(2) Moisture present in refrigeration system.
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
During operation, pressure on low
pressure side cycles between vac-
uum and normal
Moisture in refrigeration system
freezes at expansion valve orifice
and temporarily stops cycle, but
normal state is restored after the
ice melts
Drier in oversaturated state

Moisture in refrigeration system
freezes at expansion valve orifice
and blocks circulation of refriger-
ant(1) Replace receiver
(2) Remove moisture in cycle by
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 in refrigeration sys-
tem
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

Pressure low on both low and
high pressure sides

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

Frost or dew seen on piping on
both sides of 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
