9.5.3 PRECAUTIONS FOR BRAZING
RISK OF BURNS!
Burn hazard during cooling circuit brazing procedures!
WARNING!
Check the nitrogen ow during brazing. If brazing is performed without using nitrogen, a strong layer
of rust will develop inside the pipes, which may damage the valves and compressor and hinder the unit
from operating correctly.
When performing brazing while feeding nitrogen into the pipe, the nitrogen must be regulated with a
pressure reduction valve at 0.2 Bar (20 kPa) (just sucient to be felt on the skin).
Use a suitable nitrogen pressurisation brazing kit and proceed as follows:
1) Connect the kit to the circuit as shown in the picture below.
2) Open the nitrogen feed cocks.
3) Ensure the nitrogen feeding pressure does not exceed 0.2 Bar (20 kPa).
4) If necessary protect the components with a damp cloth to prevent overheating.
5) Proceed with heating the pipe section with an oxyacetylene welding torch.
6) Add welding material until weld is completed by capillarity.

9.5.4 SEAL TEST OF THE COOLING CIRCUIT WITH NITROGEN PRESSURISATION
Once the cooling circuit is completed, a verication of soldered joints and union ttings by way of nitrogen pressurisation
is recommended.
Use a suitable nitrogen pressurisation circuit test kit and proceed as follows:
1) Connect the kit to the circuit.
2) Open any cocks and/or solenoid valves on the circuit.
3) Ensure no circuit sections can remain isolated.
4) Open the nitrogen delivery valve.
5) Reach test pressure for R410a systems, shown on the suitable kit pressure gauge. The recommended pressure is between
40 and 42 Bar (4 - 4.2 MPa):
If the pressure does not reach this value, this means that there is a leak in the circuit.
If it reaches the recommended pressure, maintain it for at least one hour. The test is considered a success if, in such a
period of time, there is no decrease in pressure. Otherwise, it means there is a leak in the circuit.
6) Should a leak be found, proceed with the repair and repeat the previous operations, otherwise proceed with vacuum drying
operations of the cooling line (see the next chapter).
