Sequence of OperationSequence of Operation
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 difficult and time consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible. The refrigeration system uses four basic principles (laws) in its operation they are as follows:
1. "Heat always flows 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 which a liquid or gas changes state is dependent upon the pressure."
The refrigeration cycle begins at the compressor. Starting the compressor creates a low pressure in the suction line which draws refrigerant gas (vapor) into the compressor. The compressor then "compresses" this refrigerant, raising its pressure and its (heat intensity) Temperature.
The refrigerant leaves the compressor through the discharge line as a hot high pressure gas (vapor). The refrigerant enters the condenser coil where it gives up some of its heat. The condenser fan moving air across the coil's finned surface facilitates the transfer of heat from the refrigerant to the relatively cooler outdoor air.
When a sufficient quantity of heat has been 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 flow across the condenser coil.
The RAC design determines at exactly what point (in the condenser) the change of state (i.e. gas to a liquid) takes place. In all cases, 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 next enters the metering device. The metering device is a capillary tube. The purpose of the metering device is to "meter" (i.e. control or measure) the quantity of refrigerant entering the evaporator 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 coil is under a lower pressure (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 finned 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 flow 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 compressor causes the refrigerant to leave the evaporator through the suction line as a cool low pressure vapor. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor, where the cycle is repeated.

COMPONENTS OPERATION
& TESTING
WARNING
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR TESTING
COMPRESSORS
Compressors are single phase, 115 or 230/208 volt, depending on the model unit. All compressor motors are permanent split capacitor type using only a running capacitor across the start and run terminal.
All compressors are internally spring mounted and externally mounted on rubber isolators.
WINDING TEST
Remove compressor terminal box cover and disconnect wires from terminals. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity across the following: (See Figure 1)
GROUND TEST
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch one lead to the compressor body (clean point of contact as a good con­nection is a must) and the other probe in turn to each com­pressor terminal (see Figure 2.) If a reading is obtained, the compressor is grounded and must be replaced.
Figure 2
Typical Ground Test
1. Terminal "C" and "S" - no continuity - open winding ­replace compressor.
2. Terminal "C" and "R" - no continuity - open winding ­replace compressor.
3. Terminal "R" and "S" - no continuity - open winding ­replace compressor.
Figure 1
Compressor Winding Test
CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is normally due to broken or damaged suction and/or discharge valves, reducing the ability of the compressor to pump refrigerant gas.
This condition can be checked as follows:
1. Install a piercing valve on the suction and discharge or liquid process tube.
2. Attach gauges to the high and low sides of the system.
3. Start the system and run a “cooling or heating performance test.”
If test shows:
A. Below normal high side pressure.
B. Above normal low side pressure.
C. Low temperature difference across coil.
The compressor valves are faulty - replace the compressor.
THERMAL OVERLOAD (External)
Some compressors are equipped with an external overload which is located in the compressor terminal box adjacent to the compressor body (See Figure 3.)
23
Page 24
The overload is wired in series with the common motor terminal. The overload senses both major amperage and compressor temperature. High motor temperature or amperage heats the disc causing it to open and break the circuit to the common motor terminal.
CHECKING THE INTERNAL OVERLOAD
(See Figure 4)
Figure 4
Internal Overload
Figure 3
Heat generated within the compressor shell is usually due to:
1. High amperage.
2. Low refrigerant charge.
3. Frequent recycling.
External Overload
1. With no power to unit, remove the leads from the com­pressor terminals.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between terminals C-S and C-R. If not continuous, the compressor over­load is open and the compressor must be replaced.
4. Dirty condenser.
TERMINAL OVERLOAD - TEST
(Compressor - External Type)
1. Remove overload.
2. Allow time for overload to reset before attempting to test.
3. Apply ohmmeter probes to terminals on overload wires. There should be continuity through the overload.
TERMINAL OVERLOAD (Internal)
Some model compressors are equipped with an internal overload. The overload is embedded in the motor windings to sense the winding temperature and/or current draw. The overload is connected in series with the common motor terminal.
Should the internal temperature and/or current draw become excessive, the contacts in the overload will open, turning off the compressor. The overload will automatically reset, but may require several hours before the heat is dissipated.
FAN MOTOR
A single phase permanent split capacitor motor is used to drive the evaporator blower and condenser fan. A self-resetting overload is located inside the motor to protect against high temperature and high amperage conditions. (See Figure 5)

