IMPORTANCE OF LEVELING A
REFRIGERATOR
In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is lique-
fied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the
refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the
evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed
to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the
ammonia to evaporate, creating
freezer.
in the evaporator section is specifically
The tubing
sloped to provide
monia, flowing downward
If the refrigerator is operated when it is not level and the
vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will accumulate
sections of the evaporator tubing. This will stow the
circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe
completely block it resulting in a loss of cooling.
cases,
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the
refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled to
prevent this loss of cooling. The vehicle needs to be
leveled only so It Is comfortable to live in (no noticeable
' sloping of floor or walls).
When the
vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical,
as the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will
pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia
from accumulating In the evaporator tubing.

Most LP gas appliances used-in recreational ve-
hicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle,
When parked close to a gasoline pump, it Is
possible that the gasoline fumes could enter
this type of appliance and ignite from the
burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR AN EXPLO-
SION.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, when refueling, shut of all
LP gas appliances which are vented to the out-
side.
