1. The cooled liquid refrigerant continues from the drier through the capillary tube to the evaporator The capillary tube steadies the flow rate of the refrigerant Its small inside diameter allows the pressure in the evaporator to remain low while the pressure in the condenser is high The cool refrigerant in the evaporator draws heat from the circulating air in the cabinet As the temperature in the cabinet drops the electronic temperature sensor reports the air temperature to the electronic controller The electronic controller deactivates the refrigeration control relay which turns off the compressor and condenser fan motor When the air temperature in the cabinet rises above the electronic controller s cut in setting the compressor and the condenser fan engage again V21 Maintenance M 5 REV A 10 2013 P N 1230468 V21 Parts amp Service Manual All V21 Identified Equipment COMPRESSOR SUTON DISCHARGE LOW PRESSURE HIGH PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR oe VAPOR a EVAPORATOR FAN i LIQUID j LIQUID CAPILLARY RESTRICTION TUBE DRIER FIGURE 1 V21 Maintenance M 6 V21 Parts amp Service Manual REV A 10 2013 All V21 Identified Equipment P N 1230468 REFRIGERATION PARTS DESCRIPTION The compressor condenser drier capillary tube evaporator and accumulator are part of a sealed system refer to Figure 2 These items are not available separately COMPRESSOR The compressor takes in low pressure2.

10. zes This change occurs at a temperature low enough to absorb heat from the refrigerated space The temperature of vaporization is controlled by the pressure maintained in the evaporator the higher the pressure the higher the vaporization point The compressor pumps the vapor from the evaporator through the suction line and to the condenser The compressor takes the low pressure vapor and compresses it increasing both the pressure and the temperature The compressor pumps the vapor at a rate rapid enough to maintain the ideal pressure The hot high pressure vapor is forced out of the compressor into the discharge line and then into the condenser Air is blown through the condenser allowing heat to transfer from the condenser and into the passing air As the heat is removed the stored refrigerant is condensed into a liquid The liquid refrigerant is stored in the lower tube of the condenser This is where it flows through the capillary tube back into the evaporator where the refrigeration cycle is repeated V21 Maintenance M 4 V21 Parts amp Service Manual REV A 10 2013 All V21 Identified Equipment P N 1230468 DETAILED REFRIGERATION CYCLE The following is a detailed refrigeration cycle as it applies to the refrigeration system installed in SandenVendo America Inc equipment Refer to the flow chart in Figure 1 As the air temperature in the cabinet rises the electronic temperature sensor reports the air temperature
