GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Refrigerant Properties —
HCFC-22 and HFC-134a
are the standard refrigerants in the 23XL. At normal atmo-
spheric pressure, HCFC-22 will boil at −41 F (−40.5 C) and
HFC-134a will boil at −14 F (−25 C), and must, therefore,
be kept in pressurized containers or storage tanks. The re-
frigerants are practically odorless when mixed with air. Both
refrigerants are non-combustible at atmospheric pressure. Read
the Material Safety Data Sheet and the latest ASHRAE Safety
Guide for Mechanical Refrigeration to learn more about safely
handling of these refrigerants.
HCFC-22 and HFC-134a will dissolve oil and some non-
metallic materials, dry the skin, and, in heavy concen-
trations, may displace enough oxygen to cause asphyxi-
ation. In handling this refrigerant, protect the hands and
eyes and avoid breathing fumes.
Adding Refrigerant — Follow the procedures de-
scribed in the Charge Refrigerant into Machine section,
page 55.
Always use the compressor pumpdown function in the
Control Test mode to turn on the evaporator pump and
lock out the compressor when transferring refrigerant.
Liquid refrigerant may flash into a gas and cause pos-
sible freeze-up when the machine pressure is below
65 psig (448 kPa) [30 psig (207 kPa)].
Removing Refrigerant — If the optional pumpout sys-
tem is used, the 23XL refrigerant charge may be transferred
to a storage vessel or within the condenser or cooler if iso-
lation valves are present. Follow procedures in the Pumpout
and Refrigerant Transfer Procedures section when removing
refrigerant from the storage tank to the machine.
Adjusting the Refrigerant Charge — If the addi-
tion or removal of refrigerant is required for improved ma-
chine performance, follow the procedures given under the
Trim Refrigerant Charge section, on page 64.
Refrigerant Leak Testing — Because HCFC-22 and
HFC-134a are above atmospheric pressure at room tempera-
ture, leak testing can be performed with refrigerant in the
machine. Use an electronic leak detector, halide leak detec-
tor, soap bubble solution, or ultra-sonic leak detector. Be sure
that the room is well ventilated and free from concentration
of refrigerant to keep false readings to a minimum. Before
making any necessary repairs to a leak, transfer all refrig-
erant from the leaking vessel.
