Questions and answers
Hi, I.ve been asked to check out a new Boge C15. The installing electrician thinks it has no refrigerant. Sounds odd, so thought I'd check in before attending this compressor.
No, the BOGE C15 compressor operates using an air displacement principle with an electric motor and V-belts. There is a reference to refrigerant temperature affecting the service life of motor bearings, but this does not indicate that the compressor itself requires refrigerant for operation.
