Removal of Refrigeration Cycle Components (Refer to 5-2-2.)

B. Removal of Refrigeration Cycle Components



CAUTION:

Before any refrigeration cycle component can be replaced, it is necessary to recover the refriger-
ant using standard recovery procedures and equipment.

To prevent oxidation, dry nitrogen should be conducted (flow rate 1 liters/min) through the pinch-
off tube during any brazing operation.

During any component replacement involving brazing, shield nearby parts with a steel plate,
asbestos, etc., to protect them from the flame.

(1) Evaporator

(2) Capillary tube

(3) Condenser

(4) Compressor

NOTE: Hold the compressor body, not the tube, when carrying the compressor.
