From that position further tighten the flare nut to the anglelisted below:9.2. Brazing guidelines Make sure to blow through with nitrogen when brazing.Blowing through with nitrogen prevents the creation of largequantities of oxidized film on the inside of the piping. An oxidizedfilm adversely affects valves and compressors in therefrigerating system and prevents proper operation. The nitrogen pressure should be set to 0.02 MPa (i.e., justenough so it can be felt on the skin) with a pressure-reducingvalve.1 Refrigerant piping2 Part to be brazed3 Taping4 Manual valve5 Pressure-reducing valve6 Nitrogen Do not use anti-oxidants when brazing the pipe joints.Residue can clog pipes and break equipment. Do not use flux when brazing copper-to-copper refrigerantpiping. Use phosphor copper brazing filler alloy (BCuP) whichdoes not require flux. Flux has an extremely harmful influence on refrigerant pipingsystems. For instance, if chlorine based flux is used, it will causepipe corrosion or, in particular, if the flux contains fluorine, it willdeteriorate the refrigerant oil.9.3. Stop valve operationCautions on handling the stop valve Make sure to keep both stop valves open during operation. The figure below shows the name of each part required inhandling the stop valve. The stop valve is factory closed. Do not apply excessive force to the valve stem. Doing so maybreak the valve body. Since the stop valve attachment plate may be deformed if only atorque wrench is used to loosen or tighten the flare nut, alwaysmake sure to secure the stop valve with a spanner, then loosenor tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench.Do not place the spanner on the stem cap, as this could cause arefrigerant leak. When it is expected that the operating pressure will be low (forexample, when cooling will be performed while the outside airtemperature is low), sufficiently seal the flare nut in the stopvalve on the gas line with silicon sealant to prevent freezing.Opening/closing the stop valveOpening the stop valve1.
