Floodbacks dilute crankcase oil and contribute to oil leaving the compressor and settling in the Evaporator coils. The decision to add Oil Traps should be made after judging system performance once all required repairs, maintenance, adjustments, and operational testing have been completed. 10. The insulation on the refrigerant lines has mostly failed, allowing much condensation and mold accumulation. 11. This Domestic Refrigeration System uses Hot Gas Defrosting. 12. The adjustable foundation frame of No.2 Compressor, which uses screw tightening for adjusting belt tension, has collapsed inward. Ship's Force will need to crop out and replace this portion of the foundation frame before operational testing of No.2 Compressor can begin. . F. Work Schedule: 1 March 2010 through 31 May 2010 G.
