Step 8: Replace the compressor
For the removal of compressor, please refer to the section: Removal of Major Components.
Step 9: Check/Replace the gas-liquid separator
NOTE:
If a compressor is damaged and needs to be replaced, its gas-liquid separator should also be replaced. This
is to avoid the abnormal condition of the separator from affecting the safe and reliable operation of the system.
For the removal of gas-liquid separator, please refer to the section: Removal of Major Components.
Step 10: Check the system for leaks
(1) First of all, check each welding point. Check whether the welding points are smooth and whether there is
any obvious welding hole or other abnormal condition.
(2) Next, fill high-pressure nitrogen into the system for leak detection. If it is only the outdoor unit that needs
to be repaired and the indoor unit is confirmed normal, then it’s OK to charge high-pressure nitrogen into
the outdoor unit only. Fill in the nitrogen simultaneously from the high pressure side and low pressure
side. We recommend charging the nitrogen from the big and small valves at the same time. The
pressure of nitrogen should be above 20kgf. Then use soapy water to check for leaks. Check the
welding points particularly.
(3) Finally, retain the pressure of the system. Fill high-pressure nitrogen into the system and maintain the
pressure above 25kgf. Close the big and small valves and keep the pressure of indoor and outdoor units
for more than 12h. If the pressure remains unchanged, then start vacuum pumping; otherwise, check the
system for leaks again.
Temperature should be considered when judging the pressure change. If temperature changes by 1 ,
pressure will change by 0.01MPa or so.
For example, if temperature is 30 when nitrogen of 2.5MPa is charged, and temperature changes to 25
after 12h, we consider that the system is qualified if the pressure is found at 2.43MPa or above.
Step 11: Evacuate the system and charge refrigerant
Please refer to the section of maintenance: vacuum pumping and refrigerant charging.
Step 12: Connect electric components
Connect cables, compressor wires and the electric heating belt according to the signs marked before and
the wiring diagram on the cover of the electric box.
