REFRIGERATION SERVICE: R-404A (HP62)
THIS ICE MACHINE USES HP62 REFRIGERANT
AND POLYOLESTER COMPRESSOR OIL.
DO NOT USE MINERAL OIL IN THIS
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM.
·
R-404A is a “Near Azeotrope”, and therefore
liquid charging is required.
Weigh into the discharge side as much as
possible of the charge as liquid refrigerant.
Install a sight glass between the manifold
and the suction side hose. Carefully meter
liquid refrigerant into the suction side, using
the manifold valve to “flash off” the liquid
before it enters the ice machine. Do this until
the proper charge has been weighed into the
system.
·
When the system is serviced, a special liquid
line dryer is required.
·
Polyolester oil absorbs water very easily, and
therefore when the system is opened for
service, it must be re-sealed as soon as
possible (15 minutes maximum).
·
Special leak detection equipment is required to
locate small refrigerant leaks. Usually a leak
detector capable of detecting a Halogenated
refrigerant or HFC-134A will work. Check with
the leak detector manufacturer if in doubt.
·
As with any other refrigerant, do NOT mix HP62
with pressurized air when leak testing.
