4.5 Evaporator

• The evaporator is a heat exchanger covered with plate fins. Heat is removed from the air being

pulled across the evaporator by the centrifugal fan and the resulting cool air is expelled through

the cool air vent.

4.6 Accumulator

•The accumulator is mounted on the suction gas

piping between the evaporator and the

compressor. The accumulator separates the

liquid refrigerant from the gas refrigerant,

allowing only the gas refrigerant to enter the

compressor. In the accumulator, suction gas is

led into a cylindrical vessel where the speed of

the gas is decreased. This process separates

the refrigerant contained in the gas by the force

of gravity, causing the refrigerant to accumulate at the bottom of the vessel. As a result, the

compressor is protected from possible damage caused by liquid refrigerant intake.

4.7 High Pressure Switch

• The high pressure switch prevents the

condenser and compressor from being

damaged by excessive high pressure in the

high pressure line of the refrigeration cycle.

The switch is normally closed. The snap disk

responds to the variations in pressure and, if

pressure is abnormally high, the snap disk

moves down to push the pin down, causing the

internal contacts to open. This interrupts the

ground signal at the control board (J104 connector) which turns the compressor off.
