  1. Sir .. Thanks for unloading the video on r22 charging.I have questions? Whether I should charge refrigerant on liquid form or vapor form. Many technician say liquid form … I am confused and new to this field..

      If the system use R22 refrigerant ,you can only charge in vapor form .But for new model & inverter air con which uses R410A must be charge in liquid form .

    After vaccume how i charge the refrigerant ? Some technician saying after vaccume 1st charge the refrigerant without starting the compressor and when suction n discharge pipe looking moisture then start the compressor and charge the refrigerant but i am confuse so kindly suggest.

      After vacuum the gas piping, fill the system with refrigerant first until 120psig in vapor form . Then late turn on the air con until the compressor start to run. When it starts to run ,you’ll see the liquid line has a frost on the liquid line.That’s normal on the system that is completely low on refrigerant . Normally ,when the pressure reaches 55psig the ice will melt off.But make sure you purge the yellow line before you charge the refrigerant into your air con system.Also make sure to use a clamp meter to monitor the running amps to prevent the system from being overcharged.(refer the running amps the side panel of the outdoor unit.)

        When vacuuming the gas piping , make sure the pressure in pulled til at -30in Hg .
        Pull vacuum for at least 15 minutes if the total piping is not longer than 10 Meters.
        After 15 minutes ,close the manifold gauge low side handle , shut down the vacuum pump. Leave the system in that condition for 5 minutes.If the needle does rise to 0 psig ,there is a leak in either the flare is not formed properly or the flare nut is tighten properly.
