The past few weeks have been exciting as our recent group of HVAC workshop participants have been installing systems, rebuilding, recovering, troubleshooting, and much more. With that, let’s get back to our vacuum pump down in detail.
Vacuum Evacuation and Monitoring
Evacuation: Once the system is prepared, technicians turn on the vacuum pump to start the evacuation process. The vacuum pump removes air and moisture from the system by creating a negative pressure environment, causing the trapped gases and moisture to be expelled through the pump’s exhaust.
Monitoring: Technicians monitor the vacuum level using vacuum gauges or digital vacuum meters throughout the evacuation process. The goal is to achieve and maintain a deep vacuum, typically below 500 microns, for a specified period. This ensures that the system is thoroughly evacuated, and the risk of moisture and air contamination is minimized..
During our 6-week workshops you will learn the proper strategies to pump down systems as we develop YOUR HVAC Clarity, Choice, Confidence, and Competence.
