Heat Mode
When in the heat mode, with neither evaporator calling for cooling, the hot gas solenoid valves 1HGV and 2HGV
could be energized. The main heat valve (MHV) will close, diverting the refrigerant to 1HGV and 2HGV. The nor-
mally closed liquid solenoid valves 1LSV and 2LSV will energize and open.
Flow
The normally closed receiver pressure valve (RPV), situated in the hot gas line to the receiver will open. This
allows the receiver to be pressurized and liquid refrigerant to flow through the drier and sight glass, and pass
through any liquid line solenoid valves, which would be energized. The refrigerant passes through the expansion
valve into the evaporator. At the same time, high-temperature, high-pressure gas enters the evaporator via the
solenoid valves 1HGV and 2HGV to provide required heating. The extra liquid purged from the receiver ensures
maximum heating capacity in low-ambient conditions.
Evaporator
The evaporator fan passes the air over the hot refrigerant pipes and distributes heated air into the cargo space.
Accumulator
The hot gas travels through the suction line check valve into the accumulator where it is drawn back through the
compressor pressure regulating valve (CPR) to begin the process again.
Null Mode
When temperature is achieved in both evaporators, they will go into null mode. The compartment with the highest
set point will then take the lead and revert back to cool/heat cycles.

Principle of Induction Heating (Electric Heat)

The remote evaporators are equipped with 3-phase resistive heaters. In diesel operation, the standby motor is
used as a 230 VAC 3-phase induction generator. This generator supplies power to the resistive heaters. This
induction generation is made possible by a bank of three capacitors connected across the three legs of the standby
motor. The capacitors are located in the control box.
In Standby operation, the heaters are supplied with standby AC power.
