When examining the ammonia refrigeration plant: 1-It was found that the suction pressure and the discharge pressure of compressor No. 1 were equal very quickly, and this indicates that there was a break in the spring of the non-return valve. 2- The compressor discharge pressure is high, so the cooling tower was inspected and it was found that there was a leak from the mechanical seal of the Recycling pump. 3- The amount of oil in the liquid separator trap is high, so the oil will be expelled and we want to change the oil separator cartridges as soon as possible.
Problem solving procedure:
1-Verify that the spring is available in the spare parts store. 2-Making a vacuum for the compressor from itself or from another compressor and close the suction and discharge valves. 3- Change the non-return valve spring, clean the intake filter and oil filter, and clean the strainer on the oil pump 4- The spare pump has been installed, and the mechanical seal and repair kit for the entire pump are being changed
Action Taken 1-Done
2-Done 3- Separator cartridges will be changed on Friday