(See Figure 6)
2. Disconnect fan motor wires from fan speed switch or system switch.
3. Apply "live" test cord probes on black wire and common terminal of capacitor. Motor should run at high speed.
4. Apply "live" test cord probes on red wire and common terminal of capacitor. Motor should run at low speed.
5. Apply "live" test cord probes on each of the remaining wires from the speed switch or system switch to test intermediate speeds. If the control is in the
"MoneySaver" mode and the thermostat calls for cooling, the fan will start - then stop after approximately 2 minutes; then the fan and compressor will start together approximately 2 minutes later.
Figure 7
SYSTEM SWITCH
(SQ Only)
A five-position control switch is used to regulate the operation of the fan motor and compressor. The compressor can be operated with the fan operating at low, medium or high speed. The fan motor can also be operated independently on medium speed. See switch section as indicated on the decorative control panel.
SYSTEM CONTROL SWITCH - TEST (See Figure 7)
Disconnect the leads from the control switch. There must be continuity as follows:
1. "Off" Position - no continuity between terminals.
2. "Lo Cool" Position - between terminals "L1" and "C", "Lo" and MS".
3. "Med Cool" Position - between terminals "L1" and "C", "M" and "MS".
4. "Hi Cool" Position - between terminals L1" and "C", "H" and "MS".
5. "Fan Only" Position - between terminals "L1" and "2".
RESISTOR (Heat Anticipator) (SQ Only)
Failure of the resistor will cause prolonged "off" and "on" cycles of the unit. When replacing a resistor, be sure and use the exact replacement. Resistor rating 115 Volts 12500 ohm, 1.05 watts.

MONEYSAVER® SWITCH
(Rocker Switch) (See Figure 8)
This rocker switch can be depressed to either YES or NO. In the YES position you will get the most economical operation. Both the fan and the compressor will cycle on and off together, maintaining the selected temperature at a more constant level and reducing the humidity more efficiently. This control will only operate when the unit is in a cooling mode. In the NO position, the fan will run constantly as long as the unit is in the cooling mode. Disconnect leads from switch. Depress switch to function being tested.
1. When YES is depressed, there should be continuity between terminals "1" and "2."
2. When NO is depressed, there should be continuity between terminals "2" and "3."

THERMOSTAT - Models ES, YS, EM, YM, EL, YL (See Figure 29)
A cross ambient thermostat is used on all heat pump and electric heat units. In addition to cycling the unit in a heating or cooling operation, the thermostat will terminate the cooling cycle in the event ice forms on the evaporator coil, in this case the thermostat functions as a de-ice control. A resistor (anticipator) is positioned within a plastic block to supply a small amount of heat to the bulb area to prevent long "off cycles" in the "Cool-Fan Auto" (MoneySaver) position (see Figure 8.) A current feedback through the fan motor windings during "off cycle" completes the circuit to the resistor.
In the heating cycle, the heat anticipator is energized to supply a small amount of heat during the "on" cycle. This will open the contacts in the thermostat prematurely to maintain a closer differential between the "cut in" and "cut out" temperature. The heat anticipator is energized in the heating mode regardless of whether fan is placed in the automatic (MoneySaver) or constant run position.

TEST:
Cooling/Heating Models: Remove wires from thermostat
and check continuity between terminal "2" (common) and "3" for cooling. Check between terminals "2" (common) and "1" for heating. Also check that contacts in thermostat open after placing in either position. NOTE: Temperature must be within range listed to check thermostat. Refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual for additional information on thermostat testing.
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
No attempt should be made to adjust thermostat. Due to the sensitivity of the internal mechanism and the sophisticated equipment required to check the calibration, it is suggested that the thermostat be replaced rather than calibrated. Thermostat bulb must be straight to insure proper performance.
THERMOSTAT BULB LOCATION
The position of the bulb is important in order for the thermostat to function properly. The bulb of the thermostat should be located approximately 45° to a maximum of 60° from horizontal. Also, do not allow the thermostat bulb to touch the evaporator coil. (See Figures 30 and 31.)
DEFROST THERMOSTAT

