8 A good understanding of the basic operation of the refrigeration system is essential for the service technician. Without this understanding, accurate troubleshooting of refrigeration system problems will be more diffi cult and time consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible.

10 Heat Anticipators Heat anticipators are small resistance heaters (wired in series with the "W" circuit) and built into most electromechanical thermostats. Their purpose is to prevent wide swings in room temperature during system operation in the HEA TING mode. Since they are wired in series, the "W" circuit will open if one b[...]

17 Method Of Charging The acceptable method for charging the V ert-I-Pak system is the Weighed in Charge Method. The weighed in charge method is applicable to all units. It is the preferred method to use, as it is the most accurate. The weighed in method should always be used whenever a charge is removed from a unit such as for a leak repair , comp[...]

18 Overcharged Refrigerant Systems Compressor amps will be near normal or higher . Noncondensables can also cause these symptoms. T o confi rm, remove some of the charge, if conditions improve, system may be overcharged. If conditions don’t improve, Noncondensables are indicated. Whenever an overcharged system is indi cated, always make sure tha[...]

19 All units are e quipped with c apillar y tube metering devices. Checking for restricted capillary tubes. 1. Connect pressure gauges to unit. 2. Start the unit in the cooling mode. If after a few minutes of operation the pressures are normal, the check valve and the cooling capillary are not restricted. The Reversing V alve controls the direction[...]

20 Touch Test in Heating/Cooling Cycle The only defi nite indications t hat the slide is in the mid- po - sition is if all three tubes on the suc tion side of the valve are hot af ter a few minutes of running time.
