If the discharge reed valves used in a refrigeration compressor are leaking badly, what should be done?

the compressor suction isolation valve should be throttled to compensate

the reed valves should be replaced as necessary

the compressor may continue to operate at minimum efficiency

the high pressure cut-out should be readjusted to compensate

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of discharge reed valves in a reciprocating refrigeration compressor • What happens to compressor efficiency and capacity when discharge valves leak • Why you should NOT try to "compensate" by throttling valves or readjusting safety cut-outs

💭 Think About

• Think about the basic job of a discharge reed valve in the compression cycle. If it leaks, how is the gas path affected during compression and discharge? • If a component is mechanically defective and causing loss of capacity, is it better practice to modify safety settings/line valves, or to correct the defective part? • Which options involve changing normal/safety settings to mask a problem, and which option addresses the root cause of the leaking?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer choice directly addresses a mechanical defect in the compressor, rather than trying to hide or work around it • Eliminate any options that involve defeating or altering safety devices (like cut‑outs) just to keep equipment running • Consider standard marine engineering practice: when a valve in a compressor is leaking badly, what is the proper maintenance action?
