Marine refrigerators are usually smaller in shape and size than domestic refrigerators to accommodate the space limitations of the ship, and the power supply can be alternating current or direct current, or both, to accommodate different power supply conditions. The refrigeration system is specially designed to protect it from seawater, salt and corrosion. The installation needs to be fixed to the hull to prevent movement or tilting in waves and wind waves. Due to the particularity of the Marine refrigerator, it may be affected in the process of transportation and handling, resulting in changes in its internal structure, especially the refrigerant oil inside the compressor may flow into the pipeline of the refrigeration system, the refrigerant oil will reduce the flow and heat transfer efficiency of the refrigeration system, affecting the refrigeration effect, the refrigerant oil will block the capillary or throttle valve in the pipeline, The pressure imbalance affects the working state of the compressor. Increase the load of the compressor, accelerate its wear, reduce its life.
In order to avoid these problems, the newly bought Marine refrigerator cannot be used immediately, and needs to be left for a period of time before being powered on. The purpose of standing is to let the refrigerant oil flow back from the pipeline to the compressor inside, restore the normal refrigeration system state, standing time according to the Angle of the refrigerator tilt, the degree of shaking, the temperature of the environment and other factors. Generally speaking, the resting time is between 2-24 hours. The specific time can refer to the manual or consult after-sales service personnel
