At Houston Hermetics the remanufacturing process begins with every compressor being completely disassembled and thoroughly-cleaned. After cleaning, all tolerances such as crankshaft journal dimensions, cylinder bore size, piston diameter, etc. are checked to be within specifications. Any part not within tolerance is replaced or repaired

• All bearings, piston rings, springs, etc. are replaced with new parts
• Every valve plate is disassembled, cleaned, resurfaced and reassembled with new valve reeds
• Defective motors are stripped and rewound using hermetic approved wire, insulation and epoxy resin
• All motors are thoroughly cleaned and tested using a Hi­Pot/Surge and Core Loss Tests to insure reliability
• After reassembly, every compressor is test run to check amperage draw, oil pressure, valve and unloader operation, etc. The compressors are then dehydrated, leak tested, and painted. All aspects of this work, with the exception of ,crankshaft grinding and repair, is done "in-house" to insure compliance with standards
