AIR RECHARGING IN COMPRESSOR
Test the refrigeration system by connecting it electrically
before refilling operation. This is necessary to ascertain the
function of the motor-compressor and identify the defects
immediately. If the defects have been found, empty the old
system of eventual R134a residue by breaking off the end
of the extension piece at its narrow point. (Figure 1)
Replace the filter and any damaged components. Unsolder
and pull off the piece remaining inside the service tube and
then attach an extension completely with male Hansen and
last, solder it to the same tube again. (Figure 2)
It is necessary to execute the soldering operation with
valve open so that the fumes caused by oil residue can
come out freely without blowholes between two tubes
during heating the point to be soldered.
The extension fitted with the male Hansen is connected to
the female fitting of the vacuum pump tube. (Figure 3)
Air evacuating from the system begins as soon as the
pump starts. The refrigeration system must be kept under
vacuum until the reading on the low-pressure gauge
indicates vacuum (0 absolute, -1 atm., -760 mm Hg) in any
case it is advisable to keep the pump running for about
60 minutes. (Figure 4)
