They do add in the caveat that it mustn&rsquo;t be tilted more the 45 degrees onto its side, but still, it indicates that not all heat pumps have to follow the same rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are trying to fit your heat pump into your car, that 45-degree tilt may make all the difference.

The motor itself does not lean or touch the inner part of the housing as it is suspended within it. The motor is &ldquo;secured&rdquo; to the housing through three internal mounting springs keeping it centralized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One spring is located between the top of the motor and the top of the inside of the housing. The other two springs are located at the bottom of the motor, one on each side. These slot over suspension points at the base of the shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you lay the pump on its side, it could cause the internal mounting springs to break, which could, in turn, cause the motor to become misaligned. Ultimately, this may have a domino effect on other compressor components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the motor is not centralized, the motor components like the discharge tube could undergo severe vibrations that could cause it eventually to break off. The high pressure and the heated vapor will not be able to leave the compressor and enter the rest of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Warning: the video below is quite loud in parts as it features a running heat pump.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Failed Spring Mount in Copland Reciprocating AC Compressor\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tm1toNY9rYQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compressor Oil Leakage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Compressors contain oil for lubrication for all the moving parts within their motors. If the compressor is lying on its side, the oil and possibly the refrigerant may pool to the top and sides of the housing and leak through all the tube connections on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the oil leaks, it may land up on different components of the heat pump. From here, it may remain for long periods of time before it starts to dry or become a slight sludge, and it would hinder maximum component operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If oil lands on cooling circuits like your condenser and evaporator coils, it can prevent them from absorbing or dispersing heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oil is also a flammable product; thus, it is not only hindering the efficiency of the heat pump, but is also dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transporting Heat Pumps on Their Sides Is Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&rsquo;s not advisable to transport the appliance on its side, there are a few exceptions and conditions to adhere to if you are in dire straits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why I say this is because there are <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/heat-pump-water-heater-transported-laying-down\/\">heat pump water heaters that have manufacturer permission to lay them on their backs for transport<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these two appliances are different, the principle of heat pumps is the same, so there is &ldquo;precedent&rdquo; as it were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t take caution throughout transportation, you could risk damaging an expensive appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible.jpg\" alt=\"Tips to Transporting a Heat Pump as Safe as Possible\" class=\"wp-image-20762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Tips to Transporting a Heat Pump as Safe as Possible\" class=\"wp-image-20762 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tips-to-Transporting-a-Heat-Pump-as-Safe-as-Possible.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips to Make It as Safe as Possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Not resting fully on its side (resting at an angle).
