29. Carefully remove accumulator without disturbing pipe alignment and place on workbench.
30. Use a permanent marker to mark accumulator and four pipes before removing pipes from accumulator.
31. Remove four pipes from accumulator.
WARNING
Many of the chemicals used while soldering are toxic. Avoid prolonged exposure to
fumes. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Failure to wear proper protective
clothing may result in skin irritation and/or serious eye injury. Wash hands with soap
and water after handling solder. If inhaled, move soldier to fresh air and seek medical
attention. If contact with skin or eyes is made, wash with clean water and seek
medical attention.
CAUTION
Use care when soldering and desoldering components into the system so as not to
overheat the component being soldered or surrounding components. Wrapping the
components to be soldered in wet rags will act as a heat sink and minimize exposure
to heat.
32. Solder one 1-1/8-inch accumulator to CPR valve refrigerant pipe (Figure 3, Item 4) to accumulator (Figure 1,
Item 3).
33. Solder one 1-1/8-inch accumulator to elbow refrigerant pipe (Figure 3, Item 5) to accumulator (Figure 3, Item 3).
34. Solder one 1/2-inch accumulator to vibrasorber refrigerant pipe (Figure 3, Item 1) to accumulator (Figure 3,
Item 3).
35. Solder one 1/2-inch coupling into 1/2-inch accumulator to vibrasorber refrigerant pipe (Figure 3, Item 1).
36. Solder one 3/8-inch accumulator to filter drier refrigerant pipe (Figure 3, Item 2) to accumulator (Figure 3,
Item 3).
37. Carefully install accumulator (Figure 2, Item 25) with refrigerant piping attached into refrigeration unit and align
accumulator piping with refrigeration unit piping.
NOTE
Make sure pipes are properly aligned before soldering.
38. Use a heat shield where required in order to protect surrounding components, hoses, and/or wiring, and solder
in 1 1/8-inch pipe (Figure 2, Item 27) at elbow (Figure 2, Item 28).
39. Wrap CPR valve (Figure 4, Item 8) with wet rags to serve as a heat sink and use a heat shield where required
in order to protect surrounding components, hoses, and/or wiring.
40. Solder 1 1/8-inch refrigerant pipe (Figure 4, Item 24) in between accumulator (Figure 4, Item 25) and CPR valve
(Figure 4, Item 8) at flared fitting (Figure 4, Item 26) location.
41. Solder 1/2-inch refrigerant pipe (Figure 4, Item 14) into evaporator vibrasorber (Figure 4, Item 22) at cut location
(Figure 4, Item 23).
