MANIFOLD
1. Connect the vacuum pump, vacuum tight manifold set with
high vacuum hoses, thermocouple vacuum gauge and charg-
ing cylinder as shown.
2. If the service dill valves are to be used for evacuation, it is
recommended that a core remover be used to lift the core
for greater efficiency.
3. Start the vacuum pump and open the shut off valve to the
high vacuum gauge manifold only. After the compound
gauge (low side) has dropped to approximately 29 inches
of vacuum, open the valve to the vacuum thermocouple
gauge. See that the vacuum pump will blank-off to a maxi-
mum of 25 microns. A high vacuum pump can only pro-
duce a good vacuum if its oil is non-contaminated.
4. If the vacuum pump is working properly, close the valve to
the vacuum thermocouple gauge and open the high and
low side valves to the high vacuum manifold set. With the
valve on the charging cylinder closed, open the manifold
valve to the cylinder.
5. Evacuate the system to at least 29 inches gauge before
opening valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge.
6. Continue to evacuate to a minimum of 250 microns. Close
valve to vacuum pump and watch rate of rise. If vacuum
does not rise above 1500 microns in three to five minutes,
system can be considered properly evacuated.
7. If thermocouple vacuum gauge continues to rise and levels
off at about 5000 microns, moisture and non-condensables
are still present. If gauge continues to rise a leak is present.
Repair and re-evacuate.
8. Close valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge and vacuum
pump. Shut off pump and prepare to charge.
S-103 CHARGING
Charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant.
Refer to the specification section or check the unit nameplates
for the correct refrigerant charge.
An inaccurately charged system will cause future problems.
1. Using a charging scale, allow liquid refrigerant only to enter
the high side.
2. After the system will take all it will take, close the valve on
the high side of the charging manifold.
3. Start the system and charge the balance of the refrigerant
through the low side. DO NOT charge in a liquid form.
4. With the system still running, close the valve on the charg-
ing manifold. At this time, you may still have some liquid
refrigerant in the charging manifold and will definitely have
liquid in the liquid hose. Reseat the liquid line core. Slowly
open the high side manifold valve and transfer the liquid
refrigerant from the liquid line hose and charging manifold
into the suction service valve port.
CAREFUL: Watch so
that liquid refrigerant does not enter the compressor.
5. With the system still running, reseat the suction valve core,
remove hose and reinstall both valve core caps.
6. Check system for leaks.
Units having capillary tubes or flow control restrictors can be
checked against the Desired Superheat vs. Outdoor Tempera-
ture Chart in this section. Coils with thermostatic expansion
valves (TXVs) must be checked by subcooling. See "Check-
ing Subcooling and Superheat" sections in this manual.
If a restriction is located, replace the restricted part, replace
drier, evacuate and recharge.
S-104 CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or damaged
suction and/or discharge valves, or scroll flanks on Scroll com-
pressors, reducing the ability of the compressor to pump re-
frigerant vapor.
The condition of the valves or scroll flanks is checked in the
following manner.
1. Attach gauges to the high and low side of the system.
2. Start the system and run a "Cooling Performance Test.
If the test shows-
⇒
Below normal high side pressure.
⇒
Above normal low side pressure.
⇒
Low temperature difference across coil.
⇒
Low amp draw at compressor.
-and the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty - replace
the compressor.
