Servicing Features

5.4.1

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.

FILTER DRIER

Diagram 5.4.1

The filter drier or molecular sieve, as the name suggests, is both a filter and a drier. Whenever a system is

opened, it is essential that the filter drier is replaced. ALWAYS ensure that replacement filter driers are kept

well sealed and airtight prior to being fitted to a system.

PLEASE NOTE: When filter driers are replaced on systems being serviced, it is important that the filter

drier is either cut from the system or the desiccant is removed before heat is applied to the old filter

drier. Failure to do so will drive any moisture held in the desiccant back into the system.

ALWAYS mount vertically or as near to vertical as possible and use the correct desiccant to suit the

refrigerant being used.

XH7 or XH9 suits R134a.
