506469-01 Issue 1008 4. Remover the existing R-22 refrigerant flow control orifice or thermal expansion valve before continuing with flushing procedures. R-22 flow control devices are not approved for use with R410A refrigerant and may prevent proper flushing.
506469-01 Issue 1008 3. Connect the external equalizer line to the equalizer port on the suction line and tighten to 8 ft.lbs. 4. S trap the superheat sensing bulb to the suction header . If installing an exp ansion valve on an indoor coil that previously used a fixed orifice, be sure to remove the existing fixed orifice.
506469-01 Issue 1008 Using an Electronic Leak Detector 1. Connect the high pressure hose of the manifold gauge set to the suction valve service port. (Normally the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port; however , connecting it to the suction ports helps to protect the manifold gauge set from damage caused by high pressure.
506469-01 Issue 1008 4. Open both manifold valves and start vacuum pump. 5. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to a minimum of 500 microns or lower . During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once to determine if there is a rapid rise in pressure.
506469-01 Issue 1008 ST ART -UP 1. Rotate fan to check for frozen bearings or binding. 2. Inspect all factory and field-installed wiring for loose connections. 3. A f ter evacuation is complete, open liquid line and suction line service valves to release refrigerant charge (contained in outdoor unit) into system.
506469-01 Issue 1008 5. Compare the subcooling value with those shown in T able 6 on page 14. If subcooling is greater than shown, recover some refrigerant.
506469-01 Issue 1008 Page 15 of 24 6. Compare the approach value with those shown in T able 7. If the values do not agree with those provided in T able 7, add refrigerant to lower the approach temperature or recover refrigerant from the system to increase the approach temperature.
