Super Digital Inverter 6 AIR PURGING
Airtight test
Before starting an airtight test, further tighten the spindle
valves on the gas side and liquid side.
Pressurize the pipe with nitrogen gas charged from the
service port to the design pressure (4.15 MPa)
to conduct
the airtight test.
After the airtight test is completed, evacuate the nitrogen
gas.
Air Purge
 
With respect to the preservation of the terrestrial
environment, adopt “Vacuum pump” to purge air (Evacuate air in the connecting pipes) when installing the unit.
•Do not discharge the refrigerant gas to the atmosphere to
preserve the terrestr
ial environment.
•Use a vacuum pump to discharge the air (nitrogen, etc.)
that remains in the set. If air remains, the capacity may
decrease.
For the vacuum pump, be sure to use one with a backflow
preventer so that
the oil in the pump does not backflow into
the pipe of the air conditioner when the pump stops. (If oil in the vacuum pump is put in an air conditioner
including R410A, it may cause trouble
with the refrigeration
cycle.)
Vacuum pump *1
Use the vacuum pump, vacuum pump adapter, and gauge
manifold correctly referring to the manuals supplied with each
tool before using them.
Check that the vacuum pump oil is filled up to the specified line
of the oil gauge.
*2
When air is not charged, check again whether the connecting
port of the discharge hose, which has a projection to push the
valve core, is firmly connected to the charge port.

As shown in the figure, connect the charge hose after the
manifold valve is closed completely.
Attach the connecting port of the charge hose with a
projection to push the valve core (setting pin) to the charge
port
of the set.
Open Handle Low fully.
Turn ON the vacuum pump. (*1)
Loosen the flare nut of the packed valve (Gas side) a little to
check that the air passes through. (*2)
Retighten the flare nut.
Execute vacuuming unt
il the compound pressure gauge
indicates –101 kPa (–76 cmHg). (*1)
Close Handle Low completely.
Turn OFF the vacuum pump.
Leave the vacuum pump as it is for 1 or 2 minutes, and
check that the indicator of the compound pressure gauge
does
not return.
Open the valve stem or valve handle fully. (First, at liquid
side, then gas side)
Disconnect the charge hose from the charge port.
Tighten the valve and caps of the charge port securely
