Pressure Transducer

The pressure transducer reads the head pressure of the system and transmits this value to the

controller. The controller uses this value to determine the proper fan speed. It is installed on a

Schrader valve connection allowing it to be removed without a loss of refrigerant.

Liquid Line/ Suction Line Heat Exchanger

This heat exchanger subcools the liquid leaving the receiver and superheats the gas leaving

the evaporator. This prevents flashing in the liquid line and helps control liquid returning to the

compressor.

Filter Drier

A large liquid line filter drier is installed to protect the refrigeration system from contaminants. The

core is not replaceable, so the entire unit should be changed if the refrigeration system is opened for

service.

Sight Glass/ Moisture Indicator

The sight glass moisture indicator is provided for charging purposes and to detect the presence of

water in the refrigeration system.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TEV)

The TEV meters liquid refrigerant into the evaporator. It has a factory set superheat of 10 F and

should not require adjustment. It is an externally equalized valve. In no circumstances should the

equalizer tube me remove or plugged.

Liquid Line Solenoid Valve (LLSV)

The liquid line solenoid valve protects against migration of liquid refrigerant to the compressor. It is

energized whenever the compressor is energized. The low pressure switch time delay allows for the

valve to be open and satisfy the low pressure switch before a low pressure alarm is generated.

Evaporator

The evaporator is a high efficiency water to refrigerant heat exchanger. It is made of 316 stainless

steel plate brazed together with copper. The strainer installed in the pipeline will protect the

evaporator from being plugged.
