Cycle Troubleshooting Guide
1. Trouble analysis
1. Check temperature difference between intake and discharge air and operating current.
Temp. Difference
Operating Current
Temp. difference :approx. 0°F
Current :less than 80% of
rated current
Temp. difference :approx. 8°C(14°F)
Current :less than 80% of
rated current
Temp. difference :less than 8°C(14°F)
Current :less than 80% of
rated current
Temp. difference :over 8°C(14°F)
All amount of refrigerant leaked out.
Check refrigeration cycle.
Refrigerant leakage
Clog of refrigeration cycle
Defective compressor
Excessive amount of refrigerant
Normal
Notice:
Temperature difference between intake and discharge air depends on room air humidity. When the room air humid-
ity is relatively higher, temperature difference is smaller. When the room air humidity is relatively lower
temperature difference is larger.
2. Check temperature and pressure of refrigeration cycle.
Notice:
1. The suction pressure is usually 8.5~9.5 kg/cm
2
G at normal condition.
2. The temperature can be measured by attaching the thermometer to the low pressure tubing and wrap it with put-
ty.
