1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

1.1 Foreword

• This manual has been published to service the MovinCool CM 12. Please use this service

manual only when servicing the CM 12.

1.2 Definition of Terms

Describes precautions that should be observed in order to prevent injury to

the user during installation or unit operation.

CAUTION

NOTE Provides additional information that facilitates installation or unit operation.

Describes precautions that should be observed in order to prevent damage to

the unit or its components, which may occur during installation or unit

operation if sufficient care is not taken.

1.3 General Precautions

• All electrical work should only be performed by qualified electrical personnel. Repair to

electrical components by non-certified technicians may result in personal injury and/or

damage to the unit. All electrical components replaced must be genuine MovinCool parts,

purchased from an authorized reseller.

• Before replacing any refrigeration components, recover the refrigerant using standard

recovery procedures and equipment.

• When handling refrigerant, always wear proper eye protection and do not allow the

refrigerant to come in contact with your skin.

• Do not expose refrigerant to an open flame.

• The power supply for this unit should be a dedicated single outlet circuit with a UL

recognized short-circuit and ground-fault protective breaker to prevent electrical shock

from the unit.

• When brazing any tubing, always wear eye protection, and work only in a well ventilated

area.

• Disconnect power before servicing unit.

• Be careful of any sharp edges when working on unit.

2.4 Basic Construction

• The MovinCool CM 12 is compact in

construction due to the condenser and

evaporator being enclosed in one unit. The

interior of the unit is divided into two sections.

One section contains the evaporator which

cools room interior air. The other section is

comprised of the condenser, compressor and

control box.

2.5 Air Flow

• Air drawn from the rear face passes over the

condenser which extracts heat from the

refrigerant. The hot air is blown out through the

front exhaust air vent. Air taken in from the

right side face is cooled by the evaporator and

then blown through the front cool air duct.

4. REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

4.1 Refrigeration System Construction

The component parts of the refrigeration system include the following:

• Compressor, Evaporator, Condenser, Accumulator, Capillary tube, High pressure switch

These parts are all connected by copper tubing. All the connections have been brazed.

Operation Section

4.2 Compressor

• The compressor used for the unit is hermetically sealed. The compressor and the compressor

motor are in one casing.

(1) Compressor construction

• The construction of a rotary type compressor is

divided into two mechanisms; the drive

mechanism (compressor motor), and the

compression mechanism (compressor). When

the rotor shaft of the motor (drive mechanism)

turns, the roller (compression mechanism)

rotates to compress the refrigerant.

(2) Basic compressor operation

• The roller (compression mechanism) is set

eccentrically with a certain distance given from

the axis of the center of the cylinder. A spring

loaded blade is mounted on the cylinder. The

roller turns to compress the refrigerant in the

space between the cylinder and eccentrically

mounted roller. The blade is in contact with the

roller by means of spring force. The blade

partitions the space between the suction side

and the discharge side to keep compressed refrigerant from returning to the suction side. There

is no suction valve. The discharge valve is designed not to open until the pressure of the

refrigerant within the cylinder reaches or exceeds discharge side pressure. As a result, the

discharge valve prevents the backward flow of refrigerant gas.

1) Start of compression

1) The cylinder is filled with low pressure gas.

2) Since pressure in the discharge chamber is higher

than in the cylinder, the discharge valve is kept

closed.

2) Suction and compression

1) The pressure in the cylinder increases gradually.

2) Refrigerant suction begins on the suction side of

the cylinder.

3) The discharge valve remains closed.

3) Discharge

1) The pressure in the cylinder exceeds that in the

discharge chamber, and the discharge valve

opens.

2) On the suction side, refrigerant suction continues.

4) Completion of compression

1) When compression is completed, all of the

refrigerant has been drawn from the suction

chamber.

2) Operation then returns to step 1) (Start of

compression) and the above process of suction

and compression continues repeatedly in

succession.

(4) Compressor lubrication

• The lubrication system is comprised of a

hollow shaft, an oil scraper mounted at the end

face, hollow shaft, a shaft journal (shaft

bearing), and the lubrication groove for the

shaft journal. The lubrication groove is wider

than the oil hole. When the shaft turns, oil is

scraped upward by the oil scraper along the

inside diameter of the hollow shaft. The oil is

fed through the oil hole by centrifugal force,

then supplied to the lubrication groove for each

shaft journal, lubricating the bearing. In this

lubrication system, oil enters into each bearing

separately and returns to the oil reservoir. This

system effectively prevents bearing

temperature increases, and offers high

reliability. In addition, the specially treated

shaft journal keeps the bearing from being damaged during high temperature operation.

4.3 Condenser

• The condenser is a heat exchanger with

copper tubes that are covered with thin

aluminum projections called plate fins.

• Heat is given off and absorbed by air being

pulled across the condenser fins by the

centrifugal fan and then expelled through the

exhaust air duct.

4.4 Capillary Tube

• The capillary tube is a long thin tube utilizing

line flow resistance to serve as an expansion

valve. The length and the inner diameter of the

capillary tube are determined by the capacity of

the refrigeration system, specified operating

conditions, and the amount of refrigerant. The

capillary tube causes the high pressure, high

temperature liquid refrigerant sent from the

condenser to expand rapidly as the refrigerant

is sprayed out through the fixed orifice in the capillary tube. As a result, the temperature and

state of the refrigerant becomes low and mist-like respectively, causing it to evaporate easily.

4.5 Evaporator

19

• The evaporator is a heat exchanger covered

with plate fins. Heat is removed from the air

being pulled across the evaporator by the

centrifugal fan and the resulting cool air is

expelled through the cool air vent.

4.6 Accumulator

• The accumulator is mounted on the suction

gas piping between the evaporator and the

compressor. The accumulator separates the

liquid refrigerant from the gas refrigerant,

allowing only the gas refrigerant to enter the

compressor. In the accumulator, suction gas is

led into a cylindrical vessel where the speed of

the gas is decreased. This process separates

the refrigerant contained in the gas by the force

of gravity, causing the refrigerant to accumulate at the bottom of the vessel. As a result, the

compressor is protected from possible damage caused by liquid refrigerant intake.

4.7 High-Pressure Switch

• The high-pressure switch prevents the

condenser and compressor from being

damaged by excessive high pressure in the

high-pressure line of the refrigeration cycle.

The switch is normally closed. The snap disk

responds to the variations in pressure and, if

pressure is abnormally high, the snap disk

moves down to push the pin down, causing the

internal contacts to open. This interrupts the

ground signal at the relay board which turns the compressor off.
