    More Refrigeration pipe stolen



    Fitted several Hitachi IVX systems in the summer.
    Got a call the other day from customer letting us know that some scumbags had been on the roof and stolen the exposed pipe and cable.
    I think the pipes were open for about 3-4 days.
    They have been sealed now until I can get there to replace them.
    What's the minimum steps required, obove nitrgen blow through and mega vaccing, after pipe replacement ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Best you change the oil on any systems that have been open to atmosphere for any length of time, this may involve taking the compressor out & tipping it over to drain the oil out. If you do this be gentle though & prob best you don't tip it completely up-side down...
