    V. Removal and Replacement of Components Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. 1. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the sys- tem when replacing or servicing parts.
  • Page 27: Brazing

    5) Disconnect the vacuum pump, and attach a refrigerant service cylinder to the high-side line. Remember to loosen the connection, and purge the air from the hose. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
  • Page 28: Removal And Replacement Of Compressor

    3. Removal and Replacement of Compressor Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.

    12) Braze the process, suction and discharge lines (do not change this order), while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at the pressure 3-4 PSIG. 13) Install the new filter drier. 14) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG) and soap bubbles. 15) Connect the terminals, and replace the terminal cover in its correct position.
  • Page 30: Removal And Replacement Of Thermostatic Expansion Valve

    5. Removal and Replacement of Thermostatic Expansion Valve Sometimes moisture in the refrigerant circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
  • Page 31: Removal And Replacement Of Pressure Switch

    14) Place the new expansion valve cover in position. 15) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 16) Plug in the dispenser and turn on the power supply. 6.
