REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT 3.5.1 Standard Operation Starting at the compressor, (see Figure 3.6) the suction gas is compressed to a higher pressure and temperature. The refrigerant gas flows through the discharge line and continues into the air-cooled condenser. When operating with the air-cooled condenser active, air flowing across the coil fins and tubes cools the gas to saturation tempera- ture.
SECTION 4 MICROPROCESSOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEM The temperature control Micro-Link 3 microprocessor system (see Figure 4.1) consists of a keypad, display mod- ule, the control module (controller) and interconnecting wiring. The controller houses the temperature control soft- ware and the DataCORDER software.

To access the function codes, perform the following: a. Press the CODE SELECT key, then press an arrow key until the left window displays the desired code number. b. The right window will display the value of this item for five seconds before returning to the normal display mode. c.
In order to achieve economy mode, a perishable set point must be selected prior to activation. When economy mode is active, the evaporator fans will be controlled as follows: At the start of each cooling or heating cycle, the evaporator fans will run in high speed for three minutes. They will then be switched to low speed any time the supply air temperature is within +/- 0.2°C (0.36°F) of the set point and the return air temperature is less than or equal to the supply air temperature +3°C (5.4°F).
4.3.7 Perishable Mode Cooling - Sequence of Operation NOTE In the Standard Perishable Mode of Operation, the evaporator motors run in high speed. In the Econ- omy Perishable Mode, the fan speed is varied. With supply air temperature above set point and decreasing, the unit will cool with the condenser fan motor (CF), compressor motor (CH), evaporator fan motors (EF) energized and the COOL light illuminated.
4.3.10 Perishable Mode - Dehumidification The dehumidification mode is provided to reduce the humidity levels inside the container. The mode is activated when a humidity value is set at function code Cd33. The display module SUPPLY LED will flash ON and OFF every second to indicate that the dehumidification mode is active.
4.3.12 Frozen Mode - Temperature Control When in the frozen mode, the controller maintains the return air temperature at or below set point, the RETURN indicator light will be illuminated on the display module and the default reading on the display window will be the return air probe reading.
4.3.15 Frozen Mode Cooling - Sequence of Operation a. When the return air temperature is above set point and decreasing, the unit will transition to economized cooling with the condenser fan motor (CF), compressor motor (CH), economizer solenoid valve (ESV), low speed evaporator fan motors (ES) energized and the COOL light illuminated.
4.3.17 Defrost Interval Controller function code Cd27 sets two modes for defrost initiation, either user-selected timed intervals or auto- matic control. The user-selected values are 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 hours, AUTO, or PuLs. Some units may be configured to allow defrost to be disabled altogether.
Defrost may be initiated any time the defrost temperature sensor reading falls below the controller defrost termina- mion thermostat set point. Defrost will terminate when the defrost temperature sensor reading rises above the defrost termination thermostat set point. The defrost termination thermostat is not a physical component. It is a controller set- ting that acts as a thermo stat, “closing”...
During defrost the evaporator fans will cycle ON Low Speed once DTS reaches 0°C (32°F) and STS is below -5°C (23°F). Once the evaporator fans cycle ON the controller will monitor STS at 1 second intervals and calculate the difference between the current STS reading and the previous STS reading. If STS becomes warmer that -5°C (23°F) or the calculated difference of STS remains below 0.1°C (0.18°F) for 10 consecutive readings or DTS reaches 20°C (68°F), the evaporator fans will turn off for 3 minutes.
