HVACR318 – Refrigeration II Diagrams
When These Steps are Complete… …Purge hoses and turn on recovery unit.
When the System is Empty… …Close off all gauge handles …Turn off rec unit …Close off cylinder valve
Triple Evacuate… …Connect white hose to vacuum pump.
Triple Evacuate… …Turn on vacuum pump, then open the vacuum pump access valve.
Open the Side Access Gauge Valves… …Let run until compound gauge shows deep vacuum. OPEN
Close Side Access Gauge Valves… …See if vacuum holds…if not, go longer.
When it Holds, (close the access valve on the v-pump)… …set up a cylinder to break the vacuum with refrigerant or nitrogen.
Once at 0 psi on Both Gauges… …Evacuate again.
When it Holds (close the access valve on the v-pump)… PURGE HOSE …set up a cylinder again to break the vacuum with refrigerant or nitrogen.
When at 0 psi on Both Gauges… …evacuate again.
Get System Back to a 500 Micron Vacuum… CLOSE …Close off all valves and v-pump handle before turning it off.
Open Front Access Valve on Gauges… …slowly crack thehigh side handle so liquid canflow into the high side (just break the vacuum).
When Ready to Turn on System… UPSIDE DOWN CYLINDER …Be sure high side gauge handle is closed…then turn on system.
When Ready to Turn on System… UPSIDE DOWN CYLINDER
Slowly Crack the Low Side Handle… UPSIDE DOWN CYLINDER …Using the ambient tempammeter, subcoolingand/or superheat…checkthe charge as you go. That’s it.
