4. Troubleshooting [Explanation of the fan control pressure switch (PRS2) and the high pressure switch (PRS1)] The fan control pressure switch is a device that switches the condenser fan ON/OFF to control the condensing pressure to stay within an appropriate range. The high pressure switch is arranged in a parallel manner with the fan control pressure switch and is a protective device that abnormal error or alarm of the...

5. Reference 5.1 Structure of Parts 5.1.1 Vacuum relief valve (Built in unloader) PILOT pressure During assembling, carefully install valve so that it should be straight. (If it is installed Relas the PILOT pressure to the vacuum relief slant, the valve top could not fit the hollowed valve from the unloader activation chamber portion of the valve.

5. Reference 5.1.2 Auto-relief circuit SC16064E SC16064E-1 Function When stopping, capacity (purge) control solenoid valve (SV1) opens thus pressurized air from separator receiver tank flows through SV1 to unloader working chamber. Pressurized air from external piping flows in the primary chamber of unloader and be released to the atmosphere through the air filter.

5. Reference 5.1.3 Solenoid valve for starting unload (SV4) (Regulator control type only) (starting of unloaded operation) SC16065E Function When starting, when electricity is conducted to the solenoid valve for starting unload (SV4), the unloader secondary chamber (NC) and the unloader spring chamber (COM) communicate, the spring chamber is placed under a negative pressure, and with a low pressure the unloader valve becomes completely closed and the starting of unloaded operation is performed.
