4. Nastavení a instalace
This capacitor is a critical electrical component. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
- Odpojení napájení: Turn off all power to the HVAC unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Verify power is off using a voltage metr.
- Vybíjení kondenzátoru: Carefully discharge the old capacitor using a properly insulated screwdriver or a resistor. Touch the insulated screwdriver across the terminals to ensure no residual charge remains.
- Wiring Identification: Note the wiring connections to the old capacitor. Dual run capacitors typically have three terminals: 'HERM' (compressor), 'FAN' (fan motor), and 'C' (common). Take a photograph for reference if necessary.
- Odstranění: Odpojte vodiče od starého kondenzátoru a vyjměte jej z montážního držáku.
- Installation of New Capacitor: Place the new Genteq capacitor into the mounting bracket. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals:
- běžné (C)
- Herm (Hermetic Compressor)
- Fan (Fan Motor)
- Zabezpečená připojení: Ujistěte se, že všechny spoje jsou těsné a bezpečné.
- Obnovení napájení: Restore power to the HVAC unit and test its operation.

5. Provoz
A dual run capacitor, such as this Genteq model, serves two primary functions in an HVAC system:
- Funkce spuštění: Provides a temporary boost of power to help the compressor and fan motors overcome initial inertia and begin rotating.
- Funkce spuštění: Maintains a continuous phase shift in the motor windings, ensuring efficient and continuous operation of both the compressor and the fan motor.
The capacitor operates continuously when the HVAC unit is running, contributing to the overall efficiency and longevity of the motors.
6. Údržba
Capacitors are generally sealed units and require minimal direct maintenance. However, regular inspection of the HVAC system can help identify potential issues early:
- Vizuální kontrola: Periodically check the capacitor for signs of swelling, leaks, or corrosion, which indicate failure.
- Čistota: Ensure the area around the capacitor is free from dust and debris to prevent overheating.
- Profesionální prohlídky: Include capacitor inspection as part of routine professional HVAC system maintenance.
7. Řešení problémů
A failing capacitor can lead to various HVAC system malfunctions. Common symptoms include:
- Motor se nestartuje: If the compressor or fan motor hums but does not start, the run capacitor may be weak or failed.
- Snížená účinnost: A weak capacitor can cause motors to run inefficiently, leading to higher energy consumption.
- Přehřívání: Motors struggling due to a faulty capacitor can overheat, potentially leading to further damage.
- Fyzické poškození: A swollen or leaking capacitor is a clear sign of failure and requires immediate replacement.
If you suspect a capacitor failure, it is recommended to have a qualified technician diagnose and replace the component.
