MAINTAINING CHEMICAL STABILITY
IN THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The efficient operation and the life of the air conditioning
(A/C) system is dependent upon the chemical stability of
the refrigeration system. When foreign materials, such as
dirt, air, or moisture, contaminate the refrigeration system,
they will change the stability of the refrigerant and the poly-
alkaline glycol (PAG) compressor oil. They will also affect
the pressure–temperature relationship, reduce efficient
operation, and can possibly cause interior corrosion and
abnormal wear of moving parts.
Observe the following practices to ensure chemical stabil-
ity in the system:
S Wipe away dirt or oil at and near any connection
before opening that connection. This will reduce the
chance of dirt entering the system.
S Cap, plug, or tape both sides of a connection as
soon as possible after opening the connection. This
will prevent the entry of dirt, foreign material, and
moisture.
S Keep all tools clean and dry, including the manifold
gauge set and all replacement parts.
S Use a clean and dry transfer device and container
to add polyalkaline glycol refrigerant oil. This will
ensure that the oil remains as moisture–free as
possible. Refer to ”Discharging, Adding Oil, Eva-
cuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C System”
in this section.
S Have everything you need ready to allow you to
perform all operations quickly when opening an A/C
system. Do not leave the A/C system open any lon-
ger than necessary.
S Evacuate and recharge any A/C system that has
been opened. Refer to ”Discharging, Adding Oil,
Evacuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C Sys-
tem” in this section for the instructions to perform
this procedure properly.
All service parts are dehydrated and sealed before ship-
ping. They should remain sealed until just before making
connections. All the parts should be at room temperature
before uncapping. This prevents condensation of mois-
ture from the air from entering the system. Reseal all parts
as soon as possible.
DISCHARGING, ADDING OIL,
EVACUATING, AND CHARGING
PROCEDURES FOR A/C SYSTEM
CAUTION : Use only refillable refrigerant tanks that
are authorized for the charging station being used.
The use of other tanks may cause personal injury or
void the warranty. Refer to the manufacturer’s in-
structions for the charging station.CAUTION : To avoid personal injury, always wear
goggles and gloves when performing work that in-
volves opening the refrigeration system.
A charging station discharges, evacuates, and recharges
an air–conditioning (A/C) system with one hookup. Filter-
ing the refrigerant during the recovery cycle together with
filtering during the evacuation cycle ensures a supply of
clean, dry refrigerant for A/C system charging.
S Never use the R–134a charging station on a sys-
tem charged with R–12. The refrigerants and the
oils from each system are not compatible with
those from the other system and must never be
mixed, even in the smallest amount. Mixing refriger-
ant residue will damage the equipment.
S Never use adapters which convert from one size
fitting to another. Such use allows contamination,
which may cause system failure.
Charging Station Setup and Maintenance
There are many charging stations available. All perform
the various tasks required to discharge the system and re-
cover refrigerant, evacuate the system, add a measured
amount of oil, and recharge an A/C system with a mea-
sured amount of refrigerant. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for all initial setup procedures and all mainte-
nance procedures.
Control Panel Functions
A charging station will have controls and indicators to allow
the operator to control and monitor the operation in prog-
ress. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for details.
These can be expected to include the following:
1. Main Power Switch
S Supplies electrical power to the control panel.
2. Display
S Shows the time programmed for vacuum.
S Shows the weight of the refrigerant programmed
for recharging.
S Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for de-
tailed programming information.
3. Low–Side Manifold Gauge
S Shows the system’s low–side pressure.
4. High–Side Manifold Gauge
S Shows the system’s high–side pressure.
5. Controls Panel
S Controls the various operating functions.
6. Low–Side Valve
S Connects the low side of the A/C system to the
unit.
7. Moisture Indicator
S Shows whether the refrigerant is wet or dry.
8. High–Side Valve
S Connects the high side of the A/C system to the
unit.

Refrigerant Recovery
Important : Use only a refrigerant tank that is designed for
the charging station in use. The unit’s overfill limitation
mechanism is calibrated specifically for use with this tank.
