2.7 Vacuum and gas leakage test
1. Use vacuum Pump
1) Air and humidity left inside the refrigerant circuit
can cause compressor malfunction. After having
connected the indoor and outdoor units, bleed the
air and humidity from the refrigerant circuit by using
a vacuum pump.
2) Open the piezometer and operation for
10-15minutes to check if the pressure of
piezometer remains in -0.1Mpa.
3) Close the vacuum pump and maintain this
status for 1-2min to check if the pressure of
piezometer remains in -0.1Mpa. If the pressure
decrease, there may be leakage.
4) Remove the piezometer, open the valve core
of liquid valve and gas valve completely.
5) Tighten the screw caps of valve and refrigerant
charging vent.
2. Leakage Detection
1).With leakage detection.
Check if there is leakage with leakage detection.
2).With soap water. If leakage detection is not
available, please use soap water for leakage
detection. Apply soap water at the suspected
position and keep the soap water for more than
3min. If there are air bubbles coming out of this
position, there a leakage.
