VACUUM TESTING
After the pressure test has been completed, the vacuum
test should be conducted as follows:
1. Connect a high capacity vacuum pump, with in-
dicator, to the system charging valve as shown in
Figure 9 on page 39 and start the pump. (See
Vacuum Dehydration on page 41
.)
2. Open wide all system valves. Be sure all valves to
the atmosphere are closed.
3. Operate the vacuum pump in accordance with
VACUUM DEHYDRATION until a wet bulb
temperature of +32°F or a pressure of 5 mm Hg
is reached. See Table 2 on page 40 for corre-
sponding values of pressure.
4. To improve evacuation circulate hot water (not
to exceed 125°F, 51.7ºC) through the evaporator
and condenser tubes to thoroughly dehydrate the
shells. If a source of hot water is not readily avail-
able, a portable water heater should be employed.
DO NOT USE STEAM
. A suggested method is
to connect a hose between the source of hot water
under pressure and the evaporator head drain con-
nection, out the evaporator vent connection, into
the condenser head drain and out the condenser
vent. To avoid the possibility of causing leaks, the
temperature should be brought up slowly so that
the tubes and shell are heated evenly.
5. Close the system charging valve and the stop
valve between the vacuum indicator and the vac-
uum pump. Then disconnect the vacuum pump
leaving the vacuum indicator in place.
6. Hold the vacuum obtained in Step 3 in the system
for 8 hours; the slightest rise in pressure indicates
a leak or the presence of moisture, or both. If, after
24 hours the wet bulb temperature in the vacuum
indicator has not risen above 40°F (4.4°C) or a
pressure of 6.3 mm Hg, the system may be con-
sidered tight.
Be sure the vacuum indicator is valved off
while holding the system vacuum and be
sure to open the valve between the vacuum
indicator and the system when checking
the vacuum after the 8 hour period..
7. If the vacuum does not hold for 8 hours within the
limits specified in Step 6 above, the leak must be
found and repaired.
