There are three wires with different color that go on the compressor. Do you know which color goes to which male pin which is located on the compressor? Thanks for your help
Usually the compressor is marked as well with the board.. U, V, W terminals… I’m not sure if all manufacturers use the same color code.. take a look on the wire diagram
Hi, What are the normal min/max temps for a 12,000 BTU inverter mini split compressor?.. What temps the actual metal it's made of gets to I mean. Has anyone tried using those Butyl sound deadening pads (that are used on cars) on a compressor, and or, insides of the case on the outdoor unit?.. Apparently Butyl pads can "withstand temperatures as low as -75°F (-50°C) and as high as 250°F (120°C)". I want to quiet it down a bit. I've got one of the rectangle type mini splits, not the big American types, so there won't be a lot of room, probably nowhere near enough to use a compressor sound jacket thing - but maybe enough to slap some Butyl pad material on it.
Not sure of the minimum maximum temps… mini splits are usually very quiet.. if the outside unit is mounted on the wall..( air brace ) made install rubber isolation pads in between the unit and the support bracket
@@hvacwithdrewman98 Ah OK. No one seems to know the normal temps of compressors. Yeah, the outdoor unit is on a concrete block with rubber mounts. When I first turned it on there was some component touching the outer case on the outdoor unit which made a horrid rattling noise. I had to take the top off and pry whatever it was back enough to shove some dense foam in-between it and the case. I'll open it up properly soon and see if I can bend whatever that is back away from the wall - it might help shut it up.
@@Lloyd.B. the temperature of the compressor is really the discharge temp and each manufacturer has its own.. but when the discharge temp climbs above 250 you start breaking down the oil inside
@@hvacwithdrewman98 Thanks, so it’s highly unlikely a rightly working compressor would go above 250F. What about normal discharge temp minimums - roughly?.. I have no clue, I imagine when it’s heating it will get hot, and cooling it will get cold. I imagine when the gas gets to the evaporator it's never going to be -50F, but for all I know it could get that cold in the compressor.
@@Lloyd.B. heat pumps… doesn’t matter if it’s heat cooling.. the compressor always pulls low pressure and pumps out high pressure.. higher the pressure the higher the temperature… depends on how hot / cold the home is… if it’s low on charge ( Freon) the higher he discharge temperature would be
I gotta replace a compressor in one of these tomorrow. Looks pretty straight forward! Thanks!
Gotta do the same tomorrow 💪 warrenty work.
Thanks for the video what make was that I got a Samsung one to replace
That one is a carrier unit
great job finding the leaker
Thanks brother
A new unit might be cheaper
Parts were under warranty.. so it was cheaper to repair
Nice video
Thanks for sharing
Thanks, glad you like it
