REFRIGERATION PARTS DESCRIPTION
The Compressor, Condenser, Drier, Capillary Tube, Evaporator, and Accumulator are part of
a sealed system (refer to figure 16). These items are not available separately. For the part
number of the sealed refrigeration system refer to the common parts section of the manual.
COMPRESSOR
The compressor takes in low pressure vapor and compresses it, increasing both the pressure and
the temperature. The hot high pressure gas is forced out to the condenser. The compressor and
the motor that drives the compressor are sealed inside a housing. The compressor, as a unit, is
mounted on the refrigeration base. The base is mounted in the bottom of the vendor, outside the
sealed refrigeration space.
CONDENSER
The condenser takes heat out of the high pressure vapor that it receive from the compressor. As
the vapor passes through the condenser it cools and returns to a liquid state. The condenser is
mounted to the refrigeration base near the front of the vendor. It is easily accessible for cleaning.
DRIER
The Drier is a molecular sieve strainer drier. It removes water and solid particles from refrigerant
liquid. One side of the dryer is connected to the outlet line of the condenser; the other side is
connected to the capillary tube going to the evaporator.
