Speaker: Junior Polycape
Hello, my name is Junior and I’m here with HVAC Technical Academy and I’m going to be showing you on how a vacuum pump operates.
So, here we have one of the main component that we will need to pull the vacuum which is this vacuum pump itself. And then we have our gauges set right here which will be used as hoses to go inside of the liquid line and vapor side of the condenser.
Now, we pull a vacuum on a condenser system. And the reason why is to get any debris, any kind of noncondensible out of the system before we add refrigerant into it.
And now, how you would need to do it would be right here. We’ll press this button. All of my things already set over here. So, all I will need to do is turn it on, open up my gear, Now, as you can hear, it kind of stopped.
Now, here we do have a gas valid. And the gas valid is just to basically remove any moisture that’s within stuck the condenser. So, what we would need to do is pull it up a little bit. Not too much. You don’t want you don’t want to get it out too much cuz it might damage the vacuum itself.
All right. Now, before pulling it, you will want to make sure that all of your equipment is set up right and tight so that the vacuum can be pulled fully.
Now, if you come over here, it shows on how much is being pulled. Now, through EPA regulation, you want it to be 500 microns or less.
Now, these are the holes where the vacuum is being pulled going to the little cylinder right here and being pulled out of the system out of this big vacuum hose into the vacuum pump and out into the air.
Now, right here, we do have a little oil thermometer right here. And this is just to show you how much oil is within your system. And this oil is used to basically and how could I say that for you guys not let any of the components within the vacuum wear and tear and over time it will go down. So you do need to check it every single time that you are pulling a vacuum.
And this is Junior and I just showed you on how to pull a vacuum.
