  • Page 11: Refrigeration Process

    2.2 Refrigeration Process All refrigeration units cool by removing heat from the cabinet rather than pumping in cool air. In a conventional refrigeration unit, liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator and vaporizes due to the low pressure, creating a very cold surface which removes heat from inside the cabinet. This causes the refrigerant to boil into a vapor state and be drawn into the compressor.

  • Page 12: Refrigeration System Components

    2.3 Refrigeration System Components Compressor The compressor is the "heart" of the refrigeration unit, consisting of an electrical motor and a "pump" sealed inside a steel case. The compressor used on R134A refrigerant systems is virtually the same in external appearance as the compressor used with R600a refrigerants. However, due to changes in lubricants and other internal differences, the compressors are not to be interchanged, otherwise system failure will result.

  • Page 13: Service Precautions For R600A Refrigerant

    2.4 Service Precautions for R600A Refrigerant Features of R600a refrigerant Achromatic and odorless gas. Flammable gas with ignition (explosion) at 494°C. Upper/lower explosion limit: 1.8%~8.4%/Vol. Features of the R600a refrigeration unit Charging of around 60% refrigerant compared with a R134a model The suction pressure is below 1bar (abs) during the operation.
  • Page 14 Recharging the Compressor Before refilling the refrigerant, you must perform the test according to “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE”. When the defects are found, you must discharge the residual refrigerant (R600a) in the outdoors. For discharging the refrigerant R600a, break the narrow portion of tube extension by hand or with a pipe cutter.

    After the leak test, check the temperature of each part. Check (by touch) if the CONDENSER and Hot Pipe are warm. Confirm that frost is uniformly distributed on the surface of the EVAPORATOR. 2.5 Performance Checks The following general information explains several methods for checking the performance of the refrigeration system.
