Bryan goes deep into how to evacuate an AC system, covering the full vacuum procedure. He explains how to connect vacuum pumps, micron gauges, remove cores, and much more to show you start to finish how to pull a deep vacuum on any air conditioner or refrigeration equipment.
This video is a collaboration with Paul from The Engineering Mindset channel. Check out Paul's video on how a vacuum pump works here: • Vacuum Pumps Explained...
The goal of a deep vacuum is to get EVERYTHING out of the system, including non-condensable gases, oxygen, water vapor, and other contaminants in the air. There isn't really such a thing as a true "vacuum," which is the absence of molecules; however, the vacuum pump creates negative pressure, which forces molecules to move towards the area of lower pressure. We measure vacuum in tiny units called microns; one micron is equivalent to one-MILLIONTH of a meter of mercury column. Atmospheric pressure is equivalent to 762,000 microns, and the vacuum pump should pull below 500 microns.
Before we even hook up a vacuum pump, we need to make sure we have a clean, dry, and tight system that's free of solid and liquid contaminants. To do that, make sure your copper is sealed and that you are purging with nitrogen and flowing it while brazing. The system also needs to be leak-free before you connect the vacuum pump, and you can verify that a system is leak-free with a pressure test and a bubble test at joints. Eventually, the decay test will reveal microscopic leaks, which is normal.
For best results, use a modern two-stage vacuum pump, large-diameter vacuum hoses (greater than 1/4" and not a manifold or refrigerant hose), a core remover tool, and a high-quality vacuum gauge that reads in the micron scale. You also need to check the vacuum pump oil level and quality; change the oil if it's opaque or the level is low. Then, connect the micron gauge to the pump and pull below 50 microns to confirm that the pump is working. It's also a good idea to utilize the gas ballast when you're working on a potentially wet system. A system that's known to have water in it can benefit from the use of a heat gun to speed up the boiling process under low pressure.
To connect to the system, make sure there's no pressure on the system. Use the core removal tools to remove the cores from the system. From there, you can use a one-hose setup or two-hose setup to attach the pump. If you're pulling a vacuum on the evaporator and line set, a one-hose setup will suffice. However, a two-hose setup is ideal if you're pulling a vacuum on the entire system. After you remove the core from the side you're pulling the vacuum from, remove the end of the tool and connect the hose. Connect the hose back to the vacuum pump and attach your micron gauge to the system (as far away from the pump as possible); you can use a brass adapter with a core depressor to attach the micron gauge.
Then, you pull the system below 500 microns and isolate the system by shutting off the core remover tool. You will then do your decay test, where you make sure the system pressure doesn't rise. In general, pulling below 500 microns, isolating for 10 minutes, and making sure the pressure doesn't rise above 1000 microns will suffice; we pull below 300 microns and make sure the pressure doesn't exceed 500 microns in 10 minutes. However, the sensor in the micron gauge can be affected by refrigerant and can give strange numbers. (You can break the vacuum with nitrogen to stop that.)
There are some myths about pulling fast, deep vacuums. One myth is that you'll freeze water in the system, and the other is that you'll damage the oil by pulling too deep. POE oil actually requires a very deep vacuum, and you won't damage the oil unless you pull below 1 micron. You CAN freeze water in a vacuum, but there is usually enough heat in the HVAC system to prevent that from happening.

I'm going to be working in "startup" for hvac and this video; was so much more in depth than anything else I found online. This man took the time to explain every process of how to do it. At the same time explains why you do what you do. While everyone elses videos. they said some really wrong information that I lowkey at first thought was like okay its part of the job. This man with his videos basically called out these other "hvac tutorial lessons" and made them look like a work of fiction. I will be working my way down the entire playlist of 88 videos. Thank you so very much for your time, your explanations, and your brain power to help others succeed. Thank you sincerely. I'm a man who has earned everything himself no hand outs.. so this makes me feel respected as a newcomer trying to learn the trade, versus the other guys making me feel like i can ignore real problems and move on to get paid for doing a crap job. You are certainly a cut above.

