service port cap to a torque of 18N.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
2. Air purging by the refrigerant
Procedure:
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way
valves are set to the closed position.
2). Connect the charge set and a charging
cylinder to the service port of the 3-way valve
Leave the valve on the charging cylinder closed.
3). Air purging.
Open the valves on the charging cylinder and
the charge set. Purge the air by loosening the
flare nut on the 2-way valve approximately 45’
for 3 seconds then closing it for 1 minute; repeat
3 times.
After purging the air, use a torque wrench to
tighten the flare nut on the 2-way valve.
4). Check the gas leakage
Check the flare connections for gas leakage.
5). Discharge the refrigerant.
Close the valve on the charging cylinder and
discharge the refrigerant by loosening the flare
nut on the 2-way valve approximately 45’ until
the gauge indicates 0.3Mpa(43.5Psi) to 0.5
Mpa(72.5Psi).
6). Disconnect the charge set and the charging
cylinder, and set the 2-way and 3-way valves to
the open position
Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate
the valve stems.
7). Mount the valve stems nuts and the service
port cap
Be sure to use a torque wrench to tighten the
service port cap to a torque 18N.m.
Be sure to check the gas leakage.
6.7 Re-installation while the outdoor
unit need to be repaired
1. Evacuation for the whole system
Procedure:
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way
valves are set to the opened position.
2). Connect the vacuum pump to 3-way valve’s
service port.
3). Evacuation for approximately one hour.
Confirm that the compound meter indicates
-0.1Mpa(14.5Psi).
4). Close the valve (Low side) on the charge set,
turn off the vacuum pump, and confirm that the
gauge needle does not move (approximately 5
minutes after turning off the vacuum pump).
5). Disconnect the charge hose from the
vacuum pump.
2. Refrigerant charging
Procedure:
1). Connect the charge hose to the charging
cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way
valve
Connect the charge hose which you
disconnected from the vacuum pump to the
valve at the bottom of the cylinder. If the
refrigerant is R410A, make the cylinder bottom
