6.3 Pressure Test & Evacuation
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.
● Refrigerant lines and indoor coil should be evacuated using the recommended deep vacuum
method of 500 microns. The alternate triple evacuation method may be used if the procedure
outlined is followed.
