Air and foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit can cause abnormal rises in pressure, which can damage the unit. Use a vacuum pump and manifold gauge to evacuate the refrigerant circuit. Evacuation should be performed upon initial installation and when the unit is relocated.
Before Performing Evacuation:
✓ Check to ensure the connective pipes between the indoor and outdoor units are connected properly.
✓ Check to make sure all wiring is connected properly.
Evacuation Instructions:
1. Connect the charge hose of the manifold gauge to the service port on the outdoor unit’s low pressure valve.
2. Connect another charge hose from the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump.
3. Open the low pressure side of the manifold gauge. Keep the high pressure side closed.
4. Turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate the system.
5. Run the vacuum for at least 15 minutes, or until the compound meter reads -750 Microns (-10⁵Pa).
6. Close the low pressure side of the manifold gauge, and turn off the vacuum pump.
7. Wait for 5 minutes, then check that there has been no change in system pressure.
8. If there is a change in system pressure, check for leaks. If there is no change, unscrew the cap from the packed valve (high pressure valve).
9. Insert a hexagonal wrench into the packed valve (high pressure valve) and open the valve by turning the wrench in a 1/4 counter-clockwise turn. Listen for gas to exit the system, then close the valve after 5 seconds.
10. Watch the pressure gauge for one minute to make sure that there is no change in pressure. The pressure gauge should read slightly higher than atmospheric pressure.
11. Remove the charge hose from the service port.
12. Using a hexagonal wrench, fully open both the high pressure and low pressure valves.
13. Tighten valve caps on all three valves (service port, high pressure, and low pressure) by hand. Tighten it further using a torque wrench if needed.
When and how do I add refrigerant to the MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-C-230-25?
CAUTION: DO NOT mix refrigerant types.
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The standard pipe length varies according to local regulations (e.g., in North America, it is 7.5m or 25′). The refrigerant should be charged from the service port on the outdoor unit’s low pressure valve. The additional refrigerant to be charged can be calculated using the following formula:
| Liquid Side Diameter | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| φ6.35(1/4″) | φ9.52(3/8″) | φ12.7(1/2″) | |
| R410A (metering device in the indoor unit) | (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x 30g(0.32oz)/m(ft) | (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x 65g(0.69oz)/m(ft) | (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x 115g(1.23oz)/m(ft) |
| R410A (metering device in the outdoor unit) | (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x 15g(0.16oz)/m(ft) | (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x 30g(0.32oz)/m(ft) | (Total pipe length – standard pipe length) x 65g(0.69oz)/m(ft) |
