EFRIGERATION
Pressure Drop
Pressure drop can rob the system of capacity. To
keep the pressure drop to a minimum, keep the
refrigerant line run as short as possible using a
minimum number of elbows. Where elbows are
required,
USE LONG RADIUS ELBOWS ONLY
INSULATION
The suction and liquid lines should be clamped or
taped together and insulated for a minimum of
30 feet from the merchandiser. Additional insula-
tion for the balance of the liquid and suction lines
is recommended wherever condensation drippage
is objectionable or lines are exposed to ambient
conditions.
