This defectisindicatedbythe partial

Poorperformanceof the refrigerant

Becauseof thelack of circulation
Freonin the system,there is no
frosting ofthe evaporator,while a
slightoverheatingofthe first spiralof
the condenseris noted.

An emptyrefrigerantsystem
indicatesa leakageof R134a This
lossis generallyto belookedfor at
the soldering pointsconnectingthe
variouscomponentsor in an
eventualhole inthe evaporator
madebythe user.
If in the refrigerantsystema quantity
of R134a isintroducedwhich is
greater thanthat indicated,the
excessgas dosenot terminate its
expansionin the evaporatorbut
proceedsintothe returntube.
The refrigerantsystemis humid
when there isa small percentageof
waterpresent which,notcompletely
retainedbythe dehydratorfilter,
enters into circulationwiththe Freon
and freezes atthe capillaryexit in
the evaporator.
There isair in arefrigeratingsystem
when duringthe filling phase
vacuum isnot effectedor it is not
adequatelydone.
Eventualimpuritiescontainedin the
Freonor in the componentsofthe
refrigerationsystembefore
assemblyand not retainedby the
filter canobstruct the capillary.
Incaseof shortcircuit,the
breakdownis dueto the electric
winding: if blocked,thereis a
mechanicalfailurein the motor-
compressoE
Inthis casethere isa mechanical
failurein the diaphramvalveswhich:
remainingcontinuallyopen, do not
permitthe pistonto suck and
compressorthe which
consequenteIydose not circulatein
the system.
The causeof the excessivenoise is
normailytobe soughtfor in a
mechanicalbreak down,and only
rarelyin the unhookingofone of the
suspensionsprings.