(See Figure 32)
This thermostat is single pole - double throw with contacts between terminals "2" and "3" closing on temperature rise and contacts between terminals "2" and "1" closing on temperature fall. When the contacts between terminals "2" and "1" make, power is supplied to the heater element.
This control is dual purpose control that acts as an outdoor thermostat and defrost control.
When the sensing bulb, attached to the condenser coil, senses enough icing on the outdoor coil, it will interrupt power to the compressor and supply power to the heating element until the coil temperature reaches above 43°, then the heater will shut off and the unit will resume operating in the reverse cycle mode.
When the outdoor coil temperature drops below 20°, the unit will operate in electric heat mode continuously until the outdoor coil temperature rises above 43°.
The fan motor will not turn off when defrost occurs, and the 4­way valve will not reverse.

CAPACITOR, RUN (See Figure 35)
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main winding of a single phase permanent split capacitor motor such as the compressor and fan motor. A single capacitor can be used for each motor or a dual rated capacitor can be used for both.
Slide the bulb end of the thermostat defrost under the retainer as shown
Retainer
The capacitor's primary function is to reduce the line current while greatly improving the torque characteristics of a motor. The capacitor also reduces the line current to the motor by improving the power factor of the load. The line side of the capacitor is marked with a red dot and is wired to the line side of the circuit.
CAPACITOR - TEST
1. Remove capacitor from unit.
2. Check for visual damage such as bulges, cracks, or leaks.

CAPACITOR HOOK-UP
3. For dual rated, apply an ohmmeter lead to common (C) terminal and the other probe to the compressor (HERM) terminal. A satisfactory capacitor will cause a deflection on the pointer, then gradually move back to infinity.
4. Reverse the leads of the probe and momentarily touch the capacitor terminals. The deflection of the pointer should be two times that of the first check if the capacitor is good.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to check fan motor capacitor.
DUAL RATED RUN
NOTE: The slide (check) inside the valve is made of
teflon. Should it become necessary to replace the check valve, place a wet cloth around the valve to prevent overheating during the brazing operation.
CHECK VALVE OPERATION
In the cooling mode of operation, high pressure liquid enters the check valve forcing the slide to close the opposite port (liquid line) to the indoor coil. Refer to refrigerant flow chart. This directs the refrigerant through the filter drier and cooling capillary tube to the indoor coil.
In the heating mode of operation, high pressure refrigerant enters the check valve from the opposite direction, closing the port (liquid line) to the outdoor coil. The flow path of the refrigerant is then through the filter drier and heating capillary to the outdoor coil.
Failure of the slide in the check valve to seat properly in either mode of operation will cause flooding of the cooling coil. This is due to the refrigerant bypassing the heating or cooling capillary tube and entering the liquid line.
HEAT PUMPS: REVERSING VALVE
(See Figure 37)
NOTE: A shorted capacitor will indicate a low resistance
and the pointer will move to the "0" end of the scale and remain there as long as the probes are connected.
An open capacitor will show no movement of the pointer when placed across the terminals of the capacitor.
CHECK VALVE
(See Figure 36)
A unique two-way check valve is used on the reverse cycle heat pumps. It is pressure operated and used to direct the flow of refrigerant through a single filter drier and to the proper capillary tube during either the heating or cooling cycle
Figure36
ONE-WAY CHECK VALVE
Heat Pump Models)
A reversing valve is used to change the refrigerant flow within the system to permit heating or cooling.
The reversing valve consists of a main valve body which houses the slide and piston, plus a pilot valve which is activated by a solenoid.
There are three tubes connected to one side of the main valve body and one tube on the opposite side. The single tube is connected to the compressor discharge line. The center tube on the opposite side is the common suction line to the compressor. The outside tubes are connected to the indoor and outdoor coils.
The pivot valve is responsible for directing the refrigerant flow to the indoor or outdoor coil. There are three small tubes connected to the pilot valve body. The center pilot tube is the common pilot tube and is connected to the center suction line. The outside tubes are connected to each end of the main valve body. The pilot valve consists of a needle valve and spring.
When the solenoid is de-energized, the spring tension closes one pilot port while the other remains open. When the solenoid is energized, the opposite end is closed. The piston in the main valve is pressure operated and will always travel in the direction of the open pilot tube port which provides a path to the center tube. Pressure which will increase in the opposite side of the valve will escape through a bleed port located in each piston. When de-energized, the valve will be in the cooling position.

