1) Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not
replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Install the
new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant flow.

) Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
3) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG) and soap bubbles. Do not use R-134a
3) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG) and soap bubbles. Do not use R-134a
or R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing. Refrigerant leaks can
be detected by raising the pressure with nitrogen and a trace of refrigerant, using an
electronic leak detector.

electronic leak detector.
Note: Because the pipes in the evaporator case are specially coated to resist corrosion,
it is important to make connections outside the evaporator case when possible. If
it is necessary to braze inside the evaporator case, use sandpaper to remove the
coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.

3. Evacuation and Recharge [R-134a, R-404A]
1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure the charging hoses are connected to
both high and low-side lines.
IMPORTANT
The vacuum pump may be the same as those for current refrigerants. However,
the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for evacuation and refrigerant
charge should be exclusively for POE oils.

) Turn on the vacuum pump. Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to flow backward.
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 9.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends

4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the service manifold.

side line. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. See
the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin
refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.

6) A liquid charge is recommended for charging an R-134a or R-404A system. Invert the
service cylinder and place it on scales. Open the high-side, service manifold valve.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
8) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side. Use a

9) Close the two refrigerant access valves and disconnect the hoses and service manifold.
10) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.
