Refrigeration system
The FZR5-PL -30 C (-22 F) freezer refrigeration system is designed to give many years of trouble-free service. Except
for routine cleaning and inspection of the air-cooled condenser and evaporator defrost, the refrigeration system
requires no service or maintenance. The system uses a thermostatic expansion valve and is critically charged. Access
fittings are provided for ease of service. However, the connection of refrigeration service hoses to the fittings will almost
invariably result in a significant change in the system charge. This change can adversely affect the performance of
your freezer. Therefore, Follett recommends that if hoses are ever connected to the refrigeration system for service, the
refrigerant should be recovered, the system evacuated, and recharged by weighing in the correct refrigerant charge.
Note: Do not charge the system by pressures.
Checking refrigeration system pressures
1.
Remove the rear access panel (Fig. 8).
2. Turn the power switch to the on position.
3. Following the instructions on page 6 verify that the temperature controller is
set to the original factory cut-in setting of -35 C (-31 F).
4. Allow the freezer to operate and stabilize at least 60 minutes, verifying the
cut-out temperature is being reached.
5. Connect refrigerant gauges to access fittings and measure air temperature
at condenser intake grille.
6. Verify correct pressures with the temperature chart below.
7.
Troubleshoot refrigeration system as needed.
