No
other

refrig

than
the

This

refrigerant
is

usually
available

in

a

cylinder
In

either

case
it

is

liquefied
under

high
pressure

in

Use

IN

INSPECTION

Both

periodic
maintenance
and

season
in

inspection
are

most
essential

to
enable
the
air

conditioner
to

give

full

performance

Perform
the

following
checks

Start

check

refrigerant

level

through

on

receiver

For

details
refer

relative

topics

Check
the
entire

sysiein
for

sign

of

refrigerant
leaks

Refer
to
relative

topics
under

Checking
for

Leaks

and

Refrigerant
Leaks

If

any
trace
of
oil
is

noted
at

and

around
connection

fittings
it
is
a

sure

indication

that

refrigerant
is

leaking

This
condition

can
be
corrected

easily

by
retightening
the

joints
If

any
joint

on
line

is

suspected
of
small
amount
of

leakage
use
a
leak

detector
to

locate

leaking
points

ENERAL
SERVICE

INSTRUCTION

The

servicing
of
the
air
conditioner

should
be
carried
out

only
by
well

trained
servicemen
This

chapter
de

scribes
essential

points
of

servicing

Jf

a

Jarge
amount
of

dirt
and
sand

enter

the

system
they
will
be

carried
with

refrigerant
and

may

clog
the

system
or
scratch

rotating

parts
This

points
out
the
need
for

care
in

servicing
the

system
That

is

disconnecting

joints
should
be

carried
out

in
a
dean

place

Water
should
not
be
allowed
to

get

inside
the

system
The

refrigerant

does
not

readily
mix

with
water

However
the

presence
of
even
a

minute

amount
of

water
will
cause

a
chemical
reaction

at

high
tem

perature
which
will
in

turn

produce

hydrochloric
acid

HCl
Since

hydrochloric
acid
is

highly
corro

sive
to
metals
the
aluminum
and

copper
piping
etc
will
become

corroded
and
the

refrigeration

system
will
become

clogged

Water
in
the

system
will

ice
the

orifice
when
the

high
pressure
re

frigerant
is

changed
to
low

pressure

refrigerant
by

expansion
valve
etc

and
will
obstruct
the

refrigerant

flow

The

following
items

are

general

instructions
to
be

closely
observed
in

servicing
the

system

I
When
a

system
line
is

discon

nected

plug
the

opening
immediately

This
is

especially
necessary
to

prevent

moisture

condensation
from

forming

in
the
line
and
to

keep
out
dirt
and

dust
It
is
also

necessary
to

keep
the

line
at
and
above

surrounding
air

temperatures
at
all

times
When

con

necting
system
lines
do

not

attempt

to
remove
the

plug
from
the

opening

until

ready
for
immediate
use

2

Always
keep
the

working
place

clean
and

dry
and
free
from
dirt
and

dust

Wipe
water
off
with
a
clean

cloth

3
Have
all

necessary
tools
in

pre

paration
beforehand

and
have

tools

clean
and

dry

4
The

compressor
oil
will

easily

absorb
moisture
when

exposed
to
air

Immediateiy
close
the

opening
of
the

container
after
use
It
is
also

necessary

to
observe
the

following
notes

Notes

a
The
oil
should
not
be
transfused

from
a
container
into

another
as

the
failure

will

possibly
cause
mois

ture
to

with
the
oil

b
The

used

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

I

Since
direct

contact
of
the

liquid

refrigerant
with

your
skin
will
cause

frostbite

always
be
careful

when

handling
the

refrigerant
Wear

gloves

or

wrap
a

piece
of
cloth
around
service

valve

to

protect
your
fingers
against

frostbite

by

refrigerant
If

any
of
the

refrigerant
should

get
into

your
eyes

when

charging
the

refrigerant
splash

your
eyes
with

cool
water
to
raise

the

temperature
gradually
Apply
a

protec

tive

film
to

the

eye
to

avoid
infection

Do
not
rub

your
eyes
Consult
an

eye

specialist
Always
wear

goggles
or

glasses
to

protect
your
eyes
when

working
around
the

system
Should

refrigerant
strikes

your
body
splash

on
cool
water
and

apply
a

protective

film

2
The

refrigerant
service
container

has
a

safe

strength
However
if
han

dled

incorrectiy
it
wili

explode

Therefore

always
follow
the
instruc

tions
on
the

label
In

particular
never

stpre
it
in

a
hot

location
above

S20C

l250F
or

drop
it
from

a

high

height

3
The

refrigerant
gas
is

odorless
and

colorless
and

breathing
may
become

difficult

due
to
the

lack
of

oxygen

Since
the

refrigerant
gas
is

heavier
than

air
and

will

lay
close
to
the
floor
be

especially
careful
when

handling
it

in

small

confined

spaces

4

The

refrigerant
itself
is
nonflam

mable
However
a

toxic

gas

phosgene

gas
is

produced
when
it

contacts
fire

and

special
care
is
therefore

required

when

checking
for

leaks
in

the

system

with

a
halide
torch

5

Do
not
steam

clean
on
the

sys

tern

especially
condenser
since
exces

sively
high
pressure
will
build

up
in

the

system
resulting
in

explosion
of
the

system

The

above

precautions
are
essential

in

handling
of

Refrigerant
l
2
and

their
strict
observation

requires
suffi

AC
9
dent

training
Therefore
it
is

of
first

importance
that

any
other

personnel

than
a
well
trained
serviceman
should

not
be

allowed
to
handle
the

refrig

erant

EVACUATING

AND

CHARGING
SYSTEM

During

servicing
use
caution
to

keep
air

from

getting
into

refrigerant

When
air

enters
the

system
all

refriger

ant

must
be
evacuated
from

system

prior
to

charging
new
refrigerant
Air

in

refrigerant
has
the

following
delete

rious

effects

I

Since
the
condensation

tempera

ture

of
the
air
is

extremely
low
the
air

will

not
be

condensed
when

refrigerant

gas
is
condensed

in
the
condenser
and

the

air
will

thus
remain
in

gaseous

form

Consequently
the
effective

thermal

transmission
area

of
condenser

for

refrigerant
gas
will
be
red
uced
and

refrigerant
gas
to
be
condensed
will
be

red
ueed
The

pressure
rise
will
become

proportional
to

the
volume
of
the
air

in

system

2

When
air
and

refrigerant
are

mixed
in

system
a
chemical
reaction

will
be

produced
and

hydrochloric

acid
which
will

adversely
affect
the

aluminum

copper
iron
and
other

materials
in

system
may
be

generated

HANDLING
MANIFOLD

GAUGE

The

pressure
at
the

high
and
low

sides
of

system
should
be

measured

when

evacuating
and

charging
refrig

erant
and
when

diagnosing
trouble
in

the

system
The
manifold

gauge
is
used

for
these

purposes
A

manifold

gauge

has
two

pressure
gauges
a

low

pressure

gauge
and
a

high
pressure
gauge
These

gauges
are

connected
to

the

high
and

low

side
service

valves
of

system

through
flexible

charging
hoses

The

construction

of
