Examples of faults and solutions
FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Suction Too much suction gas superheat
Temperature too (above 20K)
high
Liquid in the suction line.
2. Suction
Temperature too Sensor bulb is loose or incorrectly positioned.
low
Too much oil in evaporators.
3. Suction
Filter in the liquid line clogged.
Pressure too low
Suction filter blocked (if installed).
Too much superheat of suction gas.
Thermostatic expansion valve blocked when in
closed position.
Problem with solenoid valve in the liquid line.
Installation insufficiently charged.
4. Compressor cuts See point 3

Restart after defrost.
5. Suction
Compression problems
Pressure too high
Insufficient flow of air in to the condenser
6. Condenser
Fan cut in not adjusted correctly
Pressure too high
High pressure safety valve set too low
Installation flooded
Air or non-condensable gas in the HP circuit
7. Condenser Fan cut-in incorrectly set.
pressure too low
Too much superheat on suction.
8. Discharge

Bulb loose or incorrectly positioned
stoppage
Crankcase heater out of order
ACTION REQUIRED
Examine and adjust the thermostatic expansion
valves in the evaporators.
Adjust thermostatic expansion valves.
Check if the bulb is in contact with the suction line
and replace if necessary
Drain oil from evaporators.
Examine and clean filters in liquid line.
Check suction filter.
Adjust thermostatic expansion valves.
De-ice thermostatic expansion valve using warm
rags. If no improvement, change the thermostatic
expansion valve.
Check wiring and coil – replace if necessary
Charge the installation with refrigerant.
Clean or defrost evaporator.
Wait for confirmation
Change compressor
Clean the condenser. Check motor fans
Adjust
Set pressure valve at maximum 1 bar below
Maximum Safe Pressure, but take into account the
compressorlimit.
Drain liquid into reservoir
Let air out at highest point.
Adjust pressure switch
Adjust thermostatic expansion valves.
Check compressor
Check and adjust thermostatic expansion valves
Check pressures. If necessary, adjust valves and
gaskets.
Replace heater
Adjust thermostatic expansion valve
Replace, repair or re-set
Replace, repair or re-set.
Check thermostatic expansion valve.
Check bulb position
Replace heater
