  • THESE COMPRESSOR LOOKS LIKE COPELAND

  • @chepewa65 they all look similar from a distance, with more or less cylinders etc.

  • You dont need to know why it failed the name says it all BITZER biggest piece of garbage on the market. Cant pump 22 for shit and oil log biggest problem with these compressors and oh ya warranty department sucks

  • @NorthernRefrig some people love them, some hate them. they seem like a well built compressor but as you said, oil is a big problem if too much liquid makes its way back and causes foaming.

    that could be due to dirty coils tho, not compressors fault.

  • lucky it didnt start with the discharge valve closed

  • @airlocka it was partly open I found out, but I wouldn't have enough amps to start it anyway.

  • California....Don't try to school me on refrigeration....I appreciate your videos and am not directing this towards you. I am upset with Bitzer their warranty claim their sales.....there direction.....CPS I found works great for Bitzer racks and single Bitzers Compressor protective system. Takes the oil and liquid and dumps from suction to discharge...Only thing that has helped my problems with Bitzers...

  • @Aussie50 I will say they work ok on 404/507 but 22 and their stupid Y137 valve suck..They constant have problems the valve plates are 1/4 thick vs 3/4 copelands and they cant take a slug. One slug and they are history....If you have a supermarket or warehouse Costco you cant tell me dirty coils, doors open stocking no strip curtains...The compressors are not as durable as copeland period. Here in US almost all parts house do not carry Bitzer have to order direct in Georgia not convient for Ca
