*These are typical pressures only. Indoor evaporator match up, indoor air quality and evaporator load will cause the pressures to vary.
IMPORTANT
Use table 4 as a general guide for performing main-
tenance checks. Table 4 is not a procedure for
charging the system. Minor variations in these
pressures may be expected due to differences in
installations. Significant deviations could mean
that the system is not properly charged or that a
problem exists with some component in the sys-
tem. Used prudently, table 4 could serve as a useful
service guide.
Before charging the unit, follow the procedure below
to determine: the liquid line temperature and the out-
door ambient temperature.
1 -- Connect manifold gauge set to service valves: low
pressure gauge to suction valve service port; high
pressure gauge to liquid valve service port. Con-
nect the center manifold hose to an upright bottle
of HCFC-22. Close manifold gauge set valves.
2 -- Set the room thermostat to call for heat. This will
create the necessary load for properly charging the
system in the cooling cycle.
3 -- Record the outdoor ambient temperature. For
greater accuracy, use the same electronic ther-
mometer to measure liquid temperature.
4 -- When thermostat demand has been satisfied,
switch to cooling mode with a set point of 68
E
F
(20
E
C). When pressures have stabilized, record the
liquid line temperature.
5 -- The outdoor temperature will determine which
charging method to use. Proceed with the ap-
propriate charging procedure below.

1-- Recover the refrigerant from the unit.
2-- Conduct a leak check, then evacuate as previously
outlined.
3-- Weigh in the factory charge as shown on the out-

Outdoor Temp
1-- With themanifold gauge hose still on theliquid ser-
vice port and the unit operating stably, record the
liquid line temperature.
2-- At the same time, record the liquid line pressure
reading.
3-- Using a temperature/pressure chart for HCFC-22,
determinethe saturation temperature for the liquid
line pressure reading.
