Components
7.14 Suction Pressure Transducer
(-)A20 condensing units are equipped with a suction
line pressure transducer. This device has an internal
diaphragm that changes the resistance in line with
the input voltage to return a modified voltage that
varies from 0.5 to 4.5vdc. This range is linearly
proportional to an absolute pressure range of 0 to
300psia.
7.15 Suction Temperature Thermistor
(-)A20 condensing units are equipped with a suction
line thermistor for the purposes of measuring suction
gas temperature. The measured temperature is paired
with the saturated suction temperature and used by the
VSODC to calculate superheat for diagnostics without
requiring gauges to be attached. The superheat is
displayed on the EcoNet
TM
Control Center status menu.
IMPORTANT:
The clamp on the
suction line thermistor securely attaches to the
suction line between the 10 and 2 o’clock position
with a corrosion resistant stainless steel clip.
Insulation is factory installed over the suction line
thermistor and suction line. This thermistor
is provided with the coil thermistor as a single
harness.
