Cycle Parts
Trouble analysis
1. Check temperature difference between intake and discharge air and operating current.
Temp. Difference
Operating Current
NOTICE
Temperature difference between intake and discharge air depends on room air humidity. When the room air
humidity is relativery higher, temperature difference is smaller. When the room air humidity is relatively lower tem-
perature difference is larger.
2. Check temperature and pressure of refrigeration cycle.
Suction pressure
(Compared with
(Compared with
the normal value)
the normal valve)
Higher
Lower
NOTICE
1. The suction pressure is usually 8.5~9.5kg/cm
2. The temperature can be measured by attaching the thermometer to the low pressure tubing and wrap it with
putty.
