Adjustment
1. Install the suction and discharge pressure gauge.
2. Adjust temperature setpoint to call for cooling so that the refrigeration compressor will run
continuously.
3. Remove the TOP adjusting nut from the valve.
4. Insert an Allen wrench in the brass hole at top of valve in adjusting port and turn CLOCKWISE if
a higher evaporator temperature is required. Adjust no more than 1/4 turn at a time. Let the
system stabilize for 15 minutes before determining if additional adjustment are necessary.
5. After obtaining the suction pressure required, reinstall cap tightly making sure there are no
leaks.
6. Let the evaporator operate for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to make sure the suction pressure
is within the range desired.
7. There may be a fluctuation of approximately 3 to 6 PSIG (21 to 41kPa) on the evaporator due to
the differential on the hot gas bypass.
8. Return temperature setpoint to the desired setting.

Low suction and head pressure in a Liebert Mini-Mate2 MMD24E with a glycol system and free cooling could be caused by:

1. Low Glycol Solution Level – Insufficient glycol in the system can reduce heat transfer efficiency.
2. Improper Glycol Concentration – Incorrect glycol mixture can affect system performance.
3. Low Water/Glycol Temperature – If the temperature is too low, the free-cooling coil may take over, reducing suction and head pressure.
4. Restricted Flow in the System – Blockages or closed valves in the glycol piping can limit circulation.
5. Malfunctioning Three-Way Valve – If the free-cooling valve does not function correctly, it may divert flow improperly.
6. Dirty or Clogged Coil – A buildup of debris on the free-cooling coil can restrict heat exchange.
7. Air in the System – Entrapped air can reduce efficiency and cause pressure issues.
8. Pump Issues – A faulty or improperly sized pump may not circulate glycol effectively.

Checking glycol levels, valve operation, and system cleanliness can help diagnose the issue.
