The important role of the correct position
Refrigeration equipment of various brands work on a similar principle. The cooling system is a closed loop, consisting of a plurality of thin tubes.
Conventionally, it is divided into two parts: evaporator disposed within, and capacitor mounted on the outer rear wall. In general, these components are implemented in a coil shape, conducive to efficient absorption and heat impact.
In order not to damage the main components and relevant working bodies of the refrigerator during transport it is better to get acquainted with their position and the machine
Operating system of the refrigerator is filled with Freon, which continuously moves through the tubes alternately changing their state of aggregation.
cooling cycles occur at the same scheme:
- Gaseous refrigerant is pumped out of the evaporator and into the compressor;
- substance is compressed and high pressure is sent to the condenser;
- during the condensation of Freon liquefies and cools giving heat to the environment;
- the liquid passes through the filter-drier and directed towards the evaporator, entering it through the constricted capillary tube;
- the refrigerant pressure drops, causing it to boil;
- evaporating into gas, Freon absorbs heat from the inner chambers, uniformly cooling space.
Further pairs refrigerant pumped again and the cycle repeats. The role of the functional element in the process belongs to the compressor.
It pumps the refrigerant, creates the necessary pressure in each part of the system and is responsible for the smooth transfer of heat from the inside to the outside of the device.
A stable and quiet operation is maintained by suspending the engine on a frame and immersed in oil.
The compressor is placed in a metal casing and is installed in the rear of the equipment between the condenser and the evaporator. In modern versions of its almost not visible, because the producer hides the device to the wall
Any damage to the pipe system, the displacement or detachment from the compressor suspension leads to major breakdowns requiring complicated maintenance.
Disrupt the normal operation of the cooling system is easiest when transporting the product. That is why the approach to this issue should be the maximum liability.
All the most serious damage to the working nodes cooler is preferably applied during the transportation. After installation of the unit casing prevents mechanical stress
Preparation of refrigeration equipment to move
The famous writer Scott Westerfeld in one of his novels described the relocation as a horrible thing, after that you never know what to find and where you lose.
And so it is - carrying belongings from one place to another, there is a huge risk of something to damage or lose.
In order to prevent such troubles need to correctly plan the process in good faith, and pack the goods securely lock him inside the truck.
It is best to place the unit in the original carton. If she is not available, you can wrap the unit in heavy paper, cardboard, special bubble wrap. Transport the device without proper packing is strictly prohibited
If the refrigerator is new, its safe and reliable packaging manufacturer must ensure before as technology gets to the warehouse store.
When it is assumed to carry already used in the sector unit, it should first prepare responsible for such operations.
Preparatory work usually start a day, adhering to the following procedure:
- release of the products available freezer compartment and refrigerator;
- Unplug the appliance and wait for complete defrosting;
- gently rinse the inside and outside of the equipment neutral detergent composition (optimum version - warm soapy water);
- remove all the shelves, niches, boxes and balconies, each element separately packed into a segment of a soft cloth or paper;
- drain the water and thoroughly dry the inside.
Compressor necessarily fixed conveying screws or rope. Otherwise, from the violent shaking, vibrations and shocks it can easily fly off the seat.
The wire is attached to the compressor carefully with tape. In non-standard models of refrigerators that do not pass through the opening, the door is removed or dismantled door ludka.
Door apparatus also further fixed soft tie straps, a conventional masking tape or rope. This is done to ensure that they do not accidentally opened and not come off due to sudden movements
To start loading is possible only after the fulfillment of all the described processes. Ignoring even one of them often leads to incorrect operation of the device at the new location.
Carrying the unit from room to car and vice versa will require the participation of at least two people.
Will help ease the task of truck, pallet with wheels or special safety belts. According to standards transport equipment is transferred to an upright position.
Load and unload the unit into a trailer or body need to gently and carefully, avoiding sudden jolts and bumps. This is not to be taken for the door handle.
How to pack the refrigerator prior to transport, will show video:
Overview of possible modes of transportation
Regardless of the specific model dimensions, experts strongly recommend carrying any refrigerator in the cargo transport, placing it vertically.
However, we do not exclude the case when the carry equipment so that it is impossible because of the limited internal space of the vehicle. In fact, used three methods of accommodation: standing, lying down and tilted.
Ideally should carry refrigerator, placing it vertically. It is desirable to have chosen to transport the machine height of the boards was not less than the height of the unit. In the case of a trailer refrigerator need reliable support such as welded metal frame
Option # 1 - Transportation in an upright position
Transportation refrigerator standing - the best option, which emphasize manufacturers in the accompanying documentation to the technology. It ensures the safety of the internal components of the device and its normal operation in the future.
When large-scale apartment moving, usually bought a cargo taxi. Dimensions of the machine make it easy to fit even the largest refrigerator inside and secure the straps of his
The first step is carefully transferred the unit prepared to be transported and put into the car.
The cabin it is firmly fixed in the space and additional belts abutments preventing undesirable shifts under hard braking, cornering, and potholes. Once again check the reliability of locking doors.
