AIR PURGING AND EVACUATION
22
ENGLISH
- When the desired vacuum is reached, close
the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve and stop
the vacuum pump.
Required time for evacuation when 30 gal/h
vacuum pump is used
If tubing length is
less than 10m (33 ft)
If tubing length is
longer than 10m (33
ft)
Less than 0.5 Torr Less than 0.5 Torr
- Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid
side service valves and fasten them tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.
- With a service valve wrench, turn the valve
stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to
fully open the valve.
- Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter-
clockwise to fully open the valve.
- Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas
side service port slightly to release the pressure,
then remove the hose.
- Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas
side service port and fasten the flare nut secure-
ly with an adjustable wrench. This process is
very important to prevent leakage from the sys-
tem.

WARNING
!
Use a vacuum pump or Inert (nitrogen)
gas when doing leakage test or air purge.
Do not compress air or Oxygen and do
not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it
may cause fire or explosion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or
explosion.
Evacuation
- Connect the charge hose end described in
the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to
evacuate the tubing and indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve
is open. Then, run the vacuum pump.
The operation time for evacuation varies with
tubing length and capacity of the pump. The
following table shows the time required for
evacuation.