Figure 37
REVERSING VALVE
SOLENOID COIL (Heat Pump Models Only) (See Figure 37)
The solenoid coil is an electromagnetic type coil mounted on the reversing valve and is energized during the operation of the compressor in the heating cycle.
Should the reversing valve fail to shift during the heating cycle, test the solenoid coil.
TO TEST:
1. Disconnect power to unit.
2. Disconnect coil leads.
3. Attach probes of an ohmmeter to each coil lead and check for continuity.
TESTING REVERSING VALVE
Occasionally, the reversing valve may stick in the heating or cooling position or in the mid-position.
When stuck in the mid-position, part of the discharge gas from the compressor is directed back to the suction side, resulting in excessively high suction pressure.
Check the operation of the valve by starting the system and switching the operation from "Cooling" to "Heating" and then back to "Cooling". Do not hammer on valve.
If valve fails to change its position, test the voltage to the valve coil while the system is in the heating cycle. If voltage to coil is satisfactory, replace reversing valve. Should the valve fail to shift from cooling to heating, block the air flow through the outdoor coil and allow the discharge pressure to build in the system. Then switch the system from heating to cooling.
If the valve is stuck in the heating position, block the air flow through the indoor coil and allow discharge pressure to build in the system. Then switch the system from heating to cooling.
NOTE: Do not start unit with solenoid coil removed from valve,
or do not remove coil after unit is in operation. This will cause the coil to burn out.
VALVE, DRAIN PAN (See Figure 38)
During the cooling mode of operation, condensate which collects in the drain pan is picked up by the condenser fan blade and sprayed onto the condenser coil. This assists in cooling the refrigerant plus evaporating the water.
During the heating mode of operation, it is necessary that water be removed to prevent it from freezing during cold outside temperatures. This could cause the condenser fan blade to freeze in the accumulated water and prevent it from turning.
To provide a means of draining this water, a bellows type drain valve is installed over a drain opening in the base pan.
This valve is temperature sensitive and will open when the outside temperature reaches 40°F. The valve will close gradually as the temperature rises above 40°F to fully close at 60°F.
Should the valve fail to shift in either position after increasing the discharge pressure, replace the valve.
NOTE: When brazing a reversing valve into the system, it is of extreme importance that the temperature of the valve does not exceed 250° F at any time.
Wrap the reversing valve with a large rag saturated with water. "Re-wet" the rag and thoroughly cool the valve after each brazing operation of the four joints involved.
The wet rag around the reversing valve will eliminate conduction of heat to the valve body when brazing the line connection.

HEATING ELEMENT (See Figure 39)
SEALED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM REPAIRS
All heat pumps and electric heat models are equipped with a heating element with the exception of the YS09J10. The "YS", "ES" and "EK12" models are equipped with a 3.3 KW element. The "YM", "EM" and "EK18" models are equipped with a 4.0 KW element. The "YL" and "EL" models are equipped with a
5.2 KW element.
The heating element contains a fuse link and a heater limit switch. The fuse link is in series with the power supply and will open and interrupt the power when the temperature reaches 161.6°F, or a short circuit occurs in the heating element. Once the fuse link separates, a new fuse link must be installed. NOTE: Always replace with the exact
replacement.
The heater element has a high limit control. This control is a bimetal thermostat mounted in the top of the heating element.

The heating element for the "Y" model is energized by an outdoor thermostat. The outdoor thermostat is adjusted at a predetermined temperature to bring on the heating element and turn off the compressor. The room thermostat will then control the cycling of the element when the selected indoor temperature is reached.
Testing of the elements can be made with an ohmmeter across the terminals after the connecting wires have been removed. A cold resistance reading of approximately 14.5 ohms for the
3.3 KW heater, 11.9 ohms for the 4.0 KW heater and 9.15 ohms for the 5.2 KW heater should be registered.

