INTRODUCTION
2.1 Introduction
The Carrier Transicold model 69NT40-561-001 to 199 series units are of lightweight aluminum frame construction,
designed to fit in the front of a container and serve as the container’s front wall.
They are one piece, self- contained, all electric units, which include cooling and heating systems to provide precise
temperature control.
The units are supplied with a complete charge of refrigerant R-134a and compressor lubricating oil, and are ready
for operation upon installation. Forklift pockets are provided for unit installation and removal.
The base unit operates on nominal 380/460 volt, 3-phase, 50/60 hertz (Hz) power. An optional autotransformer
may be fitted to allow operation on nominal 190/230, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz power. Control system power is provided
by a transformer which steps the supply power down to 18 and 24 volts, single phase.
The controller is a Carrier Transicold Micro-Link 3 microprocessor. The controller operates automatically to select
cooling, holding or heating as required to maintain the desired set point temperature within very close limits. The
unit may also be equipped with an electronic temperature recorder.
The controller has a keypad and display for viewing or changing operating parameters. The display is also
equipped with lights to indicate various modes of operation.
2.2 Configuration Identification
Unit identification information is provided on a plate located to the left of the receiver or water-cooled condenser, on
the back wall of the condenser section. The plate provides the unit model number, the unit serial number and the
unit parts identification number (PID). The model number identifies the overall unit configuration, while the PID
number provides information on specific optional equipment, factory provisioned to allow for field installation of
optional equipment and differences in detailed parts.
2.3 Feature Descriptions
2.3.1
Control Box
Units are equipped with either an aluminum or composite material box, and may be fitted with a lockable door.
2.3.2
Temperature Readout
The unit is fitted with suction and discharge temperature sensors. The sensor readings may be viewed on the con
-
troller display.
2.3.3
Pressure Readout
The unit is fitted with evaporator and discharge transducers. The transducer readings may be viewed on the con
-
troller display.
2.3.4
Compressor
The unit is fitted with a scroll compressor equipped with suction and discharge service connections.
2.3.5
Condenser Coil
