DISTILLING THE REFRIGERANT
1. Transfer the refrigerant from the chiller to the pumpout
storage tank as described in the Transfer the Refrigerant
from Chiller to Pumpout Storage Tank section.
2. Equalize the refrigerant pressure.
a. Turn on chiller water pumps and monitor chiller
pressures.
b. Close pumpout and storage tank valves 2, 4, 5, 8, and
10, and close chiller charging valve 7; open chiller iso-
lation valve 11 and any other chiller isolation valves,
if present.
c. Open pumpout and storage tank valves 3 and 6; open
chiller valves 1a and 1b.

the freezing point of the refrigerant. Let the storage
tank and chiller pressure equalize.

MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is necessary to keep all components
functioning as designed. A maintenance log is recom-
mended to ensure a proper maintenance schedule is
followed.
