Vacuum pump:
①
Connect the filling hose to the fluoride injection mouth of the air
valve. Ensure that the valve cores of the air valve and fluid valve are tightly
closed.
②
Connect the joint of the filling hose to the vacuum pump, as shown in
Fig. 7-4.
③
Fully open the low pressure valve of the pressure gauge.
④
Start the vacuum pump to vacuumize the air for 20 minutes or more,
and ensure that the pressure gauge pointer points to -1.0 x 105 Pa (-76cmHg).
Close the low pressure valve, and stop running the vacuum pump. Wait 2
minutes. If the number indicated by the pressure gauge pointer does not rise,
the vacuumization and piping are successful. If the number indicated by the
pressure gauge pointer rises, it indicates that air is entering the system. In this
case, check the piping for leaks, and vaccumize the air again.
⑤
Remove the filling pose from the air valve.