HERMETIC COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
The following procedure applies when replacing components in the sealed refrigeration circuit or repairing refrigerant leaks. (Compressor, condenser, evaporator, capillary tube, refrigerant leaks, etc.)
1. Recover the refrigerant from the system at the process tube located on the high side of the system by installing a line tap on the process tube. Apply gauge from process tube to EPA approved gauges from process tube to EPA approved recovery system. Recover CFC's in system to at least 5%.
SPECIAL PROCEDURE IN THE CASE OF COMPRESSOR MOTOR BURNOUT
1. Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.
2. Remove compressor, capillary tube and filter drier from the system.
3. Flush evaporator condenser and all connecting tubing with dry nitrogen or equivalent, to remove all contamination from system. Inspect suction and discharge line for carbon deposits. Remove and clean if necessary.
2. Cut the process tube below pinch off on the suction side of the compressor.
3. Connect the line from the nitrogen tank to the suction process tube.
4. Drift dry nitrogen through the system and un-solder the more distant connection first. (Filter drier, high side process tube, etc.)
5. Replace inoperative component, and always install a new filter drier. Drift dry nitrogen through the system when making these connections.
6. Pressurize system to 30 PSIG with proper refrigerant and boost refrigerant pressure to 150 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 copper tubing. (Do not use regular hoses.)
10. Evacuate system to maximum absolute holding pressure of 200 microns or less. NOTE: This process can be speeded up 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.
4. Reassemble the system, including new drier strainer and capillary tube.
5. Proceed with processing as outlined under hermetic component replacement.
ROTARY COMPRESSOR SPECIAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE
Basically, troubleshooting and servicing rotary compressors is the same as on the reciprocating compressor with only a few exceptions.
1. Because of the spinning motion of the rotary, the mounts are critical. If vibration is present, check the mounts carefully.
2. The electrical terminals on the rotary are in a different order than the reciprocating compressors. The terminal markings are on the cover gasket. Use your wiring diagram to insure correct connections.
REFRIGERANT CHARGING
NOTE: BECAUSE THE RAC SYSTEM IS A SEALED SYSTEM, SERVICE PROCESS TUBES WILL HAVE TO BE INSTALLED. FIRST INSTALL A LINE TAP AND REMOVE REFRIGERANT FROM SYSTEM. MAKE NECESSARY SEALED SYSTEM REPAIRS AND VACUUM SYSTEM. CRIMP PROCESS TUBE LINE AND SOLDER END SHUT. DO NOT LEAVE A SERVICE VALVE IN THE SEALED SYSTEM.
11. Break vacuum by charging system from the high side with the correct amount of refrigerant specified. This will prevent boiling the oil out of the crankcase.
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.
40
Proper refrigerant charge is essential to proper unit operation. Operating a unit with an improper refrigerant charge will result in reduced performance (capacity) and/or efficiency. Accordingly, the use of proper charging methods during servicing 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 source of certain compressor failures if they remain uncorrected for any period of time. Quite often, other problems (such as low air
Page 41
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 compressor eventually causing a mechanical failure within the compressor. This mechanical failure can manifest itself as valve failure, bearing failure, and/or other mechanical failure. The specific type of failure will be influenced 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 sufficient cooling for the compressor motor. When this occurs, the motor winding temperature will increase causing the motor to overheat and possibly cycle open the compressor overload protector. Continued overheating of the motor windings and/or cycling of the overload will eventually lead to compressor motor or overload failure.
The weighed in method should always be used whenever a charge is removed from a unit such as for a leak repair, compressor replacement, or when there is no refrigerant charge left in the unit. To charge by this method, requires the following steps:
1. Install 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 property quantity of R-22 refrigerant.
METHOD OF CHARGING
The acceptable method for charging the RAC 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.
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 fittings to the process tubes on the discharge and suction of the compressor. Proper recovery refrigerant procedures need to be adhered to as outlined in EPA Regulations. THIS SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Undercharged Refrigerant SystemsUndercharged Refrigerant Systems
Undercharged Refrigerant Systems
Undercharged Refrigerant SystemsUndercharged Refrigerant Systems
An undercharged system will result in poor performance (low pressures, etc.) in both the heating and cooling cycle.
Whenever you service a unit with an undercharge 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 working pressures in the system (15 to 20 minutes).
Intermittent frosting and thawing of the evaporator is another indication of a low charge, however, frosting and thawing can also be caused by insufficient 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 charge. A check of the amperage drawn by the compressor motor should show a lower reading. (Check the Unit Specification.) After the unit has run 10 to 15 minutes, check the gauge pressures.
During the cooling cycle you can listen carefully at the exit of the metering device into the evaporator; an intermittent hissing and gurgling sound indicates a low refrigerant charge.
Gauges connected to system with an undercharge will have low head pressures and substantially low suction pressures.
41

