Refrigeration System Sequence of Operation
A good understanding of t he basic operation of the refrigera ­tion system is essential for the s ervic e technician. Without t his understanding, accurate troubleshooting of refrigeration system problems will be more diffi cult and time consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible. The re frigeration system uses four basic principles (laws) in its operation they are as follows:
1. “Heat always fl ows from a warmer body to a cooler body . ”
2. “Heat must be added to or removed from a substance before a change in state can occur”
3. “Flow is always from a higher pressure area to a lower pressure area.”
4. “The temperature at w hich a liquid or gas c hanges state is dependent upon the pressure.”
The refrigerat ion cycle begins at the compre ssor. Starting the
compressor creates a low pressure in the suction line which draws refrigerant gas (vapor) into the compressor. The compressor then
“compresse s” this refrigerant, raising it s pressure and its (heat
intensity) T emperature.
The refrigerant leaves the compressor through the discharge line
as a hot high pressure gas (vapor). The refrigerant enter s the condenser coil where it gives up some of its heat. The condenser fan moving air across the coil’s fi nned surface facilitates the transfer of heat from the refrigerant to the relatively cooler outdoor air.
When a suffi cient quantity of heat has be en removed from the refrigerant gas (vapor), the refrigerant will “condense” (i.e. change to a liquid). Once the refrigerant has been condensed (changed) to a liquid it is cooled even further by the air that continues to fl ow across the condenser coil.
In the case of the capillary tube this is accomplished (by design) through size (and length) of device, and the pressure difference present across the device.
Since the evaporator co il is under a lower p res sure (due to the suction created by the compressor) than the liquid line, the liquid refrigerant leaves the metering device entering the evaporator coil. As it enters the evaporator coil, the larger area and lower pressure allows the refrigerant to expand and lower its temperature (heat intensity). This expansion is often referred to as “boiling”. Since the unit’s blower is moving Indoor air across the fi nned surface of the evaporator coil, the expanding refrigerant absorbs some of that heat. This results in a lowering of the indoor air temperature, hence the “cooling” effect.
The expansion and absorbing of heat cause the liquid refrigerant
to evaporate (i.e. change to a gas). Once the refrigerant has been evaporated (changed to a gas), it is heated even further by the air that continues to fl ow across the evaporator coil.
The particular system design determines at exactly what point (in
the evaporator) the change of state (i.e. liquid to a gas) takes place. In all cases, however, the refrigerant must be totally evaporated (changed) to a gas before leaving the evaporator coil.
The low pressure (suction) created by the compre ssor caus es
the refrigerant to le ave the evaporator through t he suctio n line as a cool low pressure vapor . The refrigerant then returns to the compressor, where the cycle is repeated.
Refrigerant System Components
The RAC design determines at exactly what point (in the condenser)
the change of state (i.e. gas to a liquid) takes plac e. In all cas es, however, the refrigerant must be totally condensed ( changed) to a
liquid before leaving the condenser coil.
The refrigerant leaves the condenser coil through the liquid line
as a warm high pressure liquid. It next will pass through the refrigerant drier (if so equipped). It is the function of the drier to trap any moisture present in the system, contaminants, and large particulate matter.
The liquid refrigerant nex t enters the metering device. The
metering device is a capillary tube. The purpose of the metering device is to “meter ” (i.e. control or me asure) th e quantity of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil.

3. Introducing refrigerant charge into high side of the system.
4. Accurately weighing the refrigerant charge actually introduced into the system.
5. Facilities for fl owing nitrogen throu gh refriger ation tubing during all brazing processes.
HERMETIC COMPONENT REP LAC EMEN T
The following proc edure applies when replacing component s in the sealed refrig eration circuit or repairing ref rigerant leaks. (Compressor, condenser, evaporator, capillary tub e, refrigerant
leaks, etc.)
1. Recover the refr igerant from the system at the proc ess tube located on the high side of the system by installing a line tap on the proc ess tube. App ly gauge from pr ocess tube to EP A ap pro v ed gauges from process tube to E PA approved recovery system. Recover CFC’s in system to at least 5%.
2. Cut the process tube below pinch off on the suction side of the compressor .
3. Connect the line from the nitr ogen tank to the suction process tube.
4. Dr ift dry ni trogen through the system and un- solder the more distant connection fi rst. (Filter drier, high side process tube, etc.)
