REFRIGERATION SYSTEM OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS TABLES
S Models Single Expansion Valve
This table must be used with charts, checklists and other references to eliminate
refrigeration components not listed on the table and external items and problems, which
can cause good refrigeration components to appear defective.
