PURON®—QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
• Puron® refrigerant operates at 50-70 percent higher pressures than R-22. Be sure that servicing equipment and replacement components are
designed to operate with Puron®.
• Puron® refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
• Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT 4BW400.
• Puron® systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant only. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold hose when charging into
suction line with compressor operating.
• Manifold sets should be minimum 700 psig high side and minimum 180 psig low side with 550 psig low-side retard.
• Use hoses with minimum 700 psig service pressure rating.
• Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.
• Puron®, as with other HFCs, is only compatible with POE oils.
• POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.
• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
• Do not use liquid-line filter driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.
• Do not install a suction-line filter drier in liquid line.
• Wrap all filter driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.
• A factory apporved liquid-line filter drier is required on every Puron® unit.
• Do NOT use an R-22 TXV.
• If indoor unit is equipped with an R-22 TXV, it must be changed to a Puron® TXV.
• Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.
• When system must be opened for service, recover refrigerant then break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace filter driers. Evacuate to 500
microns prior to recharging.
• Do not vent Puron® into the atmosphere.
• Do not use on capillary coils.
• Observe all warnings, cautions, and bold text.
