LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS - Continued.
REFRIGERATION UNIT (1, Figure 11).
The KECO Model F9000RE, is a self-contained, refrigeration/heating unit for military van containers. The unit is
designed to allow for starting and operating on a 10 KW, 60 hertz generator set.
CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY (2).
Houses the automatic and manual electrical control components.
EVAPORATOR COIL (3).
Absorbs heat from the air being circulated through the refrigerator enclosure, causing the low pressure liquid refrigerant
in the coil to evaporate.
COMPRESSOR (4).
Moves the refrigerant through the refrigeration system by raising the pressure of the incoming gas from the evaporator
coil and discharging it as a high-pressure gas.
CONDENSER COIL (5).
Releases heat from the high-pressure gas coming from the compressor causing the gas to condense into a high-pressure
liquid.
AC MOTOR (6).
Drives the air handling components.
EVAPORATOR FAN (7).
Circulates air through the refrigerator and across the evaporator coil.
CONDENSER FAN (8).
Circulates ambient, outside air across the condenser coil.
DUAL PRESSURE CONTROL SWITCH (9).
Provides over/under pressure protection for the refrigeration system. The switch has an automatic reset for overpressure
conditions.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL PRESSURE SWITCH (10).
Provides protection against loss of lubricating oil in the compressor. The switch has a manual reset for low oil
conditions.
ELECTRIC HEATER (11).
Heats the air being circulated through the refrigerator enclosure in low ambient temperature conditions.
