3.0 Description of appliance

The GGPv models are dynamically cooled freezers with fin evaporators. A double fan draws air from the
interior through the evaporator and blows the cold air back into the interior.
The temperature is controlled by way of an air sensor placed in the intake opening.
Defrosting is via hot gas.

4.0 Main components and their functions

4.1 Electrical components and functions

Electronics
Type: Electronic microprocessor controller.
Final parameterisation of the electronics is performed by LIEBHERR

Components: Electronics housing + keypad with buttons

Setting range: -10 °C to -26 °C

Display range: -50 °C to +150 °C

Functions
Temperature alarm: Alarm value: 5 K lower or 8 K higher than the target value.
Delay: 60 minutes
Note: The delay time applies for heating instances that were not
caused by an operating situation. I.e. A separate parameter
delays a possible temperature alarm following a door
opening.
Visual: Alarm symbol lights up and additionally message “HI” (too warm)
or “LO” (too cold) flashes alternately with current internal
temperature (suppressed during start-up).

Audible: Intermittent beep (suppressed during start-up).

Note: This can be acknowledged via the audible signal button

and remains silent for the remainder of the time.
If required, an automatic reactivation of the audible
alarm can be activated and the appropriate time
(1–120 minutes) can be set.
-> Operating instructions.

Alarm test: This test run is used to check the function of the internal and a potentially
externally connected alarm device
–> Operating instructions or Chapter 7.4.
Cooling is not interrupted during this process.

Door alarm: Delay: 4 minutes (can be changed from 1–5 minutes

-> Operating instructions).
Visual: The message “dor” flashes alternately with the temperature
display.
Note: Every time the door is opened, the temperature display
and alarm symbol flash.
Audible: Intermittent beep.
Note: This can be acknowledged via the OFF switch for the
audible alarm and remains silent for the remainder of
the time.
If required, an automatic reactivation of the audible
alarm can be activated and the appropriate time
(1–120 minutes) can be set.
-> Operating instructions.

Defrosting: Activation: – Automatic, 1 hour after start-up.

– Automatic, after a total of 8 hours of compressor run time
(but at least 2x/day).
– Manual by pressing the defrost button.

Function: Defrosting by hot gas (see section 4.2.2.2)

The defrost water is collected in the evaporator tray and channeled
via a discharge pipe into the defrost water evaporator tray. During
the next cooling phase, this tray is heated by hot gas and the water
evaporates.

End: The defrost phase is generally ended thermally (+10 °C).

If thermal termination is not to be performed, the defrost phase is
stopped after 40 minutes.
– The compressor restarts following a dripping time of 10 minutes.
– After a further delay time of 5 minutes, the evaporator fans will
restart.
Display: The defrost symbol lights up during the defrost phase.

During the defrost phase, the value last displayed before the
defrosting started is retained.
The temperature alarm is deactivated for one hour after the end of
the phase.
However, two other options are available -> see operating
instructions:
– Defrost symbol as well as the alternating message “dEF” and the
current internal temperature.
– Defrost symbol as well as message “dEF”.

SuperFrost: Activation: Manual by pressing the SuperFrost button (3 seconds).

Function: Compressor runs constantly.
End: – Manually by pressing the SuperFrost button (5 seconds).
– Automatically as soon as the temperature is 5 K below
the set target value. However, no later than 2 hours.
Note: The temperature alarm is suppressed for 90 minutes
after the mentioned threshold is reached.
Display: SuperFrost symbol illuminated in the display.
HACCP: When: – For power failures longer than 1 minute (HF) if the temperature
threshold value is exceeded.
– In case of temperature alarm lasting longer than 61 minutes (=
temperature alarm delay + 1 minute) (HA).
Visual: Symbol flashes together with “HA” or “HF”.
Audible: Intermittent beep
Function: – Date, time and duration of the last three power failures and the
last three temperature alarms are saved.
– The highest and lowest internal temperatures (min./max.) are
saved.
During start-up (appliance is switched on with the ON/OFF
button), the min./max. temperature as well as the recording
interval for the first time the temperature falls below the max.
alarm value is reset.

