Emptying the Service Unit




Emptying the service unit

Note: If the filling cylinder is full with refrigerant and it is still necessary to extract further refrigerant, the dean refrigerant can be filled into a refrigerant bottle. Pay attention to the maximum filling weight here. The refrigerant bottle must not be overfilled.

1. Connect the refrigerant bottle with the connection piece at the refrigerant outlet (13).

2. Increase the pressure in the filling cylinder to approx. 8 bar by cleaning the refrigerant.

3. Open the bottle valve and the shut-off valve at the refrigerant outlet (11).

4. After completing the emptying operation, close the bottle valve and shut-off valve.

Note: Do not completely empty the filling cylinder, otherwise moisture may enter the service unit.
