Bitzer Refrigeration Liquid Receiver FS3102

Open all shut-off valves and solenoid valves

Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the entire system, including the compressor, on the suction side and the high pressure side

Check if a 'standing vacuum' lower than 1.5 mbar is achieved with the vacuum pump shut off

Repeat the evacuation operation if necessary

Risk of damage to the motor and compressor: Do not start the compressor while it is in a vacuum! Do not apply any voltage, not even for testing!

4.7 Mounting included accessory

Fit the accessories best before commissioning.

Check connection positions for the included accessory in chapter Connections, page 38.

Check tightening torques of screws in chapter Mind when mounting or replacing, page 54 and following chapters.

After mounting, check pressure equipment for tightness.

Shut off all inlets and outlets of the pressure equipment into which something is to be installed.

Depressurise the pressure equipment.

Handling Flammable Refrigerants

Dispose of used oil in an environmentally friendly manner

Fill used oil into pressure resistant vessels

Fill vessels with nitrogen as a protective gas and close them

Mark vessels with the warning sign 'flammable substance' W021 from ISO7010

Check for abnormal vibrations in the system, particularly the pipelines and capillary tubes.

Were additional safety measures required due to vibrations?

Ensure no strong vibrations are present to avoid risk of burst pipes and leakages.

Connect the pipes to the pressure equipment without load and stress to prevent mechanical stress.

Verify the following components were tested in the factory as a single part

Test the tightness of the connections and pipe works after installation

Test the refrigerant circuit for tightness according to EN378-2 or equivalent standards

Enter the overpressure applied during the test (preferably using dry nitrogen)

Did the pressure applied during the test exceed the maximum permitted values?

Enter the test pressure (1.1-fold of the maximum allowable pressure) as per the name plate
