REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
4) By the time the gas arrives at the
center port, discharge pressure has
been reached.
5) Actually, during operation, all six gas
passages are in various stages of
compression at all times, resulting in
nearly continuous suction and dis-
charge.
NOTE
Upon compressor shut-off, the compressor may
run backward for a moment or two until internal
pressures equalize. This has no effect on com-
pressor durability but may cause an unexpected
sound after the compressor is turned off and
should not be diagnosed as a malfunction.

Condenser
The condenser is a heat exchanger whose
copper tubes are covered with thin aluminum
projections called spine fins. Heat is given off
and absorbed by air being pulled across the
condenser fins by the centrifugal fan and then
expelled through the exhaust air duct.
