Moisture entered in refrigeration
system freezes at expansion valve
orifice and temporarily stops cycle,
but normal state is restored after a
time when the ice melts
Drier oversaturated state

Moisture in refrigeration system

ant(1) Replace receiver
(2) Remove moisture in cycle
through repeatedly evacuating air
(3) Charge proper amount of new
refrigerant
(3) Insufficient cooling
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy

Pressure low on both low and
high pressure sides

Bubbles seen in sight glass con-
tinuously

Insufficient cooling performance
Gas leakage at some place in re-
frigeration system
Insufficient refrigerant in system

Refrigerant leaking
(1) Check for gas leakage with gas
leak detector and repair if neces-
sary
(2) Charge proper amount of re-
frigerant
(3) If indicated pressure value is
near 0 when connected to gauge,
create the vacuum after inspecting
and repairing the location of the
leak

Frost on tube from receiver to
unit

in receiverReceiver cloggedReplace receiver
(5) Refrigerant does not circulate
Symptom seen in

Vacuum indicated on low pres-
sure side, very low pressure indi-
cated on high pressure side

fore and after receiver/ drier or ex-
pansion valve
Refrigerant flow obstructed by
moisture or dirt in refrigeration sys-
tem

Refrigerant flow obstructed by
gas leakage from expansion valve
Refrigerant does not circulate
(1) Check expansion valve
(2) Clean out dirt in expansion
valve by blowing with air
(3) Replace receiver
(4) Evacuate air and charge new
refrigerant to proper amount
(5) For gas leakage from expan-
sion valve, replace expansion

Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy

Pressure too high on both low
and high pressure sides

Frost or large amount of dew on
piping on low pressure side
Trouble in expansion valve

Excessive refrigerant in low
pressure piping

Expansion valve opened too
wide
Check expansion valve
Replace if defective
(9) Defective compression compressor
Symptom seen in

Pressure too high on low and
high pressure sides

Pressure too low on high pres-
sure side
Internal leak in compressor

Compression defective

Valve leaking or broken sliding
parts
Repair or replace compressor
