Evacuating the System
A.
OPEN BOTH MANIFOLD VALVES AND START THE VACUUM PUMP.
B.
EVACUATE THE LINE SET AND INDOOR UNIT TO AN
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
OF 23,000 MICRONS (29.01 INCHES OF MERCURY).
NOTE
- DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF EVACUATION, IT IS DESIRABLE TO CLOSE THE MANIFOLD GAUGE VALVE AT LEAST ONCE. A
RAPID RISE IN PRESSURE INDICATES A RELATIVELY LARGE LEAK. IF THIS OCCURS,
REPEAT THE LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE
.
NOTE
- THE TERM
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
REFERS TO THE TOTAL ACTUAL PRESSURE (ABOVE ABSOLUTE ZERO) WITHIN A GIVEN
VOLUME OR SYSTEM. ABSOLUTE PRESSURE IN A VACUUM IS EQUAL TO ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MINUS VACUUM PRESSURE.
C.
WHEN THE ABSOLUTE PRESSURE REACHES 23,000 MICRONS (29.01 INCHES OF MERCURY), CLOSE THE MANIFOLD GAUGE VALVES, TURN
OFF THE VACUUM PUMP AND DISCONNECT THE MANIFOLD GAUGE CENTER PORT HOSE FROM VACUUM PUMP. ATTACH THE MANIFOLD
CENTER PORT HOSE TO A DRY NITROGEN CYLINDER WITH PRESSURE REGULATOR SET TO 150 PSIG (1034 KPA) AND PURGE THE HOSE.
OPEN THE MANIFOLD GAUGE VALVES TO BREAK THE VACUUM IN THE LINE SET AND INDOOR UNIT. CLOSE THE MANIFOLD GAUGE VALVES.
D.
SHUT OFF THE DRY NITROGEN CYLINDER AND REMOVE THE MANIFOLD GAUGE HOSE FROM THE CYLINDER. OPEN THE MANIFOLD
GAUGE VALVES TO RELEASE THE DRY NITROGEN FROM THE LINE SET AND INDOOR UNIT.
E.
RECONNECT THE MANIFOLD GAUGE TO THE VACUUM PUMP, TURN THE PUMP ON, AND CONTINUE TO EVACUATE THE LINE SET AND IN
DOOR UNIT UNTIL THE ABSOLUTE PRESSURE DOES NOT RISE ABOVE 500 MICRONS (29.9 INCHES OF MERCURY) WITHIN A 20-MINUTE
PERIOD AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE VACUUM PUMP AND CLOSING THE MANIFOLD GAUGE VALVES.
F.
WHEN THE ABSOLUTE PRESSURE REQUIREMENT ABOVE HAS BEEN MET, DISCONNECT THE MANIFOLD HOSE FROM THE VACUUM PUMP
AND CONNECT IT TO AN UPRIGHT CYLINDER OF HFC-410A REFRIGERANT. OPEN THE MANIFOLD GAUGE VALVE 1 TO 2 PSIG IN ORDER TO
RELEASE THE VACUUM IN THE LINE SET AND INDOOR UNIT.

EVACUATE THE SYSTEM
1
.
Close manifold gauge valves.
2
.
Shut off HFC-410A cylinder.
3
.
Reinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core
tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.
4
.
Replace the stem caps and secure finger tight, then tighten an additional one-sixth (1/6) of a turn as illus
trated.
