REFRIGERATION SERVICE: R-404a
THIS ICE MACHINE USES R-404a (HP62)
REFRIGERANT AND POLYOLESTER
COMPRESSOR OIL.
DO NOT USE MINERAL OIL IN THIS
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM.
••
HP62 is a "Near Azeotrope", and therefore
liquid charging is preferred.
••
When the system is serviced, a special liquid
line dryer is required.
••
Polyolester oil absorbs water very easily, and
therefore when the system 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 Halogenated
refrigerant or HFC-134A will work. Check with
the leak detector manufacturer if in doubt.
••
As with any other refrigerant, do NOT mix HP62
with pressurized air when leak testing.
