AC-2Air Conditioning SystemIntroduction
In case the liquid refrigerant enters into the eye or touches the
skin, the following measures shall be taken:
Wash the part where is touched by the refrigerant with a
great deal of water.
Coat the skin with the clean Vaseline.
See the doctor or go to the hospital for treatment; and
Do not try to cure it yourself.
General Introduction
1. Take notice when handling refrigerant General Introduction
(a) Do not handling with refrigerant in the closed room or
near to open fire.
(b) Safety goggles shall be worn when handling
(c) Be careful to avoid the liquid refrigerant from entering
into your eye or touching you skin.

ÅçåÇÉåëÉêplug
2. Take notice when changing the parts of refrigerant pipes:
(a) The refrigerant shall be exhausted gradually before
changing.
(b) The dismantled parts shall be covered with plug right
away so as to prevent the water or dust from entering into
the system.
(c) Do not store the condenser or liquid tank under the
condition that the plug has been uncovered. and
(d) Refrigerant shall be exhausted before installing the new
condenser, because the refrigerant, if not exhausted, will
eject out in gaseous form with the lubricant oil when the
plug is moved away.
3. Take notice when fastening the connection parts:
(a) Spread a little lubricant oil at the matching position of the
O-type ring to fasten the connection and avoid of gaseous
refrigerant leakage.
(b) Fasten the nut with two spanners so as to avoid of the pipe
deformation.

Check to see whether there is leakage in observation window,
fusible plug and joints;
Conduct the inspection with the gas leakage detector and, if
necessary, repair or change the liquid tank.
Dismantle of Liquid Tank
1. Exhaust the refrigerant;
2. Tear down the two liquid pipes from the liquid tank;
Remark: the opened joint should be plugged with cork so as to
prevent the humid air from entering into the system.
3. Tear down the liquid tank from the tank bracket.
Mount of Liquid Tank
1. Mount the liquid tank on the liquid tank bracket;
Remark: the cover of joint should not be take down before
connecting the pipe;
2. Connect the two liquid pipes to the liquid tank;
