  • Page 26: Refrigeration Sequence Of Operation

    REFRIgERatIon SEqUEnCE oF oPERatIon A good understanding of the basic operation of the refrigeration system is essential for the service technician. Without this understanding, accurate troubleshooting of refrigeration system problems will be more difficult and time consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible. The refrigeration system uses four basic principles (laws) in its operation they are as follows: 1.
