Purging The Piping And The Indoor Unit
Except for the outdoor unit which is pre-charged with
refrigerant, the indoor unit and the refrigerant
connection pipes must be air-purged because the
aircontaining moisture that remains in the refrigerant cycle
may cause malfunction of the compressor.
•
Remove the caps from the valve and the service port.
•
Connect the center of the charging gauge to the vacuum
pump.
•
Connect the charging gauge to the service port of the
3-way valve.
•
Start the vacuum pump. Evacuate for approximately 30
minutes. The evacuation time varies with different
vacuum pump capacity. Confirm that the charging gauge
needle has moved towards -76mmHg (0~76mmHg).
Caution
•
If the gauge needle does not move to 0~76mmHg,
be sure to check for gas leaks (using the refrigerant
detector) at flare type connection of the indoor and
outdoor unit and repair the leak before proceeding
to the next step.
•
Close the valve of the changing gauge and stop the
vacuum pump.
•
On the outdoor unit, open the suction valve (3 way) and
liquid valve (2 way) (in anti-clockwise direction) with
4mm key for hexagon sacked screw.

Additional Charge
The refrigerant is pre-charged in the outdoor unit. If the piping
length is less than 7.6m, then additional charge after
vacuuming is not necessary. If the piping length is more than
7.6m, then use the additional charge valve as indicated in the
table below.

E.g. CE20E & SL20C with 15m piping length, additional piping
length is 7.4m. Thus,
Additional Charge = 7.4[m] x 16[g/m]
= 118.4[g]
