Air purging
Air and moisture in the refrigeration system have undesirable effects as indicated below:
1. Pressure in the system rises.
2. Operating current rises.
3. Cooling or heating(only for
models with heating function) efficiency drops.
4. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
5. Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must apply leakage test and be evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.
