Electronic Throttling Valve
The Electronic Throttling Valve (ETV) is a variable
position valve operated by a stepper motor. The ETV is
located in the suction line between the accumulator
and the suction vibrasorber. Discharge and suction
pressure transducers supply pressure information to
the microprocessor control system. The
microprocessor controls the electronic throttling valve
directly. The ETV replaces the mechanical throttling
valve used in other units.
The ETV system provides enhanced control of the
refrigeration system as follows:

Figure 4. Front Left View of Refrigeration Cluster • D i s ch a r g e P r e s s u r e P r o t e c t i o n : This protection
algorithm provides an additional measure of
protection against high discharge pressures and
possible compressor damage. It will prevent
shutdowns in high ambient temperatures by
allowing continued operation of the unit at a
temporarily reduced refrigeration capacity.
• E n g i n e C o o l a n t Te m p e r a t u r e P r o t e c t i o n : This
protection algorithm protects the engine from high
coolant temperature shutdowns and possible
engine damage. It will reduce the load on the
engine by temporarily reducing refrigeration
capacity. This lowers the engine temperature while
still allowing continued unit operation.
• M o d u l a t i o n C o n t r o l : Modulation control in a
multi-temp unit improves the capacity in all zones
by maximizing the capacity and controlling the
engine load at all times. It can also provide more
precise control of the temperatures in the cargo
areas by using the ETV (and the hot gas bypass
valve if necessary) to reduce the capacity when the
return air temperatures approach the setpoints.
This provides very smooth and steady temperature
control and the temperatures do not oscillate above
and below the setpoints as much as they do in a
unit that does not have modulation control.
Remote Evaporators
A Remote Evaporator is mounted on the ceiling of each
ARA2140 remote compartment to provide temperature control
for Zone 2 and Zone 3 (if used). A Remote Evaporator
with two fans is called an S-2. A Remote Evaporator
with three fans is called an S-3. Two remote
evaporators can be mounted in the same remote
compartment to provide more capacity.

Unit and Engine Mounting Bolts physical damage which might affect unit performance
and require repair or replacement of parts.
Check and tighten all unit and engine mounting bolts
during scheduled maintenance inspections. Torque the
unit mounting bolts to 60 ft-lb (81 N•m). Torque the Condenser, Evaporator, and
engine mounting bolts to 150 ft-lb (203 N•m).
Radiator Coils
Figure 239. Unit and Engine Mounting Bolts
Clean the coils during scheduled maintenance
inspections. Remove any debris (e.g., leaves or plastic
wrap) that reduces the air flow. Clean dirty coils with
compressed air or a pressure washer. Be careful not to
bend the fins when cleaning a coil. If possible, blow the
air or water through the coil in the direction opposite
the normal airflow. Repair bent fins and any other
noticeable damage.
Cleaning Methods
N o t e : Listed in order of recommended method.
• Take a cloth or towel and wipe the air side of the coil
going with the fins, across the tubes. See (Figure
241, p. 143) for results. The coil will clean in a
manner similar to the way lint cleans from the lint
trap of a household clothes dryer.
• Use a soft bristled brush (DO NOT USE A WIRE
BRUSH) and brush the coil going with the fins,
across the tubes. The coil will clean in a manner
similar to the way lint cleans from the lint trap of a
household clothes dryer.
• A vacuum with a soft attachment can be used to
suck the debris off the face as well as in the fins and

Spraying thru from the airside may imbed debris in
the coil that was only on the surface. It is
recommended to start with one of the first three

and are NOT RECOMMENDED.
In some instances, it may take a combination of two
methods to result in a clean coil. Such as, first wiping
the coil to clean the surface and then using a vacuum,
water or compressed air to clean down in the fins. This
will depend on the type of debris that needs to be
cleaned from the coil.
Do not contact the coil with any hard vacuum nozzle,
air nozzle, or any other tool. This will damage the tubes

1. Clean the defrost drains during scheduled

2. Verify that the defrost drain hoses are routed
correctly so they do not drain on the power
