The contractor shall then pressurize the entire York chiller with dry-nitrogen to a pressure of 150-180 PSI using Refrigerant-22 as a tracer in order to thoroughly leak test all fittings, joints, valves and other areas that could leak. A written inventory of all leaks shall be made and options for repairing leaks discussed with the Operations Foreman and a representative of Engineering Department (Bill Sullivan or David Duncan). The best methods for repairing leaks will be determined. The leaks will be repaired and tested again under a pressure of 150 ? 180 PSI with a tracer of R-22. After it has been determined that the York Screw Machine is leak free, the entire chiller is to be evacuated to remove all nitrogen and non-condensable gases from machine. This vacuum is to be broken by adding Refrigerant-22 to a pressure of 10-15 PSI. The chiller shall be evacuated and the vacuum broken with R-22, two more times to insure all moisture and non-condensable are out of the chiller before the final charge of R-22 is added.
