Figure 7-2. Self-Contained Harvest Cycle

Harvest Cycle Refrigeration Sequence

Hot gas flows through the energized harvest valve, heating the evaporator. The harvest valve is sized to allow the proper amount of refrigerant into the evaporator. This specific sizing (along with the proper system refrigerant charge) assures proper heat transfer, without the refrigerant condensing and slugging the compressor.
