Seal test
- Remove the protective plug (
B
) from the
fi
lling hole
(
Schrader
) in the gas valve (large diameter).
- Connect the high pressure hose from the
Manifold
to
the
fi
lling hole (
fi
g. 55
).
- Connect the nitrogen bottle to the
Manifold
(only use
dehydrated nitrogen type U).
- Fill the refrigeration circuit with nitrogen to maximum
10 bar (
gas-condenser-liquid connection system
).
- Maintain this pressure in the circuit for 30 minutes.

- If a pressure drop occurs, bring it back down to 1 bar
and look for leaks with a leak detector, repair and
repeat the test.

- Once the pressure is steady and there are no leaks,
empty the nitrogen by leaving the pressure above
atmospheric pressure (between 0.2 and 0.4 bar).

Creating a vacuum
The triple evacuation method (APPENDIX 2)
is strongly recommended for any installation
and especially when the outdoor temperature
is below 10°C.
- If necessary, calibrate the manometers(s) of the
Manifold
to 0 bar. Adjust the vacuum gauge to the
atmospheric pressure (
≈
1013 mbar).
- Connect the vacuum pump to the
Manifold
. Connect
a vacuum gauge if the vacuum pump is not equipped
with one.

- Create a vacuum until the residual pressure* in the
circuit falls below the value given in the following table
(* measured with the vacuum gauge).

- Let the pump continue to operate for another
30 minutes minimum after reaching the vacuum.
- Close the
Manifold
valve, then stop the vacuum pump
without disconnecting any of the hoses in place.
