Section E- Refrigeration System

1.

Disconnect the suction and discharge lines from the compressor and remove
the filter-drier. Connect process coupling to outlet and inlet tube of
condenser.

2.

Connect hose to outlet process coupling and charging cylinder. Connect
another hose to inlet coupling and recovery system.

3.

Open charging cylinder and allow refrigerant to flow through condenser until
discharge into bag is clear.

4.

Disconnect capillary tube from evaporator. Flush evaporator in same manner
as condenser.

5.

Flush cap tube. This is only possible if you have proper service valve adaptor.

6.

Reassemble system.

Installing a New Compressor

Replacement of compressor and installation of filter-drier must be done in a
continuous sequence so system is exposed to atmosphere no longer than
necessary.

All replacement compressors are shipped with rubber plugs in the suction,
discharge and process tubes and contain the correct oil charge and a holding
charge of inert gas. Compressors have a low-side process tube attached to the
compressor shell. A high-side process tube is attached to the filter-drier.

Replacement compressors for refrigerator may have an oil cooler even if the original
compressor did not. If the product is not equipped for an oil cooler, leave the plastic caps in
place and install the compressor connecting only to the suction and discharge lines of the
new compressor.

NOTE

Entirely new compressors have been developed for use with R-134a and Ester oil
refrigeration systems. Both compressor and electric motor have been modified. Old

compressors intended for R-12 refrigerant must not be used for new systems charged
with R-134a.

 

 WARNING

DO NOT OPERATE  RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR WHEN CHARGING LIQUID

REFRIGERANT INTO  SYSTEM THROUGH ITS PROCESS TUBE.
