We have a commercial 3 door refrigerator that will not stay running. It has gone through many compressors, including a brand new one last time. The accumulator/filter is plugged and there is black oil coming out of the line. This does not seem right. I know there needs to be oil in the lines, but I doubt it needs as much as was dripping out of the line and I question whether it should be black. Are my assumptions correct so far? My thought was to get the compressor replaced and find some solution to clean out the lines from the oil and dirt in them. I don't think that a vacuum pump will do the job of cleaning out all the oil and junk. Is there a solution (liquid cleaner to wash out the lines) available and where would I get it?
