Additional gas charging
(Gas leakage)
• When refrigerant is insufficient by leakage, recharge the unit with the refrigerant up to normal operating suc-
tion pressure.
• Use the graph or the equation below to get operating suction pressure according to indoor and outdoor tem-
perature.
Suction pressure was measured at 3-way valve service port after operating the unit for 10 minutes.
The method of using graph
- Find outdoor temperature.
- Find indoor temperature onto the curve of outdoor temperature.
- Read suction pressure at the axis of ordinates.
The method of using equation
-. Calculate suction pressure after putting indoor and outdoor temperature into the equation.
