7.4 Installation for the first time

Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as below:
● Pressure in the system rises.
● Operating current rises.
● Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
● Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
● Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system.
Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes between indoor and outdoor units must be leak tested and
evacuated to remove gas and moisture from the system.
Gas leak check (Soap water method):
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connections or outdoor unit
connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the piping. If bubbles come
out, the pipes have leakage.

the meter does not indicate -0.1Mpa after pumping 30 minutes, it should be pumped 20 minutes more. If
the pressure can’t achieve -0.1Mpa after pumping 50 minutes, please check if there are some leakage

ODMI-A-1110
points.
Fully close the handle Lo valve of the manifold valve and stop the operation of the vacuum pump.
Confirm that the gauge needle does not move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum
pump).
7) Turn the flare nut of the 3-way valves about 45° counterclockwise for 6 or 7seconds after the gas
coming out, and then tighten the flare nut again. Make sure the pressure display in the pressure
indicator is a little higher than the atmosphere pressure. Then remove the charge hose from the 3
way valve.
