Leak Testing

After the line set has been connected to the indoor and outdoor units, the line set connections and indoor unit must be checked for leaks.

WARNING

Fire, Explosion, and Personal Safety Hazard.

Failure to follow this warning could result in damage, personal injury, or death.

Never use oxygen to pressurize or purge refrigeration lines. Oxygen, when exposed to a spark or open flame, can cause damage by fire and/or an explosion, that could result in personal injury or death.

Using an Electronic Leak Detector

1.Connect the high pressure hose of the manifold gauge set to the suction valve service port. (Normally the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port; however, connecting it to the suction ports helps to protect the manifold gauge set from damage caused by high pressure.)

2.With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylin- der of R410A refrigerant. Open the valve on the R410A cylinder (vapor only).

3.Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow R410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in a trace amount of R410A. (A trace amount is a maxi- mum of 2 oz. of refrigerant or 3 lbs. pressure.) Close the valve on the R410A cylinder and the valve on the high pressure side of the manifold gauge set. Discon- nect the R410A cylinder.

4.Connect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure regulat- ing valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.

When using high pressure gas such as nitrogen for this purpose, be sure to use a regulator that can control the pressure down to 1 or 2 psig.

5.Adjust nitrogen pressure to 150 psig. Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge set to pressur- ize the line set and the indoor coil.

6.After a short period of time, open a refrigerant port to make sure that an adequate amount of refrigerant has been added for detection (refrigerant requirements will vary with lengths). Check all joints for leaks. Purge nitrogen and R410A mixture. Correct any leaks and recheck.

Evacuation

Evacuating the system of noncondensables is critical for proper operation of the unit. Noncondensables are defined as any gas that will not condense under temperatures and pressures present during operation of an air conditioning system. Noncondensables and water vapor combine with refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper piping and compressor parts.

WARNING

Do not use a compressor to evacuate a sys- tem. Avoid deep vacuum operation. Extremely low vacuums can cause internal arcing and compressor failure. Danger of equipment damage. Damage caused by deep vacuum operation will void warranty.

Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum gauge that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument that reads down to 50 microns.

1.Connect the manifold gauge set to the service valve ports as follows:

• Low pressure gauge to suction line service valve

• High pressure gauge to liquid line service valve
