ASSEMBLY

 

The evaporator section, including the coil, should be

 

cleaned regularly. The preferred cleaning fluid is fresh

 

water or steam. Another recommended cleaner is Oakite

OUTLET

202 or similar, following manufacturer’s instructions.

The two drain pan hoses are routed behind the

 

 

condenser fan motor and compressor. The drain pan

line(s) must be open to ensure adequate drainage.

6.15.1 Evaporator Coil Replacement

1. Pump down the unit per paragraph 6.4.

a. Pump unit down. (Refer to paragraph 6.4.)

 

2.Remove cushion clamps located on the inlet and out- let lines.

3.Unbraze the equalizer connection (if applicable), the outlet connection and then the inlet connection.

4.Remove insulation (Presstite) from expansion valve bulb.

5.Unstrap the bulb, located below the center of the suc- tion line (4 o’clock position), and remove the valve.

b. Installing the Expansion Valve

1.Clean the suction line with sandpaper before instal- ling bulb to ensure proper heat transfer. Apply ther- mal grease to the indentation in the suction line.

2.Strap the thermal bulb to the suction line, making sure bulb is placed firmly into the suction line. See Figure 6-10 for bulb placement.

3.Insulate the thermal bulb.

4.The economizer expansion valves should be wrapped in a soaked cloth for brazing. See Figure 6-12. Braze inlet connection to inlet line

5.Braze outlet connection to outlet line.

6.Reinstall the cushion clamps on inlet and outlet lines.

b. With power OFF and power plug removed, remove the screws securing the panel covering the evaporator section (upper panel).

c. Disconnect the defrost heater wiring.

d. Disconnect the defrost temperature sensor (see Fig- ure Figure 2-2 from the coil. .

e. Remove middle coil support.

f.Remove the mounting hardware from the coil.

g.Unsolder the two coil connections, one at the distrib- utor and the other at the coil header.

h.After defective coil is removed from unit, remove defrost heaters and install on replacement coil.

i.Install coil assembly by reversing above steps.

j.Leak check connections per paragraph 6.5. Evacuate the unit per paragraph 6.6 and add refrigerant charge per paragraph 6.7.

6.15.2 Evaporator Heater Replacement

a.Before servicing unit, make sure the unit circuit break- ers (CB-1 & CB-2) and the start-stop switch (ST) are in the OFF position, and that the power plug and cable are disconnected.

b. Remove the lower access panel (Figure 2-1) by removing the T.I.R. locking device lockwire and mounting screws.
