6.5.5 To perform vacuum drying
1 Vacuum the system until the pressure on the manifold indicates
−0.1 MPa (−1 bar).
2 Leave as is for 4­5 minutes and check the pressure:
If the pressure...
Does not change
Increases
3 Evacuate for at least 2 hours to a pressure on the manifold of
−0.1 MPa (−1 bar).
4 After turning OFF the pump, check the pressure for at least
1 hour.
5 If you do NOT reach the target vacuum or cannot maintain the
vacuum for 1 hour, do the following:
▪ Check for leaks again.
▪ Perform vacuum drying again.
NOTICE
Make sure to open the stop valves after installing the
refrigerant piping and performing vacuum drying. Running
the system with the stop valves closed may break the
compressor.
6.6 Charging refrigerant
6.6.1 About charging refrigerant
The outdoor unit is factory charged with refrigerant, but in some
cases the following might be necessary:
What
Charging additional refrigerant
Completely recharging refrigerant Example:
Charging additional refrigerant
Before charging additional refrigerant, make sure the outdoor unit's
external refrigerant piping is checked (leak test, vacuum drying).
INFORMATION
Depending on the units and/or the installation conditions, it
might be necessary to connect electrical wiring before you
can charge refrigerant.
Typical workflow – Charging additional refrigerant typically consists
of the following stages:
1 Determining if and how much you have to charge additionally.
2 If necessary, charging additional refrigerant.
3 Filling in the fluorinated greenhouse gases label, and fixing it to
the inside of the outdoor unit.

When
When the total liquid piping
length is more than specified
(see later).
▪ When relocating the system.
▪ After a leak.
Completely recharging refrigerant
Before completely recharging refrigerant, make sure the following is
done:
1 The system is pumped down.
2 The outdoor unit's external refrigerant piping is checked (leak
test, vacuum drying).
3 Vacuum drying on the outdoor unit's internal refrigerant piping is
performed.
NOTICE
Before completely recharging, perform vacuum drying on
the outdoor unit's internal refrigerant piping as well. To do
so, use the internal service port of the outdoor unit
(between the heat exchanger and the 4­way valve). Do
NOT use the service ports of the stop valves, because
vacuum drying cannot be performed properly from these
ports.
WARNING
Some sections of the refrigerant circuit may be isolated
from other sections caused by components with specific
functions (e.g. valves). The refrigerant circuit therefore
features additional service ports for vacuuming, pressure
relief or pressurizing the circuit.
In case it is required to perform brazing on the unit, ensure
that there is no pressure remaining inside the unit. Internal
pressures need to be released with ALL the service ports
indicated on the figures below opened. The location is
depending on model type.
