How to change oil in a rotary compressor?

Maybe the flash point (the temp at the TXV) is lower, for R-22, and so it tends to make a frozen spot, which spreads and covers the evap?

No proof. Just pulling ideas out of the sky.

Its not as bad as it looks on TV. :)

I got back last night around midnight after leaving the Sioux Falls area at 5:30am. Ran in over eight hundred miles of pouring down rain and a cross wind that was unbelievable. All in all it was a good trip and we logged over 3200 miles.

You can use ordinary propane from the gas cooker bottle as it is same press ure PT as R22 then no need to change the oil at all. Have done this for ove r 10 years now with old r22 equipment. No problems with compatability but e nsure you check the superheat is sufficient. Be careful gas is flamable. If you realy want to change the oil I agree turn the rotary upside down and t urn it on and blow the oil out the discharge and fill it back up through th e suction accumulator while its running to help suck it in. Also use a 100% liquid dryer to dry your poe oil as I imagine it will get a little wet fro m moisture gain from the air.
