Air purge
❋❋Be sure that all valve cocks are closed.
ffThe air in the indoor unit and in the pipe must be purged. Make sure to vacuum inside of the connection pipe using vacuum pump after connecting pipes.(Use vacuum pump as shown at the figure.) If air remains in the refrigeration pipes, it will affect the compressor, reduce to cooling capacity and could lead to a malfunction.
1.Connect each assembly pipe to the appropriate valve on the outdoor unit and tighten the flare nut.
2.Connect the charging hose of low pressure side of manifold gauge to the packed valve having a service port as shown at the figure.
3.Open the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge
4.Purge the air from the system using vacuum pump for about 10 minutes.
5.Set valve cork of both liquid side and gas side of packed valve to the open position.
6.Mount the cap and the needle valve cap to the valve (see the below illustration), and tighten them at the torque of 183kgf•cm with a torque wrench.
7.Check for gas leakage.
