PUMPOUT AND REFRIGERANT
TRANSFER PROCEDURES
Preparation —
The 23XL may come equipped with iso-
lation valves and/or a pumpout system/optional storage tank
for the purpose of servicing the unit. The pumpout system
may come equipped with or without a storage tank. Three
possibilities are available:
1. If isolation valves are supplied, the refrigerant can be pumped
to either the cooler vessel or the condenser vessel by us-
ing the optional pumpout system without a storage tank.
2. Whether or not isolation valves are supplied, the refrig-
erant can be pumped to and isolated in an optional stor-
age tank by using the optional pumpout system.
3. If isolation valves are not supplied, a pumpout system
with a storage tank is needed.
The following procedures are used to describe how to trans-
fer refrigerant from vessel to vessel and perform machine
evacuation.
Operating the Optional Pumpout Compressor
1. Be sure that the suction and the discharge service valves
on the optional pumpout compressor are open (back-
seated) during operation. Rotate the valve stem fully coun-
terclockwise to open. Frontseating the valve closes the
refrigerant line and opens the gage port to compressor
pressure.
2. Make sure that the compressor holddown bolts have been
loosened to allow free spring travel.
3. Open the refrigerant inlet valve on the pumpout
compressor.
4. Oil should be visible in the compressor sight glass under
all operating conditions and during shutdown. If oil is low,
add oil as described under Optional Pumpout
System Maintenance section, page 67. The pumpout unit
control wiring schematic is detailed in Fig. 41.
TO READ REFRIGERANT PRESSURES during pumpout
or leak testing:
1. The LID display on the machine control center is suitable
for determining refrigerant-side pressures and low (soft)
vacuum. For evacuation or dehydration measurement, use
a quality vacuum indicator or manometer to ensure the
desired range and accuracy. This can be placed on the
Schrader connections on each vessel by removing the pres-
sure transducer.
2. To determine storage tank pressure, a 30 in.-0-400 psi (-101-
0-2760 kPa) gage is attached to the vessel.
3. Refer to Fig. 31-34, and 42 for valve locations and
numbers.
Transfer, addition, or removal of refrigerant in spring-
isolated machines may place severe stress on external
piping if springs have not been blocked in both up and
down directions.
Machines with Storage Tanks — If the machine has
isolation valves, leave them open for the following proce-
dures. The letter ‘‘C’’ describes a closed valve. Valves 9 and
10 on the storage tank are always closed.
TRANSFER REFRIGERANT FROM STORAGE TANK TO
MACHINE
NOTE: Valve 14 is only available on Frame 1 and 2 ma-
chines. Valves 16 and 17 are only available on Frame 4 ma-
chines.
1. Equalize refrigerant pressure.
a. Use the Control Test Terminate Lockout to turn on wa-
ter pumps and monitor pressures.
b. Close pumpout/storage tank valves 2, 4, 5, and 8, and
close the appropriate machine charging valve 7A and
7B; open appropriate machine isolation valves 11 through
17.
c. Open pumpout/storage tank valves 3 and 6, open ma-
chine valves 1a and 1b.
