PURON® (R–410A) 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 BW400.
• Puron® systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold hose when
charging into suction line with compressor operating
• Manifold sets should be 700 psig high side and 180 psig low side with 550 psig low-side retard. • Use hoses with 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.
• 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 leave Puron® suction line filter driers in line longer than 72 hours.
• Do not install a suction-line filter drier in liquid line.
• POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.
• POE Oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.
• Wrap all filter driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.
• A factory approved liquid-line filter drier is required on every 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, evacuate 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 capillary tube coils.
• Observe all warnings, cautions, and bold text.
