To Read Refrigerant Pressures

during pumpout or leak testing:

1. The LID display on the machine control center is suitable for determining refrigerant-side

pressures and low (soft) vacuum. For evacuation or dehydration measurement, use a

quality vacuum indicator or manometer to ensure the desired range and accuracy. This can

be placed on the Schrader connections on each vessel (

Figure 7

and

Figure 8

) by removing

the pressure transducer.

2. To determine utility vessel pressure, a 30 in.-0-400 psi (-101-0-2760 kPa) gage is attached

to the vessel.

3. Refer to

Figure 32

for valve locations and numbers.

CAUTION

CAUTION

!

Transfer, addition, or removal of refrigerant in spring-isolated machines may
place severe stress on external piping if springs have not been blocked in both
up and down directions.
