REFRIGERANT TYPE
The standard refrigerant will be R-22 unless otherwise
specified on the customer order. Check the serial plate
on the case for information.
REFRIGERATION LINES
LIQUID
3/8" O.D.
NOTE: The standard coil is piped at 5/8" (suction); however,
the store tie-in may vary depending on the number of
coils and the draw the case has. Depending on the case
setup, the connecting point in the store may be

hooking up.
Refrigerant lines should be sized as shown on the refrig-
eration legend furnished by the store.
Install P-traps (oil traps) at the base of all suction line ver-
tical risers.
Pressure drop can rob the system of capacity. To keep the
pressure drop to a minimum, keep refrigerant line run as
short as possible, using the minimum number of elbows.
Where elbows are required, use long radius elbows only.
CONTROL SETTINGS
See the "Case Specs" section of this guidebook for the
appropriate settings for your merchandiser. Maintain these
parameters to achieve near constant product tempera-
tures. Product temperature should be measured first thing
in the morning, after having been refrigerated overnight.
For all multiplexing, defrost should be time terminated.
Loadmaster valves are not recommended. Defrost times
should as directed in the Case Specifications section of
this guide. The number of defrosts per day should never
change. The duration of the defrost cycle may be adjusted
to meet conditions present at your location.
ACCESS TO TX VALVES & DRAIN LINES
MECHANICAL - Remove product from end of case. Remove
product racks. Remove refrigeration and drain access panels
(labeled). TX valve (mechanical only) and drain are located
under each access panel at end of the case.
ELECTRONIC - The Electronic Expansion valve master and
slave cylinder(s) are located within the electrical access
panel(s).
ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE (OPTIONAL)
A wide variety of electronic expansion valves and case
controllers can be utilized. Please refer to EEV and con-
troller manufacturers information sheet. Sensors for elec-
tronic expansion valves will be installed on the coil inlet,
coil outlet, and in the discharge air. (Some supermarkets
require a 4th sensor in the return air). Case controllers
will be located in the electrical raceway or under the case

THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE LOCATION
The thermostatic expansion valve is located along side
the coil return bends on the upper right hand side as you
face the front of the case.
The standard valve, a Sporlan balanced port is furnished
as standard equipment, unless otherwise specified by
customer.
EXPANSION VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Expansion valves must be adjusted to fully feed the evapo-
rator. Before attempting any adjustments, make sure the
evaporator is either clear or very lightly covered with frost,
and that the fixture is within 10°F of its expected operat-
ing temperature.
MEASURING THE OPERATING SUPERHEAT
1. Determine the suction pressure with an accurate
pressure gauge at the evaporator outlet.
2. From a refrigerant pressure temperature chart,
determine the saturation temperature at the
observed suction pressure.
3. Measure the temperature of the suction gas at the
thermostatic remote bulb location.
4. Subtract the saturation temperature obtained in step
No. 2 from the temperature measured in step No. 3.
3. The difference is superheat.
5. Set the superheat for 5°F - 7°F.
FANS
The fans can be accessed by removing the lower interior
rear panels.
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
The thermostat is located within the case in the ceiling on
the right hand side (facing front of case). To access the T-
stat remove the 4"X4" access panel.
