    Need Urgent Help



    Good day.
    I need urgent help. I have a slight leak along the liquid line of the r410 system. After pumping down the system, can i top up the system with the same r410 or do i have let out all the gas?

    No to all the questions above.

    I'm not sure of the laws in Jamaca but in a lot of Countries it
    is illegal to just top up the system and it is very illegal to let
    it out.

    You should recover the refrigerant, find and repair the leak,
    pressure test with nitrogen to the correct standards, vac
    the system down to the correct level and then add new refrigerant,
    by weight as per the manufacturers instructions.

    Regards

    Rob

    @boyderic- I guess you mean if its OK to top R410a, R410a unlike R407c can be topped up. ODP for R410a maybe 0 but GWP is 1725, so fix the leak before you top up unless you want to see the polar cap gone fully.
