GAUGE SET
CONNECTIONS FOR TESTING AND CHARGING
A
Close manifold gauge set valves and
connect the center hose to a cylinder of
HFC-410A. Set
for
charging.
B
Connect the manifold gauge set's low
pressure side to the suction line service
port.
C
Connect the manifold gauge set's high
pressure side to the liquid line service
port.
D
Position temperature sensor on liquid
line near liquid line service port.
START: Determine how refrigerant is metered
