The diagram for calculation of loads that we propose is From a general point of view pressure is the force that is necessarily simplified, but serves to make a rapid identification applied to a unit of surface.

A refrigerating circuit consists of a series of basic components There are other parts that are called: assembled in such a way as to produce a cooling cycle that can be enhanced by various accessories.

Operations on refrigeration circuits Figure 14, shows how a joint is made between two copper pipes by brazing. As can be seen, a dimple of about 2/3 the If it should be necessary to operate on the refrigeration circuit diameter of the pipe has been made in one of the pipes which due to possible leakage of coolant or to replace parts, the on which the other is fitted.

discharging it, obviously, from the exhaust pipe. f) For the same reasons indicated above, also replace the filter with molecular screen located near the capillary. g) Clean the pipe connections to remove any residues of alloy. h) Position the new compressor and heat the pipes, always taking care to heat the connectors rather than the pipes.

indicated on the label of technical data, to compensate for any accumulation of coolant in the connecting hose and any small leaks during the operation of disconnection from the service valve. After detaching the hose, clamp the service hose in at least two points upstream of the perforation valve, leaving the hose clamping tool tight on the pipe (see fig.

The end of the autotest is signalled by all the leds lighting up during the heating function. The possible causes are: together ten times in a row, and emission of an acoustic signal. Internal air filter clogged. During this stage, the value of the temperature read by the Internal battery dirty.

(minimum battery temperature not reached) When this signal appears it means that the internal or external TSF alarms battery have not reached a temperature sufficient for normal (temperature sensors short circuited or interrupted) operation of the machine.

Tables of output Since not always the external and internal project conditions are identical to those to which the nominal output of the machines refer, sometimes the choice of the machines on the basis of the nominal outputs can turn out to be not entirely correct.
