8)If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side. Use a throttling valve or liquid dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through the low-side access port with the unit running.

9)Close the two refrigerant access valves and disconnect the hoses and service manifold.

10)Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.

B.Brazing

DANGER

1.Refrigerant R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176° F.

2.Refrigerant R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames) R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.

3.Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.

4.Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.

5.Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing. Refrigerant leaks can be detected by charging the unit with a little refrigerant, raising the pressure with nitrogen and using an electronic leak detector.

Note: All brazing-connections inside the evaporator case are clear-paint coated. Sandpaper the brazing connections before unbrazing the components. Use a good abrasive cloth to remove coating.
