Vacuum required to remove moisture from refrigerating plants

Measured values have to be checked and recorded hourly after reaching the
required vacuum. After the vacuum pressure, the temperatures in the machine
house and the outdoor temperature in shade must be entered in the log. After the
vacuum test, the pressure compensation must be carried out with NH

The existing vacuum can be used to draw in the oil (if not already filled).

Warning!

 

If present, block when evacuating the oil pump!
