Section 2 Installation Instructions
Part No. 80-1214-3 2-15
Step 5 Pressure Test and Evacuate The Line Set
and Remote Condensing Unit
Schrader valve core removal tools that allow for removal
and installation of the valve cores without removing
manifold gauge set hoses are recommended to
decrease the evacuation time.
Leave the line set shut off valves closed (front seated).
Pressure test the line sets and remote condensing unit
with 150 psig of dry nitrogen. Add nitrogen at the line set
shut off valves located at the back of the ice machine.
Complete the pressure test, verify no leaks are present
and remove the nitrogen from the system before
connecting the vacuum pump. Connect a vacuum pump
to both of the line set shut off valves located at the back
of the ice machine head section. Evacuate to 500
microns (or less). To completely evacuate the Remote
condensing unit, continue the evacuation for 30 minutes
after reaching the 500 micron point.
If required, the line set and condensing unit can be
evacuated from the schrader valves located in the
remote condensing unit. Schrader valve core removal
tools (that allow for putting the cores back in without
removing vacuum pump hoses) must be used if
evacuating from the condensing unit side.
Isolate the vacuum pump from the line set shut off valves
and/or condensing unit access ports prior to proceeding.
Open refrigeration system shut off valves.
The suction line, liquid line and receiver service valves
are closed during shipment and installation.
Step 6 Open The Valves Prior To Starting The Ice
Machine.
A. Slowly backseat (open-turn counterclockwise)
the suction line shut off valve.
B. Slowly backseat (open-turn counterclockwise)
the liquid line shut off valve.
C. Slowly backseat (open-turn counterclockwise)
the receiver service valve.
