Procedure:
1). Connect the charge hose to the charging
cylinder, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way
valve.
Connect the charge hose which you disconnected
from the vacuum pump to the valve at the bottom
of the cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A, make
the cylinder bottom up to ensure the liquid charge.
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 purge
the air (be careful of the liquid refrigerant).
3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic
scale and record the weight.
4) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling mode.
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set
and charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
6).When the electronic scale displays the proper
weight (refer to the table), disconnect the charge
hose from the 3-way valve’s service port
immediately and turn off the air conditioner
7). Mount the valve stems nuts and the service port
cap.
Be sure to use a torque wrench to tighten the
service port cap to a torque 18N·m.
Be sure to check the gas leakage.
6.5 Adding the refrigerant after running
the system for many years
Procedure
1). Connect the charge hose to the 3-way service
port, open the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.
Connect the charge hose to the valve at the
bottom of the cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A,
make the cylinder bottom up to ensure liquid
charge.
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 purge
the air (be careful of the liquid refrigerant).
3) Put the charging cylinder onto the electronic
scale and record the weight.
4) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling mode.
5) Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set
and charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
6).When the electronic scale displays the proper
weight (refer to the gauge and the pressure of the
low side), disconnect the charge hose from the 3-
way valve’s service port immediately and turn off
the air conditioner before disconnecting the hose.
7). Mount the valve stem caps and the service port
Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap
to a torque of 18N.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
6.6 Re-installation while the indoor unit
need to be repaired
1. Collecting the refrigerant into the outdoor
unit
