2) Balance refrigerant of the 2-way, 3-way valves
(Gas leakage)
• Procedure
(1)
Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves
are set to the back seat.
(2)
Connect the charge set to the 3-way valve’s
port.
– Leave the valve on the charge set closed.
Connect the charge hose with the push pin to
the service port.
(3)
Open the valve (Lo side) on the charge set
and discharge the refrigerant until the gauge
indicates 0 kg/cm
2
G.
– If there is no air in the refrigerant cycle (the
pressure when the air conditioner is not
running is higher than 1 kg/cm
2
G), discharge
the refrigerant until the gauge indicates 0.5 to 1
kg/cm
2
G. if this is the case, it will not be
necessary to apply a evacuatin.
Discharge the refrigerant gradually; if it is
discharged too suddenly, the refrigeration oil
will also be discharged.
