Professional Application Protocol (For Certified Technicians Only)

WARNING: R-600a is a flammable refrigerant (ASHRAE A3 Safety Class). To be used by qualified and certified HVAC/R technicians only. Follow all OEM service procedures and safety precautions.

Safety First: Ensure the system is powered off and locked out. Work in a well-ventilated area, eliminate all potential ignition sources, and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves.
Tool & Equipment Check: Use only tools and equipment specifically rated for use with hydrocarbon refrigerants (e.g., hydrocarbon-rated recovery machine, non-sparking hand tools, proper ventilation fans).
System Access: Connect a hydrocarbon-rated can tap valve and charging hose to the R-600a service can.
Connect to System: Attach the charging hose to the low-pressure service port of the refrigeration system. Purge the air from the charging line.
Charge with Precision: Invert the can to charge as a liquid. Accurately charge the system by weight based on the manufacturer’s specified charge amount. DO NOT charge by pressure or sight glass.
Avoid Overcharging: R-600a systems require a significantly smaller charge weight than HFC systems. Overcharging will lead to poor performance and create a safety hazard.
Leak Check & Disposal: After charging, perform a thorough leak check. Use a hydrocarbon-specific electronic leak detector to scan the system for potential leaks. To visually confirm and pinpoint the exact source, apply Vapco’s Bird Dog liquid leak detector to all joints and fittings. Once the system is confirmed to be leak-free, unscrew your service tool; the canister’s resealable top will preserve the remaining refrigerant for future use. Store the canister in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.
