Carlyle 06D leaking

Rdell16 · Mar 29, 2019

A customer of mine has a bunch of lieberts. The Carlyle compressors in the units are leaking oil from the head bearing gasket, by the oil pump. This problem is only on compressors that are less than 5 years old, some are new. More than half of the compressors have this problem. The gaskets have been changed and still getting significant oil coming out from there. I don’t want to keep changing gaskets if it’s not fixing the problem. Any ideas for solutions would be appreciated.

Have you retrofitted refrigerant,and or followed torque specs when replacing?

How much oil are we talking about?

Any refrigerant leakage?

Where there's oil there's refrigerant, no ?

Is there a support bar from comp to comp mounted on the head bolts? Were the shipping bolts loosened on the compressor mounts as per installation instructions?

I am confused....gaskets were leaking so they were changed and still leaking? No pressure test after they were replaced or they held pressure test and then developed a new leak after running?

What is the “head bearing”?

remanworld · Mar 31, 2019

Are the gaskets metal or fiber? Is it leaking from the gasket area between the bolts or is it leaking up through the bolts? Does the compressor have an oil pressure transducer block mounted on the bearing head or is it just the standard flat plate? Are these OEM compressors or are they remanufactured?
