Part Function
DRIER

The drier absorbs the harmful water inside the cooling system and
also filters out the minute dust inside the system. The drier of MBA260RSN is installed in Evaporator unit.
* The drier of MBA 240RN is installed in Condenser Unit.
When the drier is closed by some minute dust or moisture, it
happens the similar symptom by throttle effect like function of
Expansion valve.

Part Function
RECEIVER TANK

Plug

The Receiver tank temporarily stores the liquefied refrigerant from the Cond. Unit.
The Receiver tank has an inlet, outlet unit and a fusible plug.
When the temperature & pressure inside the liquid tank become abnormally high,
The fusible plug will be melt
Melting temperature of the fusible plug : 105

Part Function
Low pressure switch
The Low pressure switch is installed
Suction line in the Evaporator Unit.
When this switch operates, open
Signal sends the unloading valve
(= solenoid valve) and then the
Solenoid valve is operated to insert
Hot gas into Evaporator coil.

Part Function

Part Function
EXPANSION VALVE
Temperature Sensor

The Expansion v/v is installed at the evaporator inlet and changes the
high pressure liquid refrigerant to a low temperature low pressure liquid
by adiabatic expansion. This valve on the Evaporator outlet senses the
refrigerant temperature through temperature sensor and autimatically
adjusts the amount of refrigerant flowing to the evaporator.

Part Function
SIGHT GLASS
The sight glass is installed on between expansion valve and drier.
And, This is used to check the refrigerant charge in the system and to
check the state of the refrigerant in the liquid line.

Eng. & Comp.

Part Function
HIGH/LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
These pressure switchs are installed to the Dis. & Suc. service valve. It is a safety
device which opreates when the refrigerant system pressure rises above the
specific pressure and drops below the specific pressure.
When this switch operates, the HI/LOW PRESS alarm lamp on the control panel light on,
a buzzer sounds the engine stop device operates. And the air conditioner will be stops
automatically. The operating pressure of these high/low pressure switchs are shown
in the table below.
