Low-pressure Side Becomes Negative
Gauge indication
Refrigerant cycle
Probable cause
Corrective action
Low-pressure side sometimes be-
comes negative.
• Air conditioning system does
not function and does not cy-
clically cool the compart-
ment air.
• The system constantly func-
tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted.
Refrigerant does not discharge
cyclically.
↓
Moisture is frozen at expan-
sion valve outlet and inlet.
↓
Water is mixed with refrigerant.
• Drain water from refrigerant
or replace refrigerant.
• Replace liquid tank.

Gauge indication

Probable cause
Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve
′
s pipe is frost-
ed or dewed.
High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.
Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
• If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move expansion valve and
remove the particles with dry
and compressed air (not
shop air).
• If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
• Replace liquid tank.
• Check oil for contamination.
