PURON® (R–410A) QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

• Puron® refrigerant operates at 50-70 percent higher pressures than R-22. Be sure that servicing equipment and replacement

components are designed to operate with Puron®

• Puron® refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.

• Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.

• Puron® systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold hose when

charging into suction line with compressor operating

• Manifold sets should be 700 psig high side and 180 psig low side with 550 psig low-side retard. • Use hoses with 700 psig

service pressure rating.

• Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.

• Puron®, as with other HFCs, is only compatible with POE oils.

• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.

• Do not use liquid-line filter driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.

• Do not leave Puron® suction line filter driers in line longer than 72 hours.

• Do not install a suction-line filter drier in liquid line.

• POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.

• POE Oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.

• Wrap all filter driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.

• A factory approved liquid-line filter drier is required on every unit.

• Do NOT use an R-22 TXV.

• If indoor unit is equipped with an R-22 TXV, it must be changed to a Puron® TXV.

• Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.

• When system must be opened for service, recover refrigerant, evacuate then break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace filter

driers. Evacuate to 500 microns prior to recharging.

• Do not vent Puron® into the atmosphere.

• Do not use capillary tube coils.

• Observe all warnings, cautions, and bold text.
