NOTE
It is possible that all liquid may not be pulled into
the receiver, as outlined in step d. In this case,
vapor charge remaining refrigerant through the
suction service valve.
e. When refrigerant cylinder weight (scale) indicates
that the correct charge has been added, close liquid
line valve on cylinder and backseat the king valve.

CAUTION
Refrigerant R404a is a blend. Charging as a
vapor will change the properties of the
refrigerant. Only liquid charging through
the king valve is acceptable.
NOTE
The ambient (air entering the condenser) air
temperature should be above 40°F(4.4°C)

Figure 4-11. Procedure for Adding A Partial
Charge
a. Place drum of refrigerant on scale and note weight.
Backseat discharge and suction service valves and
install a manifold gauge set in order to monitor sys-
tem. Purge lines. Connect the discharge gauge of a
second manifold test set to the king valve. Connect
the suction pressure hose to manifold dead head
port. Connect a charging line between the center tap
of the second gauge set and refrigerant drum. Mid-
seat discharge knob. Open the liquid valve on drum
and purge all hoses. Frontseat discharge knob. See
Figure 4-11.
b. Start the unit with the road compressor turning at
2400 rpm.
c. Check the sight glass to determine charge. See Sec-
tion 4.7.1. If undercharged, proceed with step d.
d. Front seat the king valve. Monitor the second set of
manifold gauges. When the king valve pressure
drops below the pressure in the refrigerant drum, mid-
seat the manifold gauge set discharge valve and al-
low liquid refrigerant to flow into the system.
e. While monitoring the sight glass, carefully weigh re-
frigerant into the system. It is not possible to accu-
rately determine when the system is full because unit
is in discharge state; therefore, never allow more than
1 lb. (0.45 kg) of refrigerant into system at a time.
