Installation For The First Time - Fisher FSAIF-Pro-95AE2 Service Manual

5.4 Installation for the first time

Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have
undesirable effects as below:
● Pressure in the system rises.
● Operating current rises.
● Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
● Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may
freeze and block capillary tubing.
● Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigerant system.
Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes
between indoor and outdoor units must be leak
tested and evacuated to remove gas and
moisture from the system.
Gas leak check (Soap water method):
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral
detergent on the indoor unit connections or
outdoor unit connections by a soft brush to
check for leakage of the connecting points of
the piping. If bubbles come out, the pipes have
leakage.
1. Air purging with vacuum pump
1) Completely tighten the flare nuts of the
indoor and outdoor units, confirm that both
the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the
closed position.
2) Connect the charge hose with the push pin
of handle lo to the 3-way valves gas service
port.
3) Connect the charge hose of handle hi
connection to the vacuum pump.
4) Fully open the handle Lo of the manifold
valve.
5) Operate the vacuum pump to evacuate.
6) Make evacuation for 30 minutes and check
whether the compound meter indicates
-0.1Mpa. If the meter does not indicate
-0.1Mpa after pumping 30 minutes, it
should be pumped 20 minutes more. If the
pressure can't
pumping 50 minutes, please check if there
are some leakage points.
Fully close the handle Lo valve of the manifold
valve and stop the operation of the vacuum
pump. Confirm that the gauge needle does not
move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off
the vacuum pump).
7) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves about
45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7seconds
after the gas
coming out, then tighten the flare nut again.
Make sure the pressure display in the pressure
indicator is a little higher than the atmosphere
pressure. Then remove the charge hose from
the 3 way valve.
8) Fully open the 2 way valve and 3 way valve
and securely tighten the cap of the 3 way
valve.
2.Adding the

Procedure:
1). Connect the charge hose to the charging
cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way
valve.
