D.13 SYSTEM SIZING
SYMPTOMS OF THE FAULT
1. Refrigerator operates correctly during certain seasons, but the battery becomes
discharged at times in the year when it is not very sunny or the ambient temperature
is high.
2. The indicator light “Do NOT Freeze Icepacks” and possibly “Refrigerator
Disconnected” are lit early in the morning especially at the times in the year when it
is not very sunny or the ambient temperature is high.
How to confirm this fault
1. If you are sure that each of the checks you have made in FAULT FINDING
CHART NO.2 has been correctly performed and that no fault was found, when you
performed these checks, then the system sizing may not be correct. (The system
sizing is incorrect if numbers of solar modules and/or the number of batteries are
insufficient.
2.Check the DAILY RECORD SHEETS to see if large quantities of vaccine and /or
medical supplies are frequently loaded into the refrigerator.
3. Check the DAILY RECORD SHEETS to see that the quantities of icepacks frozen
do not exceed the amounts recommended in the USER HANDBOOK for photovoltaic
refrigerator, Table 1, and that the amount of icepacks shown in Table 1 is not more
than the quantity specified for this type of refrigerator system.
4.Check with the person who is responsible for the refrigerator to make sure that the
food and drinks and other non-medical supplies are not being kept in the refrigerator
and that items other than icepacks are not being frozen in the freezer compartment.
