a. Check With Temperature Tester
The bulb mounted thermistor may be read using a
Simpson Meter, CTC P/N 07-00013 or Robinair
Thermistor Temperature Tester, Model 12860 by
inserting one end of the lead into the receptacle provided
on the temperature recorder chart platen and the other
end in the meter. Be sure the temperature tester is
properly calibrated before using.
If a temperature tester is not available, the thermistor
reading may be obtained using an accurate Ohmmeter.
To read the thermistor, place one probe of ohmmeter in
the middle of the receptacle provided on the chart platen
and ground other probe to unit.
Note reading on meter and, using Table 6-3, convert
resistance to temperature.
b. Check With Ice Bath
Checking of the temperature recorder stylus reading is
accomplished by comparing the stylus reading against a
known temperature at the sensing bulb. To properly
check the temperature indication, the sensing bulb
should be stabilized at a temperature of 0
°
C (32
°
F). This
is accomplished by using one of the two following
methods, whichever is more convenient.
Unit Running:
Place set point at 0
°
C (32
°
F). After unit has pulled down
to this temperature, allow the compressor to cycle
ON-OFF three to five times to be certain temperature
has stabilized at 0
°
C (32
°
F). If the temperature
indicated by the recorder differs from 0
°
C (32
°
F) by
more than 0.6
°
C (1
°
F) when compressor cycles off,
rezeroing must be performed.
Unit Off:
Place the recording thermometer sensing bulb in 0
°
C
(32
°
F) ice-water bath. Ice-water bath is prepared by
filling an insulated container (large enough to
completely immerse bulb) with ice cubes or chipped ice,
filling voids between ice with water, and agitating until
mixture reaches 0
°
C (32
°
F) as shown by a laboratory
thermometer.
When the ice bath temperature reaches 0
°
C (32
°
F), as
shown by the laboratory thermometer reading, compare
the temperature indicated by stylus with temperature
shown by the thermometer. Allow sufficient time to
ensure bulb has cooled to the ice bath temperature. If
the two readings do not agree /-- 0.3
°
C (1/2
°
F),
the recording thermometer should be rezeroed.
c. Rezeroing the Temperature Recorder
1. Be certain that the element sensing bulb tempera-
ture has stabilized at 0
°
C (32
°
F). Note the amount of
temperature difference between the test meter or
thermometer reading and the stylus indicated tem-
perature.
If the difference noted between the known element
temperature and indicated temperature is within
acceptable limits (+/-- 0.3 of 0
°
C = 1/2
°
of 32
°
F), do
not attempt to rezero. If more than +/-- 0.3
°
C (1/2
°
F)
in variation, carefully note the number of degrees.
2. Loosen set screw (item 6, Figure 6-26) and zero
thermometer by turning pinion shaft (item 7). Length-
ening pinion shaft (counterclockwise) raises stylus
indicated temperature reading; shortening shaft
(clockwise) lowers stylus reading. Then retighten set
screw.
3. Reset control at 0
°
C (32
°
F), start the refrigeration
unit and repeat accuracy check. After temperature
stabilization, temperature recorder should be within
0.3
°
C (1/2
°
F) limits.
d. Replacing Temperature Recorder Element
(Bulb and Capillary)
The element and bulb are mercury-filled. The element
flange contains three O-rings. Care should be taken to
install the new element flange without damaging the
O-rings. It is possible for a mercury leak to develop at
the flange if O-ring damage occurs
The stylus reading will continue to fall below actual
container temperature if a leak develops in the flange,
capillary or bulb. To replace the temperature recorder
element:
1. Turn unit OFF and disconnect power source.
2. Remove upper back panel. Remove bulb clamps
securing bulb to unit.
3. Remove two flange screws from recording thermom-
eter. If a thermistor is installed, remove the fitting
from the recorder platen. Feed capillary and element
through the unit.
