If you have enough oil in the accumulator to reach the top the removed compressor would have no oil left in it.
If your reversing valve is stuck in the middle guess what ?
Nothing in equals nothing out.

 

[VTP99]

Yep but the valve is correct and if it's stuck dead center you'll get nothing where as if it's shifted all the way to the left or right it will bypass.

Here let me fix that 😆

A stuck rv would still pass refrigerant in my opinion.

How if it's stuck in the middle ?
But you are correct that some scrolls will internally bypass at on low pressure.

 

[VTP99]

Of course it's going to go into a vacuum if the discharge is cut off. It's not any different than a pump down system. But some of the Copeland scrolls won't allow that to happen. I've come across them when removing condensing units and trying to pump them down. They'll get to about 20psig then internally bypass.

 

[VTP99]

Why would it pump down? The pressure relief is internal. Anyway the rv's never block any port completely when they stick unless he's got some oddball rv on there.

If there is no discharge gas leaving how could it not pump down until the relief opens. Some will pump down I've come across them running in a vacuum.
I'm not sure how many different types or styles there are and looking at this particular one you are correct would still appear to leave a bypass.

 

[VTP99]

Is there no true suction port ? I'll have to reread the thread. How about a model number ? I know most heat pumps with reciprocating compressors have a accumulator but scrolls not so much.

 

[VTP99]

Where is this guy 🤔
Sounds like to much speculation and not enough answers.

 

[VTP99]

:toetap:

 

[VTP99]

Maybe a mod could move this ....

 

[VTP99]

Can we get a make & model ?

 

[VTP99]

Thanks Ken the same poster already has a thread going in tech to tech maybe you could merge them.
Thanks

 

[VTP99]

Why can't we get a make & model number ? Is this some big secret ? :gah:

 

[VTP99]

Damn it's like pulling teeth 😆

 

[VTP99]

Apparently Not !

 

[VTP99]

crmont can you get us the make and model ? thanks

 

[VTP99]

That's nonsense I'm beginning to believe you've got something to hide.

 

[VTP99]

Lol!! Nope I can't. But a scroll with an accumulator and the low side port on the wrong side... that's gotta be a rheem.

I thought it was always the Gooman 🤣

These questions regarding this particular issue should usually make things apparent that Mods. and Sers. have no influence or change to their responses . Just Saying.

So we can take that as you will not provide us with that information, correct ?
