MECHANICAL SUBCOOLING
By lowering the temperature of the liquid
supplied to the TEV, the efficiency of the evapora-
tor is increased. The lower temperature liquid
refrigerant produces less flash gas exiting the
TEV.
Plate Subcooler
Electrically, a thermostat responding to main
liquid line temperature immediately down stream
of the Plate Subcooler controls a solenoid valve
on the liquid supply line from the Liquid mani-
fold. This circuit is supplied with power through
parallel auxiliary contactors on the compressor
motor contactors
A liquid line solenoid valve and a TEV control
refrigerant flow to the Plate Heat Exchanger. An
EPR on the return suction line prevents the sub-
cooler temperature from dropping below desired
liquid temperature.
Plate Subcooler Controls
Thermostat setting is 50ÞF with minimum differ-
ential, or customer specifications.
The TEV should be set with the highest possible
superheat that will still maintain the desired liquid
temperature.
EPR setting is listed on the store legend.
