The purpose of this part of the Service Manual is to acquaint systems exists from the discharge port of the compressor to the Service Technician with the system components so that the cap tube. The low side is from the cap tube to the when he has a problem, he can intelligently analyze and compressor cylinders.

saturation temperature, we call its condition sub-cooled Suction Line liquid. The suction line is the tube which carries the superheated vapor refrigerant from the evaporator to the compressor. During all of the three processes in the condenser (de- superheating, condensing, sub-cooling), the refrigerant gives Compressor up heat;...

The power supply to the air conditioner must be wired an on-board motor generator, its wiring may be identical to through a circuit breaker or time delay fuse. The power the commercial power described above. supply must be 20 amperes and 12 AWG wire minimum. Any size There are, however, some motor generators on which both the current carrying leads are insulated from the ground.

condition can be analyzed by using an ohm meter. Be sure to through the condenser coil. remove all the leads from the compressor terminals before making this check. * Some models use a squirrel cage on both ends of the motor. If the resistance between any two terminals is 0 An important step in installing a replacement fan motor is to ohms, the motor windings are shorted.

Run Capacitors Good Capacitor The purpose of the run capacitors is to give the motors If the capacitor is good, the indicator will move from infinity starting torque and to maintain high power factor during (the left side), towards zero ohms and slowly return back to running.

connected in series with the start winding and it gets Grounded Capacitor the generated voltage of the start winding portion of When testing for a grounded capacitor, perform a continuity the compressor motor. This generated voltage is check between each terminal on the capacitor and the bare much higher than line voltage and varies with the metal of the capacitor case.

Answer: “The voltage could be low – ” “The selector switch may be open to the Check the voltage between #1 on the compressor.” overload switch and the “R” terminal of the compressor while it is not humming. This Rotate the switch to the compressor position and voltage must be 115 volts domestic USA check the selector switch terminals (L to 4) with models or 240 volts export/overseas models.
