Technical Description
Troubleshooting
TrueDRYDH150usesarefrigerationsystemsimilartoanaircondi-
tioner to remove heat and moisture from incoming air and add heat
totheairthatisdischarged.Hot,high-pressurerefrigerantgasis
routedfromthecompressortothecondensercoil.Therefrigerantis
cooledandcondensedbygivingupitsheattotheairthatisabout
tobedischargedfromtheunit.Therefrigerantliquidthenpasses
throughastrainerandcapillarytubingwhichcausestherefrigerant
pressureandtemperaturetodrop.Itnextenterstheevaporatorcoil
whereitabsorbsheatfromtheincomingairandevaporates.The
evaporatoroperatesinafloodedcondition,whichmeansthatallthe
evaporatortubescontainliquidrefrigerantduringnormaloperation.
Afloodedevaporatorshouldmaintainnearlyconstantpressureand
temperatureacrosstheentirecoil,frominlettooutlet.
Themixtureofgasandliquidrefrigerantentertheaccumulatorafter
leavingtheevaporatorcoil.Theaccumulatorpreventsanyliquid
refrigerantfromreachingthecompressor.Thecompressorevacuatesthecoolrefrigerantgasfromtheaccumulator
and compresses it to a high pressure and temperature to repeat the process.
