METHOD 1:

Us this method if the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shut−off valves, or if the unit is not operational and you plan to use the existing HCFC−22 to flush the system.

Remove all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing system. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.

METHOD 2:

Use this method if the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shut−off valves, and you plan to use new HCFC−22 refrigerant to flush the system.

The following devices could prevent full system charge recovery into the outdoor unit:

SOutdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if applicable) when tripped can cycle the compressor OFF.

SCompressor can stop pumping due to tripped internal pressure relief valve.

SCompressor has internal vacuum protection that is designed to unload the scrolls (compressor stops pumping) when the pressure ratio meets a certain value or when the suction pressure is as high as 20 psig. (Compressor suction pressures should never be allowed to go into a vacuum. Prolonged operation at low suction pressures will result in overheating of the scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll tips, drive bearings and internal seals.)

Once the compressor can not pump down to a lower pressure due to one of the above system conditions, shut off the vapor valve. Turn OFF the main power to unit and use a recovery machine to recover any refrigerant left in the indoor coil and line set.

Perform the following task:

AStart the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line valve.

BUse the compressor to pump as much of the existing HCFC−22 refrigerant into the outdoor unit until the outdoor system is full. Turn the outdoor unit main power OFF and use a recovery machine to remove the remaining refrigerant from the system.

NOTE

CWhen the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.

DCheck gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.

Elite Series, XC14 specifications

The Lenox Elite Series XC14 is a remarkable tool designed for superior cutting performance in various applications. This saw blade stands out due to its innovative technologies and features, which cater to the needs of professionals in woodworking, metalworking, and general cutting tasks.

One of the key features of the XC14 is its carbide-tipped teeth. These teeth are engineered for longevity and efficiency, allowing for extended use without performance degradation. The unique geometry of the teeth enhances cutting speed while minimizing resistance, making it ideal for a range of materials including hardwoods, softwoods, and metals.

The blade’s construction is another significant aspect of its design. Made from high-quality steel, the XC14 ensures durability and resistance to bending or warping under stress. This robust construction contributes to the blade's overall stability, resulting in smoother cuts and reduced vibration during operation.

Another noteworthy technology embedded in the XC14 is its advanced tooth design. The combination of alternate top bevel (ATB) and flat (F) configurations allows for precision cutting and a cleaner finish. This feature is particularly beneficial when working on intricate projects that require a high level of accuracy.

To enhance performance further, the XC14 incorporates a unique thin kerf design. This design reduces the width of the cut, which not only conserves material but also requires less power from the saw. This energy efficiency translates to less wear on the saw, extending the lifecycle of both the blade and the tool itself.

The blade is also designed with heat dissipation in mind. Specially engineered cooling vents help in maintaining optimal temperature during operation. This technology reduces the risk of overheating, which can compromise the integrity of the blade and the quality of the cut.

Versatility is another standout feature of the Lenox Elite Series XC14. It is suitable for table saws, miter saws, and portable saws, making it a valuable tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Whether tackling large construction projects, meticulous cabinetry, or small home repairs, the XC14 adapts efficiently to diverse cutting needs.

In conclusion, the Lenox Elite Series XC14 combines advanced technologies, premium materials, and thoughtful design to deliver exceptional cutting performance. Its carbide-tipped teeth, innovative geometry, stable construction, thin kerf, heat dissipation features, and versatility make it a top choice for those seeking reliable and efficient cutting solutions in various applications.
