wheel' and the excess pressure will be dissipated through the
expansion valve. When the pressure drops below 27.6 bar,
the safety valve will close again and the compressor will be
operative.
The terms ‘high’ and ‘low’ pressure (or side) refer to the
pressure differential between the compressor and expansion
valve ports. This differential is critical to system fault
diagnosis and efficiency checks.
The high side starts at the compressor and includes the
trinary switch, condenser, receiver drier and expansion
valve.
The low side starts at the expansion valve outlet and includes
the evaporator and all connectio ns back to the compressor.
The trinary switch (6) monitors system pressure between the
compressor and condenser. If the pressure rises above 30
bar or falls below 2 bar the compressor clutch is
de-energised to prevent damage to system components.
