Electric Drain Pan Heater (Std)Advantages
• In this option, the drain pan surface is heated with low
wattage electric heater(s)
• The electrical power requirements to the evaporator are
unchanged
Hot Gas Drain Pan LoopAdvantages
• In this option, hot refrigerant gas passes through a loop
of copper tubing that heats the drain pan surface before it
defrosts the evaporator coil
• Lower cost solution
• Defrost is even quicker because more hot gas is available to
defrost the evaporator coil
• In applications where there is limited evaporator accessibility (ex:
controlled atmosphere rooms)

REFRIGERATION OPERATION
The refrigeration operation of the hot gas system is very
similar to a standard refrigeration system. An external
thermostat is connected to the hot gas control board
at the terminal block connections labeled T-Stat and
C (for common). When the normally open contact
inside the thermostat closes (a call for cooling), the hot
gas control board responds by activating a series of
solenoids and contactors (described below) in order to
initiate and maintain a refrigeration cycle. Later, when
the thermostat contact opens, the hot gas control
board deactivates the solenoids in a preset manner in
order to safely turn o the refrigeration process and
maintain an O condition.
At initial power up, the system defaults to the OFF
mode for a minimum of two minutes. Following
the two-minute hold o period, the control circuit
examines the state of the thermostat input. If the
thermostat input signal is activated (closed between TStat and C), the system begins the refrigeration startup
process. Full refrigeration mode (or COOL mode)
is achieved when the control board has activated
the solenoids necessary to provide refrigerant ow
between the evaporator(s) and the condensing unit
(Suction Solenoid and Liquid Line Solenoid), activated
the compressor contactor, deployed the appropriate
control over the condenser fans, and turned on the
evaporator fans.
Refrigerant Solenoid and Compressor Contactor
Control: The Suction Solenoid is initially activated
following the power-up two-minute hold o time.
It is maintained in the ON state until a defrost cycle
is initiated. The timing of the liquid line solenoid
(LLS) activation is based upon the saturated suction
temperature (SST) which is calculated from the suction
pressure value. If the SST is greater than 15ºF, the
compressor contactor is activated before the LLS is
activated in order to decrease the suction pressure
prior to startup. When the SST drops to -5ºF, the LLS
is activated. If the SST does not fall to -5ºF within 2
minutes, Er12 is activated and the system goes to OFF
mode.
If the SST is 15ºF or less, the LLS is activated
immediately. When the SST rises to -10ºF for medium
temperature applications or -20ºF for low temperature
applications, the compressor contactor is activated. If
the SST fails to rise in 2 minutes, ER11 is activated and
the system goes to OFF mode.
When the thermostat signal is deactivated, the liquid
line solenoid is turned o immediately. The compressor
contactor will stay activated until the suction pressure
falls below the pre-programmed cut out pressure. The
compressor contactor and all condenser fan contactors
will be deactivated simultaneously. The evaporator fans
will continue running.
Condenser Fan Control: When the Condensing Unit
Model is selected in the Program Review Menu; the
program automatically activates the default Head
Pressure Control Scheme.
Method: Pressure Fan Cycling (PRES) All fans
Minimum condensing temperature: 65F
The default ON and OFF settings are optimized to
maximize energy eciency while still providing
adequate pressure for the thermostatic expansion
valve(s) to work properly. The parameters are
refrigerant specic. Fans are staged to minimize
uctuations in head pressure during operation.
During refrigeration operation, the hot gas controller
monitors liquid pressure to determine if each fan
should be ON or OFF.
These settings and other fan control options may be
modied by turning on the Expert Mode (XPRT) in the
Program Menu. See Program Review and Optional
Controls for more information.
Evaporator Fan Control: After initial power-up, the
evaporator fans will be turned o. When the system
initiates the rst cooling cycle, the hot gas controller
monitors the temperature value of the evaporator
defrost termination sensor mounted on the evaporator
suction headers. When the controller determines that
the suction header has reached the refreeze setpoint,
the evaporator fans will be activated. If there are
two evaporators, the fans will be energized by the
rst sensor to achieve setpoint. Once activated, the
evaporator fans will continue to run until either a
defrost cycle is initiated, or if the system is placed in
SERVICE mode.
Anti Short-Cycle Protection: During cooling mode,
the control board is programmed to allow a minimum
system ON time of 1 minute and a minimum OFF time
of 2 minutes.
29
Pump Down
At the end of each cooling cycle, when the box
temperature is met, the hot gas control system will
pump down and turn o the compressor.
