3. Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and
discharge the refrigerant until the gauge indicates 0.5
2
to 1 kg/cm G (0.05 to 0.1 MPa) .
• If there is no air in the refrigeration cycle [ the pressure
when the air conditioner is not running is higher than 1
2
kg/cm G (0.1 MPa) ], discharge the refrigerant until the
gauge indicates 0.5 to 1 kg/cm
this is the case, it will not be necessary to apply a
