2) Balance refrigerant of the 3-way valve
(Gas leakage)
• Procedure
(1) Confirm that both the liquid side and gas side
valves are set to the back seat.
(2) Connect the charge set to the 3-way valve’s
port.
– Leave the valve on the charge set closed.
– Connect the charge hose to the service port.
– Leave the valve on the charge set closed.

2. Evacuation
(All amount of refrigerant leaked)
• Procedure
(1) Connect the vacuum pump to the center hose
of charge set center hose
(2) Evacuation for approximately one hour.
– Confirm that the gauge needle has moved
toward -76 cmHg (vacuum of 4 mmHg or less).
(3) Close the valve (Lo side) on the charge set,
turn off the vacuum pump, and confirm that
the gauge needle does not move (approxima-
tely 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum
pump).

(2) Purge the air from the charge hose.
– Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder
and press the check valve on the charge set to
purge the air. (Be careful of the liquid
refrigerant). The procedure is the same if
using a gas cylinder.

(5) Mount the valve stem nuts and the service
port nut.
– Use torque wrench to tighten the service port
– Use torque wrench to tighten the service port
nut to a torque of 1.8 kg.m.
– Be sure to check for gas leakage.

This is different from previous procedures.
Because you are charging with liquid refrigerant
from the gas side, absolutely do not attempt to
charge with larger amounts of liquid refrigerant
while operating the air conditioner.

• Installation
(1) Connect the piping between the indoor and

(2) Attach the charging hose (manifold gage) to the
service port.

– Charging hose is necessary to check the pressure
and to inject R22 for leakage test.
– The valve of charging hose must be closed before
being connected.
(3) Inject the 100~300g R22 through the charging hose
opening the valve.
(4) Check the joint part using a gas detector or soapy
water for leakage.
– On checking, the service valve of main service port