NOTE: Heat pump refrigeration drawing
Overcharged Refrigerant SystemsOvercharged Refrigerant Systems
Overcharged Refrigerant Systems
Overcharged Refrigerant SystemsOvercharged Refrigerant Systems
Compressor amps will be near normal or higher. Noncondensables can also cause these symptoms. To confirm, 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 indicated, always make sure that the problem is not caused by air flow problems. Improper air flow over the evaporator coil may indicate some of the same symptoms as an overcharged system.
An over charge can cause the compressor to fail, since it would 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 evaporator will not be encountered because the refrigerant 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.

Restricted Refrigerant SystemRestricted Refrigerant System
Restricted Refrigerant System
Restricted Refrigerant SystemRestricted 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 partial 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 partial restriction of any type can be found by feel, as there is a temperature difference from one side of the restriction to the other. With a complete restriction, there will be no sound at the metering device entrance. An amperage check of the compressor with a partial restriction may show normal current when compared to the unit specification. 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 conditions are based primarily on a system in the cooling mode.
Troubleshooting a restricted refrigerant system can be difficult. The following procedures are the more common problems and solutions to these problems. There are two types of refrigerant restrictions: Partial restrictions 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 equalize very slowly.
Gauges connected to a completely restricted system will run in a deep vacuum. When the unit is shut off, the gauges will not equalize at all.

NOTE: Units are to be inspected and serviced by qualified service personnel only.
1. Clean the unit air intake filter at least every 250 to 300 fan hours of operation or when the unit's indicator light is on if so equipped. Clean the filters with a mild detergent in warm water and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
2. The indoor coil (evaporator coil), the outdoor coil (condenser coil) and base pan should be inspected periodically (yearly or bi-yearly) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt, leaves, paper, etc.). Clean the coils and base pan with a soft brush and compressed air or vacuum. If using a pressure washer, be careful not to bend the aluminium fin pack. Use a sweeping up and down motion in the direction of the vertical aluminum fin pack when pressure cleaning coils. Cover all electrical components to protect them from water or spray. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it in the sleeve.
NOTE: Do not use a caustic coil cleaning agent on coils or base pan. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and
degreaser.
Inspect the indoor blower housing, evaporator blade, condenser fan blade, and condenser shroud periodically (yearly or bi-yearly) and clean of all debris (lint, dirt, mold, fungus, etc.) Clean the blower housing area and blower wheel with an antibacterial / antifungal cleaner. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and degreaser on condenser fan and condenser shroud. Use warm or cold water when rinsing these items. Allow all items to dry thoroughly before reinstalling them.
3. Periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly): inspect all control components, both electrical and mechanical, as well as the power supply. Use proper testing instruments (voltmeter, ohmmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, etc.) to perform electrical tests. Use an air conditioning or refrigeration thermometer to check room, outdoor and coil operating temperatures. Use a sling psychrometer to measure wet bulb temperatures indoors and outdoors.
4. Inspect the surrounding area (inside and outside) to ensure that the units' clearances have not been compromised or altered.
5. Inspect the sleeve and drain system periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly) and clean of all obstructions and debris. Clean both areas with an antibacterial and antifungal cleaner. Rinse both items thoroughly with water and ensure that the drain outlets are operating correctly. Check the sealant around the sleeve and reseal areas as needed.
6. Clean the front cover when needed. Use a mild detergent. Wash and rinse with warm water. Allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it in the chassis.
