Always operate the condenser and chilled water pumps during charging operations to

prevent freeze-ups. Use the Control Test Terminate Lockout to monitor conditions and start the

pumps.

If the machine has been shipped with a holding charge, the refrigerant will be added through

the refrigerant charging valve (

Figure 27

and

Figure 28

, valve 7) or to the pumpout charging

connection. First evacuate the nitrogen holding charge from the vessels. Charge the refrigerant

as a gas until the system pressure exceeds 68 psig (469 kPa) for HCFC-22; 35 psig (141 kPa)

for HFC-134a. After the machine is beyond this pressure the refrigerant should be charged as a

liquid until all of the recommended refrigerant charge has been added.
