Severe System Contamination
1. Remove the refrigerant charge.
2. Remove the compressor and inspect the
refrigeration lines. If burnout deposits are found,
install a new harvest valve, replace the manifold
strainer, TXV and harvest pressure regulating
valve.
3. Wipe away any burnout deposits from suction and
discharge lines at compressor.
4. Sweep through the open system with dry
nitrogen.
5. Install a new compressor and new start
components.

moisture removal capability. Place the filter drier
as close to the compressor as possible.

line drier.

Refrigerant sweeps are not recommended, as they
release CFCs into the atmosphere.
