1.1 INTRODUCTION

WARNING

It has been determined that pressurized, air-rich mixtures of refrigerants and air can undergo combustion when exposed to an ignition source.

This manual contains Operating Data, Electrical Data and Service Instructions for the refrigeration units listed in Table 1-1. Also, Table 1-1 charts some significant differences between these models.

NOTE

Beginning with early 1995 production, in addition to a model number, Carrier Transicold began using a parts identification (PID) number in the format NT0000. In the parts manual, the PID number is shown in boldface to point out parts variations within models. The PID number must be included when ordering and inquiring about your unit.

The unit, of lightweight aluminum frame construction, is an all electric, one piece, self-contained cooling and heating refrigeration unit. The unit is designed to fit in the front of a container and to serve as the container front wall. Forklift pockets are provided for installation and removal of the unit.

The unit is complete with a charge of R-134a, compressor lubricating oil (approved POE SW20 compressor oil for R-134a only), mode indicating lights, and temperature controller, and is ready for operation upon installation.

Some units are equipped with a two-speed compressor that is used to enhance power saving.

Some units are dual voltage units designed to operate on 190/230 or 380/460 volts AC, 3-phase, 50-60 hertz power (refer to section 2.4). Other units are designed to operate on 380/460 volts AC, 3-phase 50/60 hertz power only. An external autotransformer is required for 190/230 vac operation (refer to Figure 2-9 and section 2.4).

Operating control power is provided by a control transformer which steps down the AC supply power source to 18 and 24 volts AC, single phase control power.

The temperature Controller/DataCORDER (Micro-Link 2i) is a microprocessor-based controller and a integrated electronic data logging device. Refer to sections 3.1 and

3.3.Once the temperature controller is set at a desired container temperature, the unit will operate automatically to maintain the desired temperature within very close limits. The control system automatically selects cooling, holding or heating as necessary to maintain the desired temperature within the container.

WARNING

Beware of unannounced starting of the evaporator and condenser fans. Do not open the condenser fan grille before turning power OFF and disconnecting power plug.

Some units are equipped with a mechanical temperature recorder.

Some units may have a TransFRESH controlled atmosphere system added. Contact TransFRESH Corporation, P.O. Box 1788, Salinas, CA 93902 for information on their system.
