Access the Control Test Terminate Lockout table to view vessel pressures and turn on

 

machine water pumps.

Crack open valve 5, gradually increasing pressure in the evacuated vessel to 68 psig

 

(469 kPa), for HCFC-22, 35 psig (141 kPa) for HFC-134a. Feed refrigerant slowly to

 

prevent tube freeze up.
