2.Vacuum Dry and Leakage Checking

2.1 Vacuum Dry: use vacuum pump to change the moisture (liquid) into steam (gas) in the pipe
and discharge it out of the pipe to make the pipe dry. Under one atmospheric pressure,
the boiling point of water(steam temperature) is 100℃. Use vacuum pump to make the
pressure in the pipe near vacuum state, the boiling point of water falls relatively. When it
falls under outdoor temperature, the moisture in the pipe will be vaporized.
2.2 Vacuum dry procedure
There are two methods of vacuum dry due to different construction environment: common
vacuum dry, special vacuum dry.
①. Common vacuum dry procedure

Vacuum dry (for the first time)---connect the all-purpose detector to the inlet of liquid pipe
and gas pipe, and run the vacuum pump more than two hours (the vacuum pump should
be below -755mmHg)

If the pump can't achieve below -755mmHg after pumping 2 hours, moisture or leakage
point will still exist in the pipe. At this time, it should be pumped 1 hour more.

If the pump can't achieve -755mmHg after pumping 3 hours, please check if there are
some leakage points.

Vacuum placement test: place 1 hour when it achieves -755mmHg, pass if the vacuum
watch shows no rising. If it rises, it shows there's moisture or leakage point.

Vacuuming from liquid pipe and gas pipe at the same time.
