6. Air Purging

Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below. Therefore, they must be purged completely.

pressure in the system rises

operating current rises

cooling (or heating) efficiency drops

moisture in the air may freeze and block capillary tubing

water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system

Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump (for Test Run)

(1)Check that each tube (both narrow and wide tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Note that both narrow and wide tube service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.

(2)Using an adjustable wrench or box wrench, remove the valve caps from the service valve on both nar- row and wide tubes.

(3)Connect a vacuum pump and a manifold valve (with pressure gauges) to the service port on the wide tube service valve. (Fig. 57)

 

CAUTION

The service port on the wide tube

 

 

 

service valve uses a Schrader core

 

 

 

 

 

 

valve to access the refrigerant sys-

 

 

 

tem. The valve core is similar to

 

 

 

those used in automobile tires.

 

 

 

Therefore, be sure to use a vacuum

 

 

 

hose connector which has a push-

 

 

 

pin inside.

 

 

 

Be sure to use a manifold valve

 

CAUTION

 

 

for air purging. If it is not avail-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

able, use a stop valve (field sup-

 

 

 

ply) for this purpose. The “Hi”

 

 

 

knob of the manifold valve must

 

 

 

always be kept closed.

(4)With the “Lo” knob of the manifold valve open, run the vacuum pump. The operation time for the vacu- um pump varies with tubing length and the capacity of the pump. The following table shows the amount of time for evacuation:

NOTE

To prevent other refrigerants from being mistakenly charged to units which use R410A, the size of the charge port on the service valve is different from the one for other refrigerant types. For servicing such as recharging, the specified charging hose, manifold and vacuum pump adapter (with reverse flow prevention) for R410A must be used.

NOTE

The required time in Table 7 is calculated based on the assumption that the ideal (or target) vacuum condition is around 10 mmHg abs.
