3. Evacuation
(All amount of refrigerant leaked)
• Procedure
(1) Connect the vacuum pump to the charge set’s
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

– 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.

Notice :
Temperature difference between intake and discharge air depends on room air humidity. When the room air
humidity is relativery higher, temperature difference is smaller. When the room air humidity is relatively lower
temperature difference is larger.
