Atlantic Alfea Extensa A.I. User Manual

3.4 Filling the installation with gas
" This operation is reserved for installers familiar with the legislation for handling refrigerants.
" Creating a vacuum with a calibrated vacuum pump is essential (see APPENDIX 1).
" Never use equipment used previously with any refrigerant other than a HFC.
" Only remove the refrigeration circuit caps when performing the refrigeration connections.
APPENDIX 2
Triple Evacuation Method
- Connect the Manifold high-pressure hose to the
lling hole (gas connection). A valve must be tted
to the vacuum pump's hose so you can shut it o󰀨.
a) Create a vacuum until the desired value is
reached and maintain this value for 30 mins
(see table in APPENDIX 1),

d) Repeat this operation at least three times.
" Remember: performing these operations
using refrigerant is strictly prohibited.
" If the outdoor temperature is below +10°C:
- You must use the triple evacuation method
(see APPENDIX 2).
- We recommend installing a dehydrator lter
(and this is highly recommended if the outdoor
temperature is below +5°C).
APPENDIX 1
Method for calibrating and checking a vacuum
pump
- Check the vacuum pump's oil level.
- Connect the vacuum pump
to the vacuum gauge as
shown in the diagram.
- Pump down for 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, the pump
reaches its threshold vacuum limit and the vacuum
gauge's needle stops moving.
- Compare the obtained pressure value against the
table of values. Depending on the temperature, this
pressure should be lower than that shown in the
table.
=> If this is not the case, replace the gasket, hose
or pump.
