b. Evaporator Section

The evaporator section contains the optional mechanical temperature recording bulb, return recorder sensor (RRS), return temperature sensor (RTS), thermostatic expansion valve, dual-speed evaporator fan motors and fans (2), evaporator coil and heaters, drain pan and heater, defrost termination sensor, heat termination thermostat, and heat exchanger. See Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-5 for sensor locations.

The evaporator fans circulate air throughout the container by pulling air in the top of the refrigeration unit, directing the air through the evaporator coil where it is either heated or cooled, and discharging the air through the bottom of the refrigeration unit into the container.

When transporting perishable (chilled) commodities, the fan motors will normally be in high speed above -10_C (+14_F), or -5_C (+23_F) optionally.

The evaporator coil heaters are accessible by removing the front lower access panel. The defrost termination sensor (DTS) is located on the coil center tube sheet and may be serviced by removing the upper rear panel, or by removing the left front upper access panel, disconnecting the evaporator fan connector and reaching through the access panel opening.

WARNING

Before servicing unit, make sure the unit circuit breakers (CB-1 & CB-2) and the start-stop switch (ST) are in the OFF position. Also disconnect power plug and cable.