Bryan, Great video explanation on how to properly set up equipment for evacuation. I once had to evacuate a low temperature drier used in a leather tannery. We had to install a new coil, which the factory had pressure tested with water. Multiple evacuations and multiple oil changes over several days just to get the coil dry. It also helps, when dealing with a wet system, to do partial evacuations, breaking the vacuums with DRY nitrogen which, will soak up some of the moisture. Also slow DRY nitrogen purge, before evacuation is started will help speed things up. Not all nitrogen is DRY. I once used up a small nitrogen cylinder, and opened the valve an inverted it when it was empty, and water ran out!

Basically exactly what I do. The only thing I might do different is if I'm working on a system that is flat to start. In this case I hook up a charging hose with an isolation valve at the end hooked up to the port on the core tool with the valve closed, with the hose charged with refrigerant. The reason I do this is to not loose any vacuum after I do my pull down and decay test while hooking up a hose. This allows me to go straight from the decay test to charging.

Great Tips and explanations for beginners and refreshers for the old timers too. Carrier doesnt advocate running your refrigerant lines underground though. i use CRTs on both sides of the unit and attach the 1/4" hoses to the side ports on the Appion CRTs that i have removed the cores from and pull from both sides into a 3/8" and the yellow 1/4" hoses attached to the Vacuum Pump, with the Micron Gauge attached to the Vapor side of the unit on the end port of the CRTs. In doing this i can isolate the system with the valves on my hoses and do the standing test and then once i know the system is good i can reopen my valves continue to pull a further vacuum. Close the valve on the CRT that is attached to the Vapor side and remove the Micron Gauge and then immediately replace it with the core that i had removed from the condenser and either critical charge the system before i release the refrigerant in the condenser. Basicly i can replace the cores and do what is needed without having to mess with anything other than taking a micron gauge off and switching it with the core all the while pulling an even deeper vacuum. My systems are always pulled down to 89 Microns and end a (seven minute standing test - Carrier Specs) between 180-230 Microns. Great Video though loved the detail and how much you know about this trade. Just wanted to lend my opinion on the hose setup and how its a little more convenient and will still end with the same result.

I really appreciate your tutorials. I stumbled on a nifty procedure to help eliminate moisture in a system I’d like to share since your speaking on the subject of nitrogen and moisture; I had a situation where line set had been cut at condenser for a change out and left open- uncovered overnight and it rained hard that night. I had installed a site glass with moisture indicator ring and reached a vacuum of 500 microns, but my moisture indicator was still very pink( high moisture content). I tried multiple evacuations as per described in this video and frantically searched forums. It was the end of the day now, as I’d removed and replaced the 3rd floor apartments inside and outside units by myself. In desperation, I charged the unit with 200 psi of nitrogen and let it sit overnight ( I didn’t run across this exercise anywhere I looked). The following morning, I pulled a vacuum again and in very short time my moisture indicator went to green ( dry ). Pulled to little over 300 microns and all’s well. Cheers!

Hey, this is great! This is long for a KZbin video, but short and very snappy for a LECTURE. I feel like I'm back in school, in a good way. I'm here for general technical interest, have worked with vacuum systems in general, and also Neon. Slowly becoming aware that what we're doing when making a Neon tube has some overlap with what people are doing with the HVAC vacuum pumps there.... I've been looking at that gear my whole life and never really understood what people were trying to do with those gauges. Now halfway through one video it seems surprisingly clear! I'm sure this is a simplified presentation and don't want to mess it up, (but) at 18:30 or so, talking about slight rises in pressure, there are little leaks of course, but then there are "virtual leaks" which are not in software, no! They are what we deal with all day in Neon, or in other high-vacuum work. It's well known that when you exhaust something with a mechanical pump your troubles have just begun! So, a quick evacuation can remove the bulk water, but there's still LOTS of water sort of stuck to the surfaces inside the system, and it takes some force to get it out. Either LOTS of heat (you hint at this with the heat gun), or electric discharge (as in Neon processing) or TIME. So you could evacuate a system for a long time with a high vacuum pump, and it WILL "harden" in time. This information is a few generations old now, but not widely advertised. Anyway, the time for a system to degas itself under high vacuum might be DAYS if there's no heat involved. SO, trying to put all that into like one sentence: It might be that if you do everything right, clean and tight, fresh oil in the pump and everything... there will be some rise in the vacuum and NOTHING is leaking. Hey, don't you guys have "dryers" in the system to take care of these last few molecules? Anyway, I thought that might be good news, and also it's just something that's a big issue in my own life right now. Thanks for this dynamic and clear explanation! I'm going to finish the video now.

