Harvest Cycle Refrigeration Sequence
Hot gas flows through the energized hot gas valve,
heating the evaporator. The hot gas valve is sized to
allow the proper amount of refrigerant into the
evaporator. This specific sizing (along with the
proper system refrigerant charge) assures proper heat
transfer, without the refrigerant condensing and
slugging the compressor.
