1. Preparation for attachment of the service piping 1) To front seat service valves, turn the stem of the high pressure and low pressure service valves clockwise as far as possible. Access port is closed Front seated positon Turn the stem fully clockwise 2) Attach a packing to the service piping (2 places).

1. Evacuation mode In the evacuation mode, fully open the electronic expansion valve and solenoid valve in the refrigeration unit. If the refrigeration unit is not set to the evacuation mode, the electronic expansion valve and solenoid valve in the unit do not open, thus leading to incomplete the evacuation. Evacuation mode procedure Turn OFF the ground fault interrupter.

1. Preparation for refrigerant releasing 1) Check that the access ports of the high pressure and low pressure service valve have been closed. (The front seated position) 2) Attach the service piping with the joint valve in "Closed" condition. 3) Fasten the nuts by hand up to the condition shown below, and then fasten them with a tool. Fastening torque of 13 1N m is recommended for the nuts.

2. CO refrigerant grade Charge CO refrigerant (R744) that is compatible with the following specifications. Purity > 99.9% (volume) Moisture < 0.005% (volume) Total sulfur < 0.03ppm (weight) Inert gas (H , Ar) < 0.01% (volume) 3. Refrigerant Charging 1) With the refrigeration unit being stopped, open the joint valve and gradually charge the refrigeration unit with refrigerant in the liquid state.

Preparation for compressor replacement Release refrigerant in accordance with “Refrigerant Releasing Procedure”. Remove the heat insulation material of the 1st stage suction pipe (cut out bundling ties). Remove the temperature sensor of the 2nd stage discharge pipe. Remove the compressor securing bolts (3 places). Turn OFF the ground fault interrupter, when the pressure indication on reaches zero and the refrigerant release sound is no longer heard.
Page 15
2. Compressor removal 1) After completing the preparation for compressor replacement, cut the compressor piping at five places (1st stage suction, 1st stage discharge, 2nd stage suction, 2nd stage discharge, and oil return) by using a pipe cutter or cable cutter. The cutting position should be on the compressor side of the welded part as follows.

Compressor Replacement Procedure Caution For safety purposes, always wear protective gear during operations. 3. Service compressor installation 1) Place the service compressor in its original position, and install the securing bolt, spring washer, flat washer, and protection rubber washer, etc. (three places) Note: 1. Incorrect attachment may cause excessive vibration and lead to a piping breakage failure.

fill Caution In principle, there is no need for adding oil to the refrigeration unit. However, if such an operation is required when moving the refrigeration unit or for other reasons, then comply with the following procedure. (Any failure of a refrigeration unit resulting from moving is not covered by the warranty.) 1.
