Receiver and magnetic valve

A receiver is a small vessel that contains refrigerant and works as a buffer to handle different loads on the cooling system, which could be caused by e.g. very differing temperatures in the environment of the cooling unit, or that the cooling unit is placed some distance from the tank or at a different height level.

A receiver as an option, in these cases, ensures an optimal performance of the cooling unit.

A magnetic valve is recommended as an option when the cooling unit is placed some distance from the tank. It prevents refrigerant migration to the evaporator and thus gives the system a better compressor start and thus a longer lifespan.

The receiver and magnetic valve should be factory mounted, but can if necessary also be retrofitted by an authorized cooling technician.

Advantages with a receiver and magnetic valve;

  • Secure optimal performance of the cooling unit
  • Enable placement of the cooling unit on a distance from the tank or on a different height level
  • Minimises the risk for operational disturbances if the ambient temperature is varying
  • Grant a better start and longer lifespan for the compressor
