31 year old Heat Pump Copeland scroll cut open & inspected.

What does the inside of a 31 year old compressor look like after running all year around in a heat pump application? well lets take a look inside!
This Carrier Heat pump was manufactured the 6th week of 1992 with the original Copland Scroll compressor and even the original filter drier.
This compressor was still running strong and was replaced due to a leaking evaporator coil, and expensive R22 refrigerant, the age and rust on the compressor and accumulator.
As we look inside the compressor was in really good shape. It ran hot at one time, likely due to the leaking evaporator coil and it had refrigerant foodbank at one time either dirty filter, dirty coil or being overcharged to get a little more life out of it.
Follow along as we cut it open and inspect all the parts.
