Refrigerant Conversion Procedures
Refrigerators - RS1, RS2, RS3
Converting R-402B to R-22
CAUTION
Use only R22 as a retrofit refrigerant. Other
replacement refrigerants may cause poor
performance and/or component failure.
Equipment Modification Requirements
Component Change Required
Compressor None - No oil
change Required
Capillary Tube None
High Pressure Cutout None
Fan Cycling Control
(air-cooled)
None
Heat Exchanger None
Electrical Wiring None
Branch Circuit Fuse
Size
None
Air-Cooled
Condenser
None
Evaporator None
Refrigerant Charge Same amount as old
R-402B charge
PERFORMANCE AFTER CONVERSION
• Operating discharge (high side) pressure -
Air-cooled models will run 20-70 psig
lower than with R-402B
• Operating suction (low side) pressure -
Will run 0-20 psig lower than with
R-402B
• Interior cabinet temperature - remains the
same as with R-402B
Refer to R-22 specification chart on page 6-6.
PROCEDURE
1. Recover R-402B refrigerant from the
Reach-In in accordance with local and
national governing laws.
2. Refer to the “Equipment Modification
Requirements” chart on this page.
3. Remove and replace the liquid line filter
drier. Use only a Manitowoc-approved
OEM filter drier.
NOTE: The compressor oil does not require
changing.
4. Evacuate the Reach-In. (For procedure,
refer to page 6-13.)
5. Charge the Reach-In with R-22
refrigerant. The system charge is identical
to the R-402B (HP 81) charge listed on
the model/serial number tag.
NOTE: Charge with liquid only into the high
side of the Reach-In. Use the weighing in
method or “Dial-a-Charge.” Refer to page
6-14.
6. Remove the R-402B (HP 81) labels from
the compressor and near the front of the
control box. Do not remove the
model/serial number tags.
7. Attach a conversion label next to each
serial number plate and next to the service
valves or the front of the control box.
Important
Write the service company name and
conversion date on each label.
8. Start the Reach-In. Verify that it operates
properly.
