10-5. EVACUATING

10-5-1. Evacuating

After the piping has been connected to the indoor unit,
you can perform vacuuming together at once.

Vacuuming

Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the
indoor unit using a vacuum pump. Do not use the
refrigerant in the outdoor unit. For details, see the
manual of the vacuum pump.

Using a vacuum pump

Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-flow
prevention function so that inside oil of the pump does
not flow backward into pipes of the air conditioner
when the pump stops.
(If oil inside of the vacuum pump enters the air
conditioner, which use R410A, refrigeration cycle
trouble may happen.)
1. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve
to the service port of the packed valve at gas side.
2. Connect the charge hose to the port of the vacuum
pump.
3. Open fully the low pressure side handle of the
gauge manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to start evacuating.
Perform evacuating for about 15 minutes if the
piping length is 66 feet (20 m). (15 minutes for
66 feet) (assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters
per minute) Then confirm that the compound
pressure gauge reading is -101 kPa (-76 cmHg).
5. Close the low pressure side valve handle of the
gauge manifold valve.
6. Open fully the valve stem of the packed valves
(both gas and liquid sides).
7. Remove the charging hose from the service port.
8. Securely tighten the caps on the packed valves.
