Removing connections 
shipping plugs

Before suction and discharge plugs are 
removed, the nitrogen holding charge 
must be released through the suction 
Schrader  valve  to  avoid  an  oil  mist 
blowout.  Remove  the  suction  plug 
first, then the discharge plug. Remove 
the  plugs  just  before  connecting 

the  compressor  to  the  installation 
in  order  to  avoid  moisture  entering 
the  compressor.  When  the  plugs  are 
removed,  it  is  essential  to  keep  the 
compressor  in  an  upright  position  so 
as to avoid oil spillage.

system cleanliness

The  refrigerant  compression  system, 
regardless of the type of compressor, 
will only provide high efficiency, good 
reliability,  and  a  long  operating  life  if 
the system contains only the refrigerant 
and  oil  for  which  it  was  designed. 
Other  substances  in  the  system  will 
not improve performance and in most 
cases will be very detrimental.
The  presence  of  non-condensables 
and  system  contaminants  such  as 
metal shavings, solder, and flux, have a 
negative impact on compressor service 
life.  Many  of  these  contaminants  are 
small enough to pass through a mesh 
screen  and  can  cause  considerable 
damage  to  a  bearing  assembly.  The 
use of highly hygroscopic polyolester 
oil in R-407C compressors requires that 
the oil be exposed to the atmosphere 
as little as possible.

System  contamination  is  one  of 
main  factors  affecting  equipment 
reliability  and  compressor  life.  It 
is  important  therefore  to  consider 
system cleanliness when assembling a 
refrigeration system.
During  the  manufacturing  process, 
system  contamination may be caused 
by:

 Brazing and welding oxides;

 Filings and particles from the removal 
of burrs in pipe-work;

 Brazing flux;

 Moisture and air

tubing

Only  use  clean  and  dehydratated 
refrigeration  grade  copper  tubing. 
Tube cutting must be done so as not 
to  deform  the  tubing  roundness.  
Ensure that no foreign debris remains 
in  the  tubing.  Only  refrigeration 
grade  fittings  should  be  used  and 

these  must  be  selected  and  sized 
to  minimize  pressure  drop  in  the 
completed  assembly.  Follow  the 
brazing  instructions  in  the  following 
pages.
Never  drill  holes  into  the  pipe-work 
after installation.
