Installation of refrigeration equipment on the "Gazelle". Refrigerator: instructions

Installation of refrigeration equipment on the "Gazelle" is advisable if transportation of perishable goods for long distances is assumed or if the door needs frequent opening, which raises the temperature inside the car. Many entrepreneurs use the model in question throughout the country. Below is a brief overview of the "Gazelle" with the refrigerator and the way it is mounted.

Technical indicators

The considered machine is excellent for use, if it is necessary to maintain a certain temperature regime - from +5 to -21 degrees. Auto "Gazelle" (refrigerator) is produced on several chassis, which allows you to choose a vehicle for specific requests and requirements.

Refrigerated van is a sandwich panel, which is mounted in a single structure. Its internal part is insulated with heat-insulating materials, for example plates made of polystyrene, and it is covered with sheets of food stainless steel. The outer part of the booth is trimmed with metal-coated sheet metal from corrosion.

There are two versions of the van version, depending on the required temperature indicators. Modifications of wall thicknesses differ: 500 and 100 mm, respectively. The first option allows you to maintain the product in a cooled form at a temperature of 0-5 degrees. The second design makes it possible to reduce the values in the working chamber to -20 ° C.

Main settings

The installation of refrigeration equipment on the "Gazelle" assumes a preliminary account of the carrying capacity and fluctuations in the temperature regime within the required limits. Depending on the main base, the carrying capacity and dimensions of the car are:

It is quite possible to order such a "Gazelle" (van-refrigerator) on an individual project. There are models equipped with several cameras inside which support different temperatures.

Preparing for installation

More often installation and repair of refrigerators are carried out by experts. However installation of the refrigerating equipment on "Gazelle" can be made by own hands at presence of certain skills and tools.

Before you begin the installation process, you will need to purchase the following items:

• Compressor installation;
• Automated control unit for refrigeration systems;
• Blocks for internal evaporator and external condenser;
• Electrical wiring;
• Connecting elements and pipes with refrigerant.

In addition, you need to stock up with a sealant, fittings, a material that disguises the fastening housings, a tool for drilling holes and clamping the fixing parts.

Basic work

The compressor must first be installed. On the power unit, you need to fix the special bracket. The device is leveled taking into account the belt drive so that the pulley does not interfere with the travel. Then, low and high pressure hoses are mounted on the compressor. They are crimped by fittings, excess parts are cut off. After that, the pulley is connected to the compressor and the motor. The maximum play should be within 6 mm.

Further, the evaporator and the condenser are fixed through pre-drilled holes, where the tubes with refrigerant will pass. In the place of fastening it is recommended to make rigid bookmarks, which will prevent damage to the van from vibrations. The evaporator is placed inside the booth, and the condenser, respectively, outside. Compressor hoses are connected, all the latches are tightened.

The final stage

Installation of the refrigerator on the "Gazelle" involves the laying of the wiring. It is placed through the same holes as the hoses from the compressor. Here it is worth considering the connection of wires of the same color to each other and their subsequent tightening together, which will avoid sagging and fraying. Then the wiring is fixed at 3-4 points inside the van.

To connect the control panel wires are output through the technical hole under the instrument panel. Next, the wiring is connected in color. The assembly is mounted on the amplifier behind the glove box. The controller is conveniently located in the vicinity of the rear-view mirror. Finally, connect the positive lead to the battery, fill the system with a coolant and check its operation.

Types of refrigerators

Refrigeration equipment is characterized by the type of compressor system. Installation of the refrigerator on the "Gazelle is made with the following types of drive:

• Direct transmission;
• Self-contained drive;
• Multi-temperature version.

The first option, as a rule, is used on cars with small dimensions. It is driven directly from the power unit. Autonomous structures are equipped with "Gazelle" with trailers and large models. The unit operates from a diesel engine, designed exclusively for providing energy to the van.

Installation of refrigeration equipment on the "Gazelle" of the third type is suitable for all modifications. The main condition is the presence of a partition in the body. Multi-temperature designs ensure the maintenance of the set temperature in each individual section. The price for new refrigerators ranges from 90-200 thousand rubles, depending on the category of the device and its manufacturer.

The result

In conclusion, it can be noted that Gazel with refrigeration equipment is one of the most popular cars among business executives and entrepreneurs. An additional advantage is that on cars with different chassis you can install several types of equipment. And the cost of the units is quite acceptable.

In addition, the installation and repair of refrigerators really make their own. A wide range of modifications allows you to choose the best option for almost any requests and wishes. The car in question can be used to maintain the products both in a cooled form and in a complete "freeze". More advanced variations allow you to adjust the temperature in the van in sections.
