The refrigerant line outlets are located under the case. Locate first the electrical box, the outlets are then on the same side of the case but at the opposite end. Insulate suction lines to prevent condensation drippage.

Refrigerant lines should be sized as shown on the refrigeration legend furnished by the store.

Pressure drop can rob the system of capacity.To keep the pressure drop to a minimum, keep refrigerant line run as short as possible, using the minimum number of elbows. Where elbows are required, use long radius elbows only.
CONTROL SETTINGSSee the “Case Specs” section of this guidebook for the appropriate settings for your merchandiser.Maintain these parameters to achieve near constant product tempera- tures.Product temperature should be measured first thing in the morning, after having been refrigerated overnight. For all multiplexing, defrost should be time terminated. Loadmaster valves are not recommended. Defrost times should be as follows: OFF CYCLE - One time daily for 110 minutes.The number of defrosts per day should never change.The duration of the defrost cycle may be adjusted to meet conditions present at your location.
ACCESS TO TX VALVES & DRAIN LINEStronic expansion valves will be installed on the coil inlet, coil outlet, and in the discharge air. (Some supermarkets require a 4th sensor in the return air). Case controllers will be located in the electrical raceway or under the case
THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE LOCATIONThis device is located on the same side as the refrigeration stub. A Sporlan balanced port expansion valve model is furnished as standard equipment,unless otherwise specified by customer.
EXPANSION VALVE ADJUSTMENTExpansion valves must be adjusted to fully feed the evapo- rator. Before attempting any adjustments, make sure the evaporator is either clear or very lightly covered with frost, and that the fixture is within 10°F of its expected operating temperature.
MEASURING THE OPERATING SUPERHEAT1.Determine the suction pressure with an accurate pressure gauge at the evaporator outlet.
2.From a refrigerant pressure temperature chart, determine the saturation temperature at the observed suction pressure.
3.Measure the temperature of the suction gas at the thermostatic remote bulb location.
4.Subtract the saturation temperature obtained in step No.2 from the temperature measured in step No.3.
3. The difference is superheat.
5. Set the superheat for 5°F - 7°F.
