USING INTRODUCTION Page 6 COOLER • SEASONAL USE When the unit is kept unused for a long time, please take note of the following procedures: ‐ unplug the unit; ‐ clean and dry well the tank; ‐ leave the covers half open to prevent bad smells forming; ‐ cover the unit with a curtain, place it in a dry room and sheltered from the atmospheric agents. • Handle with care, do not throw things into the compartments that may damage the tank’s walls. • DON’T PUT WARM FOOD INSIDE THE COMPARTMENTS, THE FOOD’S TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE AT AMBIENT DON’T PUT WARM FOOD INSIDE THE COMPARTMENTS THE FOOD’S TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OR BELOW. The food stored in the compartments should be packaged with non‐toxic plastic bags and the drinks properly sealed to avoid excessive ice build up on the walls.
REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT Page 7 A schematic drawing of a household refrigerator with the simplest cycle option is shown in Fig. 1. The main components of the systems are the hermetic piston compressor (Fig.2), the ( g ) condenser, the non adiabatic capillary tube with the suction line heat exchanger, the evaporator and the cabinet.
Page 9
REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT Page 8 The compressor draws in the refrigerant fluid from the evaporator by reducing the pressure in this component. The fluid is compressed by the compressor and moves to the condenser. In the condenser the refrigerant fluid under high pressure releases heat to the environment and becomes liquid.
ELECTRIC COMPONENTS Page 13 COMPRESSOR COMPRESSOR 1) Role The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure gas evaporated from Evaporator of the Refrigerator, and condenses this gas to high Temperature and high pressure gas, and then plays delivering role to Condenser. 2) Composition The Compressor is Composed of Compressor Apparatus compressing gas, Compressor Motor moving Compressor Apparatus and Case protecting Compressor Apparatus and Motor.
