Hi,
I want to moving two units on Diakin tri-split system containing R22d gas. This is how I plan to do it :
1) Run new pipes to new location keeping ends covered to stop moisture entry (already done)
2) Recover the gas into outside unit. Run sytem in cold mode for few minutes, then close liquid valve and when pressure drops to zero close gas valve and shut off sytem.
3) Disconnect existing piping and move units.
4) Connect new pipes to internal units and external unit. Connections made with hand flare tool not brazed.
5) Pressure test system by filling with gas and leave overnight to see if pressure drops. I have a spare 1KG bottle of R22d - can I use this or must I use Argon / Nitrogen ?.
6) Vac sytem and leave for few hours to see if pressure increases.
7) Open valves. Liquid side first ?.
8) Switch on
Does this sound reasonable ?.
Is there anything missing ?.
Can I pressure test using some spare R22d and then vac system - or must I use Nitrogen/Argon ?
The pressure guage I have has several scales for the different gases - why is this ?.
thanks
