Nitrogen Purge for MDC Brazing —
• Expansion Valves (EXVA~C) in MDC units are shipped from factory and opened to 120 pulses
• Expansion valves for indoor units also have an initial opening from the factory
• During brazing, purge with high-purity nitrogen from ODU high and low pressure service valves. Recommended nitrogen
flow rate is approximately 1.76 ft

/h*. This is brazing sequence for
* Note that
the flow capacity through this system is limited, so you cannot “blow” through the lines with a high
flow of nitrogen. The line can only be slowly purged according to the flow rate mentioned above.
