The hot gas unit coolers can be used in reverse cycle hot gas defrost systems using multiple evaporators
connected to one condensing unit. Generally, not more than one-third of the system defrosts at one time.
During the reverse cycle defrost, the reversing
During the reverse cycle defrost, the reversing
valve; located in the compressor discharge
line, diverts hot gas through the suction line
to the evaporator. See piping view in Figure
1. The suction line check valve directs the hot
gas through the drain pan loop which prevents
condensate in the pan from freezing. The hot
gas exits the loop at the pan loop outlet header
and enters the evaporator through the check
valve assembly. As the hot gas defrosts the coil,
heat is removed from the hot gas and eventually
it condenses into a liquid and exits the coil at
the distributor sideport. The liquid then flows
through the check valve of the thermostatic
expansion valve bypass assembly, around the
thermostatic expansion valve, and into the
system liquid line. The liquid refrigerant then
feeds other evaporators on the cooling cycle,
evaporates, and returns to the compressor
through their suction lines.
Recommendation is that both check valve kits are ordered: (For hot gas models with the hot gas loop drain
pan ONLY)
NOTE: The drain pan check valve kit can be ordered as an independent item. But the suction line check valve kit
NOTE: The drain pan check valve kit can be ordered as an independent item. But the suction line check valve kit
must be ordered with the drain pan check valve kit in order to complete the piping.

NOTE: When using the hot gas units with a hot gas loop drain pan on 0°F applications and below, an insulated
drain pan is required.
