To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, fl are processing dimensions and opposite side dimension of fl are nut (For Ø12.7 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.
3-4. Recharging of Refrigerant When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specifi ed amount of new refrigerant according to the following steps. Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant remains in the equipment. When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated –0.1 Mpa (–76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s power switch.
1. Be sure to make setting so that liquid can be charged. 2. When using a cylinder equipped with a siphon, liquid can be charged without turning it upside down. It is necessary for charging refrigerant under condition of liquid because R410A is mixed type of refrigerant. Accordingly, when charging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, charge it turning the cylinder upside down if cylinder is not equipped with siphon.
