Air purging Air Purging Air purging • Do a leak test of all joints of the tubing(both indoor and out- door) and both gas and liquid side service valves. Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a undesirable effects as indicated below.
Air purging Soap water method (1) Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves. Gas side (2) Remove the service-port cap from the 3-way valve. (3) To open the 2-way valve turn the valve stem counter- clockwise approximately 90°, wait for about 2~3 sec, and close it.
