Installing Refrigerant Line Between Compressor And Condenser (Section From Air-Conditioning Compressor To Heat EXCHANGER (ICOND))

NOTE: Opened refrigerant system for repairs.

Risk of moisture getting into the refrigerant system.
Risk of contaminating the refrigerant circuit.
Risk of saturation and irreparable damage to desiccator.
Irreparable damage to the desiccator can damage the compressor and evaporator.
→ After opening the refrigerant circuit, close off the refrigerant lines/connections immediately using the relevant stoppers. To avoid contaminating the refrigerant circuit, the stoppers for the different refrigerants must be stored and used separately.

→ The desiccator must be replaced if the air humidity is high and if the refrigerant circuit is left open for a long time.
