Removing 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.
