this manual.
3. REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In the basic refrigeration cycle, there are four major components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve and the
evaporator. Let briefly review the function of each of these elements.
The standard unit is equipped with heavy-duty high pressure backward radial fan is capable of supplying required airflow
& static pressure. The fan discharge outlet can be connected to a flexible pre conditioned delivery hose. Flexible duct is
constructed by two-ply, abrasion resistant fabrics or PVC coated fabrics and is stowed inside the unit, when not in use.
Compressor
In the compressor, the low pressure refrigerant vapor is compressed to a high pressure refrigeration vapor. The com-
pressor pumps this refrigerant to the condenser and on through the system.
Condenser
The condenser, receives the high pressure vapor from the compressor, cools it with outdoor air, and then causes the
refrigerant vapor to condense into a high pressure liquid. It may also provide storage for liquid refrigerant in the
system.
Expansion valve
The expansion valve provides a control through which high pressure liquid refrigerant pass into the low pressure side of
the system i.e. evaporator.
Evaporator
The evaporator is a heat exchanger which absorbs heat and boils the low pressure liquid refrigerant, thus changing it into
o low pressure vapor. The low pressure vapor is then drawn back into the compressor and the cycle is repeated.
The suction action of the compressor draws the heat laden vapor from the evaporator coil. The pumping of the refrigerant
into the condenser raises its pressure and temperature. Air passing over the condenser surface carries the heat, being
expelled by the refrigerant, away from condenser, thereby lowering the temperature the pressure to allow the heat laden
vapor to be condensed into liquid.
The liquid refrigerant is stored in the condenser where additional heat is sub cooled prior to its passing through the
metering device (expansion valve) into the evaporator coil.
13
14
The compressors are equipped with internal motor protection, factory installed crankcase heaters and rubber vibration
isolators for quiet and efficient operation. Each compressor has lock-out devices to protect it from short cycling when
tripped by safety controls. Each compressor has separate condenser coil with safety controls. The diesel generator-set
drives the compressor integral motor.
15
Compression in the scroll is created by the interaction of an orbiting spiral and a stationary
spiral. A refrigerant enters the outer openings as one of the spirals orbits.
The open passages are sealed off as gas is drawn into the spiral.
As the spiral continues to orbit, the gas is compressed into two increasingly smaller pockets.
By the time the gas arrives at the center port, discharge pressure has been reached.
Actually, during operation, all six gas passages are in various stages of compression at all
times, resulting in nearly continuous suction and discharge.

Cooling or compressor operation can only be able to start if the following conditions are met:
a) Supply air CFM is within 10% of the set CFM (set @ 2200) and air pressure is less than the set maximum supply
air pressure (set @ 21”WG).
b) No alarms or system faults.
c) Supply air temperature is as described in 4.2.1
20
a) Low Cool Mode – In this mode, cooling is in intermittent operation. Cooling is active for 10 minutes and stops for 3
minutes in every 13 minutes timing interval. Compressors are alternated in a way that at least one compressor in the
unit is running for 10 minutes for every 13 minutes interval. There will be off timing of 3 minutes after each cooling
operation of 10 minutes.
b) Medium Cool Mode – Cooling operation is continuous in this mode. Each compressor will have run timing of 10
minutes and off timing of 3 minutes. Both compressors will operate at the same time in the first 2 minutes and the last
5 minutes in each 13 minutes interval. There will then be 2 compressors running for a total of 7 minutes in each cooling
operation of 13 minutes.
c) High Cool Mode – In this mode, cooling operation is also continuous. One compressor will always be active while the
other compressor will operate intermittently – running for 13 minutes and off timing of 5 minutes in each 18 minutes
interval. Both compressors will then be in continuous operation for a total of 13 minutes in each 18 minutes interval.
The control is having a compressor run time equalization function. After each cooling cycle, the compressor with the least
run time will operate as the lead compressor.
21
The VFD’s (Variable Frequency Drive) settings are pre-set in the factory. The LCD display of the device is set to show the
motor speed in RPM and the drive’s output in AMPS. The on/off command is set to be controlled through switching
contacts in the main control panel of the ACU. However, the VFD can also be controlled or operated manually using its
keypad with some changes in its internal parameter settings. Please refer to the product catalogue for the setting proce-
dures.
