6. AIR PURGING

Air and moisture in the refrigerant system may have 
undesirable effects as indicated below.

pressure in the system rises

operating current rises

cooling (or heating) efficiency drops

moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block
capillary tubing

water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant
system

Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor
and outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to
remove any noncondensables and moisture from the 
system.

Air Purging with a Vacuum Pump (for Test Run)
Preparation

Check that each tube (both liquid and gas tubes) between

the indoor and outdoor units has been properly connected

and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove

the valve caps from both the gas tube and liquid tube 

service valves on the outdoor unit. Note that both liquid and

gas tube service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed

at this stage.

Leak test 

(1) Attach a manifold valve (with pressure gauges) and dry

nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge

hoses.

(2) Pressurize the system to no more than 

512 psig (36 kgf/cm

2

G) with dry nitrogen gas and close

the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reaches 

512 psig (36 kgf/cm

2

G).Then, test for leaks with liquid

soap.

CAUTION

Fig. 6-3

Use a manifold valve for air 

purging. If it is not available, use 

a stop valve for this purpose. The

“Hi” knob of the manifold valve

must always be kept closed.

To avoid nitrogen entering the

refrigerant system in a liquid state,

the top of the cylinder must be

higher than the bottom when you

pressurize the system. Usually, the

cylinder is used in a vertical 

standing position. (Refer to the

previous page.)
