The hot gas defrost unit coolers conforms to

the standard 3-pipe hot gas system using a check

valve assembly, an electrical control to terminate

the defrost, and a hot gas solenoid valve. The

check valve assembly transports the hot gas

between the drain pan loop and the sideport

distributor of the coil. The check valve assembly kit

is available for shipped-loose or factory-installed

for an additional cost.

The electrical control option includes an

adjustable defrost termination and fan delay

control (DTFD) which is standard. An optional

(2) control electrical system is available with one

adjustable control for defrost termination (DT)

and one fixed control for the fan delay (FD) for

an additional cost. For both the DTFD and DT

adjustable controls, the remote bulb position is

with the bulb strapped to the suction line to insure

a complete defrost. The remote bulb is positioned

by the installer. The hot gas solenoid valve must be

ordered separately and will be shipped-loose. The thermostatic expansion valve could be ordered separately and shipped-

loose or the thermostatic expansion valve could be factory-installed with a liquid line for an additional cost.

The liquid line is designed for the body styles of the Sporlan SQE, SBF, EG and the Alco HFESC thermostatic

expansion valves. The thermostatic expansion valve needs to be selected by the sales engineer. In a typical 3-

pipe, multiple evaporator system, the compressor discharge defrosts the evaporator. The liquid/vapor mixture of

refrigerant after defrost, however, returns to the common suction line of the system. In order to provide sufficient

re-evaporation of the liquid vapor mixture and sufficient heat for defrost, no more than one-third of the system

should be defrosted at one time. Some means of control in the 3-pipe hot gas system should be supplied to

regulate the large amount of liquid returning to the compressor, refrigerant slugging can otherwise damage

the compressor.

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.
