2) Air purging with vacuum pump
1. Preparation
■
Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes)
between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly
connected and all wiring for the test run has been com-
pleted. Remove the service valve caps from both the gas
and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Note that both the
liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit
are kept closed at this stage.

Pressurize the system to no more than 150
P.S.I.G. with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylin-
der valve when the gauge reading reached 150
P.S.I.G. Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.

After the system is found to be free of leaks,
relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the
charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder.
When the system pressure is reduced to normal,
disconnect the hose from the cylinder.

Be sure to use a manifold valve for air purging.
If it is not available, use a stop valve for this purpose.
The "Hi" knob of the manifold valve must always be
kept close.

To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in
a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher
than its bottom when you pressurize the system.
Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing
position.