Volt-free The volt-free contact is designed as a changeover contact and can be

alarm contact: incorporated into a central monitoring system as required.
In normal cases, the contact is tripped and goes into idle state during an alarm
(parameterised accordingly).

The alarm contact is active for the entire duration of the alarm.

Note: – The function can however be changed so that the alarm contact is
activated and deactivated with the audible alarm (see 7.1).
– The forwarding of the door alarm can generally also be deactivated
(see Chapter 7.2.).

Interface RS 485: Using this interface, the data can be transmitted to a PC and can be monitored
and archived there.
Sensors
Air sensor: Position: In the left rear upper corner of the interior.
Function: – Switches the compressor ON/OFF.
– Generates the display value.

Evaporator sensor: Position: Inserted into the evaporator.

Function: Terminates the defrost phase.

Reference sensor Position: Can be connected to the back of the aggregate housing and
(accessories): passed through the ceiling into the interior at the position
provided.
-> Operating instructions.
Function: Generates the display value instead of the air sensor.

Switches
Door switch: Position: On the underside of the aggregate housing.
Type: Key button
Contact type: Make contact
Function: Operation by door
Switching signal when:
Door closed: Door alarm OFF
Evaporator fans ON
Door open: Door alarm ON
Evaporator fans OFF

Thermal fuse: Position: Screwed onto the front side of the evaporator.
Type: Safety fuse
Contact type: Serves purely as a safety device!
Triggers and thus interrupts the power supply to the compressor
when the evaporator heats up to over +84 °C.

4.2.2 Function principle

4.2.2.1 Refrigerating
The solenoid valve is closed. The refrigerant is routed through the usual circuit.

Service Manual No. 47/2017 (Version 01) GGPv ..90

4.2.2.2 Defrosting
The evaporator is defrosted by means of hot gas. The compressor has to run before the defrosting phase. If a
defrosting request is made during compressor standstill, the appliance therefore cools in the normal way for two
minutes before the solenoid valve is triggered.

When the defrost phase begins, the solenoid valve opens and the hot gas flows into the evaporator basin heater and
the evaporator via the bypass. The refrigerant is then briefly cooled by the iced evaporator and consequently
liquefied. It is subsequently evaporated in the compressor housing by its heat. The gaseous refrigerant heated by the
dissipated heat of the compressor is subsequently pumped through the circuit.

4.3 Pressure compensating valve

The pressure compensating valve is fitted on the evaporator cover and allows rapid pressure compensation. Ambient
warmth is supplied via the aluminium body so that the valve does not have to be electrically heated.

4.4 Defrost water evaporation tray

The tray is fitted beneath the condenser. During the cooling phase, the tray is heated by hot gas to evaporate the
defrost water.

Fig. 4.4 /1

4.5 Evaporator basin heater

The evaporator basin heater is fitted underneath the evaporator and fastened to the basin with a screw. During the
defrosting phase, hot gas flows through the tube and hence ensures that the defrost water can flow into the drain
pipe.

7.0 Messages and error codes

7.1 Changing the logic for volt-free contact
In the default setting, the alarm contact remains activated for the entire alarm duration.
If the parameter “ASb” is set to 1 in the password-protected parameter level, the alarm contact
is activated in parallel with the audible alarm.

7.2 Deactivating the routing of the door alarm to the volt-free contact
To deactivate the routing of the door alarm to the volt-free contact, the (new) parameter “AdS” in the
password-protected parameter level must be set to 1.

7.3 Deactivating the automatic summer time/winter time adjustment

In the default setting, the automatic time adjustment is activated – the “dSE” parameter is set to 1.

The setting of the parameters dMO, ddO, dHo, dmF, ddf and dhF can be retained for the majority of countries
(e.g. o, EU zone). In case of deviations, these parameters can be adjusted.
