NOTICE
Do NOT exceed the unit's maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate).
NOTICE
ALWAYS use a recommended bubble test solution from your wholesaler.
NEVER use soap water:
▪
Soap water may cause cracking of components, such as flare nuts or stop valve
caps.
▪
Soap water may contain salt, which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the
piping gets cold.
▪
Soap water contains ammonia which may lead to corrosion of flared joints
(between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
1 Charge the system with nitrogen gas up to a gauge pressure of at least
200 kPa (2 bar). It is recommended to pressurize to 3000 kPa (30 bar) in order
to detect small leaks.
2 Check for leaks by applying the bubble test solution to all connections.
3 Discharge all nitrogen gas.
Connect the vacuum pump and manifold as follows:

a Pressure meter
b Gauge manifold
c Low pressure valve (Lo)
d High-pressure valve (Hi)
e Charging hoses
f Vacuum pump
g Service port
h Valve lids
i Gas stop valve
j Liquid stop valve
1 Vacuum the system until the pressure on the manifold indicates −0.1 MPa
(−1 bar).
2 Leave as is for 4-5 minutes and check the pressure:

There is no moisture in the system.
This procedure is finished.
