Transport refrigeration units are designed to keep the product temperature at required
Setpoint from the loading site until the its destination.
During the trip some failures can occur impacting the performance on temperature control.
Many times we experienced the most common words from the drivers: “no cooling”
“no cooling” can be related to certain number of conditions, not only no refrigerant or
something related to the refrigeration circuit.
For example:
If the unit is running and the diesel runs out, the unit will stop and the driver will call and
report “no cooling”

Evacuation

What is Vacuum?
Evacuation
• A/C & Refrigeration systems are designed to operate with only oil and
refrigerant flowing through them.
When a refrigeration system is installed and/or serviced, air and moisture
enter the system.
• Oxygen, nitrogen and moisture (all make up our air or atmosphere) are detrimental
to system operation.
• Removal of the air and other non-condensable is called degassing and

removal of the moisture is called dehydration.
• Removal of both is typically referred to as evacuation.

Evacuation
Proper evacuation after initial installation or after service where the
system has been opened to atmosphere is critical to proper
operation of refrigeration system.
Non condensables is the first issue
Degassing:
• Evacuation is a two step process of degassing and dehydration.

• Degassing removes non condensables (ex. air) which cause increased head
pressures and increased operating cost.
• Where high temperatures are frequent, non condensables combined with

moisture will also cause oil failure, decreased capacity and increased
compressor wear and potential failure.
• Losses associated with improper evacuation can be very high.

Evacuation
Moisture is the second issue.
Dehydration:
• Moisture brakes down POE oil in HFC systems, (like R404a) causing premature
failure of the oil.
• Because POE breaks down into its fundamental components, it loses the
lubrication properties leading to compressor failures and it can clog the
metering device and contaminate line sets.
• This could result in the need for complete system replacement.
• Moisture refrigerant and mineral oils form acids that will cause system failure
due to copper plating and damage to compressor windings.

Evacuation
Vacuum gauge:
Is used to determine the level of atmosphere

(degassing and dehydration) in the system.
Quick and deep evacuation of an refrigeration system simply comes down to

correct practices including proper installation and assembly, keeping out the
moisture during fabrication and of course the right tools hoses and gauges to
measure the level of degassing and dehydration.
When moisture (humidity) enters a system or condenses, the only way it can be
removed is in vapor state.

Evacuation
It is almost impossible to state the exact amount of time required to evacuate

any system.
Some factors that can influence evacuation time are listed below.
• How large system is
• The amount of moisture contained in system
• The ambient temperature
• Internal restrictions
• External restrictions
• Evacuation time can be significantly reduced by larger diameter hoses and

shorter hoses.

Evacuation - Conclusion
Let’s take an example:
• Do you think that vacuuming a refrigeration system in a 5°C ambient is

possible?
• No it is not, because water trapped in the circuit is also at 5°C and in liquid
form!
Decreasing the pressure to quickly raises the freezing point of water creating
a phenomenon called deposition.
Meaning, water will turn to ice before evaporation is complete.
When the ambient temperature is below +15 ⁰C

• If ambient temperature is to low, moisture could condense inside the system.
• This can be prevented by using heat lamps to rise the temperature slightly
above +15 ⁰C to prevent condensation. Apply as much heat as possible to the
system, keeping it as uniform as possible.
• This will accelerate the evaporation process of the water.

Software
Due to a process of evolution , today is possible to control the cooling units
with electronics.
In the same way that computers, mobile phones, etc. operate with a software,
also the cooling units with microprocessor need software, and Software requires
updates.
Whenever there is a software update, means that something better is coming to
optimize the unit.
Updates may be related to: APX ADVANCE
• Valve control logic
• Fuel consumption
• Cooling performance
• Correct errors

A16 Vector - Battery Voltage to Low
Before we continue to troubleshooting please note that AGM battery is recommended
for Carrier Vector units
AGM battery explanation:
AGM stands for Absorbent Glass M at, which is a material that holds acid in place like a sponge.
Specifically, they're made with Spiralcell® Technology - an advanced form of AGM technology
Advantages:
 Dual function battery : starting and deep cycling
 Fast recharge battery technology :high current permitted
 Stable capacity over lifetime
 Extremely vibration resistant
Installable in multiple positions
 Green technology : no acid spilling, easy to recycle
 Best ratio CCA / weight, in lead battery technology
 No restriction for any transportation mode

Comparison:
Battery type Regular flooded battery Vector AGM Battery
Cranking performance
High temperature resistance
Low temperature performance
Vibration resistance
Charging acceptance
Deep cycle performance
Self discharge
Gassing
Acid stratification
Internal resistance
Note:
 AGM battery resists to high temperatures, that’s why is so important that all Vector units are equipped with this
battery, specially in Middle East.
 Usage of a regular flooded battery will lead to, premature failure of the battery charger, Start/Stop failure during
regulation period increasing fuel consumption, and a short life time of the battery.

If you can insert a 0.030” (0.762mm) or larger gauge thickness in to the gap between the nylon coupling and the steel gear,
then the coupling will need replacing.

Drive Coupling Inspection
Drive couple must be inspected every Service interval or Annually

and 1930 rpm for 60 seconds or alarm may be manually reset using the display mounted
keys or by turning the unit off, then back on again.

1. Force High Speed Operation

2. Low Suction/High Discharge Pressure.

If UL1 has unloaded and the suction pressure is less than 3 PSIG (0.2 bar) for at least 20 seconds or the discharge
pressure is greater than the calculated maximum for more than five seconds, the engine will be forced to run in low
speed for a minimum of five minutes.
After five minutes, the engine can return to high speed if suction pressure is greater than 3 PSIG (0.2 bar) for 30 seconds
or discharge pressure is less than the calculated maximum for 30 seconds.
3. Engine Coolant Warm-Up.

The engine will run in low speed until the coolant is above 26°C.
4. Defrost.
The engine Is generally in high speed but will run in low speed during the high ambient pump down and at the end of
the defrost cycle while the refrigerant control solenoids are realigned.

If the DOOR/REMOTE SWITCH Configuration is set for low speed, the engine will run in low speed when the
door/remote switch is open/active.
6. RAT & SAT Alarms.

When the A122 - “CHECK RETURN AIR SENSOR” and A123 - “CHECK SUPPLY AIR SENSOR” alarms are both active at the
same time the control system will enter Cargo Protect Mode.

operate in high speed.
9. Product Shield High Air.

The engine is forced to high speed if the PRODUCT SHIELD HIGH AIR Configuration is active, refer to Section 4.10.3
10. High Speed Delay.

Whenever the engine starts, the unit will remain in low speed according to the Continuous or Start-Stop High Speed
Delay Functional Parameter setting.

will be forced to high speed if the refrigerated compartment temperature is not yet down to setpoint.
12. High Speed Delay.

Whenever the engine is in low speed, transition to high speed will be delayed for the HIGH SPEED DELAY Configuration
setting.
13. Range Protect.

When the unit is operating in Range Protect and the compartment temperature is inside the protected range, while all
other conditions to allow an off cycle are not met the engine will operate in low speed.
