Question. If any trace mineral spirits were left in the system, will these be boiled off when vacuuming with a vacuum pump?
Depends on how good your vacuum is, but yes, basically. If you are
concerned that a significant amount might be present in (say) a heat
exchanger you can speed things up by warming it with a hot air gun. Do
you have a gauge on your vacuum pump?
