Electrical Maintenance (Rev. 04/03)

The components that have been added to the system are: the
TherMax™ solenoid, the TherMax™ solenoid line, and the
receiver outlet check valve. The TherMax™ solenoid con-
trols the flow of refrigerant through the TherMax™ sole-
noid line. The TherMax™ solenoid line goes from the
liquid line just past the receiver outlet check valve to the
accumulator inlet. The receiver outlet check valve is located
in the liquid line near the drier/receiver outlet. This check
valve prevents refrigerant from migrating back into the
receiver tank and condenser during the heat mode.
Cool Mode
The cool mode has not been changed in the TherMax™
heating system. The TherMax™ solenoid, which is nor-
mally closed, is de-energized during the cool mode. The
TherMax™ solenoid separates the high side from the low
side. When the TherMax™ solenoid is closed, it does not
allow liquid refrigerant to flow from the liquid line, through
the TherMax™ solenoid line, to the accumulator.
Heat/Condenser Evacuation Mode
When the µP-T controller initiates a heat or defrost cycle,
both the TherMax™ solenoid and the pilot solenoid ener-
gize simultaneously. The 26P wire from the interface circuit
board supplies a ground to the pilot solenoid and the 26T
wire supplies a ground to the TherMax™ solenoid. The
pressure difference between the high pressure liquid in the
condenser and the low pressure accumulator drives much of
the refrigerant out of the condenser and receiver, and back
into the accumulator. It is then available for improved heat-
ing capacity. The three-way valve and the receiver outlet
check valve prevent the migration of refrigerant back into
the receiver tank and condenser. The TherMax™ solenoid
will remain energized until there develops a +4 degree F
temperature difference between the discharge air and return
air sensors (discharge air temperature - return air tempera-
ture = +4 degrees F). After this, the heat cycle will continue
with just the pilot solenoid energized. The heat with refrig-
erant transfer mode will perform this way in every SR unit,
regardless of ambient temperature or refrigerant type.
Additional Notes
In the event that either the discharge air temperature sensor
or return air temperature sensor fails, as determined by the
µp-T controller, the heat with refrigerant transfer mode will
be controlled by the coil sensor instead. The coil
temperature will be recorded at the start of the defrost or
heat cycle, and the TherMax™ solenoid will stay energized
until the coil sensor temperature increases by 4 degrees F
Every time the SR unit starts up on diesel engine or electric
motor, the unit is placed in the heat mode for about 20
seconds. During this time, the TherMax™ solenoid is not
energized.
