INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description

Beverage-Air Refrigeration products, refrigerators and freezers, are distinctly designed to accommodate a
wide variety of food service needs and situations. Beverage-Air products are designed to keep
refrigerated products at 38 F, while frozen products are kept at 0 F for maximum safety and freshness.
Wine cabinets are set to run from 55° to 65°F

1.2 Glossary of Terms

Compressor - The compressor is the heart of the system. The compressor does just what its name
states. It compresses the low pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and compresses it into a
high pressure vapor. The inlet to the compressor is called the “Suction Line”. It brings the low pressure
vapor into the compressor. After the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high pressure Vapor,
the vapor is pumped into the “Discharge Line”.

Condenser Coil - The “Discharge Line” leaves the compressor and runs to the inlet of the condenser coil

located on top of the cabinet. Because the refrigerant is compressed, it is a hot high pressure vapor (as
pressure goes up – temperature goes up). The hot vapor enters the condenser coil and starts to flow
through the tubes. Cool air is blown across the outside of the finned tubes of the condenser coil (usually
by a fan or water with a pump). Since air is cooler than the refrigerant, heat moves from the refrigerant to
the cooler air (energy goes from hot to cold – “latent heat”). As the heat is removed from the refrigerant, it
reaches its “saturated temperature” and starts to condense (change states), into a high pressure liquid.

The high pressure liquid leaves the condenser coil through the “liquid line” and travels to the “metering

device”. Sometimes running through a filter dryer first, removes any dirt or foreign particles.

Defrost - The term is used to identify the function of a refrigerator or freezer to remove frost or ice from
the internal evaporator coil.

Differential - An increment between where the compressor turns on and off.
Setpoint - This is the refrigerator or freezer cut out temperature set by the operator. Prior to shipping,

refrigerators are factory preset at 35°F and freezers are factory preset at -4°F.
