Introduction
Charging the System
Units are leak tested at the factory and shipped with a nitrogen
holding charge. If the holding charge has been lost due to
shipping damage, charge the system with enough refrigerant to
raise the unit pressure to 30 psig after first repairing the leaks
and evacuating the system.
1
After all refrigerant piping is complete and the system is
evacuated, it can be charged as described in the paragraphs
following. Connect the refrigerant drum to the gauge port
on the liquid shutoff valve and purge the charging line
between the refrigerant cylinder and the valve. Then open
the valve to the mid position.
2
If the system is under a vacuum, stand the refrigerant drum
with the connection up, open the drum, and break the
vacuum with refrigerant gas.
3
With a system gas pressure higher than the equivalent of a
freezing temperature, invert the charging cylinder and
elevate the drum above the condenser. With the drum in
this position and the valves open, liquid refrigerant flows
into the condenser. Approximately 75% of the total
requirement estimated for the unit can be charged in this
manner.
4
After 75% of the required charge enters the condenser,
reconnect the refrigerant drum and charging line to the
suction side of the system. Again, purge the connecting
line, stand the drum with the connection side up, and place
the service valve in the open position.
Important: At this point, interrupt the charging procedure and
do prestart checks before attempting to complete the
refrigerant charge.
Note:
Stamp the total operating charge per circuit on the unit
nameplate for future reference.
Take special care to add refrigerant slowly enough to the
suction to prevent damage. Adjust the charging tank hand
valve so liquid leaves the tank but vapor enters the compressor.

CAUTION
Adding refrigerant to the suction always risks liquid-related
damage to the compressor.
