CHARGING PROCEDURE - HIGH SIDE
MD50 2 Valve Manifold [FIG.26]
MD100 4 Valve Manifold [FIG.27]
1.) A scale should be used to weigh in the charge. Place tank on scale so liquid refrigerant is supplied.
2.) Open Supply tank valve to fill manifold with liquid refrigerant.
3.) Set scale to record charge amount.
4.) Open High Side Valve (B). Monitor weight reading.
5.) Once desired charge amount has been reached, close High Side Valve (B) and supply tank valve.
6.) Start refrigeration system. Open Low Side valve (A) to allow all remaining refrigerant in manifold and
service hoses to charge into system.
7.) Close Low Side Valve (A).
7.) Close Low Side Valve (A) and Valve (C).
8.) Monitor Low and High Side pressures. Superheat and subcooling features of manifold can be used at this time.
9.) Disconnect service hoses from equipment. Use Caution as all hoses are under pressure.
Once charge is complete, an electronic refrigerant leak detector should be used to confirm leaks do not exist.
High Side Charging should be done on a completely evacuated system.
