The installer solders or brazes the tubing onto the unit (tubing that goes to the indoor coil) and then opens the service valves. What Tim suggests is that the installer vacuum pump the air out of the system, and put in "just the right" amount of refrigerant. Using temperature and pressure to know when it's got enough. Yeah. There seem to be 3 ways to charge. In descending order ' of correctness, 1) use temperature and pressure to get it exactly right; 2) weigh the charge and put in the manufacturer's recommendation; 3) add charge until it feels about the same temperature as a cold beer can. You'd be surprised how often 3) is used. "need more freezon, Bubba!!" .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org .. |
