1. Pump down the unit per paragraph 6.4.
2. Removecushionclamps located on the inlet andout-
let lines.
3. Unbrazethe equalizer connection (if applicable), the
outlet connection and then the inlet connection.
4. Remove insulation (Presstite) from expansion valve
bulb.
5. Unstrap thebulb, located belowthe centerof the suc-
tion line (4 o’clock position), and remove the valve.
b. Installing the Expansion Valve
1. C l ean the suction line with sandpaper before instal-
ling bulb to ensure proper heat transfer. Apply t her-
mal grease to the indentation in the suction line.
2. Strap the thermal bulb to the suction line, making
sure bulb is placed firmly into the suction line. See
Figure 6-10 for bulb placement.
3. Insulate the thermal bulb.
4. The economizer expansion valves should be
wrapped in a soaked cloth for brazing. See
Figure 6-12. Braze inlet connection t o inlet line
5. Braze outlet connection to outlet line.
6. Reinstall the cushion clamps on inlet and outlet
lines.
7. If applicable, braze the equalizer connection to the
equalizer line.
8. Check superheat (refer to step 6.14.1).
