Capacitor Assemblies



 -   Relay & Capacitor Assemblies:
 
Relay and Cap Assemblies are required to start single phase Compressors.  They allow compressors to start up under a load.  They consist of a relay and starting capacitor for compressors that have Induction Run Windings.  However on Capacitor Run Models, a running capacitor is requires.  The relay has a coil and a set of normally closed contacts where the starting capacitor is removed from the circuit after the Compressor has started and has produced enough voltage between the common terminal and the start terminal to energize coil in the relay. This voltage that is produced in all electric motors while running and is called Electro-Motive Force ( EMF).

The starting capacitor is usually the plastic capacitor and is in the circuit for only a second or less This really advances the field inside the motor so it has the torque needed to start.  It is always best to have a Bleed Down Resistor of between 15,000 and 18,000 Ohms of resistance attached. This will expand its life and will also help the relay contacts by removing some of the arch that takes place when the contacts open.  It will always have a higher MFD ( microfarad) reading than the Run Capacitor.

Running Capacitors are usually metal and are wired to the Start and Run terminals all the time. This advances the field inside the motor slightly which in turn reduces the amperage draw lowering the heat produced in the motor.

The failure of any one of these can mimic a bad compressor that fails to start.  It has been my experience that usually the Relay and Starting Capacitor should be replaced first because the Running Capacitor very rarely fails.  Replacing the Relay and Starting Capacitor should always be done before changing the compressor.  For the relatively small expense it is money well spent.

Pump Down Systems require a Liquid Line solenoid, a thermostat and, in most cases, a time clock.  In addition, the condensing unit must have a Low Pressure Switch and Receiver Tank. The liquid suction line is wired through the thermostat and time clock so when the box is satisfied or it is time to defrost it drops power to the solenoid causing the system to start a pump down where all the refrigerant is pumped into the condenser and receiver tank as the suction pressure drops.  The low pressure switch shuts down the system.

This design has two advantages:
1.    In the startup mode, the solenoid opens and the low pressure switch starts the compressor up, there is less chance of a Slug of liquid damaging the compressor.
2.    Defrosting the coil is made easier and faster because there is no liquid refrigerant in the evaporator to boil off first before the ice can melt.

Remember, in this type of set up the only things that cuts the compressor off is the low pressure switch and any other safety device such as the Oil Safety Switch.

  1. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your
    article seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I'm not sure if this is a
    formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The layout look great though! Hope you get the
    issue resolved soon. Cheers

  2. A Clever Way to locate Totally free Grownup Chat Rooms!


    Chatting on the internet is hugely popular. The problem is there are
    very few free adult forums where we can easily discuss adult
    topics. Due to their popularity, webmasters increasingly choose to charge for
    your service. In this article, you will understand the way to easily find hundreds of these chat communities,
    many of which are entirely free.
    It is now nearly impossible to find good places for
    adults to speak. Most of this is because of the spread of instant messengers, virtual worlds, and
    social support systems. The few good chat sites available are generally full or, worse still, full and intent on asking you
    to pay a membership fee. To most of us, it seems like
    the periods of good, fun, lively free places for adults on an adult chat are gone.

    Thankfully, there's a significant clever method for us to
    still find good rooms.
    All from the big dating communities offer their members free adult boards.

    Now, I'm sure you happen to be thinking, "Yes, and these online dating sites also ask you for a membership of those free rooms!" This is not always the case.
    Many such chat communities cost nothing, others are free but
    have limited features for the non-paying members, while others still
    give a cost-free service for females.
    The attractiveness of joining a big, well-known dating community is basically that you
    get given use of a massive adult chatting community that has hundreds, sometimes thousands of people utilizing it at a single
    time. Better yet, their rooms often offer users the ability to hook of
    their webcams. So you could possibly be chatting away in a room and have a chance to click on a profile and watch them on his
    or her webcam, too!

  3. Yoou really make it seem realply easy along with your presentation howwver I to
    find this mater to be really one thing which Ibelkieve I'd by no means understand.
    It seems too complicated and veery wide for me. I am looking ahead in your next
    publish, I will attempt to get the cling of it!
