Expelling air
• Screw down the cap of both the gas shut-off valve
and the liquid shut-off valve as well as the nut of the
service port.
• Use an Allen wrench to turn the liquid shut-off valve
90° counterclockwise, and close it again after 10
seconds.
• Use soapy water to check for gas leakage, especially
at all joints. If there is no gas leakage, turn the liquid
shut-off valve 90° counter-clockwise again.
• Press the cork of the service port at the gas shut-off
valve. After 10 seconds, a foggy gas is discharged,
meaning the air inside has been expelled.
• Use an Allen wrench to turn both the liquid shut-off
valve and the gas shutoff valve counter-clockwise
until they are fully open and then replace the valve
caps and tighten them.
Expansion of the pipe orifice
• Use a pipe cutter to cut off the broken pipe orifice.
• Remove burrs at the cut of the pipe orifice.
• Insert a nut into the pipe and expand the orifice
with specified tools, reamers for example.
• Check the quality of expanding technique.
Adding refrigerant
• If the connecting pipe is longer than 7 metres, add refrigerant as needed. (Cool only type) added
amount A=(Lm-7m) x 15g/m; (Heat pump type) added amount A= (Lm-7m) x 50g/m. (A: amount of
added refrigerant, L: the length of connecting pipe)
