All right, so the last video was a reset. This is a scroll compressor and this one has the diagnosis of not pumping, which is the most fun to cut open, to see what we get. So it was a warrantee compressor and they manufacture. So here we go.

I'm gon na pull that apart and see what we got alright. So we've got these bolts loosened 8 millimeter, 8 millimeter, 8, 2 millimeter, 8, millimeter crachit. There's a lot a lot of stuff inside this compressor, grating material. All over the place.

Remember this thing's all sealed up. No man, I got pieces falling out every place. There's the top scroll doesn't look too bad. The inside school doesn't look that either.

So we do have some where and copper plating inside this top. Bearing point it's hard for you to see in there, but there's definitely some copper plating and we're inside there. It's got some major scoring right inside there. I'm not sure exactly what that is, because I'm no inside of a scroll expert, but we've definitely got some major damage here.

It is yeah because there's the other side of it. Oh wow, this whole piece is broken interesting. When mess has broken that it said, compressor not pumping, but I'm gon na bet that we also had a winding burn out there. I'm gon na put the maker on this and see what we get, because I think this is also a burnout.

I don't think it is I I know it is, and so I found these three pieces so far and I was looking in here and this is a real mess inside of here. Originally I saw that the diagnosis on this was compressed or not pumping, but then I got looking into the call notes and we tested and it did find acid. So we did this the whole acid protocol and all that jazz at least that's good, because I was worried at first like no geez hope it didn't, leave up and burn out system. It's looking here.

I found another piece that's jammed down in and I can almost bet you that piece that was jammed down in there with the windings is what caused the motor to then short out. So we had a combination of a compressor with a mechanical failure that led to I'm sure all this mess. You can look down in here and you can see there's just windings and crunchy nests and gross nests all inside there yucky dirty oil. Okay, so you can see these these pieces used to go around this compressor they're like this, and you can see here where it's scored some point.

This whole thing just broke apart and then started bouncing around in there, and you know truthfully. You know, regardless of whether or not that caused the initial lockup when that thing, when these pieces mounts around in there and get jammed in then that definitely did cause it to lock up and then burn up again we're not seeing it inside this compressor inside this Scroll you're, not seeing any you know major copper plating or anything, nothing real abnormal. You know the tips of the scroll are still in place, tip seals. It all looks alright, but at some point, probably most likely due to lubrication that ring broke, fell down in and got all crunched up with the scrolls.

There's not a whole lot else to pull off. You can see they're dimpled and the outer shell there and those dimples hold this this whole assembly in and it's all just pressed in there. But you can look in there enough to see that motor is just toast. You get the same sort of terminals that you have on a reciprocating compressor right here and get these off pretty simple, but you can imagine if these you know made a bad connection or if there was a lot of overeating.

These could even melt and that's what causes the fuse like to have terminal venting. That's that there's a thermal overload in there we're gon na go ahead and do a cutaway on this later on we're gon na cut out. You know the side of it substantially. You know cut a section out so that way you can see a little a little more clearly, but you can't see here just to show you the inside of the scrolls here these two Scrolls fit into each other, and then you have this orbiting action.

So this is the bottom part: that's attached to the motor and it does this sort of orbiting. I don't know if I'm doing them right, yeah like that, so it just kind of does this sort of orbiting action and then that's how it compresses draws in through this large port here on the side, that's what it draws in and then it discharges out through The center seals up to the top here and then that's up and out and then this is our bypass. So if it goes in the bypass that relief can open and allow hot gas to travel out and then back into the suction side kind of unloads it at least that's my understanding again. This is the first scroll that I fully torn down.

I've seen they got something before, but this is the first one I've actually taken apart myself. So hopefully that was interesting, I'm Brian with the HVAC school podcast, thanks for watching.
