3). Air purging of the charge hose
Open the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve slightly to purge air from the charge hose for 5 seconds
and then close it quickly.
4). Set the 2-way valve to the close position
5). Operate the air conditioner at the cooling cycle and stop it when the gauge indicates 0.1MPa.
6). Set the 3-way valve to the closed position immediately.
Do this quickly so that the gauge ends up indicating 0.3 to 0.5Mpa.
Disconnect the charge set, and tighten the 2-way and 3-way valve’s stem nuts.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the 3-way valves service port cap to a torque of 1.8 kgf.m.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
2. Air purging by refrigerant
Procedure:
1). Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the closed position.
2). Connect the charge set and a charging cylinder to the service port of the 3-way valve.
3). Air purging.
Open the valves on the charging cylinder and the charge set. Purge the air by loosening the flare nut on
the 2-way valve approximately 45’ for 3 seconds then closing it for 1 minute; repeat 3 times.
After purging the air, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut on the 2-way valve.
