147OIL CHARGEPuron systems use a polyolester (POE) oil. Use only Carrierapproved compressor oil. Table 68 lists indicates the factory oilcharge per compressor and the cold oil recharge amount.Use only Carrier approved compressor oil. Oil should bevisible in compressor oil sight glass. An acceptable oil level isfrom 1/8 to 3/8 of sight glass. All compressors must be off whenchecking oil level. Oil levels above the recommended levelcan lead to poor system performance.Adding Oil — Add oil to the oil equalizer Schrader valve ontandem compressor sets and the compressor Schrader valve ontrio and single compressor circuits. (See Fig. 175 and 176.)When oil can be seen at the bottom of the sight glass, add oil in5 oz (0.15 L) increments, each of which is approximately 1/8 in.(3.2 mm) oil level. Run all compressors for 20 minutes, thenshut off to check oil level. Repeat procedure until acceptable oillevel is present.NOTE: Use only Carrier approved compressor oil.

Digital com-pressor model numbers start with ZPD.CAUTIONThe compressor in a Puron® refrigerant (R-410A) systemuses a polyolester (POE) oil. This is extremely hygro-scopic, meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils canabsorb 15 times as much water as other oils designed forHCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary precau-tions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere. Failureto do so could result in possible equipment damage.UNITCIRCUIT A CIRCUIT BCOMPRESSOR* QTYOIL CHARGE PERCOMPRESSOR, oz. (L) COMPRESSOR* QTYOIL CHARGE PERCOMPRESSOR, oz.
