RJ Traush Rack

[engineerdave]

Went to look at a prospective new account yesterday. Split temp rack, R-22. Mfr lable says P.O.E. oil? Guess I must've missed that thread....?

I dont think I saw that thread either.

Trausch rack= bad purchase. I didnt know they ever made racks.. pirates.

[engineerdave]

I never heard of them until yesterday. Didn't know we run P.O.E. with 22 until yesterday either. What am I getting myself into?

[innovator]

I always removed the factory POE charge and replaced with Zerol 150 when replacing any R-22 machine... I guess I was wasting my time!

Is it a true RJ trausch built rack? If so this is a first for me... do you know if they really charged with POE????

[engineerdave]

I only know what the stickers on the dashboard said. We haven't picked up that account yet, so no wrenches on the job. Mfr Date was 2001.

Not common, but it's out there. When doing conversions from 22 to 404 we change to POE first and run it for a month. Does a job of cleaning everything and plugging oil seperators! But they all run fine with 22, it's just a cost thing.
AB-150 is about $20
POE is about $50

This Rack is six years old and has had compressors replaced. One MT unit was off on Oil Fail when I was there, but I did not diagnose. (Under pretty strict marchin' orders....:o ) What can I expect to see if P.O.E. and AB are mixed?
