Pressure-Temperature Chart for HP62
This ice machine uses R-404A (HP62) refrigerant and polyolester oil. Do
NOT use mineral oil in this refrigeration system.
••
R-404A is a "Near Azeotrope" so liquid charging is required:
••
When the system is serviced, a special liquid line drier is required. It is
included with replacement compressors.
••
HP62 is not compatible with mineral oil, so these ice machines use
Polyolester oil. Polyolester oil absorbs water very easily. When one of
these refrigeration systems is opened for service, it must be re-sealed
as soon as possible (15 minutes maximum).
••
Special leak detection equipment is required to locate small refrigerant
leaks. Usually a leak detector capable of detecting a Halongenated
refrigerant or HFC-134a will work. Check with the leak detector
manufacturer if in doubt.
Access Valves: To use the access valves:
••
Remove the cap from the stem, use a 3/16" allen wrench to check
that the valve is CLOSED. The remove the core cap.
••
Close the valve and replace the caps when the job is finished.
The valve must be closed and the caps must be on or the
valve will leak.
