5.            Sequence of Activities


5.1 Installation Procedure
                  
                    5.1.1 Check approval of working drawings.
                    5.1.2 Check size and route of piping for laying refrigerant pipe as per
                             approved drawing.
                    5.1.3 Install the supports for pipe and check the levels.
                    5.1.4 Clean thoroughly the outer face of the pipe and inner face of pipes
                             & fittings by air blowing or brushing.
                    5.1.5 Prior to copper joint brazing all cuts ends and particularly those
                             immediately upstream of devices should be completely de-burred
                             and any distortion in bore diameter shall be rectified.  
                   5.1.6 Install the refrigerant pipe care should be taken to ensure that flow
                            and regulating devices (filter/drier, sight glass, solenoid valves,
                            isolation valves (only for large capacity units) are installed correctly
                            with respected to flow of direction.
                   5.1.7 Flush the entire pipe system with nitrogen gas at 150~200psig to
                            remove all debris inside the pipe.
                   5.1.8 Carry out the pressure test by using Nitrogen gas at 250 psi for
                            24 Hrs. for check the leakage and soap solution will be applied in case
                            of leak.
                   5.1.9 Record the readings in the pressure test report.
                   5.1.10 Provide pipe insulation and cladding for external refrigerant pipe with
                              the specified insulation material.
                   5.1.11 Vacuum the system to 29 in. HG for 24hrs.
                   5.1.12 Break the vacuum using refrigerant, raise pressure to zero (0) then
                              vacuum again for 24hrs.
                   5.1.13 Charge the system with refrigerant up to its standing pressure
                              (operation pressure).
                   5.1.14 System is ready for start-up, commissioning and record the data.
