The refrigerant system must be completely sealed in order for the
Blueridge Ductless System to perform optimally and prevent damage to
the equipment.
If a refrigerant detector is not available, soap and water can be used.
The lineset(s) should be pressurized using dry nitrogen, 100-200 psig.
Then using a soap bubble solution, spray down all flare joints, and watch
for bubbles to appear. If any bubbles are present, tighten the flare nut,
or if nut is already tight, you may have to disconnect, and inspect flare or
re-flare the copper.
NOTE
Leakage detection is extremely important. If a leak is discovered
after the charge (refrigerant) has been released, the system can-
not be topped off at that point. Any remaining refrigerant would
need to be removed, a vacuum pulled on the entire unit, and the
system fully recharged by weight.
Single Zone
Vacuuming the lines to rid the air and moisture is essential in every Blueridge
Minisplit System. This can be done using a vacuum pump, gauges, and thor-
ough training, which prevents personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
