7.3 Checking the refrigerant piping
7.3.1 About checking the refrigerant piping
The outdoor unit's internal refrigerant piping has been factory tested for leaks. You
only have to check the outdoor unit's external refrigerant piping.
Before checking the refrigerant piping
Make sure the refrigerant piping is connected between the outdoor unit and the
indoor unit.
Typical workflow
Checking the refrigerant piping typically consists of the following stages:
1 Checking for leaks in the refrigerant piping.
2 Performing vacuum drying to remove all moisture, air or nitrogen from the
refrigerant piping.
If there is a possibility of moisture being present in the refrigerant piping (for
example, water may have entered the piping), first carry out the vacuum drying
procedure below until all moisture has been removed.
