Leak Test And Vacuum Drying - Daikin VRV II Series Design, Installation & Testing Instructions

Si39-303
6.4 Leak test
The units were checked for leaks by the manufacturer.
Confirm that the valves are firmly closed before pressure test or vacuuming.
To prevent entry of any impurities and insure sufficient pressure resistance, always use the
special tools dedicated for R410A.

Notes: Make sure to perform airtightness test and vacuum drying using the service ports of the shutoff
valve shown in the table on the bellow.

and Vacuum Drying
Air tight test: Make sure to use nitrogen gas.
(For the service port location, refer to the "Caution" label attached on the front panel [right] of
the outdoor unit.)
Pressurize the liquid and gas pipes to 3.8MPa (38bar) (do not pressurize more than 3.8MPa
(38bar)). If the pressure does not drop within 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the
pressure drops, check where the nitrogen leaks from.
Vacuum drying: Use a vacuum pump which can evacuate to –100.7kPa (5Torr, –
755mmHg).
1. Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas pipes by using a vacuum pump for more
than 2 hours and bring the system to
–100.7kPa. After keeping the system under that condition for more than 1 hour, check if
the vacuum gauge rises or not. If it rises, the system may either contain moisture inside or
have leaks.
2. Following should be executed if there is a possibility of moisture remaining inside the pipe
(if piping work is carried out during the raining season or over a long period of time
rainwater may enter the pipe during work).
After evacuating the system for 2 hours, pressurize the system to 0.05MPa (vacuum
break) with nitrogen gas and evacuate the system again using the vacuum pump for 1
hour to
–100.7kPa (vacuum drying). If the system cannot be evacuated to –100.7kPa within 2
hours, repeat the operation of vacuum break and vacuum drying.
Then, after leaving the system in vacuum for 1 hour, confirm that the vacuum gauge does
not rise.
