Routine Maintenance
Lubrication
CAUTION
Improper servicing of the lubrication system, including the addition of excessive or incorrect oil, substitute quality oil filter,
or any mishandling can damage the equipment. Only authorized and trained service personnel should attempt
this service. For qualified assistance, contact your local Daikin service location.
After the system is once placed into operation, no other additional oil is required except in the event that repair
work becomes necessary to the oil pump, or unless a large amount of oil is lost from the system due to a leak.
If oil must be added with the system under pressure, use a hand pump with its discharge line connected to the
backseat port of the valve in the lubricant drain from the compressor to the sump. See Figure 26 on page 40. The
POE oils used with R-134a are hygoscopic and care must be exercised to avoid exposure to moisture (air).
The condition of compressor oil can be an indication of the general condition of the refrigerant circuit and
compressor wear. An annual oil check by a qualified laboratory is essential for maintaining a high level of
maintenance. It is useful to have an oil analysis at initial startup to provide a benchmark from which to
compare future tests. The local Daikin service office can recommend suitable facilities for performing these
tests.
Table 16 gives the upper limits for metals and moisture in the polyolester lubricants required by Daikin
chillers.
