If the pressure…
Then…
Does not change
There is no moisture in the system.
This procedure is finished.
Increases
There is moisture in the system. Go
to the next step.
3
Vacuum the system for at least 2 hours to a manifold pressure of −0.1 MPa
(−1 bar).
4
After turning the pump OFF, check the pressure for at least 1 hour.
5
If you do NOT reach the target vacuum or CANNOT maintain the vacuum for
1 hour, do the following:
▪
Check for leaks again.
▪
Perform vacuum drying again.
INFORMATION
After opening the stop valve, it is possible that the pressure in the refrigerant piping
does NOT increase. This might be caused by e.g. the closed state of the expansion
valve in the outdoor unit circuit, but does NOT present any problem for correct
operation of the unit.
NOTICE
Make sure to open the stop valves after performing vacuum drying. Running the
system with the stop valves closed may break the compressor.

▪
Keep both stop valves open during operation.
▪
Do NOT apply excessive force to the valve stem. Doing so may break the valve
body.
▪
ALWAYS make sure to secure the stop valve with a spanner, then loosen or
tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench. Do NOT place the spanner on the
stem cap, as this could cause a refrigerant leak.
