OPERATION: Refrigeration
PUMP DOWN
During the pump down cycle (usually initiated by
the circuit board de-energizing the liquid line valve)
the discharge gases flow through their normal path
to the remote condenser, through the head
pressure control, and into the receiver.
At this point the refrigerant flow is stopped by the
closed liquid line valve. This action forces the
refrigerant into the receiver and keeps it out of the
compressor. The pump down continues until the
low pressure control turns the compressor off.
