19 Fa teardown (three piece bull gear)

[DITAW]

just got done a Fa #5 set screws broke in bull gear and fell into oil pump. drilled out set screws and tapped to 3/8" with one solid set screw then TIG welded the screws in and ground flush. have pictures but don't know where or how to post them. The bull gear is made of three pieces the hub and the two helical gears it is pressed on and drilled on the center line and set screws are put in . only know of one other chiller that has this type of gear i don't think there are to many out there.

I only worked on one, had to remove the motor to install new sensors. There is only 2 in this area. They are both at a nuclear plant and still using r12.

this one is r-134a and the other one is 12 there was another company taking care of this machine and there was a problem with the starter it would start and stop consecutively during start up and i think that starting stopping starting torque sheared the set screws. pretty interesting they let it do it for as long as they did

LOL, but they "saved" money on fixing the starter.

I was wondering who you worked for.I work for Carrier in Rochester,N.Y..I haven't torn down a fa closest beast would be a 17EX.I haven't seen any updated litature on the fa problems like the one your talking about.Was this a problem from the factory or application problem???

[heavymetaldad]

can i ask what you have on the motor barrel lift lugs. always trying to use new ideas.

[DITAW]

two pieces of 3/8 steel with a two holes . the i bolt the two to the motor lugs and put a bolt through the top two hole for my picking point. works pretty good

[heavymetaldad]

y not just use the lugs?

I work for Herman Goldner out of Philadelphia a lot of the techs are ex-carrier guys, i think this machine is a ex i just said Fa cause that is the style comp. but i don' t think it is a factory problem. the machine had some "starting issues" and i think the torque from the issues caused this.

didn't actually make them for that particular application, but i had them on that job so i just tried them out really didn't need them
