II. b-MODEL DESIGNATIONS:  
TU 044 HT  
OPERATION:  
The refrigeration system is the mechanism whereby heat is  
transferred from the cabinet to the outside air. It works under  
the principle that the heat moves from hot to cold as it tries to  
establish equilibrium.

TU = Traulsen Undercounter  
The microprocessor control signals a need for heat to be removed  
from the cabinet. The compressor begins by compressing the re-  
frigerant gas as it is discharged. The high pressure refrigerant  
now circulates through the condenser, removing heat from the  
refrigerant and condensing it into a liquid. From there the refrig-  
erant flows to the filter drier which removes all traces of moisture  
and particles from the system.

II. c-WIRING DIAGRAM:  
After the filter drier, the refrigerant passes through a “metering  
device”. Traulsen uses a thermostatic expansion valve to regulate  
the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coils.  
Refer to the wiring diagram for any service work per-  
formed on this unit. A copy is placed on the unit when  
shipped. Also, a copy of the wiring diagram is located on  
page 7 of this manual. Should you require another copy,  
or a wiring diagram for an older production unit, please  
contact Traulsen Service at (800) 825-8220. You should  
have model and serial number of unit prior to calling. See  
In the evaporator coil, heat is transferred from the cabinet to the  
refrigerant, which changed from a cold liquid to a warm low pres-  
sure gas. When the desired cabinet air temperature has been  
reached, the microprocessor control shuts off the compressor.  
See figure 2.  
page 1 for serial tag location and information.  
II. d-INSTALLATION:  
Generally TU Series Full Size Undercounter refrigerators  
and freezer units are installed by the dealer, or other  
parties contracted by the dealer or owner. Detailed in-  
stallation instructions are included along with each unit  
when shipped.  
II. e-CLEANING:  
Detailed cleaning instructions are included with each unit,  
however special care MUST be given to the condenser  
coil. The condenser coil must be cleaned at a minimum  
of every six months. This can be done with a vacuum  
cleaner using a brush attachment, or a stiff brush or whisk  
broom. For more information on cleaning, please refer  
to the Owner’s Manual.

II. h-AIR FLOW REQUIREMENTS:  
II. f-TOOL REQUIREMENTS:  
To assure optimum performance, the condensing unit of your  
Traulsen unit MUST have an adequate supply of air for cool-  
ing purposes. Therefore, the operating location must allow a  
minimum of 12” clearance in front of the louvers to allow for  
unrestricted air flow to the condensing unit.  
For most jobs a standard set of hand tools, a VOM and  
AC current tester, along with a temperature tester or ther-  
mometer are adequate tools. However, in some cases  
the following additional tools may be required as well:

X. SERVICE PROCEDURES & ADJUSTMENTS  
Certain procedures in this section require electrical test or measurements while power is applied to the  
machine. Excercise extreme caution at all times. If test points are not easily accessible, disconnect power, attach  
test equipment and reapply power to test.  
X. c-REFRIGERANT LEAK CHECK (cont’d):  
NOTE: The use of a nitrogen regulator is required.  
7) Set output valve on nitrogen valve to 120 psi.  
X. a-SYSTEM ACCESS:  
All external indicators should be checked as part of  
system diagnosis before determining the refrigerant  
pressures. Improper access may expose the refrigerant  
to contaminates and non-condensables which will result  
in system failure.  
8) Open nitrogen bottle valve and low side gauge manifold valve.  
Allow pressure to equalize.  
9) Shut off both valves and disconnect nitrogen bottle.  
10) Use a leak detector or a thick soapy solution and check for  
leaks at all tubing connections.  
X. b-SWEAT-ON PIERCING VALVES:  
NOTE: Sweat-on piercing valves are used for system  
diagnostics, but may be left on after service is com-  
plete. They may be installed while the system is fully  
charged.  
1) Place one piercing valve on the compressor process  
tube and one on the liquid line process tube. Follow the  
installation instructions provided by the manufacturer of  
the piercing valve.  
A - If leaks are found, repair leaks and repeat process.  
B - If no leaks are found, evacuate system as outlined in section  
“X. d - EVACUATING SYSTEM”).  
11) Charge the system by weighing in the exact charge  
and check for proper operation.  
2) When complete, follow the guidelines as outlined under  
“REFRIGERATION LEAK CHECK” and “EVACUATING  
SYSTEM.”  
X. d-EVACUATING SYSTEM:  
Introduction - Refrigeration reclaiming equipment is required. Our  
goal in system evacuation is to remove all the non-condensables  
possible. No evacuation method will remove 100% of the mois-  
ture and air from within the refrigeration circuit. Because of this,  
guidelines and methods must be developed and adhered to  
ensuring only harmless amounts of contaminants remain in the  
system.  
X. c-REFRIGERANT LEAK CHECK:  
Disconnect the electrical power to the  
machine at the main circuit box. Place a tag on the  
circuit box indicating the circuit is being serviced.  
This procedure requires the use of re-  
frigerants, be certain the work area is well ven-  
tilated. Safety goggles and gloves shall be worn  
since refrigerants may cause burns to the skin.  
GUIDELINES  
Do not pressurize system above 150 PSIG, prior  
to evacuation or during leak test procedures.  
• Use only a two stage vacuum pump (2 CFM or  
greater) and electronic micron.  
• Evacuate from high and low sides of the system.  
• No chemical additive or alcohols are to be used to  
“dry up” a system.  
• Blow down of system with DRY NITROGEN prior to  
evacuation is acceptable and many times desirable.  
See “System Clean-Up.” See page 9.  
• Evacuate to 200 microns.  
NOTE: The use of R-22 in small quantities is Recom-  
mended as a trace gas for leak detection.  
NOTE: This leak check procedure is to be used only after  
the refrigerant has been properly reclaimed.  
1) Access the refrigeration system (note: see section  
III. a).  
2) Attach gauge manifold set to the system, low side to  
process tube on the compressor and the high side to  
the process tube.  
PROCEDURE  
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine  
at the main circuit box. Place a tag on the circuit box indicat-  
ing the circuit is being serviced.  
3) Connect refrigerant bottle to the center of gauge  
manifold and open the valve on the bottle. Bleed charg-  
ing hose at the manifold gauge to remove air from the  
system.  
This procedure requires the use of refrigerants,  
be certain the work area is well ventilated. Safety goggles  
and gloves shall be worn since refrigerants may cause burns  
to the skin.  
4) Open valve on low side of gauge manifold and charge  
system with one ounce of R-22.  
5) Close low side valve on gauge manifold and the valve  
on the refrigerant bottle.  
6) Disconnect refrigerant bottle and connect nitrogen  
bottle.

