WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Turn off electric power before service or installation.

Extreme care must be used, if it becomes necessary to work on equipment with power applied.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD

Sealed Refrigeration System contains refrigerant and oil under high pressure.

Proper safety procedures must be followed, and proper protective clothing must be worn when working with refrigerants.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in serious injury or death.

repaired before charging the unit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To check for an undercharged system, turn the unit on,

 

 

 

allow the compressor to run long enough to establish

 

 

 

working pressures in the system (15 to 20 minutes).

 

 

 

During the cooling cycle you can listen carefully at the exit

 

 

 

of the metering device into the evaporator; an intermittent

 

 

 

hissing and gurgling sound indicates a low refrigerant

 

 

 

charge. Intermittent frosting and thawing of the evaporator

 

 

 

is another indication of a low charge, however, frosting

 

 

 

and thawing can also be caused by insuffi cient air over

 

 

 

the evaporator.

 

 

 

Checks for an undercharged system can be made at

 

 

 

 

 

 

the compressor. If the compressor seems quieter than

Noncondensables are indicated.

 

 

 

Whenever an overcharged system is indicated, always

 

 

 

make sure that the problem is not caused by air fl ow

 

 

 

problems. Improper air fl ow over the evaporator coil may

 

 

 

indicate some of the same symptoms as an over charged

 

 

 

system.

 

 

 

An overcharge can cause the compressor to fail, since it

 

 

 

would be “slugged” with liquid refrigerant.

 

 

 

The charge for any system is critical. When the compressor

 

 

 

is noisy, suspect an overcharge, when you are sure that
