the refrigerant and forces it into the condenser tubes.
The clutch assembly provides a means of belt driving
the compressor by the bus engine. The suction and
discharge service valves enable servicing of the
compressor. Suction and discharge servicing
(charging) ports mounted on the service valves enable
connection of charging hoses for servicing of the
compressor, as well as other parts of the refrigerant
circuit. The high pressure switch contacts open on a
pressurerisetoshutdownthesystem whenabnormally
high refrigerantpressures occur.The electric unloaders
provide a means of controlling compressor capacity,
which enables control of temperature inside the bus.
1.2.5 Fresh Air Connection
A connection (see Figure 1-1) is provided on the unit
curb side for connection of the OEM supplied fresh air
ducting.
1.2.6 System Operating Controls And Compo-
nents
The system is operated by a Carrier Transicold
Micromax microprocessor controller (Figure 1-4) which
consists of a logic board, relay board, circuit breakers,
relays, and an OEM supplied driver control panel or a
Carrier Micromate control panel (Figure 1-8). The logic
board regulates the operationalcycles of the system by
energizing or de--energizing relays in response to
deviations in interior temperature or syst em pressures.
Modes of operation include Cooling, Heat and Vent.
With the Micromate set in the AUTO mode, the logic
board will cycle the system between the operating
modes as required to maintain desired set point
temperature.
In the vent mode the evaporator fans are operated to
circulate air in the bus interior.
In the heat mode the heat valve and the OEM supplied
floor blower and/or boost pump are energized. The
evaporator fans operate to circulate air over the
evaporator coil in the same manner as the vent mode.
In the cooling mode the compressor is energized while
the evaporator and condenser fans are operated. The
compressor is fitted with cylinder unloaders to match
compressor capacity to the bus requirements. Once
interior temperature reaches the desired set point, the
system may operate inthe clutch cycle or reheat mode.
A controller programmed for clutch cycle will
de--energize the compressor clutch and allow the
system to operate in the vent mode until further cooling
is required. A controller programmed for reheat will
maintaincompressoroperationandopenthe heatvalve
to allow reheating of the return air. In the reheat mode
interior temperature is maintained at the desired set
point while additional dehumidification takes place.
