Airtight test
After the refrigerant piping has finished, execute an airtight test. For an airtight test, connect a nitrogen gas bomb as
shown in the figure below, and apply pressure.
• Be sure to apply pressure from the service ports of the packed valves (or ball valves) at liquid side, gas side, and
balance pipe side.
• An airtight test can be only performed to the service ports at liquid side, gas side, and balance side of the header
unit.
• Close fully valves at liquid side, gas side, and balance side. As there is possibility that nitrogen gas enters in the
refrigerant cycle, re-tighten the valve rods before applying pressure. (Re-tightening of the valve rods are
unnecessary for valves at gas side of MMY-MAP0501
• For each refrigerant line, apply pressure gradually with steps at liquid side, gas side, and balance side.
Be sure to apply pressure to liquid side, gas side, and balance side.
Never use "Oxygen", "Flammable gas" and "Noxious gas" in an airtight test.

STEP 1 : Apply pressure 0.3MPa (3.0kg/cm
STEP 2 : Apply pressure 1.5MPa (15kg/cm
STEP 3 : Apply pressure 3.73MPa (38kg/cm
• Check pressure down.
No pressure down: Accepted

However, if there is difference of ambient temp. between when pressure has been applied and when

24 hours passed, pressure changes by approx. 0.01MPa (0.1kg/cm²G) per 1°C. Correct the pressure.
Leaked position check
When a pressure-down is detected in STEP 1, STEP 2, or STEP 3, check the leakage at the connecting points.
Check leakage with hearing sense, feeler, foaming agent, etc, and perform re-brazing or re-tightening of flare if
leakage is detected.
