1.2. Trouble-Shooting in the Electric Circuit. Before systematic trouble-shooting is commenced, check to ensure that: - The fuses are intact. - The correct voltage has been used (vo!trneter). - The electrical equipment used is suitable for the cam- pressOr. - The wiring has been correcUy installed (compare with wiring diagram as found in the spare parts list). - There is no leakage between the live parts and the frame (see Section 1.3). Example of wiring diagram: Diagram BKF, BMC, BSKF. 9.

1.7. Using a Manometer in Trouble-Shooting The pressure in a refrigerating system is directly dependent on the temperature. For this reason, the manometer can indicate both temperature in degrees Celsius and pressure in bar. By mounting a manometer on the suction side of the compres- sor ~process ppe~. the temperature in the evaporator at which the refrigerant evaporates can be read. This temperature is normally from -15 C to -25 C in a refrigerator and from -3CC to -35 C in a freezer. These tem

Examples of trouble-shooting using a manometer on the suc- tion side (process pipe) and a service valve: 3. Leakage in the system. The manometer indicates insufficient suction pressure. 1. The system is blocked. The pressure equalizing time is short. The equalizing pressure is lower than would be expected. Ensure that the equalizing pressure is sufficient for leak The suction pressure is very low. Pressure equalizing takes place very slowly or not at all. detection. Cause: Ice blockage in the ca

Actual Evacuation After mounting of the filling hose, the system is ready for the actual evacuation. Evacuate until a stable vacuum of 1 mbar has been reached. Check for stability of the vacuum by closing the valve for the vacuum pump (12). If the vacuum gauge needle falls appreciably, possible leakage in the system is indicated. When a stable vacuum of 1 mbar has been reached, evacute further 5-10 minutes, close the valve for the vacuum gauge (10) and the vacuum pump (12) and the spherical valv