That was an excellent tutorial of a complete residential HVAC system. Other than when a system has been repaired it's my understanding that there would be no leaks other than a small leak at the presser compressor when the clutch engages and disengages, as in an automotive, HVAC set up. in theory, we know that a perfectly sealed system will last indefinitely as long as the mechanical components remain in working condition. And example of that would be your parents refrigerator from the 1950s or 60s. They're still going because there's less components a.k.a. no sensors no crap. There's only one part the compressor and possibly a fan to blow the air through the refrigerator. Those systems back, then were all done by hand, rather than buy machine or robot, decreasing chances of our unintentional leak from a weld joint etc. I know nowadays time is money and the air-conditioning systems of today while more efficient. Yes that comes at a cost of quality. I feel that if I repair is done correctly as per an automotive HVAC system. There should be no microscopic leaks other than the microscopic small leak at the compressor clutch being driven by the Engines serpentine belt, which drives many other accessories as well. It's not uncommon for an automotive HVAC system to go 15 sometimes 20 years before it starts to become low on refrigerant if the maintenance has kept up and what not. Does that theory hold through with modern residential HVAC systems when compared to the 1950s and 60s large, inefficient yet bulletproof HVAC systems? As always keep up the good work!

THANK YOU!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO TEACH THE (PROPER VACUUM) TECHNIQUE!!! Just one thing though.. You (MUST) use a VCT on the vacuum gauge side to avoid the oil contamination on the micron gauge!! Once satisfied after "ISOLATION", shut off the vct and remove the micron gauge, once you are ready to put core in, you can purge some refrigerant just to make sure no air is in the core tool before you put the core in after vacuum gauge is removed! TIP 1: When pulling vacuum on "USED SYSTEM", Isolate when vacuum micron drop stalls, if the micron gauge drops during the vacuum isolation it is a indication of water or refrigerant trapped in old oil remaining which means you need to reopen VCT/VACUUM and let vacuum resume for longer time to try and boil said water off from oil... TIP 2: NEW LINE SETS HAVE (NOTHING) IN THEM!!!! So on a brand new system install you can pull a vacuum as (LOW AS YOU WISH TO GO) because the actual line set copper and evaporator has nothing but "TEST NITROGEN" and nothing more!! GO AS LOW AS YOU CAN FOR LONGEVITY I.E 25 MICRONS!!! The lower the better!! WELL DONE BRIAN!! WELL DONE INDEED!

iconbadgta vct on micron gauge side isn’t a must if it’s able to handle pressure like the one shown. The angled coupler is what protects from possible oil contamination. If the sensor does get contaminated, a little rubbing alcohol is all that’s needed to get the sensor back as good as new

Wow, One of the best evacuation procedure videos I've seen in a long time. The ONLY thing I would add (sorry if I missed it) is to clear the air behind the "ball" on the ball values by actuating them (close and open) a few time when

I’ll admit it, I haven’t used nitrogen to pressure check a system since I’ve gotten trublu hoses and a vp85 vacuum pump because I can tell on a residential split system if it is leak free in a matter of about 1 minute instead of 20 to 2-3 days. The other thing that has screwed with me before too is the fact the nitrogen is not as inert as people think and if you pressure test a system overnight and it’s colder the next day you may waste a significant amount of time tracking down a leak that doesn’t exist.

Awesome videos. I heard you say in one of them that you were in Florida, so I went and looked up Kalos Services and got excited when I saw you had a 352 area code. Unfortunately , you don't service my area (Citrus County). Bummer. But again, awesome videos! I certainly appreciate all the information.