5. Replace inoperative component, and always install a new lter drier. Drift dr y nitrogen through the system when making these connections.
HERMETIC COMPONENT REP LAC EMEN T cont’d
6. Pressurize system to 30 PSIG with proper refrigerant and boost refrigerant pressure to 1 50 PSIG with dry nitrogen.
7. Leak test complete system with electric halogen leak detector, correcting any leaks found.
8. Reduce the system to zero gauge pressure.
9. Connect vacuum pump to high side and low side of system with deep vacuum hoses, or c op per tubin g. (Do n ot use regular hoses.)
1 0. Evacuate system to maximum absolute holding pressure
of 200 micro ns or less. NOTE: This process c an be accelerated by use of heat lamps, or by breaking the vacuum with refrigerant or dry nitrogen at 5,000 microns. Pressure system to 5 PSIG and leave in system a minimum of 10 minutes. Release refrigerant, and proceed with evacuation of a pressure of 200 microns or less.
11. Break vacuum by charging system from the high side with the correct amount of liquid refrigerant specifi ed. This will prevent boiling the oil out of the crankcas e, and damage to the compressor due to over heating.
NOTE: If the entire charge will not enter the high side, allow the remainder to enter the low side in small increments while operating the unit.
12. Restart unit several times after allowing pressures to stabilize. Pinch off process tubes, cut and solder the ends. Remove pinch off tool, and leak check the process tube ends.
SPECIAL PROCE DURE IN THE CASE OF COM PRESSOR MOTOR BURNOUT
1. Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.
2. Remove compressor, capillary tube and fi lter drier from the system.
3. Flush evaporator condenser and all connecting tubing with dry nitro gen or equivalent, to remove all contamination from system. Inspect suction and discharge line for carbon deposits. Remove and clean if necessary.
4. Reassemble the system, including new drie r str ainer and capil l a ry t u b e .
5. Proceed with processing as outlined under hermetic component replacement.
ROTA RY COMPRESSOR SPECIAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE
Basically, troubleshooting and ser vicing rotary c ompressors is the same as on the reciprocating compressor with only one main exception:
NEVER, under any circumstances, charge a rotary compressor through the LOW side. Doing so would cause permanent damage to the new compressor.
9
Refrigerant Charging
NOTE: BECAUSE THE R AC SYSTEM IS A SEA LED SYSTEM, SERVICE PROC ESS TUBES WILL H AVE TO BE INSTALLED. FIRST INSTALL A LINE TAP AND REMOV E REFRIGERA NT FROM SYSTEM. MAKE NECESSARY SEALED SYSTEM REPAIRS AND VACUUM SYSTEM. CRIMP PRO CESS TUB E LINE AND SOLDER END SHUT. DO NOT LEAVE A SERVICE VAL VE IN THE SEALED SYSTEM.
Proper refrigerant charge is essential to proper unit operation. Operating a unit with an improper refrigerant charge will result in reduced performanc e (capacity) and/or effi ciency. Accordingly, the use of proper charging meth ods during ser vicing will insure that the unit is functioning as designed and that its compressor will not be damaged.
Too much refrigerant (overcharge) in the system is just as bad (if
not worse) than not enough refrigerant (undercharge). They both can be the sourc e of cert ain compress or failures if they remain uncorrec ted for any period of time. Quite of ten, other problems (such as low air fl ow across ev aporator , etc. ) are misdiagnosed as refrigerant charge problems. The refrigerant circuit diagnosis chart will assist you in properly diagnosing these systems.
An overcharged unit will at times return liquid refrigerant (slugging) back to the suction side of the c ompr essor eventually c ausing a mechanical failure within the compressor. This mechanical failure can manifest itself as valve failure, bearing failure, and/or other mechanical failure. The specifi c type of failure will be infl uenced by the amount of liquid being returned, and the length of time the slugging continues.
Not enough refrigerant (Undercharge) on the other hand, will cause the temperature of the suction gas to increase to the point where it does not provide suffi cient cooling for the compressor motor. When this occurs, the m otor w in ding temp er ature w ill inc r eas e c ausin g the motor to overheat and possibl y cycle open the compres sor overload protector. Continued overheating of the moto r win dings and/or cycling of the overload will eventually lead to compressor motor or overload failure.
