h. Filter Drier
The drier is cylinder shell containing a drying agent and
screen. It is installed in the liquid line and functions to
keep the system clean and remove moisture from the
refrigerant. A sight glass may also be installed down-
stream of the drier. The sight glass is fitted with a paper
element that changes color to indicate moisture content.
i. Receiver
Liquid refrigerant from the condenser drains into the
receiver. The receiver serves as a liquid reservoir when
there are surges due to load changes in the system; as a
storage space when pumping down the system and as a
liquid seal against the entrance of refrigerant gas into
the liquid line.
The receiver is provided with two bullseye sight glasses,
for the observation of liquid level, and a pressure relief
valve.
1.4 EVAPORATOR SECTION
The evaporator section contains the evaporator coil,
expansion valve (TXV), heat exchanger, defrost ter-
mination thermostat(s) and electrical evaporator fan
motors.
1.4.1 Thermal Expansion Valve
The thermal expansion valve is an automatic device
which controls the flow of liquid to the evaporator ac-
cording to changes in superheat to the refrigerant leav-
ing the evaporator. The thermal expansion valve main-
tains a relatively constant degree of superheat in the gas
leaving the evaporator regardless of suction pressure.
Thus, the valve has a dual function; automatic expan-
sion control and prevention of liquid return to the com-
pressor.
1.4.2 Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is of the tube in tube type con-
nected in the main suction line and liquid line. Within the
heat exchanger, the cold suction gas is used to cool the
warm liquid refrigerant. This results in greater system
capacity and efficiency.
1.4.3 Evaporator Coil
The evaporator coil is a tube and fin type. The operation
of the compressor maintains a reduced pressure with
the the coil. At this reduced pressure, the liquid refriger-
ant evaporates at a temperature sufficiently low enough
to absorb heat from the air. Air movement over the
condenser is provided by two or three electric fans.
1.4.4 Electric and Water Heat
The unit can be equipped with Electric Heat, Water
Heat, and Electric/Water heat. See Figure 1-12. When
the controller calls for heat, the heater contactor will
close or valve will open and engage the heat system.
