Machine Tightness

— If machine leak testing and

dehydration was not completed at installation,
check machine tightness (including pumpout sys­
tem) as described below. Dehydration must be
repeated if machine has been idle for several weeks
after initial dehydration.

Check for Large Leaks

— Using one of the methods

described below, pressurize the machine to the
level listed in Table 1. Do not exceed test pressure
Listen for large leaks as the pressure builds up. If
test pressure holds for one hour, proceed with
Check for Small Leaks.

All 19CB machines may be pressurized with

cylinders of dry air or nitrogen thni the cooler
charging valve. Dry air or nitrogen charging is
preferable to purge or pumpout charging as it

ensures that moisture will not be introduced into the
machine. To pressurize with nitrogen (or dry air):

1. Connect a copper tube from charging valve to

pressure cylinder. Never apply full cylinder
pressure to the pressurizing line. Follow steps 2
thru 5 in proper sequence.

2. Open cooler charging valve fully.
3. Open cylinder regulating valve slowly.

4 Observe cooler or condenser pressure gage and

close cylinder regulating valve when pressure

reaches test pressure listed in Table 1.

Do not exceed test pressure!

5. Close cooler charging valve. Remove copper

tube.

R-11 machines may be pressurized with the

purge pump. Ensure that electrical supply to purge
pump is 120 volts. Then follow Operation 3 on the
purge valve chart.

R-1 14 machines may be pressurized with the

pumpout unit This method is detailed in the
section entitled Pumpout Procedures.

Check for Small Leaks

1. Pull a vacuum equal to 5 in. Hg (12 5 psia) by

using purge pump Operation 2

(R-11

machines), pumpout unit (R-114 machines) or
by applying a vacuum pump at the cooler

charging valve.

2. Charge approximately 25 pounds of the proper

refrigerant thru the cooler cliarging valve.
Pressurize machine to test pressure (Table 1)
using purge pump, pumpout unit, dry air or
nitrogen. Do not exceed test pressure

Test all joints, valves, fittings etc. with a halide

or electronic leak detector.

Check Leakage Rate

1 Install a mercury manometer (absolute pressure

type) on a tee at the cooler charging valve.
Pull 25 in. of vacuum on the machine.

Let machine stand with this vacuum for at least
8 hours

If leakage rate is less than 0.1 in. Hg in 24 hours
(0.033 in. Hg in 8 hrs), machine is sufficiently
tight. Perform Machine Dehydration.
If leakage rate exceeds 0.1 in. Hg per 24 hours,
repeat Check for Small Leaks, repair leaks and
repeat this Leakage Rate check.
Remove or valve off manometer before re­
peating any pressure test.

Machine Dehydration

W.^iRNlNG: Do not attempt to start compres­

sor, oil pump or purge motor even fox a
rotation check, nor app.ly test voltage of any
kind while machine is under dehydration
vacuum- Motor insuiation breakdown and
serious damage tnav result.
