8 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 diffi cult and time consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible. The refriger...

If after a few minutes of operation the pressures are normal, the check valve and the cooling capillary are not restrict...

20 Touch Test in Heating/Cooling Cycle The only defi nite indications that the slide is in the mid-po-sition is if all three tubes on the suction side of the valve are hot after a few minutes of running time.

21 WARNING DANGER OF BODILY INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK When working on high voltage equipment - turn the electrical power off before attaching test leads. Use test leads with alligator type clips - clip to terminals, turn power on, take reading - turn power off before removing leads. Comp...

22 Single Phase Resistance Test Remove the leads from the compressor terminals and set the ohmmeter on the lowest scale (R x 1). Touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common to start ("C" to "S"). Next, touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common to run ("C"...

23 From the supply line on a typical 230 volt circuit, a 115 volt potential exists from the "R" terminal to ground through a possible short in the capacitor. However, from the "S" or start terminal, a much higher potential, possibly as high as 400 volts, exists because of the counter...
