Installation Guide
(5) In case the vacuum state cannot be reached, vacuumizing shall be carried out from numerous positions, to
pump the refrigerant in each part of the system out;
(6) It shall be guaranteed that the capacity of cylinders is sufficient before recovery;
(7) The recovery equipment shall be started and operated as per the operation instructions of the manufacturer;
(8) The  cylinder  cannot  be  charged  too  full.  (The  refrigerant  charged  cannot  exceed  80%  of  the  capacity  of
cylinders)
(9) The maximum operating pressure of cylinders cannot be surpassed, not even for a short term;
(10) After refrigerant charging is completed, the cylinder and equipment must be evacuated rapidly, and all the
stop valves on the equipment must be closed;
(11) Before purification and tests, the refrigerant recovered cannot be charged into another refrigeration system.
Note:
The air conditioner 
shall be marked (with dates and signature) after being scrapped and the refrigerant is
discharged. It shall be guaranteed that the sign on the air conditioner can reflect the flammable refrigerant
charged inside.
Recovery
During  maintenance  or  scrapping,  the  refrigerant  inside  the  refrigeration  system  needs  to  be  cleared.  It  is 
recommended that the refrigerant be cleared thoroughly. 
The  refrigerant  can  only  be  charged  into  a  dedicated  cylinder,  the  capacity  of  which  shall  match  with  the 
refrigerant  amount  charged  in  the  whole  refrigeration  system.  All  cylinders  to  be  used  are  designated  for  the 
recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (Dedicated Cylinder for Refrigerant Recovery). The cylinders 
shall be equipped with pressure relief valves and stop valves under favorable state. The empty cylinder shall be 
vacuumized before usage and be kept under normal temperature if possible. 
The  recovery  equipment  shall  always  be  under  favorable  working  state,  and  be  equipped  with  operation 
instruc
tions,  to  facilitate  information  search.  The  recovery  equipment  shall  be  applicable  to  the  recovery  of 
flammable refrigerant. Moreover, weighing apparatus under available state with measurement certificates shall be 
equipped. In addition, removable attachment joints free from leakage shall be used as the hose, and shall always 
be under favorable state. Whether the recovery equipment is under favorable state and is properly maintained and 
whether all the electrical components are sealed shall be checked before usage, to avoid fire in case of refrigerant 
leakage. If you have any question, please contact your local dealer or qualified personnel.      
The  refrigerant  recovered  shall  be  delivered  back  to  the  manufacturer  in  appropriate  cylinders,  with 
transporting instructions being attached. Mixing of refrigerant in recovery equipment (especially the cylinders) is 
not allowed.
During  transporting,  the  space  in  which  the  flammable  refrigerant  air  conditioners  are  loaded  cannot  be 
sealed.  Anti-static  measures  shall  be  taken  for  the  transporting  vehicles  if  necessary.  Meanwhile,  during  the 
transporting, loading and unloading of air conditioners, necessary protective measures shall be taken,  to protect 
the air conditioner from being damaged. 
During  removal  of  the  compressor  or  clearing  of  the  compressor  oil,  it  shall  be  guaranteed  that  the 
compressor  is  vacuumized  to  a  proper  level,  to  ensure  no  residual  flammable  refrigerant  is  left  inside  the 
lubricating oil. The vacuumizing shall be completed before the compressor is delivered back to the manufacturer. 
The 
vacuumizing can  only  be  accelerated  by  heating  the  compressor  housing  through  electrical  heating.  Safety 
shall be guaranteed when the oil is discharged from the system.