Transferring equipment to the upper floors, you need to make sure that the compressor has been behind. In the front position during the steps of lifting the valve opens, oil retention. The fluid enters the tubing, and it badly affects the cooling capacity
The two-door model is glued tape in four places.
Between the cabin floor and the device housing is placed any available material that will perform the cushioning functions on the road and protect from damage coloring: polystyrene, cardboard from old boxes, several layers thick cloth.
If the refrigerator is planned transportation in a passenger car, do not try to put it vertically in the trunk or on the roof. More acceptable option - to place the device lying on the rear seats recline
Embodiment # 2 - transportation obliquely
Not being able to use the cars with high van carrying refrigerators longer than 1.75 meters in the vertical position is difficult.
If the device does not fit into the cabin in full growth, may be installed at a slight incline. The angle of inclination must not exceed 40 degrees.
For transport refrigeration equipment at an angle it is important not to overdo it with the angle of inclination, as well as provide protection from all sides from accidental damage by placing a soft cloth rolls
Placing in a position to be well refrigerator fix, enclose and laterally under him as much as possible the number of materials that will extinguish vibration.
Drive a vehicle you need to carefully and cautiously. It is important that the driver was traveling at a minimum speed and whenever possible rode the smallest bumps and holes that occur on the roads.
Option # 3 - horizontal placement
On the question of whether it is possible to place the refrigerator in the cabin lying, experts give ambiguous answers.
The instructions of the overwhelming majority of refrigeration equipment manufacturers stated that doing so is impossible, as there is a high probability of damage.
Conveying new unit, do not forget to specify the manufacturer's recommendations about how to carry a specific refrigerator. Some plants reserve the right to withdraw the guarantee, if it is transported lying
Master, engaged in repair of household appliances, say that it is quite feasible, but not too long distances, taking into account a number of nuances and, as they say, at your own risk.
However, the statistics are not so sad: in 10 cases, the consequences of having 3 of them. Moreover, they are associated more with the bumpy road, careless loading and transportation, lack of good fastening parts than with the position of the equipment.
Set down the machine in a horizontal position must be on the right side. Should look up the side on which the exit tube compressor.
Another way of oil can lead to run-off, which then enters the circulatory system and clog the capillary tube.
If the tubes in different directions or are not visible, the refrigerator can be put on the right or on the left side. Putting the instrument on the back and the front part is not recommended - it's dangerous for the motor, the door structure is fraught with forcing the insulation
It's worth noting that the transport in the supine form of highly undesirable for the two types of equipment - old-style refrigerators manufactured in the Soviet Union, and the new models with built-in NoFrost.
Durable and heavy-duty Soviet units are equipped with very heavy motor, easy to break away from the anchorage during shaking, which is inevitable in a way.
In current products, equipped with the innovative technology, the compressor is often departs from the built-in internal spring.
The result - complete failure or partial violation of the compressor work, manifested in the form of ambient noise and knocking.
As a result of violation of transport regulations can completely damage the compressor or impair its connection with the system, due to which the need to repair the unit
Problems in violation of transport rules
Ignoring the established rules of the refrigerator transportation, equipment owners face many unpleasant consequences.
The most common cause for panic occurs when after installing a new place and a network connection device fails to work or function is faulty.
It is not necessary to include the unit immediately after entering the room. The oil in the engine, quickly gaining a thick consistency in the cold. To the oil composition had warmed up and evaporate the condensation will take several hours
Often this is due to the mixing of products of deterioration of oil that stimulates the motor jamming an already operated units.
Also, the reason can serve as the fact that the oil rasteksheysya during transport, have not had time to fully drain back into the compressor. In turn, it does not run without sufficient lubricant.
In most cases, you can deal with the problem without losses, allowing the technique to settle and acclimatize: 8-16 hours after the horizontal transport, 2-4 hours under the condition of warm weather and 4-6 hours - winter frosty period.
The longer and more complicated was the way, the longer it takes on a fixed holiday.
Not having the experience and knowledge to diagnose and repair damage, it is desirable to call a team of specialists. Illiterate Alteration technology will only increase the scale of the problem and complicate further repairs
If after the specified time, the refrigerator continues to operate correctly, it makes sense to talk about more serious factors that served as failure.
To one of the typical breakdowns include freon leakage provoked by depressurization and various mechanical damage due to improper transport device.
It is determined by several factors:
- compressor works, but the cooling capacity of the device is markedly reduced;
- Equipment is not included, but the light is in the chamber;
- after starting the machine starts to operate, but is turned off soon;
- It triggers an audible or visual indicator that signals the critical temperature indicators rises inside the device.
Finding similar symptoms, you need to find a place where there was a leak, replace the filter drier and refill freon equipment. This procedure is quite complicated and dangerous, so do not try to handle it on their own.
The next moment, which may affect the operation of the refrigerator, - failure of the compressor. When transporting often violated contacts and flies spring retaining rotor.
Because of this, the instrument can not be included at all, ceases to operate one of its divisions, there is a characteristic sound of the motor.
Since the compressor has a folding design, and it must be replaced by new, more likely that the repairs will be costly.
