Start-Stop Operation Start-Stop is provided to reduce fuel or power consumption. This feature allows full automatic control of the unit by monitoring compartment temperature, battery condition and (when in Engine Operation) engine coolant tempera- ture. The main function of Start-Stop Operation is to shutdown the engine or compressor after certain conditions are met (to provide an efficient temperature control system) and to initiate a restart sequence after certain conditions are met.
Page 99
2. Engine coolant temperature has warmed Each time the unit is started in Engine Operation it must continue to run until the coolant temperature rises to 95°F (35°C) to ensure it has fully warmed up before shutdown is allowed. If only one compartment is operating and it is not in Pulldown or Pull-Up, that compartment will remain in operation with the compressor and heaters off and the evaporator fan(s) running.

8.7.2.6 Pumping Down the Low Side Components on the low side of the refrigeration system (the filter drier, EVXV, ECXV, evaporator coil, CSMV, heat exchanger, suction line etc.) may be serviced or replaced without having to completely remove the refrigerant charge from the system by pumping down the low side, and temporarily storing the refrigerant in the condenser and receiver.
Page 335
8.7.2.8 Adjusting the Charge Level Adjustment of the charge level may be required when there has been a leak or the system was not correctly charged during a previous service. 1. Check charge level by performing the procedures of the preceding step a. 2.
Page 336
8.7.3 Leak Checking WARNING Never use air or gases containing oxygen for leak testing or operating refrigerant compressors. Pressurized mixtures of air or gases containing oxygen can lead to explosion. The condition that the system may be in when leak checking is required include; when the system is charged, when the system is without charge, when the low side has been pumped down and when only the compressor is to be leak checked.
Page 337
WARNING Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator. Cylinder pressure is approximately 2350 psig (159.9 bar). Do not use oxygen in or near a refrigerant system as an explosion may occur. (See Figure 8.32). 5. Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen. Use the dry nitrogen to increase the pressure as necessary 20 to 150 psig (1.4 to 10.2 bar) to detect the leak.
Page 338
6. The recommended procedure for finding leaks from a system is with an electronic leak detector. Checking joints with soapsuds is satisfactory only for locating large leaks, or pinpointing small leaks once a general area has been located. 7. Once leak checking is complete, remove refrigerant/ nitrogen vapor from the low side of the system. 8.
Essential tools to properly evacuate any system include a good vacuum pump (5 cfm/8m H volume dis- placement, Carrier Transicold part number 07-00176-11) and a good vacuum indicator such as a digital vac- uum gauge, Carrier Transicold part number 07-00414-00.
Page 340
8.7.4.2 Evacuation of the Low Side 1. Evacuate only after a low side leak check. (Refer to Section 8.7.3) 2. If possible keep the temperature of the major components (condenser, evaporator, compressor and receiver) above 60°F (15.6°C) to speed evaporation of moisture. If the temperature is lower than 60°F (15.6°C), ice might form before moisture removal is complete.
Page 341
Compressor Service WARNING Before removal of the compressor, relieve the internal pressure by very carefully loosening the couplings to break the seal. The scroll compressor achieves low suction pressure very quickly. Do not use the compressor to evacuate the system below 0 psig. Never operate the compressor with the suction or discharge service valves closed (frontseated).
