Semi-Hermetic HVAC Compressor Rebuild Shop

Semi-Hermetic HVAC Compressor Rebuild Shop - These old semi-hermetic HVAC compressors are destined for the rebuild shop where they will see new life one day in a chiller or DX air conditioning system. If a business loses a compressor for whatever reason (usual burnout) they have the option of ordering a new compressor from the factory or calling a rebuild shop to see if they have a rebuilt reciprocating compressor that will replace the old one, or rebuild the bad compressor. This leaves the business the option of finding the best value or cost for replacing the compressor. These are semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors and can be torn down and rebuilt completely nearly like new ones.

These HVAC compressors are old inoperable compressors. They are semi-hermetic compressors and are easily rebuilt whereas hermetic compressors are not rebuilt. These air conditioning compressors are used mainly in commercial applications for DX cooling. Many of these air conditioning compressors have either failed mechanically or electrically. A technician performed compressor troubleshooting and determined they failed for one reason or another. They are stored because they can be easily rebuilt. If a service company finds a failed compressor in an old HVAC air conditioner they call the compressor company to see if the company has one in stock.

The compressor rebuilding company checks their stock and if they do in fact have the compressor in stock they pull it from the rack. The air conditioner compressor is pulled off the rack, disassembled, cleaned, and all new parts are replaced. It is reassembled and painted to look new. It is delivered to the location where the failed air conditioner compressor was discovered and is installed in the old failed air conditioning compressor’s place. The old failed air conditioning compressor is placed back on the rack where the newly rebuilt compressor used to sit.
