pressure go below 15 PSIG.
High Pressure Cut Out: An automatic reset
switch sensing the high side refrigeration pressure.
It is set to shut the machine off at 450 PSIG.
Evaporator: A vertical stainless steel tube,
refrigerated, and water filled. In it there is a
stainless steel auger.
Reservoir: Float operated, it maintains the water
level in the evaporator at a constant level, it also
