Trouble analysis

1. Check temperature difference between intake and discharge air, and operating current.

Temp. Difference

Operating Current

Temp. difference	: approx. 0°C(32°F)
Current	: less than 80% of
	rated current
Temp. difference	: approx. 8°C(46.4°F)
Current	: less than 80% of
	rated current
Temp. difference	: less than 8°C(46.4°F)
Current	: near the rated cur-
	rent

All amount of refrigerant leaked out. Check refrigeration cycle.

Refrigerant leakage

Clog of refrigeration cycle

Defective compressor

Excessive amount of refrigerant

Temp. difference : over 8°C(46.4°F)

Normal

Notice:

Temperature difference between intake and discharge air depends on room air humidity. When the room air humidity is relatively higher, temperature difference is smaller. When the room air humidity is relatively lower temperature difference is larger.

2. Check temperature and pressure of refrigeration cycle.

Notice:

1.The suction pressure is usually 4.5~6.0 kg/cm2G at normal condition.

2.The temperature can be measured by attaching the thermometer to the low pressure tubing and wrap it with putty.
