TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The electronic control checks the resistance of the thermistors, and compares it to both the customer temperature settings and the last thermistor reading taken. This information is used to determine when to begin a cooling operation, and if a change is necessary in the damper setting, or the evaporator fan or com- pressor speed.

When a warm refrigerator is first put into a cooling mode, the air door partially opens, and the compressor and evaporator fan motors start to run at maximum rpm. The air door will gradually move to its fully open position.

As the actual temperature in the refrigerator nears the selected temperature setting, the electronic control compares the temperatures in both compartments. The compartment that has the greatest need for cooling, will control the speed of the evaporator fan motor.

Freezer Temperature Control —

Temperature Increasing

When the freezer calls for cooling, the com- pressor begins to run at minimum rpm, (see the chart on page 3-3), and the evaporator fan begins to run at 2000 rpm. The compressor and evaporator speeds are continuously up- dated. Speed changes are made based on:

•The difference between the actual tempera- ture and the selected temperature settings.

•The rate of temperature change.

If the temperature increases 4°F above the selected temperature setting, the evaporator fan speed begins to gradually increase. The evaporator fan motor reaches the maximum speed of 3000 rpm at 5°F above the selected temperature setting, and the compressor speed begins to gradually increase. A maximum com- pressor speed of 4500 rpm will be reached at 9°F above the selected temperature setting.

Freezer Temperature Control —

Temperature Decreasing

When the freezer temperature begins to de- crease, the process will reverse. The compres- sor speed decreases, followed by the evapo- rator fan speed.

Refrigerator Temperature Control — Temperature Increasing

When the refrigerator calls for cooling while the freezer is satisfied, the air door begins to open, and the evaporator fan starts to run at minimum speed. If the temperature continues to rise, the air door will continue to open. If the temperature continues to rise after the air door is fully open, the evaporator fan speed will gradually increase to a maximum of 3000 rpm. If the temperature continues to rise, the com- pressor starts to run, or if it has already been running, begins to increase in speed.

Refrigerator Temperature Control — Temperature Decreasing

As the refrigerator temperature approaches the selected setting, the control compares the tem- peratures in both compartments to determine which compartment will control the fan speed. If the freezer is further from the selected tem- perature setting, it controls the fan speed, and the air door begins to close, thus reducing the airflow to the refrigerator.

If the freezer is satisfied, the air door remains open, and the fan speed begins to decrease. When the selected temperature setting is reached, the air door closes.
