Severe Moisture Ingress (Repeated Drier Blockage)

Likely causes

Excessive atmospheric exposure during service

Check: Recover all refrigerant

What to do: Recover all refrigerant → Install two driers in series or replace with oversized drier → Perform triple evacuation (vacuum–break–re-evacuate × 3) → Hold final vacuum ≤200 μm Hg for 30 minutes → Recharge and check moisture indicator

Moisture not removed from new piping (triple evacuation not performed)

Check: Install two driers in series or replace with oversized drier

What to do: Install two driers in series or replace with oversized drier → Perform triple evacuation (vacuum–break–re-evacuate × 3) → Hold final vacuum ≤200 μm Hg for 30 minutes → Recharge and check moisture indicator

Field tip

Moisture level is very high. Full circuit cleaning and extended evacuation required. POE oil (R404A/R410A circuits) is extremely hygroscopic. Minimize open time and evacuate immediately.
