CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS

Leak Testing During Operation

The refrigerant side of the system is carefully pressure
tested and evacuated at the factory.
After the system has been charged, the system should
be carefully leak tested with a R-134a compatible leak
detector to be sure all joints are tight.
If any leaks are indicated, they must be repaired im-
mediately. Usually, leaks can be stopped by tighten-
ing flare nuts or flange bolts. However, for any major
repair, the refrigerant charge must be removed. (See
Handling Refrigerant For Dismantling And Repairs on
page 76 in this Section.)
