Re: R404A charge
1. Depends of refrigerant drum type. If it is without tube to the bottom (inside) then you need to turn it upside down. If it is with tube, then in normal position.
Check with sight glass in service manometer that is full with liquid. If you have liquid accumulator charge it in accumulator first and then top up on suction side carefully and with throttling (quick charger or with valve)
2. Charge by weight if it is known. If not, then charge by subcooling and superheat. Simulate low ambient conditions and ensure enough superheat and soubcooling.

Re: R404A charge
Hi Ding Kangzhi,
Better you add one port access for charging and one handvalve on the liquid line, if you want to charge the system while shutdown, just charge in to the port access.
after you start the system and found that the liquid line sight glass has not full yet, so you close the hand valve and top up from the port while the pressure at that side lower than your refrigerant cylinder.
Make sure what is the working pressure that you use.
best regards,
Martua

Re: R404A charge
Thanks
I am informed that when charging R404A, the compressor can not shutdown, must running the compressor and using sight glass method to charge.
Can you tell me more about charge the sytem while shutdown ? Thanks

Re: R404A charge
Use only this method ,while shutdown is when your commissioning a new system or your lost the entire gas charge ...and your evacuated the system.While in vacuum & charge to full sightglass.
Overwise , if its screw compressor just put your 60 kg bottle on the suction & let it go.
Recip compressor , you need tread with alittle more caution & watch your discharge temperature ..Plus
too much liquid refrigerant in your sump with an oil pump .You would lose your compressor on oil pressure switch.
I have re -top up 400 kilo systems ,this method on 404a.

Re: R404A charge
you have a cascade system one refrigerant isthe others condensor start with the lest efficient refrigerant and work up these refrigerants are not mixed they are seperate do not mix at any cost all ref should be labelled on machine and watch the very low temp ref they can have high head pressure