9) Disconnect power to the unit and replace any covers  
removed.  
to schrader valve on filter/drier process line.  
3) Connect center line of gauge manifold to vacuum pump.  
X. f-SYSTEM CLEAN UP/INTRODUCTION:  
When a compressor burn-out or moisture infiltration  
is encountered, the service person must make the de-  
termination as to the degree of system contamination.  
Normally a compressor burn-out will fit into one of three  
categories:  
4) Turn vacuum pump on and open both sides of gauge mani-  
fold.  
5) Pull a vacuum to 200 microns.  
6) Break the vacuum with 3 psig of dry nitrogen.  
7) Repeat steps 5 and 6.  
8) Pull vacuum to 200 microns.  
• CONTAINED - compressor oil not acidic, no oil dis  
coloration.  
9) Charge system and check for proper operation.  
• CONTAMINATED COMPRESSOR - oil acidic,  
discoloration of oil, contamination limited to  
compressor.  
• MASSIVE CONTAMINATION - contaminated oil  
and/or refrigerant pumped through system.  
X. e-CHARGING SYSTEM:  
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine  
at the main circuit box. Place a tag on the circuit box indicat-  
ing the circuit is being serviced.  
This procedure requires the use of refrigerants,  
be certain the work area is well ventilated. Safety goggles  
and gloves shall be worn since refrigerants may cause burns  
to the skin.  
CONTAINED  
1) Replacement of liquid line drier.  
2) Install suction filter drier for clean up and then remove  
it when service is complete. Usually within 48-hours.  
1) Access the refrigeration system.  
3) Replacement of compressor.  
4) Evacuation (to 200 microns).  
5) Charge by weight.  
2) Attach gauge manifold set to system, low side to process  
tube on the compressor and the high side to the process tube  
on the drier.  
NOTE: See “SYSTEM ACCESS.”  
CONTAMINATED COMPRESSOR  
3) Be sure the system is properly leak checked and evacuated  
before charging as outlined under “LEAK CHECK” and “EVACU-  
ATING SYSTEM.”  
The “contaminated compressor” requires the same pro-  
cedure as the “contained” burn-out. Plus, the system  
must be flushed with nitrogen after the compressor and  
drier has been removed.  
4) Make certain both valves are closed on the gauge manifold.  
Open the valve on the bottle. Bleed charging hose at the manifold  
gauge to remove air.  
NOTE: Initially charge system through high side to prevent liquid  
refrigerant from reaching compressor.  
5) Open the high side gauge valve (red). Allow refrigerant to flow  
into the system until the nameplate charge is reached or until the  
high side will not accept any more refrigerant. At this point, shut  
the gauge and bottle valves.  
6) Reconnect power to the unit and check for proper operation  
and high pressure leaks.

1. Compressor  
Pumps refrigerant thru refrigeration system components and compresses the low  
pressure vapor into high pressure vapor.  
2. Evaporator Fan  
Draws air across condenser coil to aid in removing heat from the refrigerant and  
moves air across compressor to aid in cooling the compressor.  
3. Start Capacitor  
4. Run Capacitor  
Stores electrical charge which helps start the compressor motor.  
Helps keep the compressor motor running after starting.  
5. Microprocessor Control  
6. Drawer Perimeter Heater  
7. Contactor Relay  
Performs the functions of the 1) defrost timer, 2) high limit switch, 3) thermometer and  
4) thermostat.  
Heats drawer opening to prevent condensation from forming.  
Controls voltage to compressor motors.  
XI. d-INSTALLATION OF THE SENSORS:  
The third sensor used is a Liquid Line Sensor. This sen-  
sor is to be installed on the liquid line as it comes out  
of the condenser coil. The part number for this sensor  
is 337-60407-01.  
There are two sensors used inside the cabinet. The first one is  
the Cabinet Sensor that is used to cycle the compressor on and  
off at the correct temperature. The cabinet sensor is mounted  
through the wall of the evaporator housing on the return side of  
the evaporator.  
When the condensing temperature reaches 140°F or  
greater the control will display “CLN-FIL.” Should the  
condensing temperature increase to 160°F the com-  
pressor will automatically shut off. When the liquid line  
temperature drops below 140°F the compressor will  
restart and when the line temperature drops to 120°F  
the alarm will reset.  
Illustration XI. 1  
The Evaporator Coil Sensor is to be mounted in the evaporator,  
in the center of the coil and fully inserted into the coil until only  
the wire is visible and then pinch the fins around the cable to  
hold it in place. The part number for the Evaporator Coil Sensor  
is 337-60406-02.
