Low Side Pressure Gauge.
High Side Pressure Gauge.

1.
The 'ma
nifold gauge set' is a most important tool for tracing faults and
system efficiency assessment. The relationship between HIGH and LOW
pressures and their correlation to AMBIENT and EVAPORATOR
temperatures must be compared to determine system status (see
Pressure / Temperature graphs).
Because of the heavy reliance upon this piece of equipment for service
diagnosis, ensure that the gauges are calibrated regularly and the
equipment is treated with care.

1. The manifold is designed to control refrigerant flow. When connected into
the system, pressure is registered on both gauges at all times. During
system tests both the high and low side hand valves should be closed
(rotate clockwise to seat the valves). The hand valves isolate the low and
the high sides from the center (service) hose.
1. This compound gauge, is designed to register positive and negative
pressure and may be typically calibrate d - Full Scale Deflection, 0 to 10
bar (0 to 150 lbf / in2) pressure in a clockwise direction; 0 to 1000 mbar
(0 to 30 in Hg) FSD negative pressu re in a counter clockwise direction.
1. This pressure gauge may be typically calibrated from 0 to 30 bar (0 to
500 lbf / in2) FSD in a clockwise direction. Depending on the
manufacturer, this gauge may also be of the compound type.

Refrigeration Cycle

The Compressor draws low pressure, lo
w te
mperature, refrigerant from the evaporat or and, by compression, raises the
refrigerant temperature and pressure. High pressure, hot, vaporized refr igerant enters the condenser, where it is cooled by
the flow of ambient air. A change of state occurs as the refrigerant cools in the condense r and it becomes a reduced
temperature, high pressure, liquid.
From the condenser, the liquid passes into the receiver drier which has three functions:
Storage vessel
for varying sy
stem refrigerant demand.
F
ilter to remove sy
stem contaminants.
Mo
isture removal via the dessicant.
With the passage through the receiver drie r completed, the liquid refrigerant, still at high pressure, enters the expansion
valve where it is metered through a contro lled orifice, which has the effect of reducing the pres sure and temperature. The
refrigerant, now in a cold atomized st ate, flows into the evaporator and cools the air passing through the matrix.
As heat is absorbed by the refrigerant, it once again changes state, into a vapor, and returns to the compressor for the
cycle to be repeated.
An automatic safety valve is incorporated in the compressor, which will operate if the system pressure rises above 41 bar.
The valve will reseat when the pressure drops below 27,6 bar.

The terms 'high' and 'low'

ports. This differential is critical to sy stem fault diagnosis and efficiency checks.
