GREE NEO12AC230V1AO - System Vacuum and Charge - 1

CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump. It may result in equipment damage or improper system operation.

Refrigerant pipes and indoor coil should be evacuated using the recommended deep vacuum method of 500 microns. The alternate triple evacuation method may be used if the procedure outlined below is followed.

NOTE: Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen.

Using Vacuum Pump

  1. Completely tighten flare nuts A, B, C, D, connect manifold gage charge hose to a charge port of the low side service valve.
  2. Connect charge hose to vacuum pump.
  3. Fully open the low side of manifold gage. See figure at right.
  4. Start vacuum pump.

  1. Evacuate using either deep vacuum or triple evacuation method.
  2. After evacuation is complete, fully close the low side of manifold gage and stop operation of vacuum pump.
  3. The factory charge contained in the outdoor unit is good for up to 25 ft. (8 m) of line length.

NOTE: For refrigerant lines longer than 25 ft (8 m), add add'l refrigerant per foot of extra piping up to the maximum allowable length. See System Requirement section on page 4 for more info

  1. Disconnect charge hose from charge connection of the low side service valve.
  2. Fully open service valves B and A.
  3. Securely tighten caps of service valves.

Deep Vacuum Method

The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump capable of pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a vacuum gage capable of accurately measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum method is the most positive way of assuring a system is free of air and liquid water.
