6. Leak Test

Leak test must be made after connection of the refrigerant pipe according to the following diagram.

Close all the gas and liquid valves.To prevent nitrogen gas from invading the outdoor circulating system, close the valve tightly before pressure increase,(Both the gas and liquid valves must be tightly closed.)

Every cooling system must be charged slowly from the gas and liquid valves. It must be charged from the gas and liquid valves.

Note:

Never use oxygen, flamable and poisonous gases for the leak test.

(1)Pressurize for more than 3 minutes under 0.3MPa(3.0kg/cm2g)

(2)Pressurize for more than 3 minutes under 1.5MPa(15kg/cm2g). Serious leakage may be found.

(3)Pressurize for more than 24 hours under 3.0MPa(3.0kg/cm2g). Small leakage may be found.

Check if the pressure decrease

If the pressure does not decrease, then the test passes. If the pressure decrease, check for leakage.

There will be a 0.01MPa(0.1kg/cm2g) pressure change for every 1 C ambient temperature change during the 24-hour pressure charge. It should be corrected during the test.

Check for leakage

In the case of pressure decrease during steps (1) to (3), check the joints with the ear, hand or soapsuds for leakage. Repair it by welding or tighten the connecting nut up.
