Refrigeration System

Filter-Drier Installation

Any time the sealed system is opened and the refrigerant charge is removed, the liquid line filter-drier must be replaced and the system thoroughly evacuated before replacing refrigerant.

DO NOT unbraze old filter-drier from system. This will vaporize and drive moisture from desiccant back into system. The old filter-drier should be cut out of system.

The following instructions are generalized to help the technician understand the procedures of sealed system repairs. See Section 5 Component Teardown on the exact steps of accessing the components of the refrigeration system.

1.Disconnect electrical supply to freezer.

2.Recover refrigerant by using EPA approved recovery system.

3.Using a 3 cornered file, score a groove around capillary tube as close to old filter-drier as possible. Break capillary tube along score mark from filter-drier.

4.Cut condenser outlet tube at filter-drier. Discard filter-drier.

5.Thoroughly clean condenser outlet tube and capillary tube.

6.Place inlet connection of filter-drier over condenser tube approximately ¼” and solder.

7.Insert capillary tube input end into filter-drier outlet. Do not allow tube to bottom against screen. Solder carefully so that solder does not plug capillary tube.

8.Install process tube adapter to filter-drier.

9.Evacuate and charge system using the recommended procedure described under Evacuating and Recharging.

10.Reassemble unit.

Evaporator and Suction Line Replacement

The following instructions are generalized to help the technician understand the procedures of sealed system repairs. See Section 5 Component Teardown on the exact steps of accessing the components of the refrigeration system.
