OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANCE OF LEVELING A
REFRIGERATOR
In an
absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is
lique-
fied
in the
finned
condenser coil at the top rear of the
refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the
evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed
to
a circulating
flow
of hydrogen gas,
which
causes the
ammonia to evaporate, creating
a cold condition in the
freezer.
The
tubing
in the evaporator section
is
specifically
sloped to provide
a
continuous
movement of liquid
am-
monia, flowing downward
by gravity through this section.
If the refrigerator is operated when it is not level and the
vehicle
is
not moving, liquid ammonia
will
accumulate
in
sections of the evaporator tubing.
This
will
stow the
circulation
of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe
cases,
completely block it resulting in a loss of cooling.
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the
refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled to
prevent this loss of cooling. The vehicle needs to be
leveled
only so It Is
comfortable to live in (no
noticeable
‘sloping of floor or walls).
When the
vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical,
as the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will
pass to
either
side of
level,
keeping the liquid ammonia
from accumulating In the evaporator tubing.
OPERATION
Before starting the refrigerator, check that all the manual
gas
valves
are in the ON
position.
DO NOT forget the
manual shut-off
valve
on the rear of the refrigerator, see
FIG.
1.
This refrigerator Is equipped with
a
semi Automatic
Energy Selector (AMES) control system,
which can be
set to automatically select either
120 volt AC or LP gas
operation, or if desired
LP
gas only. On
3-way
models
the
control system can manually be set to
DC operation,
The
refrigerator controls will work down to 9.6 volt
DC.
Most
LP gas
appliances
used-in recreational
ve-
hicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle,
When parked close to a gasoline pump, it Is
possible
that the
gasoline
fumes could enter
this type of appliance and ignite from the
burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR AN EXPLO-
SION.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, when
refueling,
shut of all
LP gas appliances
which
are vented to the
out-
side.
