Special Precautions To Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems
Only technically-qualified persons, trained and certified in the handling of refrigerant and operation of
refrigeration systems, should perform the operations described in this manual.
If a refrigeration system is being charged from refrigerant cylinders, disconnect each cylinder when empty or
when system is fully charged. A gauge should be installed in the charging line to indicate the refrigerant
cylinder pressure. The cylinder may be considered empty of liquid R-22 refrigerant when the gauge pressure is
25 psi or less, and there is no frost on the cylinder. Close the refrigerant charging valve and cylinder valve
before disconnecting the cylinder. Loosen the union in the refrigerant line, SLOWLY and CAREFULLY, to
relieve refrigerant pressure in the charging hose.
