Leakage test and vacuum

Leak test
Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7kgf/cm
hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the nitrogen leaks. For the test method, refer to
the following figure. (Make a test with the service valves closed. Be also sure to pressurize liquid pipe, gas pipe and
high/low pressure common pipe). The test result can be judged good if the pressure has not be reduced after leaving
for about one day after completion of nitrogen gas pressurization.

Note:
If the ambient temperature differs between the time when pressure is applied and when the pressure drop is
checked, apply the following correction factor
There is a pressure change of approximately 0.1 kg/cm
Correction= (Temp. at the time of pressurization – Temp. at the time of check) X 0.1
For example: Temperature at the time of pressurization (3.8 MPa) is 27 °C
24 hour later: 3.73 MPa, 20°C
In this case the pressure drop of 0.07 is because of temperature drop
And hence there is no leakage in pipe occurred.
To prevent the nitrogen from entering the refrigeration system in the liquid state, the top of the
cylinder must be at higher position than the bottom when you pressurize the system.
Usually the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
