Question:

Is the compressor of refrigerator or air conditioner dangerous?

Is there any possibility of explosion in the compressor of the refrigerator or air conditioner? How will explode, how to stop such accidents happen?.Please answer the professionals in this area, thank you.

Answer:

As long as the operation is safe, there are no problems at all. If the security is not guaranteed, nothing will be done
Explosion, I met onceDuring the inspection, the compressor terminal broke out and a big black smoke came outThe way to avoid this is to strictly implement the maintenance procedureNormal use has not yet heard of an explosion
First of all, any electrical appliance is in dangerCompression and machines are also dangerous and will explode, but the possibility is very small, and even if the explosion, because its internal pressure is smaller, the power is not large, so Louzhu do not have to worry too much.
The compressor of the air conditioner or refrigerator is not in itself dangerous. The compressor itself is a compressed air device, either rotating, screw, piston or centrifugal. Unless the quality of the machine itself has serious quality problems, however, the work has rarely occurred over the years. Because the machines have protective functions.When the machine uses single power, such as circuit connection error, the machine can not normally start, after the machine starts, if there is a circuit breaker, the machine current overload, machine short circuit, circuit breaker will automatically power-off. The compressor itself has a temperature protection switch, the machine temperature is too high, will automatically protect, stop.When the machine uses three items of electricity, the circuit breaker also has the function of self-protection, two FireWire short circuit, the machine current is too large, will protect.Of course, if there is no circuit breaker, the machine can not explode, the short circuit will cause the automatic protection of the total power supply,But the current overload will burn the compressor.When the compressor works, the exhaust pipe will produce high temperature and high pressure gas, if leaked, easy to burn people, the evaporator will have low temperature work fluid, leakage easily frostbite people. These conditions occur only when the distance between the compressor and the compressor is close. The refrigerant in the compressor is very easy to be gasified. A certain distance will be ok.Be sure not to heat the machine with fire. The heating of the closed circuit will cause danger.
