First evacuate the
system and then include the compressor in the evacuation process.
 Relieve the compressor pressure.
 Open the suction and pressure line shut-off valves.
 Evacuate the suction and discharge pressure sides using the vacuum pump.
 At the end of the evacuation process, the vacuum should be < 1.5 mbar when the pump is switched off.
	 Repeat	this	process	as	often	as	is	required.
Make sure that the suction and pressure line shut-off valves are open.
Filling	the	liquid	refrigerant:	It	is	recommended	that	the	system	first	be	filled	
at standstill with gas on the high-pressure side up to a system pressure of at 
least	5.2	bar	(if	it	is	filled	below	5.2	bar	with	liquid,	there	is	a	risk	of	dry	ice	
formation).	Further	filling	according	to	system.	
To eliminate the possibility of dry ice formation when the system is operating
(during	and	after	the	filling	process),	the	shut-off	point	of	the	low-pressure	
switch should be set to a value of at least 5.2 bar. 
•
A refrigerant supplement, which may become necessary after start-up, can be
topped up in vapour form on the suction side.
INFO!
Depending upon design of the CO
2
refrigerant filling bottle
(with/without tubing) CO
2
can be filled in liquid after weight or
gaseously.
Use only high-dried CO
2
quality!
ATTENTION!  Avoid overfilling the machine with refrigerant!
 
Do not charge liquid refrigerant into the suction-side on the
 compressor.
 
Do not mix additives with the oil and refrigerant.
WARNING! Never exceed the max. permissible pressures while charging.
Precautions	must	be	taken	in	time	(eg.	operating	auxiliary	conden-
sing unit for standstill pressure control or high pressure stage of 
the cascade).
CAUTION!
Wear personal protective clothing such as goggles and protective 
gloves!
