Airtight test
Evacuation
Airtight test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3Mpa.
For the test method, refer to the following figure.
(Make a test with the valve closed. Be also sure to pressurize both liquid and gas pipe.)
The test result can be judged good if the pressure has not been reduced after leaving
for about one day after completion of nitrogen pressurization.
Evacuation should be made from the service port provided on the outdoor unit’s valve to
the vacuum pump commonly used for both liquid pipe and gas pipe.
(Make evacuation from both liquid pipe and gas pipe with valve closed.)
Remember :Never carry out air purge by refrigerant.
