TXV Replacement
Please follow the steps below when replacing TXV:
1. Disassemble the front panel.
2. Remove the thermal bulb down by undoing the insulation around it.
3. Remove the TXV off from the liquid pipe with a welding torch. Be
careful not to burn the liquid pipe.
4. Wrap the new TXV with a piece of wet cloth to prevent damage
caused by heat from being too hot and connect the nitrogen flow to the
liquid pipe to prevent it from being oxidized. Weld the TXV to the liquid
pipe, (solder must be 5% or more silver content) and pay attention to
the direction of the TXV, then weld the pressure pipe to the gas pipe.
5. When the pipe cools down, connect it with 550 PSI nitrogen
equipment and examine the work for any leaks.
6. Secure the thermal bulb to the suction pipe with insulation strips
and perform insulation works.
7. Evacuate the system and charge. Refer to refrigeration charging.
