Re: Vaccum
Pumping vacuum with the compressor is not a good practice: compressor can't achieve a low enough vacuum .
Compressor may not run for a loner time in vacuum, windings aren't cooled with a suction gas cooled machine.
For the price of a dryer, I shouldn't hesitate to replace it.
I vacuum a suspected wet system first with the old dryers in place, heat them up till +/- 70 to 100 °C with a heat gun.
Then brake the vacuum with nitrogen.
Change filters and vacuum again with the new dryers in place.It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Re: Vaccum
Why do you need to vac the system? Do you have moisture in the system? Changing the driers is a wise precauton. Two methods to vac that work.
1. Deep vac. Put vac on and leave for 24 hours or so
1. Tripple vac. vac then brake with OFN, second vac and brake with OFN and finaly vac and charge with gas. Each vac getting increasingly deeper aiming for a 2 torr or less vac.
Cheers taz.

Re: Vaccum
Taz24, I do it almost the same way you do, except that I don't let it run that long.
For a new setup till +/- 10 HP and 'normal' length of copper, each cycle lasts +/- 1 hour and braking the vacuum each time with OFN.
Sometimes running with 2 pumps as far as possible from each other. All SV's energised with a permanent magnet.It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Yes I agree Peter. The little coil pullers are a god send when vaving and pressure testing
If the system will permit then I fit the vac on one side of the system and the torr gauge as far away as possible to get the true reading.
Cheers taz.
