  • Page 15: The Refrigeration Cycle

    819091D THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE The compressor discharges high pressure, high temperature gas into the back panel condenser circuit first, returning via the oil cooler in the compressor and entering the side condenser in the cabinet by way of the base tube. This tube runs from the compressor compartment forward to the front bottom edge of the cabinet, returning down the left hand side to be connected to the left hand side condenser coil (viewed from the rear of the cabinet).

  • Page 16: Servicing Features

    819091D SERVICING FEATURES Condensate Disposal During the defrost cycle, which is electronically timed and controlled, live frost is melted off the evaporator by means of heat from the defrost element. Condensate from the evaporator defrosting drops into a collection trough, which has an outlet hole in the centre of the liner. A tube then allows the condensate to flow into a water evaporation tray above the compressor.

  • Page 17: Internal Condenser

    819091D Internal Condenser The internal condenser is made in three sections (see circuit diagram below). One third of the condenser is attached to the back panel, and the other parts are attached to the inside of the right and left sides of the cabinet wrapper (as viewed from the back) all being foamed into place.

    819091D ELECTRONICS SECTION DIAGRAMMATIC OVERVIEW FUNCTION DESCRIPTION The electronic system consists of several parts: Power / control module, display module, compressor, defrost heater, ambient heater, produce compartment fan, freezer compartment fan, light, temperature sensors and door sensors. The purpose of the Power / Control module is to turn on the compressor, which cools the evaporator, then to use the fans to efficiently cool the compartments.

  • Page 22: Thermal Fuse

    819091D defrost history, the number of door openings, and the compressor run time are used to determine the interval between defrosting. The typical time interval for defrosts is between 12 hours and 1 day. However it can be as short as 3 hours or as long as 70.8 hours depending on the usage and environment. Thermal Fuse There are two thermal fuses mounted in the wiring harness of the defrost element, having a tripping temperature of 160...

  • Page 23: Pc / Fc Fans

    819091D PC / FC Fans There are two 12 Volt DC electrically commutated motors (ECMs). They provide the required cooling power to both compartments. The motor speeds are controlled using a pulse width modulating (PWM) technique. The power / control module controls the on/off of the compressor, and the fans. The speed of the FC fan is set and the speed of the PC fan is regulated using pulse width modulation.

  • Page 24: Lights (Pc & Fc)

    819091D Lights (PC & FC) Two 12 volt, 10 watt halogen lamp are used in the PC and one in the FC. To prevent overheating, the lamp is turned off after 5 minutes of the door being left open. The power / control module controls this. NOTE: It is important that the lamp pins are tight in the lamp socket.
