NOTE

The required time in the above table is calculated based on the assumption that the ideal (or target) vacuum condition is less than –14.7 psig (–755 mmHg, 5 Torr).

(2)When the desired vacuum is reached, close the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve and turn off the vacuum pump. Please confirm that the gauge pressure is under –14.7 psig (–755 mmHg, 5 Torr) after 4 to 5 minutes of vacuum pump operation.

Charging additional refrigerant

Charging additional refrigerant (calculated from the liquid tube length as shown in Section “1-8. Additional Refrigerant Charge”) using the liquid tube service valve. (Fig. 7-5)

Use a balance to measure the refrigerant accurately.

If the additional refrigerant charge amount cannot be charged at once, charge the remaining refrigerant in liquid form by using the gas tube service valve with the system in cooling operation mode at the time of test run. (Fig. 7-6)

Finishing the job

(1)With a hex wrench, turn the liquid tube service valve stem counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.

CAUTION

To avoid gas from leaking when

removing the charge hose, make sure the stem of the gas tube is turned all the way out (“BACK SEAT” position).

(2)Turn the gas tube service valve stem counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.

(3)Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas tube service port (5/16") slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.

(4)Replace the 1/4 in. flare nut and its bonnet on the gas tube service port and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable wrench or box wrench. This process is very important to prevent gas from leaking from the system.

(5)Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid service valves and fasten them securely.

This completes air purging with a vacuum pump. The air condi- tioner is now ready for a test run.
