2.3.20 230 Volt Cable Units equipped with an autotransformer require an additional power cable for connection to the 230 volt source. Var- ious power cable and plug designs are available. The plug options tailor the cables to each customers requirements. 2.3.21 Cable Restraint Various designs are available for storage of the power cables.
SECTION 3 DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION 3.1.1 Refrigeration Unit - Front Section The unit is designed so that the majority of the components are accessible from the front, see Figure 3.1. The upper access panels allow entry into the evaporator section, and the center access panel allows access to the ther- mostatic expansion valve and evaporator coil heaters.
3.1.3 Evaporator Section The evaporator section (Figure 3.2) contains the temperature recorder bulb or return recorder sensor, return tempera- ture sensor, thermostatic expansion valve, dual-speed evaporator fans (EM1 and EM2), evaporator coil and heater, drain pan heater, defrost heaters, defrost temperature sensor, heat termination thermostat, and heat exchanger. The evaporator fans circulate air through the container by pulling it in the top of the unit, directing it through the evaporator coil, where it is heated or cooled, and discharging it at the bottom.
3.1.4 Air-Cooled Condenser Section The air cooled condenser section (Figure 3.4) consists of the condenser fan, condenser coil, receiver with sight glass/moisture indicator, quench valve, manual liquid line valve, and filter-drier. The condenser fan pulls air in the bottom of the coil and it is discharged horizontally out through the condenser fan grille. Figure 3.4 Air-Cooled Condenser Section 1.
3.1.5 Water-Cooled Condenser Section The water-cooled condenser section (Figure 3.5) consists of a water-cooled condenser, sight glass, quench expansion valve, rupture disc, condenser pressure transducer, filter-drier, water couplings, and water pressure switch. The water cooled condenser replaces the standard unit receiver. Figure 3.5 Water-Cooled Condenser Section 1.
3.1.6 Control Box Section The control box (Figure 3.6) includes the manual operation switches, circuit breaker (CB-1), compressor, fan and heater contactors, control power transformer, fuses, key pad, display module, current sensor module, controller module, and the communications interface module. 3.1.7 Communications Interface Module The communications interface module is a slave module which allow communication with a master central monitor-...

REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT Starting at the compressor, (see Figure 3.7, upper schematic) the suction gas is compressed to a higher pressure and temperature. The gas flows through the discharge service valve into the pressure regulator valve. During periods of low ambient operation, the pressure regulator valve modulates the flow of refrigerant to maintain a preset minimum discharge pressure.
SECTION 4 MICROPROCESSOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEM The temperature control Micro-Link 3 microprocessor system (see Figure 4.1) consists of a key pad, display mod- ule, control module (controller), and interconnecting wiring. The controller houses the temperature control software and the DataCORDER Software. The temperature control software functions to operate the unit components as required to provide the desired cargo temperature and humidity.
4.1.1 Key Pad The key pad (Figure 4.2 is mounted on the right-hand side of the control box. The key pad consists of eleven push button switches that act as the user's interface with the controller. Descriptions of the switch functions are provided Table 4–1.
4.1.2 Display Module The display module (Figure 4.3) consists of five digit displays and seven indicator lights. The indicator lights include: 1. Cool - White LED: Energized when the refrigerant compressor is energized. 2. Heat - Orange LED: Energized to indicate heater operation in the heat or defrost mode. 3.
4.1.3 Controller CAUTION Do not remove wire harnesses from controller unless you are grounded to the unit frame with a static safe wrist strap. CAUTION Unplug all controller wire harness connectors before performing arc welding on any part of the container.
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.
4.3.6 Condenser Pressure Control When configuration variable CnF14 is set to “In” the condenser pressure control logic is activated to maintain dis- charge pressures above 130 psig in low temperature ambients. The logic turns the condenser fan on or off in accordance with the condenser pressure transducer reading.
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.
Bulb mode is terminated when: 1. Bulb mode code Cd35 is set to “Nor.” 2. Dehumidification code Cd33 is set to “Off.” 3. The user changes the set point to one that is in the frozen range. When bulb mode is disabled by any of the above, the evaporator fan operation for dehumidification reverts to “alt” and the DTS termination setting resets to the value determined by controller configuration variable CnF41.
Some alarms requiring compressor shutdown have time delays before and after to try to keep the compressor on line. An example is alarm code “LO”, (low main voltage), when a voltage drop of over 25% occurs, an indication is given on the display, but the unit will continue to run. An alarm is indicated by flashing an alarm code on the display panel, and for some alarms, by the alarm light illuminating.

4.6.2 DataCORDER Software The DataCORDER Software is subdivided into the Configuration Software, Operational Software and the Data Memory. a. Operational Software The Operational Software reads and interprets inputs for use by the Configuration Software. The inputs are labeled Function Codes. There are 35 functions (see Table 4–8) which the operator may access to examine the current input data or stored data.
A list of the data points available for recording follows. Changing the configuration to generic and selecting which data points to record may be done using the Carrier Transicold Data Retrieval Program.

4.6.4 Logging Interval (dCF03) The user may configure four time intervals between data recordings. Data is logged at exact intervals in accor- dance with the real time clock. The clock is factory set at Greenwich Mean Time. 4.6.5 Thermistor Format (dCF04) The user may configure the format in which the thermistor readings are recorded.
Data retrieval from the DataCORDER can be accomplished by using one of the following; DataReader, DataLine/ DataView or a communications interface module. a. DataReader The Carrier Transicold Data Reader (see Figure 4.6) is a simple to operate hand held device designed to extract data from the DataCORDER and then upload it to a personal computer.
NOTE The DataBank file format is: READ05xx.ML3 where “xx” is the version number. This file should be the only file other than saved down loads (dcx files) inside the card memory. Any other files may result in card corruption. 1. The unit trip data can be downloaded with the Data Bank card if the battery pack has sufficient charge or the unit can be plugged into power.
In response to the demand to replace fumigation with this environmentally sound process, Carrier has integrated Cold Treatment capability into its microprocessor system. These units have the ability to maintain supply air tem- perature within one-quarter degree Celsius of setpoint and record minute changes in product temperature within the DataCORDER memory, thus meeting USDA criteria.
4.6.13 DataCORDER Alarms Alarm display is an independent DataCORDER function. If an operating parameter is outside of the expected range or a component does not return the correct signals back to the DataCORDER an alarm is generated. The DataCORDER contains a buffer of up to eight alarms. A listing of the DataCORDER alarms is provided in Table 4–...
