which transfers Liquid from a lower point to a higher point.Eg: Centrifugal pump,Rotary pump,Reciprocating pump. A Compressor is a high pressure mechanical device which basically compressors air/gas Well, a compressor compresses a gas and a pump moves a liquid. Compressors are often used in refrigeration applications where gas is transformed into a liquid and vice-versa, so the main task for the compressor is not to move the gas but to compress it.


Which component can be used to displace the liquid in a reciprocating pump?

i would say the piston


What component changes the freon from liquid tyo gas?

compressor


What is liquid slugging of the compressor?

Large quantities of liquid refrigerant enter the compressor and then mix with the lubricating oil in the compressors sump.


What is the reasons of Reciprocating compressors failure?

their are many reasons a compressor can fail (refrigeration) 1 low oil level due to low suction pressures or oil wash out due to liquid flooding back to the compressor 2 wrong supper heat setting on tx valve system3 wrong size compressor for the load 4 under or over voltage5bad starting or running cap or start relay and the list goes on....


What is the difference between reciprocating pump and reciprocating compressor?

Though these words may be used interchangeably, there is a difference. A pump is a motor designed to move fluids (whether gas or liquid). A compressor is a kind of pump that has a motor that forces air molecules closer together to pack more matter in a smaller volume. Gases are the only things that are compressable where pumps deal more with liquids (mainly water) although there are air pumps. More.. Pumps are used to move liquids of all kinds not just water. They can be driven by electric motors, steam turbines, wind power etc. Compressors move gasses. We sometimes use what is called a tire pump to inflate bicycle tires but it is actually a hand powered compressor.


How can you safely do a pump down home split cycle air conditioning system in cold weather?

You will front seat the liquid line and operate the unit until the low side is in a vacuum. I have done so in temps as low as 50F, below this, I might run the heater in the home to insure that vapor is coming to the compressor, not liquid, todays compressors not being piston type handle this task much better than the old reciprocating type compressor.


What does a car condensor do?

It cools the liquid refrigerant after it is compressed from gas to a liquid from the compressor.


What is the purpose of a crankcase heater on a compressor?

to prevent liquid refrigerant from staying in the compressor after shut down


What is the device in a refrigeration system that causes the refrigerant to go from a liquid to a gas is the?

orifice


How much liquid should be allowed in the suction line when charging?

absolutely none. there is almost no more sure way to wreck a compressor than allowing liquid into the compressor.
