    Air Tightness Test On The Refrigerating System: Air Purging Method Is Prohibited For R32 System

    This document outlines the proper procedure for performing an air tightness test on an R32 refrigeration system without using air purging. It involves several steps: 1) evacuating the system using a vacuum pump until a pressure of -0.1MPa is reached, 2) performing a tightness test by charging the system with an inert gas and monitoring for pressure drops, and 3) if no leaks are detected, recovering the test gas before proceeding to charge the system with refrigerant. Air purging is prohibited for R32 systems.
