it ate itself yet the outside looks new lol those are built like a tanks you could drop it of a building and it will probably go through the fucking earth lil
I am commenting on a 1/1/2 year old video, sorry. I found it very cool and interesting. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest USA. Where I grew up farmers would use a propane fired heaters to dry grain. They did this to bring the moisture count under a certain percentage. They would be on the outside of the grain bin connected with duct work and fire under a perforated floor. Very common to have to dry corn in the area. Propane can be expensive, seems like that would be cheaper than using propane gas. Cool video on the setup and failed compressor.
Thanks! We look after one site where the refrigeration system is supplemented with a propane heater, frightening when it fires up as no safety guards etc haha
Look at the oil strainer in the video as it looks almost totally clogged with sediment would lead me to believe that is where the problem began because of lack of oil pressure, I've seen many of these failures over the years even up to where crankshafts have broken in half. I am not dismissing your diagnosis by any means but as I said judging by the the oil strainer condition in the video I would have started there.
heavydiesel i'm repair copeland like this too, with refigant R22. But i want to ask u sir.. what oil type to used copeland like this? suniso 3gs/4gs/5gs or emkarate?
What a mess in that crankcase from one silly nut. I'm so glad to see some new vids from you! Did you get a new camera? I could never hear you talking in your older videos but this one is nice and clear!! Keep up the good work HD...
Harry Dickson Yes it always surprises me the motor has enough power to do all the damage, but i guess a 20hp motor probably has 80hp worth of torque when stalled.
Good video. Thanks for Up this type of vídeos. Greetings from Mexico. Qué tal recibe un cordial saludo desde México, buen video, gracias por compartir.
today i faced broken 3/6 con rods. i may say the nut problem as secondary problem. and main cause could be the flood back and oil level switch. none of electrician can verify the accumulator and the oil switch.
Dan Gunson Thats what i wondered to start with as this machine sits idle for months until the harvesting season, but the valves were all good so i don't think any significant amounts of liquid got in the bores. I think one of the bearing cap nuts came loose and because someone had bypassed the oil safety switch there was nothing to stop the compressor from wrecking itself.
