Refrigerant: Service and Repair
Refrigerant Recovery, Evacuating and Recharging
1. Recovery
The refrigerant must be discharged and recovered by using the J-39500 (ACR4: HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Recharging/System) or
equivalent before removing or mounting air conditioning parts.
1. Connect the high and low charging hoses of the ACR4 (or equivalent) as shown.
2. Recover the refrigerant by following the Manufacturer's Instructions.
3. When a part is removed, put a cap or a plug on the connecting portion so that dust, dirt or moisture cannot get into it.
Refrigerant Recycling
Recycle the refrigerant recovered by J-39500 (ACR(4):HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent.
For details of the actual operation, follow the steps in the ACR(4) (or equivalent) Manufacturers Instructions.
2. Evacuating
NOTE:
Explained below is a method using a vacuum pump. Refer to the ACR (or equivalent) manufacturer's instructions when evacuating the system with a
ACR (or equivalent).
Air and moisture in the refrigerant will cause problems in the air conditioning system. Therefore, before charging the refrigerant, be sure to evacuate air
and moisture thoroughly from the system.
