Indoor Refrigerant Metering Device Removal and Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil

Flushing is only required when the existing system used HCFC−22 refrigerant. If the existing system used HFC−410a, then remove the original indoor coil metering device and proceed to Installing New Indoor Metering Device on page 16.

3FLUSHING LINE SET

The line set and indoor unit coil must be flushed with at least the same amount of clean refrigerant that previously charged the system. Check the charge in the flushing cylinder before proceeding.

ASet the recovery machine for liquid recovery and start the recovery machine. Open the gauge set valves to allow the recovery machine to pull a vacuum on the existing system line set and indoor unit coil.

BInvert the cylinder of clean HCFC−22 and open its valve to allow liquid refrigerant to flow into the system through the vapor line valve. Allow the refrigerant to pass from the cylinder and through the line set and the indoor unit coil before it enters the recovery machine.

AInverted HCFC−22 cylinder with clean refrigerant to the vapor service valve.

BHCFC−22 gauge set (low side) to the liquid line valve.

CHCFC−22 gauge set center port to inlet on the recovery machine with an empty recovery tank to the gauge set.

DConnect recovery tank to recovery machines per machine instructions.

CAfter all of the liquid refrigerant has been recovered, switch the recovery machine to vapor recovery so that all of the HCFC−22 vapor is recovered. Allow the recovery machine to pull down to 0 the system.

DClose the valve on the inverted HCFC−22 drum and the gauge set valves. Pump the remaining refrigerant out of the recovery machine and turn the machine off.
