Compressor repair: Reception

As soon as a compressor arrives it is immediately examined. This process is done in various stages:

The compressor is stripped down piece by piece, down to its shell.
The components are examined to ensure that they meet the manufacturer's tolerances.
Those that don't meet the tolerances are replaced with new components.
Recoal has the necessary equipment such as high precision metrology tools to verify and guarantee the components tolerances.

Compressor repair: Quotation

We provide a complete list of the components to be replaced such as pistons, connecting rods, gaskets, adjustments and hand labour.

We issue a report on the possible breakdown of the compressor...... a seizure, liquid slugging, phase fault, etc

Collection and delivery service:

RECOAL EUROPA offiers the collection and delivery service of the compressors to be repaired, without charge for repairs above 1.000 Euros. For repairs below 1.000 Euros, we offier you our special transport rate, which cost is added to the final invoice. (This service is only available for Spain Peninsula and Baleares Islands)

Warranty: 1 year, for any assembly default.

However, the guaranty will not apply in the following circumstances:

- Outstanding payment of goods.

- Damages such as liquid slugging, excess oil, lack of oil(motor seizure), dysregulation in the refrigerating system.

- Acidity.

- Phase fault, brownout, surge or frequency failure.

- Improper handling of the starting system.

- General electrical faults, except in some exceptional cases prior examination.

- The thermistors are not covered at all.

The repairs under warranty do not include the transport costs.

When a compressor arrives at Recoal, it is completely stripped down and examined. The customer later receives a report indicating the cause and type of default found . The compressor will either be repaired, at no charge to the customer, if applicable, or otherwise be supplied with a remanufactured compressor.

We do not store compressors for over 30 days. The storage exceeding this 30 day period will be charged at 6 euros per day since arriving, including the initial 30 days.

Quality control Our compressors are tested and go through a quality control process whereby all parts are ensured to satisfy all functioning needs according to manufacturer's standards. Our compressors must fulfill all quality controls before they are shipped. We pursue to provide the highest standards of quality.

A compressor never leaves our premises without having passed all quality control tests.

Payment methods:

- New and one time customers payment upfront.

- Regular customers are granted a credit line.

Compressor repair: Cleaning

The cleaning of all components and body is one of the most important stages in the remanufacturing of refrigerating compressors.

We use air jets to clean up the compressors, as well as a special product for this purpose wich is enviromentally safe, it doesn't pollute and it is dissoluble. This cleaning process removes all the oil, grease and paint waste whilst obtaining the compressor's original apprearance that facilitates the paints adherence..

Compressor repair: Machining

For all compressors with scratched cylinders , whether they have clearances in the cylinder or other kind of incidence in the engine body, we have the tools for machining the bodies to insert pistons and over sized connecting rods, lining cylinders; and replace the original tolerances.

We do the machining our compressor need, to adjust it exactly to the same tolerances as the manufacturer's. We do not hire the machining service from other companies. This is done in our shop.

Compressor repair: Winding

The burned compressors or mass derivatives, are winded anew in the exact way and precision the manufacturer's do ensuring proper working order.

We use prime quality materials and completely compatible with the freons and the oil used in the cooling industry. The enamelled wires type “H”, polymerization varnishes by heat as well as prime quality tapes and moorings, guaranty together with our varnishing process by vacuo immersion and hot air oven drying process, a quality rate in the adherence, isolation and protection of the coils comparable to those from origin.

Compressor repair: Assembly

Before reassembling the engine, all components are checked to prevent any kind of errors or placing faulty components. This is done with the help of precision tools that we have available in our workshop.

All screws in the compressor are pressed with the correct pair of torsion according to brand and model, with the help of special dynomometric tools.

Compressor repair: Painting

Once the testing is complete the compressor is sprayed with a protection coat against external agents, varnished and painted.

Compressor repair: Testing

Once the compressor has been reassembled it goes through a series of tests where we control and verify factors such as individual consumption per phase, oil pressure, etc Once the compressor has passed all these tests and ensured it's in good working order, it goes through a leak detection.

Then the compressor is vaccumed and exerted with high pressure dry nitrogen to ensure the absence of moisture.

Compressor repair: Expedition

The compressor is packed for dispatch, arriving at destination in aprox. 24 hours.

Compressor repair: Warranty

The warranty for remanufactured and repaired compressors is 1 year for any assembly default.

The warranty will not apply in the following circumstances:
