Abstract

See full text

A method is provided that includes installing a compressor in a refrigeration system and determining a condenser temperature difference using processing circuitry. The method also includes checking for an overcharge condition or a condenser fan blockage condition when the condenser temperature difference is greater than a high condenser temperature difference value. The method also includes determining a discharge superheat temperature using the processing circuitry and checking for the overcharge condition or the condenser fan blockage condition when the condenser temperature difference is less than the high condenser temperature difference value and the discharge superheat temperature is less than a low discharge superheat temperature value. The method also includes checking for an undercharge condition or an evaporator fan blockage condition when the condenser temperature difference is less than the high condenser temperature difference value and the discharge superheat temperature is greater than a high discharge superheat temperature value. The method also includes completing installation of the compressor when the condenser temperature difference is between the high condenser temperature difference value and the low condenser temperature difference value and the discharge superheat is between the high discharge superheat temperature value and the low discharge superheat temperature value.
