9)Install the new condenser.
10)Remove the drier, then place the new drier in position.
11)Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
12)Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use
13)Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge.
14)Replace the fan motor assembly in its correct position.
15)Replace the drip tray and drip tray hose in their correct positions. Secure the hose to the tee. Pour water into the drip tray and check for leaks.
