‡ Do not place drain piping as indicated below:
‡ Both liquid and gas side service valves
on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this
stage.
‡ When relocate the unit to another place,

Step 11:Air Purging and Leakage Test
Air and moisture in the refrigeration system
haveundesirable effects as indicated below:
‡ System pressure increase.
‡ Operating current rise.

‡ Moisture in the refrigeration circuit may freeze
and block the capillary tubing.
‡ Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between
the indoor and outdoor units must be tested
for leakage and evacuated to remove any non-
condensables and moisture from the system.
‡ Preparation
Check that each tube (both liquid and gas
side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor
units have been properly connected and
all wiring for the test has been completed.
Remove the service valve caps from both gas
and liquid sides on the outdoor unit.
‡ For detailed data of pipe length and
refrigerant amount, please refer to page 6.
‡ Operation of opening stop valve:
Open the valve stem until it hits against the
stopper. Do not try to open it further.
‡ Operation of closing stop valve:
Securely tighten the valve stem with a
special tool. Then securely tighten the valve
stem cap with a spanner or the like.