The keypad with LCD display is attached to the unit and is used for the following:
a) Displaying the operating status of the drive

NOTE: Change engine oil and filter after the first 50 hours of use, then after every 250 hours of use or every six months, whichever is
the most frequent.
WARNING: POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE MAKING SERVICE INSPEC-
TIONS WITHIN THE UNIT. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY WHEN THE UNIT IS IN OPERATION. NEVER
SERVICE THE UNIT ALONE - ALWAYS HAVE A SAFETY PERSON PRESENT DURING SERVICING OPERATIONS.
36
B. Special Tools:
To service the refrigerant system, the following tools are required in addition to the general tools listed above.
(1) Compressor oil pump
(2) Refrigerant leak detector
(3) Vacuum pump
(4) Refrigeration ratchet
(5) Manifold gauges
(6) Refrigerant recovery and recycle system
(7) Micron gauge
(8) Nitrogen cylinder with L.P. regulator
(9) R-22 refrigerant bottle
(10) Scales (for weighing refrigerant cylinder)
(11) Refrigerant recovery and storage tank
C. Refrigerant System:
This unit utilizes refrigerant type R-22 only.
NOTE:
1. In accordance with the Montreal Protocol, venting refrigerant to the atmosphere is not permitted. Never vent refriger-
ant from the system or Freon cylinders to atmosphere. Always use a refrigerant recovery and recycle system.
Observe all local and national statutes concerning the handling of refrigerant chemicals.
2. Each refrigerant system in the Model MAC240 Air Conditioner Unit is an independent circuit. The servicing proce-
dures set forth in this manual are directed toward the servicing of a single refrigerant circuit. Therefore, if more
than one circuit is to be serviced, follow the procedure entirely on one refrigerant circuit before proceeding to the next.
37
Moisture in a refrigerant system is directly or indirectly the real cause of more problems and complaints than all other
causes combined. Moisture in a system can be visible or invisible. Rarely is liquid water found in a system, normally all
intrusive moisture is in the form of vapor. A single drop of moisture in a system can cause “freeze-ups.” Moisture can be
picked up by the refrigerant and be transported through the lines as a fine mist, causing ice crystals to form at the point
of expansion (expansion valve). These ice crystals retard or stop the flow of the refrigerant, causing a reduction or
complete loss of cooling. As the expansion valve warms due to the lack of refrigerant, the ice melts and passes through
the expansion valve. The moisture then cycles through the system until it again returns to the expansion valve, and the
cycle is repeated. The result is intermittent cooling. Moisture can also cause corrosion, which can present serious
problems, often not apparent until severe damage has occurred. Moisture, combined with refrigerants, can create acids
which in turn greatly increase the corrosion of metals and copper plating.
Refrigerant oil has an attraction for moisture absorbs it rapidly if left open to the atmosphere. Water formed acids mix with
refrigerant oil, the two forming a closely bonded mixture of fine globules. The effect is called “sledging” and greatly
reduces the lubricating ability of the oil. The corrosion caused by the presence of this moisture in the form of “sludge” can
plug fine strainers, expansion valves and capillary tubes. Because it usually contains acids, sludge corrodes whatever it
clings to, accelerating system damage. Only use fresh oil from unopened containers. Previously opened oil provides too
great a danger of system moisture intrusion.
The most effective means in removing moisture from a system is to utilize a high (deep) vacuum pump. A high vacuum
pump is capable of removing all moisture from a hermetic system by reducing internal system pressures to the boiling
point of water at normal temperatures. The vacuum pump does not “suck out” the liquid moisture, but rather causes it to
boil into a vapor state at which time it can be harmlessly removed from the system and exhausted through the vacuum
pump.
The ideal vacuum pump evacuates the system to at least 500 microns and is capable of holding that vacuum throughout
the dehydration process. It pulls that vacuum on the entire system and not simply at the intake of the pump; it removes
moisture at an ambient temperature of 80°F or over.
Table- 2 provides the boiling temperature of water compared to the evacuation of a system. The higher the vacuum, the
lower the boiling point, the greater the system evacuation.
To reduce pumping time as well as prevent early pump failure, use only a pump properly sized to the system. Table-1
provides pump sizing-to-system requirements. A larger than recommended pump is perfectly acceptable, but avoid using
a smaller than recommended pump. Multiple vacuum pumps equaling the single size required may be utilized by placing
them at various points on the system. Be sure that all valves are open to allow complete evacuation of the system.
