TM 9-4110-257-14 5-13. REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PRESSURE CHECK. This task covers: a.  Full Charge b.  Partial Charge INITIAL SETUP Equipment Conditions: Service manifold installed (para. 5-6). Testing. (1)   Check that all four service manifold valves are closed. (2)   Service manifold compound and pressure gauges should indicate the same pressure.  Check the reading with the appropriate column in Table 5-1.  If the system is even partially charged, the pressure should be approximately equal to that shown in the table for the appropriate ambient temperature.  If the pressure is considerably less than shown in the table, the system does not contain enough refrigerant to continue the pressure check.  Leak test the refrigeration system (para. 5-10). WARNING Engines have fast moving parts that can injure hands, fingers, etc.  Take special  care  while  in  operation.    Engine  parts,  particularly  the  exhaust system, can be very hot and cause severe burns. (3)   Turn the refrigeration unit on (para. 2-5) and operate at desired setting. (4)   With the refrigeration unit operating, allow service manifold gauges to stabilize.  Compare readings with those listed in Table 5-2. (a)   If discharge and suction pressure are at, or near, the same value, defrost solenoid valve (L2) or compressor (B1) failure is indicated. (b)   If discharge pressure is low and suction pressure is normal, a low refrigerant charge is indicated. (c)   If discharge pressure is normal and suction pressure is either high, or low, failure of the expansion valve is indicated. (d)   If discharge pressure is high and suction pressure is normal, refrigerant overcharge is indicated. (5)   When pressure tests are completed, turn the refrigeration unit off (para. 2-7). 5-28