To pump down, the Liquid Line Solenoid(s) is
deactivated and the compressor runs until the pressure
measured at the suction accumulator falls below
the pre-programmed cut out pressure value, or two
minutes has elapsed. The compressor is then turned
o until the start of the next cooling cycle. During the
pump down process, the LED display will show PMPD.
Manual Pump down: A single pole, single throw
switch is connected to the Service SW input on the hot
gas control board. Activating this switch (closing the
contact) will cause the system to pump down and shut
o. While in Service mode, the evaporator fans will turn
o. Note that the system will not restart until the switch
contact has been opened. The hot gas controller will
display SERV while in Service mode.
The system can also be pumped-down by pressing the
SERVICE button twice. To restart the system, press the
CLEAR button.
30
DEFROST OPERATION
Defrost Timing/Schedule Programming
T
he hot gas controller can be programmed with up
to 12 defrost start times. The Program Review menu
section describes the process to program or delete
a valid start time. Note that clearing a start time by
pressing CLEAR and the ENTER will disable all start
times following the one being cleared. There must be
30 minutes of elapsed time following a start of defrost
before another defrost can be scheduled. A defrost
cycle can be initiated manually at any time.
Force Defrost Manually
To manually force the start of a defrost-cycle, press
the FORCE DEFROST button. If the system is in COOL
mode, the system will pump down and go to the o
mode before the defrost process is started.
Defrost Process
The defrost process has four steps: Pre-defrost (DEF1)
pressure equalization, Defrost operation (DEF2), Postdefrost (DEF3) pressure equalization and drain down,
and Refreeze (FREZ).
DEF1:
Pre-defrost, or defrost step 1, always follows activation
of O mode. If the system is in Cool mode when the
defrost cycle is activated, the control will pump down
and go to O mode before activating pre-defrost.
The purpose of DEF1 is to equalize the refrigerant
pressures between the condensing unit receiver
and the evaporator(s). This is accomplished by rst
deactivating the evaporator fans, and the suction
solenoid. Next the Bypass Solenoid and the evaporator
Pan Heater contactor are activated. The time duration
of the pressure equalization is programmed as EQUT in
the PROGRAMREVIEW menu.
DEF2:
After the equalization time has elapsed, the Bypass
Solenoid is deactivated. The Defrost Solenoid is
activated 1 second later, followed by the 3-Way valve
solenoid 1 second after that. Next, the pressure
regulator control algorithm is enabled. The initial
position is full open, but it quickly makes adjustments
in order to stabilize the pressures and temperatures
seen at the inlet of the suction accumulator.
The compressor contactor turns on at the same time
that the pressure regulator is activated. The ambient
temperature is measured, and a determination is made
of how many condenser fans should be operating. The
correct number of condenser fans is activated at the
same time as the compressor contactor.
During the DEF2 operation, the pressure regulator
continues to maintain the appropriate volume of
refrigerant ow through the system based upon the
current ambient conditions, the refrigerant type, and
the type of cooling application.
Termination of defrost is accomplished by either both
evaporators reaching their target termination temps, or
the liquid pressure measured between the receiver and
the condenser coil reaching its target pressure, or the
pre-programmed fail safe time.
When one of the termination factors is realized, the
compressor, condenser fan(s), and the defrost solenoid
are turned o. The 3-Way valve and the Pan heaters
are left on. The pressure regulator is activated to 100%
open, and DEF3 begins.
DEF3:
Post-defrost has two purposes. The rst is the transfer of
high pressure refrigerant at the evaporator back to the
condenser receiver by way of the pressure regulator.
The pressure regulator is open 100% during this step.
The second purpose is drain down time for the warm
evaporators. This allows the water that was melted o
of the coil to drain out of the evaporator drain pan.
The time duration for this step is identical to the DEF1
equalization time.
After the completion of the delay time period, the 3way valve and the pan heater contactor are turned o.
One second later the suction solenoid is turned on, and
then one second after that the compressor turns on.
The condenser fan control algorithm is also enabled.
When the pressure measured at the suction sensor falls
below 20 psig, the liquid line solenoid is activated and
the process step changes to refreeze.
31
FREZ:
The refreeze step is identical to cooling mode except
that the evaporator fans are turned o. This is to
allow the evaporator coils to freeze any remaining
water that might be left over from the drain down
step so that when the fans turn on, the water will
not be sprayed into the refrigerated space. When the
evaporator reaches the refreeze setpoint, the fans
turn on and the system begins a cooling cycle. If the
thermostat is satised, or deactivated, the system will
run a cooling cycle for two minutes and then pump
down and shut o.
After the compressor is energized, the suction stop
valve may be pulsed to limit the suction pressure at
the compressor.
