AIR CONDITIONER WITH PURON® (R-410A)—QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Puron® refrigerant operates at 50%-70% higher pressures than R-22. Be sure that servicing equipment and replacement components are designed
to operate with Puron.

•

Puron refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.

•

Puron refrigerant cylinders manufactured prior to March 1, 1999, have a dip tube that allows liquid to flow out of cylinder in upright position.
Cylinders manufactured March 1, 1999 and later DO NOT have a dip tube and MUST be positioned upside down to allow liquid to flow.

•

Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.

•

Puron systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold hose.

•

Manifold sets should be 750 psig high-side and 200 psig low-side with 520 psig low-side retard.

•

Use hoses with 750 psig service pressure rating.

•

Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.

•

Puron, as with other HFCs, is only compatible with POE oils.

•

Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.

•

Only use factory specified liquid-line filter driers with rated working pressures no less than 600 psig.

•

Do not install a suction-line filter drier in liquid-line.

•

POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.

•

POE oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.

•

Wrap all filter driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.

•

A Puron liquid-line filter drier is required on every unit.

•

Do not use an R-22 TXV.

•

Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.

•

When system must be opened for service, break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace filter driers.

•

Always replace filter drier after opening system for service.

•

Do not vent Puron into the atmosphere.

•

Observe all warnings, cautions, and bold text.

•

Do not leave Puron suction line driers in place for more than 72 hours.
