Method Of Charging / Repairs

The acceptable method for charging the RAC system is the Weighed in Charge Method. The weighed in charge method is applicable to all units. It is the preferred method to use, as it is the most accurate.

The weighed in method should always be used whenever a charge is removed from a unit such as for a leak repair, compressor replacement, or when there is no refrigerant charge left in the unit. To charge by this method, requires the following steps:

1.Install a piercing valve to remove refrigerant from the sealedsystem. (Piercing valve must be removed from the system before recharging.)

2.Recover Refrigerant in accordance with EPA regulations.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Proper safety procedures must be followed, and proper protective clothing must be worn when working with a torch.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in moderate or serious injury.

3. Install a process tube to sealed system.

CAUTION

FREEZE HAZARD

Proper safety procedures must be followed, and proper protective clothing must be worn when working with liquid refrigerant.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in minor to moderate injury.

4.Make necessary repairs to system.

5.Evacuate system to 200 microns or less.

6.Weigh in refrigerant with the property quantity of R-22 refrigerant.

7.Start unit, and verify performance.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Proper safety procedures must be followed, and proper protective clothing must be worn when working with a torch.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in moderate or serious injury.

8. Crimp the process tube and solder the end shut.
