When properly installed, the LCM uses vapor compressor technology to cool a circulating coolant. The LCM consists of a compressor (with drive), condenser, over-pressure valve, filter dryer, expansion valve, and evaporator. OM00010 Rev B, FP00039 Operation Manual Page 2 of 8...
Evaporator Base Plate (beneath bracket) Figure 1: LCM (FP00039) Assembly (drive board and cable not shown) Safety The LCM contains Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) as a refrigerant. R-134a is an approved long-term replacement for CFC-based refrigerants and an approved ozone depleting substance (ODS) alternative.
To operate properly, airflow must be provided to the condenser. A fan should be mounted on a plenum at least 2 cm away from the face of the condenser. Aspen recommends a 120 mm fan with at least 100 cfm of airflow. Smaller fans may require a larger plenum length to ensure proper airflow distribution.
2200 RPM (0.7 VDC or lower) and a maximum speed of 6500 RPM (4.5 VDC or higher). The voltage to RPM relationship is linear between 0.7 and 4.5 V so the following equation can be used: OM00010 Rev B, FP00039 Operation Manual Page 5 of 8...
4. Sweep the air flow back and forth across the face of the coil to remove and excess contamination which would have built up during use until clean. 5. Reattach the plenum and any ducting. OM00010 Rev B, FP00039 Operation Manual Page 6 of 8...
