A. Service for Refrigerant Lines
WARNING
1. Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by
properly trained and EPA-certied service personnel.
2. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
3. Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a
trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and
then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-134a
or R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
CAUTION
1. Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or
servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-134a and R-404A units
can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture
from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
2. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
3. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been
made. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the
refrigerant ow.
4. When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
1. Refrigerant Recovery
The unit is provided with refrigerant access valves. Using proper refrigerant practices
recover the refrigerant from the access valves and store it in an approved container. Do
not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
