Condenser (Air Cooled) - Remcor SID350A/35S Operator's Manual

Condenser (air cooled)

The condenser should only have to be replaced if it has been physically damaged to the point that repair is not
practical. Use a fine comb to straighten bent/pushed-in areas. If replacement if necessary, the following equip-
ment is required: vacuum pump, refrigeration manifold with gauges, brazing equipment and various hand tools.
The replacement procedure has two steps: CABINET REMOVAL and CONDENSER REPLACEMENT.