Change the vacuum pump oil every time the pump is used; clean oil enhances pump efficiency.
38
39
CAUTION:
POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR WINDINGS IN THE COMPRESSOR. DO NOT START
THE COMPRESSOR OR ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE UNIT WHILE THE SYSTEM IS UNDER HIGH VACUUM.
Use a small portable vacuum pump designed for R-22 refrigerant system evacuation. Do not use the refrigerant system
compressor as a vacuum pump. This could result in severe damage to the compressor.
It is possible to use the manifold gauges to connect the vacuum pump to the service valves on the refrigerant system. For
larger systems and larger vacuum pumps, copper tubing or vacuum hoses of 1/4" minimum inside diameter are recom-
mended for high vacuum work. The procedures that follow are for use with a small vacuum pump connected through
manifold gauges.
For triple evacuation, perform the above procedure three times, evacuating twice to 500 microns and the last time for
eight hours to ensure complete system evacuation.
When triple evacuation is complete, the system is ready for recharging. If it is not to be charged immediately, seal the
system by back-setting the service access valves and plugging or capping all open gauge ports or connections.
WARNING:
WHEN WORKING WITH REFRIGERANTS, ALWAYS WEAR GOGGLES. CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANT MAY CAUSE INJURY.
A leak-free system assures trouble-free system operation and performance. Loss of refrigerant reduces system effi-
ciency and capacity. It also causes repeated activation of system safety monitors, shutting down the unit. Perform leak
testing at scheduled intervals and after doing any work on the unit.
A leak may spread refrigerant throughout the interior of the unit, making locating the leak difficult. Air the interior of the
unit prior to testing. If a leak is detected but it is difficult to pinpoint the location, use compressed air to blow the area free
of vapor then immediately retest before the leaking vapor spreads.
Use a draft free area when leak testing to prevent the loss of vapor from small leaks. Ensure the testing area is free of
compressor oil, which may contain dissolved refrigerant, giving false test indications.
40
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THE COMPRESSOR TO BUILD UP PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM. DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE
SYSTEM.
WARNING:
ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION DURING REPAIRS. PHOSGENE GAS, A DEADLY POISON, IS GENERATED
WHEN REFRIGERANT IS EXPOSED TO FLAME.
41
WARNING:
DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM. OVERCHARGING THE SYSTEM CAN DAMAGE THIS
UNIT. THE ORIGINAL REFRIGERANT CHARGE FOR THIS UNIT IS LISTED BELOW.
If the system has lost its charge completely, evacuate prior to recharging. Use the following procedure to add or replace
the refrigerant.
(1) Using a platform scale, weigh the R-22 Freon cylinder and its contents. Record this weight for later reference.
(2) Using a copper connecting tube or other appropriate charging hose, loosely connect the outlet of the Freon cylinder
to the charging valve.
(3) Position the R-22 Freon cylinder so that the top is at a higher level than the bottom. This is necessary to ensure the
release of the refrigerant in the gaseous state.
(4) Slightly open the valve on the R-22 Freon cylinder.
(5) Purge the charging line and tighten the connection.
(6) Check the tubing connections between the R-22 Freon cylinder and the charging valve for leaks.
(7) Open the valve on the Freon cylinder approximately halfway.
(8) Open the charging valve.
(9) Close the refrigerant valve on the liquid line to the expansion valve. Be sure the compressor suction and discharge
valves are open.
(10) Tip the R-22 Freon cylinder so that the outlet valve is at the lowest point allowing liquid refrigerant to flow through the
charging hose.
(11) Operate the compressor. The tubing connecting the R-22 Freon cylinder to the charging valve is not of sufficient
size to supply enough refrigerant to prevent the system from pumping down into a vacuum. Watch the suction
gauge and do not allow suction pressure to go below zero. The ideal pumping is to approach a vacuum without
actually pumping into a vacuum.
(12) If the system has lost its charge completely, charge only the specified weight of refrigerant into the system. DO NOT OVER-
CHARGE. Check that the refrigerant charge is free from bubbles and completely fills the sight glass.
(13) If the system has a partial charge, charge the system with only 10 pounds of R-22 Freon at a time. Stop the
charging operation and operate the unit in cool mode. Observe the refrigerant charge in the sight glass as stated
above. Repeat the procedure until the correct refrigerant charge is obtained without overcharging.

NOTE: The compressors are sealed and do not require oil servicing.
