gauge ports.
9. Leak test the entire system. Using proper
procedures and caution, as described in the
previous section, repair any leaks found and repeat
the leak test.
Insulating and Isolating
Refrigerant Lines
Insulate the entire suction line with refrigerant piping
insulation. Also insulate any portion of the liquid line
exposed to temperature extremes. Insulate and isolate
liquid and suction lines from each other. Isolate
refrigerant lines from the structure and any duct work.
IImmppoorrttaanntt::
1. To prevent possible noise or vibration
problems, be certain to isolate
refrigerant lines from the building.
2. All suction and hot gas bypass piping (if
installed) should be insulated from the
termination in the air handler to the
condensing unit cabinet entry. Failure to
do so can cause condensate drip off and
performance degradation.
3. Prior to starting a unit, it is advisable to
have the approved oils available in the
event oil needs to be added to the
system.

For units equipped with compressors containing site
glasses, the oil level must be visible through the sight
glass when the compressor is running under stabilized
conditions and a few minutes after the compressor has
stopped.
Refrigerant Charging Procedure
If charging by weight, refer to Table 3, p. 18 for starting
change. If refrigerant adjustments are needed because
of length of line, refer to ”Charging Charts and
Superheat,” p. 25.
Charge by weight through the gauge port on the liquid
line. Once the charge enters the system, backseat
(open) the liquid line service valve and disconnect the
charging line and replace the cap on the gauge port.
NNootteess::
• R-22 should only be charged in the liquid
state.
• When possible, always charge the
refrigerant into the liquid line of the unit.
• If the entire charge can’t be charged into the
liquid line, the balance of the unit charge can
be metered through a charging manifold set
as liquid — preferably through a schrader
valve into the suction line to the compressor
— only while the compressor is running.
• Check and adjust superheat using Table 6, p.
25, then re-check charging charts to
determine if charge corrections are
necessary.
