Hi,
I recently bought a hinari split system from focus. I must same I'm pretty happy with it appart from the TERRIBLE manual. The manual was wrong regarding the ingenious coupler that connects the two units (pre charged setup). The manual also did not mention having to open the two valves on the heat exchanger outside (the smaller supply and larger return valves). So in short for a while the system had run with them closed thus no cooling.... I'm amazed the pump survived it.
Anyway, on to my question. The supply and return valves are typical for these split systems.... The usual nut cap with a hex key adjuster inside. At this time I have them open one turn each.
Question is "are they open enough?". I can hear a rush of gas, not escaping gas but gas going through the valves, kind of how a tap sounds running a garden hose when the tap is half open... IE hiss/whoosh as water goes through the tap, allbeit restricted.
Thanks in advance.
