●Hardware interlock

This is an equipment control circuit for shutting off power in case of trouble. The circuit is logically configured using only relays and other hardware, and does not use software running on the CPU.

●Heat

Terms such as heat, heat load, cooling capacity, etc., that are used in this catalog, indicate quantities of heat that can be absorbed or radiated per unit of time. As a result, the units employed are [W] = [J/s] (work rate) or [kcal/hr].
1 kW = 860 kcal/hr

●Heat load

→ Cooling capacity

●Hot gas by-pass

A refrigeration circuit sometimes includes a circuit that allows high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas (hot gas) discharged from the compressor to by-pass the condenser so that it reaches the evaporator (on the low-pressure side) without being condensed. This prevents the evaporator temperature (on the low-pressure side) from dropping too far and reduces the risk of liquid refrigerant being drawn into the compressor when the cooling load is low (if there is nothing to refrigerate), thereby ensuring more stable functions of the refrigeration circuit.
This also allows a flow of hot gas to be intentionally directed to the evaporator with the aim of heating the evaporator rather than cooling it.
