5. Leak detection
Check all couplings with leak detector or with soapy water. See next graphic.
A ...... Low pressure valve
B ...... High pressure valve
C, D....Connecting pipe coupling to indoor unit
Note: Isolate entire surface of all exposed parts on flared piping.
Note: Incomplete isolation may cause leaks due to condensation.
6. Vacuum test
• Use a vacuum pump that reaches a level below -0.1MPa and with capacity for discharge above 40L/min.
• Outdoor unit does not require a vacuum test. Therefore both gas and liquid shutoff valves should be
maintained in closed position.
• After 2 hours or more of operation, ensure that the pump reaches a -0.1MPa reading or less. If after 3 hours
of operation the pump did not reach the -0.1MPa reading or less, test to verify the presence of water or gas
leaks in the piping.
