1. Inspect refrigerant pressure with manifold gauge set
Test conditions:
Gauge reading:
low pressure side:
0.15 – 0.25 Mpa (1.5 – 2.5 Kgf/cm2)
high pressure side:
1.37 – 1.57 Mpa (14 – 16 kgf/cm2)
Symptom |
Probable cause |
Diagnosis |
Remedy |
During operation, pressure on low pressure side sometimes become a vacuum and sometime normal | Moisture in refrigerating system freezes at expansion valve orifice causing a temporary stop of cycle, however, when it melts, normal state is restored. |
