I I n n t t r r o o d d u u c c t t i i o o n n We strictly adhere to a policy that promotes the recovery and limits the loss of refrigerant into the atmosphere. When working on transport temperature control systems, a recovery process that prevents or minimizes refrigerant loss to the atmosphere is required by law.

Compressor Drive Module The Compressor Drive Module is located in the condenser section. It performs two primary functions. First; it monitors and controls the air conditioning compressor. It will receive commands from the Base Controller to turn the compressor On or Off and the desired compressor speed. It monitors the condition of the compressor system and will generate alarms.
