230V compressor, 115V evaporator

[ishium 80439]

I'm looking at a job that I need some input on. A restaurant owner bought a used walk in cooler. The nameplate ratings are as follows:

Compressor: 230V, RLA 6.4A, LRA 34.0
Fan motor: 230V, FLA 1.3A
Evaporator: 115V 2.3A

My question is can I just pull 4 conductors (H-H-N-G) and use one leg of the 230V feed for the evap or am I required to pull a separate circuit? One of the issues is that he has one panel that has 2 spaces left in it and one panel that has one space left so if I needed separate circuits I would need to pull from 2 separate panels (though they are next to each other).

Any thoughts/ input would be appreciated.

Isn't that the way an electric stove is wired? it looks as if your 2.3A evaporator load shouldn't be a problem.

The compressor and evaporator are usually located in different states.There should be a defrost timer which will switch power to the compressors to heating elements at the evaporator. I would call the mfg of the equipment for a wiring diagram for sure. Much restaurant equipment has been hacked together by unqualified buddies of the owners you usually need to start from scratch

There is no evaporator load it is probably a sporlan valve(mechanical) There are fans that blow across the evaporator and usually defrost heater elements at the evaporator coils to prevent freeze up.
