Section 8. Refrigerant Line Leak Check
8.1 Check For Leaks
After completion of field piping for split systems, the field pipework shall be pressure tested with nitrogen and then vacuum tested prior to refrigerant charging, according to the following requirements:
1. The minimum leak test pressure of the lineset and indoor coil shall be the high side design pressure, unless the high side of the system, cannot be isolated from the low side of the system in which case the entire system shall be pressure tested to the low side design pressure.
2. The test pressure after removal of pressure source shall be maintained for at least 1 hour with no decrease of pressure indicated by the test gauge, with test gauge resolution not exceeding 5% of the test pressure.
Important: Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. Important: The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems: · Electronic leak detectors calibrated for R454B · Bubble method
STEP 1 - Pressurize the refrigerant lines and evaporator coil to 150 PSIG using dry nitrogen. STEP 2 - Check for leaks by using a soapy solution or bubbles at each brazed location. Note: Remove nitrogen pressure and repair any leaks before continuing. STEP 3 - Once the initial leak check is complete, complete a system pressure test. Pressurize the system to the design pressure of the system for a minimum of 60 minutes. Do not add additional refrigerant or test gas after reaching the design pressure. The system should show no loss of pressure once pressurized. Once the pressure test is complete follow the steps for evacuation.
Section 9. Evacuation
9.1 Evacuate the Refrigerant Lines and Indoor Coil
Important: Do not open the service valves until the refrigerant lines and indoor coil leak check and evacuation are complete.
STEP 1 - Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns, then close off the valve to the vacuum pump. STEP 2 - Observe the micron gauge. Evacuation is complete, if the micron gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one (1) minute and 1500 microns in ten (10) minutes.
Once evacuation is complete, blank off the vacuum pump and micron gauge, and close the valve on the manifold gauge set.
Section 10. Service Valves
10.1 Open the Gas Service Valve
Important: Leak check and evacuation must be completed before opening the service valves.
NOTE: Do not vent refrigerant gases into the atmosphere.

STEP 10 - If repairs must be made after system is charged, properly and safely remove and isolate refrigerant and purge the section of the system needing repair with oxygen free nitrogen prior to opening the circuit.
The refrigerant charge should be recovered into the correctly marked recovery cylinders. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. Only use cylinders designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant. Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder. Do not mix refrigerants.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT does not remain within the lubricant.

Using a digital psychrometer, measure the return air wet-bulb temperature at the unit just before the coil. Also measure the outdoor dry-bulb temperature. Use these temperatures to locate the target superheat on the charging table. Do not attempt to charge the system if these conditions fall outside of this charging table. ADD refrigerant to DECREASE total superheat. REMOVE refrigerant to INCREASE total superheat. Always allow 10 to 15 minutes of operature after any refrigerant or air flow change prior to determining the final superheat.

14.3 Weigh-In Method for Charging
Weigh-In Method can be used for the initial installation, or anytime a system charge is being replaced. Weigh-In Method can also be used when power is not available to the equipment site or operating conditions (indoor/ outdoor temperatures) are not in range to verify with the subcooling charging method.

Calculating Charge Using the Weigh-In Method
STEP 1 - Measure in feet the distance between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit and record on Line 1. Include the entire length of the line from the service valve to the IDU.
STEP 2 - Enter the charge multiplier (0.47 oz./ft for 3/8" & 0.30 oz./ft for 5/16"). Each linear foot of interconnecting tubing requires the addition of 0.6 oz of refrigerant.
STEP 3 - Multiply the total length of refrigerant tubing (Line 1) times the value on Step 2. Record the result on Line 3 of the Worksheet.
STEP 4 - This is the amount of refrigerant to weigh-in prior to opening the service valves.
