Welcome to the Hill PHOENIX display case family. We’re very pleased you joined us. This installation and operation handbook has been especially prepared for everyone involved with Hill PHOENIX display cases – owners, managers, installers and maintenance personnel. You’ll find this book different than our traditional manual. The most dramatic difference is the use of many more illustrated instructions to make it easier to read and to help you get the most from this innovative new design.
TABLE OF CONTENTS GENERAL INFORMATION - PAGES 3-4 First step recommendations and case dimensional drawings. INSTALLATION - PAGE 5 Instructions on how to trim out cases with illustrations. REFRIGERATION COMPONENTS - PAGE 6 Diagram showing the refrigeration components of the mobile self-contained cases. COMPONENT DEFINITIONS - PAGE 7 Operational descriptions of the refrigeration components.
GENERAL INFORMATION DESCRIPTION OF CASES: Specifically covered in this manual is model UPA-8’ mobile self-con- tained produce merchandiser. STORE CONDITIONS: Hill PHOENIX cases are designed to operate in an air conditioned store with a system that can maintain 75 O F (24 O C) store temperature and 55 percent (maximum) relative humid- ity (CRMA conditions).

INSTALLATION attached to the case. The front panels are attached The cases come equipped with a 120 volt, with three screws each located at the bottom of the three prong connection that can be plugged into panel. Once the screws are removed the panels lift any 30 amp NEMA L5-30 receptacle within the off for easy access to electrical and plumbing compo- store.
REFRIGERATION COMPONENTS Refrigeration components for the mobile refrigeration components in the mobile self-con- self-contained cases are easily accessible in the tained cases. The components surrounded by the tank and underneath the case. The expansion box are located within the case tank. Basic defini- valve and suction line 1/4”...
COMPONENT DEFINITIONS Accumulator - A device installed on the suction line that is used to boil off small amounts of liquid refrigerant so liquid does not reach the compressor. Access Valve - Access port on the evaporator that allows service personnel to check system pressure. Compressor - An electrically driven piston pump that pumps vapor refrigerant from a low pressure level to a higher pressure level.
PLUMBING The drain trap and case piping are attached The case drain is located front and center of to the case at the factory so no assembly is the case for convenient access. Should any future required. The standard drain assembly is designed maintenance issues arise it is important to note that to direct the case drainage to an evaporative drain the drain outlet is especially molded of ABS material...
