SYSTEM VACUUM AND CHARGE
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper
operation.
Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump.
Refrigerant pipes and indoor unit coils should be evacuated using the recommended 500 microns deep vacuum method. The alternate triple evacuation method may be used if the following procedure is followed. Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen.
NOTE: All units (except the 18,000 BTU model) have a Master Suction and Liquid Line Service Valve.
Using Vacuum Pump
- Completely tighten the flare nuts of the liquid and gas pipes on the indoor and outdoor side (for all fan coils) (see Fig 16).
FIGURE 16 – Service Valves
-
For size 18, DO NOT open the Gas or Liquid service valves until the evacuation is complete.
For sizes 27-36 fully open all the connected Individual Service Valves (with the line set attached). DO NOT open the Master Service Valves until the evacuation is complete (see Fig. 18).
For size 18, connect the manifold gauge (low side hose) to the Individual Service Valve (5/16 in. port, use the adapter to fit a 1/4 in. hose) to evacuate each of the circuits.
For sizes 27−36, connect the manifold gauge (low side hose) to the Master service valve (5/16 in port, use the adapter to fit a 1/4 in. hose) to evacuate all circuits at the same time (see Fig. 20). -
Connect the charge hose to the vacuum pump (see Fig. 16).
-
Open (fully) the low pressure valve of the manifold gauge (see Fig. 19 for size 18. Fig. 20 for sizes 27−36).
-
Start the vacuum pump.
-
Evacuate using either the deep vacuum or the triple evacuation method (see Fig. 21 and 22).
-
After the evacuation is complete, fully close the low pressure valve of the manifold gauge and stop the vacuum pump operation.
-
Insert a hexagonal wrench into each Gas Side Service Valve for size 18 or into the Master Gas Side Service Valve for sizes 27−36 and open the valve by turning the wrench 1/4 in. counterclockwise. Listen for gas to exit the system (see Fig. 17).
**FIGURE 17- Service Valve Diagram
-
Reference Table 5 when additional charge is needed.
-
Disconnect the charge hoses and manifold gauge.
-
Using a hexagonal wrench, fully open all the gas and liquid service valves for the size 18 and all the Master Gas and Liquid service valves for sizes 27−36 (see Fig. 17).
FIGURE 18 – Service Valves Sizes 27-36 NOTE:
The Master valve utilizes a 5/16 in. port.
FIGURE 19 – Manifold Gauge
FIGURE 20 – Manifold Sizes 27-36
Deep Vacuum Method
The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump capable of pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a vacuum gauge capable of accurately measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum method is the most positive way of assuring a system is free of air and liquid water (see Fig. 21).
FIGURE 21 – Deep Vacuum
Graph Triple Evacuation Method
The triple evacuation is the recommended method of dehydration. Refer to Fig. 22 and proceed as follows:
- Pump the system down to 1500 microns and allow the pump to continue operating for an additional 15 minutes.
- Close the service valves and shut off the vacuum pump.
- Connect a dry nitrogen cylinder and regulator to the system and break vacuum until the system reaches 2 psig.
- Close the service valve and allow the system to stand for 1 hr. During this time, the dry nitrogen can diffuse throughout the system absorbing moisture.
- Pump the system down to 1000 microns.
- Break the vacuum with dry nitrogen (2 psig).
- Pump the system down to 500 microns.
- Perform the hold test for 30 minutes.
