Check compressor for tightness, evacuate and charge refrigerant
- Check for tightness.
- Check the refrigerant circuit (assembly) for tightness, as a whole or in parts, according to EN378-2 (or other applicable equivalent safety standards). For this, create an excess pressure, preferably using dried nitrogen. Observe test pressures and safety reference:
DANGERRisk of bursting due to excessive pressure!

Risk of bursting due to excessive pressure!
The pressure applied during the test must never exceed the maximum permitted values!
Test pressure: 1.1-fold of the maximum allowable pressure (see name plate). Make a distinction between the high-pressure and low-pressure sides!
- Evacuate.
- Charge refrigerant.
- Energize compressor/system again.
See operating instructions SB-170 for further information.
