2.10 Low Pressure Control

If the low side refrigerant pressure drops to 15 PSIG,
the low pressure control opens and shuts off the
compressor and blower. It is an automatically reset
control. Its primary function is to prevent damage to the
compressor if a leak develops in the refrigeration
system. It may also open if the unit is A) used in a cool
area (below 50

°F) and the defrost timer is not adjusted

(see Sec. 2.10) or B) stored where it is below 40

°F and

then started. Under these conditions, the unit will
restart within several minutes. Until the unit warms up,
it may cycle several times.
