Review all refrigerator literature supplied in your
owner's packet or stored in the refrigerator prior to
operating it
In an absorption refrigerant system, ammonia is
liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top-rear of
the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the
evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed
to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the
ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the
freezer
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically
sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid
ammonia, flowing downward by gravity, through this
section If the refrigerator is operated out-of-level
when the vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will
accumulate in portions of the evaporator tubing This
will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas,
or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a
loss of cooling
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with
the refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled
to prevent this loss of cooling The vehicle needs to be
leveled only so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable
sloping of floor or walls).
When the vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical,
as the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will
pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia
from accumulating in the evaporator tubing