The tank’s valves are also manufactured specifically for
this unit.
1. Attach the high–side hose with the quick disconnect
coupler to the high–side fitting of the vehicle’s A/C
system.
2. Open the coupler valve.
3. Attach the low–side hose with the quick disconnect
coupler to the low–side fitting of the vehicle’s A/C
system.
4. Open the coupler valve.
5. Check the high–side and the low–side gauges on
the unit’s control panel in order to ensure that the
A/C system has pressure. If there is no pressure,
there is no refrigerant in the system to recover.
Important : If there is no refrigerant in the system, do not
continue with the recovery operation which would, under
this condition, draw air into the recovery tank.
6. Open both the high–side and the low–side valves.
7. Open the gas and the liquid valves on the tank.
8. Drain any oil that may be in the oil separator.
9. Close the oil drain valve.
10. Plug the unit into the proper voltage outlet.
11. Turn on the main power switch.
Notice : Never reuse refrigerant oil. Damage to the A/C
system may result from such reuse. Dispose of the refrig-
erant oil properly.
12. Begin the recovery process. Refer to the manufac-
turer ’s instructions for the charging station in use.
Important : Some A/C system polyalkaline glycol (PAG)
lubricating oil may be removed with the refrigerant during
recovery. The amount of oil removed varies. A charging
station separates the oil from the refrigerant and provides
a means of determining how much oil was removed. Re-
place the same amount of oil when recharging the system.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the charging
station in use.
13. Wait 5 minutes, then check the control panel low–
side gauge. If the A/C has maintained vacuum, the
recovery is complete.
14. If the low–side gauge pressure rises above zero,
there is more refrigerant in the system. Recover the
additional refrigerant. Repeat this step until the sys-
tem maintains vacuum for 2 minutes.
Important : If the control indicator shows that the refriger-
ant tank is full during the recovery process and the unit
shuts off, install an empty unit tank to store the refrigerant
needed for steps later in the procedure. Do not use any
other type of tank.
Evacuation
The unit tank must contain a sufficient amount of R–134a
refrigerant for charging. Check the amount of refrigerant
in the tank. If there is less than 3.6 kg (8 pounds) of refrig-
erant, add new refrigerant to the tank. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s instructions for adding refrigerant.
1. Verify that the high–side and the low–side hoses
are connected to the A/C system. Open both the
high–side and the low–side valves on the unit’s
control panel.
2. Open both the gas and the liquid valves on the
tank.
Important : Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
the charging station in use. It is necessary to evacuate the
system before recharging it with new or recycled refriger-
ant.
3. Start the vacuum pump and begin the evacuation
process. Non–condensable gases (mostly air) are
vented from the tank automatically during the re-
cycling process. You may hear the pressure being
released.
4. Check for leaks in the system. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s instructions for the charging station
in use.
Important : Change the vacuum pump oil frequently. Re-
fer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the charging sta-
tion in use.
A/C System Oil Charge Replenishing
Any oil removed from the A/C system during the recovery
process must be replenished at this time.
1. Use the correct graduated bottle of PAG oil for the
R–134a system.
Important:
S Keep the oil bottles tightly capped at all times to
protect the oil from moisture and contamination.
S You must have an A/C system vacuum for this op-
eration. Never open the oil injection valve while
there is positive pressure in the A/C system. This
will result in oil blowback through the bottle vent.
S Never let the oil level drop below the pickup tube
while charging or replenishing the system, as this
will allow air into the A/C system.
2. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the
charging station in use. Add the proper amount of
PAG oil to the system.
3. Close the valve when the required oil charge has
been pulled into the system.
Charging
Important : Evacuate the A/C system before charging.
1. Close the low–side valve on the control panel.
2. Open the high–side valve on the control panel.
3. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the
charging station in use.
4. Enter the amount of refrigerant needed to charge
the A/C, making sure to use the correct system of
measurement, i.e. kilogram (kg) or pound (lb).
5. Begin the charging process.