METHOD OF CHAR GIN G
The acceptabl e method for charging the RAC system is the
Weighed in Charge Method. The weighed in c harge 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, compress or replacement, or when there is no refrigerant charge left in th e unit.
To charge by this method, requires the following steps:
1. Inst all a piercing valve to remove refrigerant from the sealed system. (Piercing valve must be removed from the system before recharging.)
2. Recover Refrigerant in accordance with EPA regulations.
3. Install a process tube to sealed system.
4. Make necessary repairs to system.
5. Evacuate system to 250 - 300 microns or less.
6. Weigh in refrigerant with the pr opert y quantity of R-22 refrigerant.
7. Start unit, and verify performance.
8. Crimp the process tube and solder the end shut.
NOTE: In order to access the sealed system it will be necessary to install Schrader type fi ttings to the process tubes on the discharge and suction of the compress or. Proper refrigerant recovery procedures need to be adhered to as outlined in EPA Regulations. THIS SHOULD ONL Y BE ATTEMPTED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Refrigerant Charging
UNDERCHARGED REFRIGERANT SYSTEMS
An undercharged system will result in poor performance (low pressures, etc.) in both the heating and cooling cycle.
Whenever you servic e a unit with an under charge of refrigerant, always suspect a leak. The leak must be repaired before charging the unit.
To check for an undercharged system, turn the unit on, allow the compressor to run long enough to establish work in g pr essures in the system (1 5 to 20 minutes ).
During the co oling c ycle you c an listen c aref ully at the exit of t he metering device into the evaporato r; an intermittent hissing an d gurgling sound indicates a l ow refrigerant charge. Intermit tent frosting and thawing of the evaporator is another indication of a
NOTE: Heat pump refrigeration drawing
low charge, however, frosting and thawing can also be caused by insuffi cient air over the evaporator.
Checks for an undercharged system can be made at the compressor
. If the compressor seems quieter than normal, it is an indication of
a low refrigerant c harge. A check of t he amper age drawn by the compressor m otor should show a l ower reading. (Check the Uni t Specifi cation.) After the unit has run 10 to 15 minutes, check the gauge pressures.
Gauges connec ted to system with an under charge will have low head pressures and substantially low suction pressures.
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 condi-
tions don’t improve, Noncondensables are indicated.
Whenever an overcharged system is indi cated, always make sure
that the problem is not c aused by air fl ow problems. Improper air fl ow over the evaporator coil may indicate some of the same symptoms as an overcharged system.
An over charge can caus e the com press or to fail, since it wo uld be “slugged” with liquid refrigerant.
The charge for any system is critical. When the compressor is noisy ,
suspect an overcharge, when you are sure that the air quantity over the evaporator coil is correct. Icing of the evapora tor w ill not be encountered because the refriger ant will boil later if at all. Gauges connected to system will usually have higher head pressure (depending upon amount of overcharge). Suction pressure should be slightly higher .
11
Refrigerant Charging
RESTRICTED REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
A quick check for either condition begins at the evaporator. With a partial restriction, there may be gurgling sounds at the metering device entrance to the evaporator. The evaporator in a par tial restriction could be partially frosted or have an ice ball close to the entrance of the metering device. Frost may continue on the suction line back to the compressor .
Often a par tial restriction of any t ype can be found by feel, as there is a temperature dif ferenc e from one side of t he restr ict ion to the other.
With a complete restriction, there will be no sound at the metering device entrance. An amp erage check of the co mpressor with a partial restriction may show normal current when compared to the unit specifi cation. With a complete restriction the current drawn may be considerably less than normal, as the compressor is running in a deep vacuum (no load). Much of the area of the condenser will be relatively cool since most or all of the liquid refrigerant will be stored there.
The following condit ions are based primar ily on a system in the coolin g m od e.
Troubleshooti ng a restricte d refrigeran t system can be diffi cult. The fo llowing proce dures ar e the more comm on proble ms and solution s to these prob lems. There a re two type s of refrigera nt restrict ions: Partial r estricti ons and complete restrictions.
• A partial restriction allows some of the refrigerant to circulate through the system .
• With a complete restriction there is no circulation of refrigerant in the system.
• Restricted refrigerant systems display the same symptoms as a “low-charge condition.”
• When the unit is shut off, the gauges may equal ize ver y slowly.
• Gauges connected to a completely re stricted system will run in a deep vacuum. When the unit is shut off, the gauges will not equalize at all.
