103.1 hot gaS valveThe hot gas valve is used to bypass the capillary tube and send warm vapor to the evaporator when opened during the harvest cycle.

11Installing the Hot Gas Valve:Bend hot gas valve tubing similar to the one being replaced. DO NOT KINK TUBING OR OVERSTRESS TUBING AT VALVE JOINTS.1

123.2 evaporator The evaporator uses evaporating refrigerant to remove heat from the water that ows over the evaporator plate to form an ice slab.
