AspectVacuuming through service valveRefrigerant charging through service valve
Main purposeRemove air, moisture, non‑condensables from the system.​Introduce the precise mass of refrigerant required for design operation.​
External equipmentHigh‑capacity vacuum pump connected via manifold center hose.​Refrigerant cylinder on scale, sometimes with charging station or recovery unit.​
Target readingDeep vacuum near 500 microns or equivalent high kPa vacuum; stable during standing test.​Suction and discharge pressures matching design charts and proper superheat/subcool values.​
Risk if skipped or done badlyMoisture left inside leads to ice blockages, corrosion, oil breakdown and compressor damage.​Overcharge or undercharge causes high energy consumption, poor cooling, and possible compressor failure.​
Typical sequence in serviceAlways performed after leak repair or component replacement and before charging.​Done only after successful evacuation and leak verification.​
