Application

Vacuum pumps for evacuating and filling refrigeration, air-conditioning and brake systems

Refrigeration circuits, air-conditioning systems and hydraulic brake systems are evacuated before filling: the vacuum pump removes air and moisture from the closed system so that no gas bubbles remain when it is filled with refrigerant or brake fluid. According to Leybold, leak detection and repair under vacuum are part of this on the production line. Below you can see how the application works, what vacuum the manufacturers name and which of their series are intended for it – 198 models from 4 manufacturers.

In short

Evacuation and charging (refrigeration, air conditioning, brakes): the key facts

  • Target vacuumAccording to Leybold, cooling circuits are evacuated on the production line before refrigerant charging, and the target vacuum is usually below 0.1 mbar; Leybold names TRIVAC B, TRIVAC T, NEO D and RUVAC WAU as well as the PHOENIX leak detector.
  • BrakesAccording to Leybold, the brake system is pre-evacuated before it is filled with DOT fluid so that no gas bubbles remain – with TRIVAC B DOT, 16–40 m³/h. For evacuating brake and air-conditioning lines before filling, Busch names R5.
  • Leak tightnessPfeiffer Vacuum describes integral leak testing under vacuum down to ≤10⁻⁹ mbar·l/s for air-conditioning, hydraulic, tank and battery systems (DuoVane, HiLobe); Leybold names leak detection and repair under vacuum.
  • RepairAccording to Leybold, leaking circuits are pumped out before repair, often with explosion protection – Leybold names TRIVAC B ATEX for this.

Operating principle

How it works: Evacuation and charging (refrigeration, air conditioning, brakes)

The drawing shows the basic principle in section. The systems and pumps of the individual manufacturers differ in detail.

  1. EvacuationThe circuit is pumped out on the production line until the target vacuum is reached – according to Leybold usually below 0.1 mbar; according to Leybold, brake systems are pre-evacuated before they are filled with DOT fluid.
  2. TestingThe system is tested for leak tightness under vacuum: Leybold names leak detection and repair under vacuum, Pfeiffer Vacuum integral leak testing down to ≤10⁻⁹ mbar·l/s.
  3. FillingRefrigerant (Leybold: TRIVAC, NEO D) or brake fluid (Leybold: TRIVAC B DOT; Busch: R5) flows into the evacuated system; with no residual air left, no gas bubbles remain.

Vacuum and sizing

Evacuation and charging (refrigeration, air conditioning, brakes): how much vacuum is needed

What the manufacturers say about pressure, pumping speed and sizing.

Which vacuum

For refrigerators and air-conditioning systems Leybold names a target vacuum of usually below 0.1 mbar. For integral leak testing Pfeiffer Vacuum names leak rates down to ≤10⁻⁹ mbar·l/s.

Which pumping speed

For filling hydraulic vehicle brakes Leybold names TRIVAC B DOT with 16–40 m³/h. For refrigeration circuits the pumping speed depends on the volume of the system and the cycle time on the production line.

What the manufacturers point out

For emptying leaking circuits before repair, often with explosion protection, Leybold names TRIVAC B ATEX; the English Leybold page on SOGEVAC B also names a SOGEVAC B DOT version. Busch lists the application as liquid extraction and liquid filling (R5, DOLPHIN); Edwards lists XDS and GV for refrigeration, air conditioning and brake lines without a description.

Industries

Evacuation and charging (refrigeration, air conditioning, brakes): where the manufacturers name it

The manufacturers list these uses on their own pages.

Refrigeration and air conditioning

Busch names vacuum evacuation and vacuum filling as well as liquid extraction and liquid filling with R5 and DOLPHIN, Pfeiffer Vacuum the same applications with DuoVane and HiScroll; Leybold describes evacuating the cooling circuits of refrigerators and air-conditioning systems on the production line to usually below 0.1 mbar (TRIVAC B, TRIVAC T, NEO D, RUVAC WAU), Edwards lists XDS and GV.

Industry page: Refrigeration and air conditioning →

Automotive and transport

Busch names the evacuation of brake and air-conditioning lines before filling with R5; Pfeiffer Vacuum integral leak testing of air-conditioning, hydraulic, tank and battery systems under vacuum (DuoVane, HiLobe); Leybold the filling of hydraulic vehicle brakes with TRIVAC B DOT (16–40 m³/h); Edwards lists XDS and GV for brake lines.

Frequently asked questions

Evacuation and charging (refrigeration, air conditioning, brakes): frequently asked questions

Why must a refrigeration circuit be evacuated before filling?

So that no air and no moisture remain in the system. Leybold describes the evacuation of cooling circuits on the production line before refrigerant charging, and for brake systems pre-evacuation so that no gas bubbles remain after filling. Moisture evaporates under vacuum and is pumped out with the air.

How much vacuum is needed to evacuate an air-conditioning system?

For refrigerators and air-conditioning systems Leybold names a target vacuum of usually below 0.1 mbar.

Which vacuum pump for refrigerant charging on the production line?

For refrigerant charging Leybold names TRIVAC and NEO D, for refrigerators and air-conditioning systems TRIVAC B, TRIVAC T, NEO D and RUVAC WAU as well as the PHOENIX leak detector. Busch names R5 and DOLPHIN, Pfeiffer Vacuum DuoVane and HiScroll, Edwards XDS and GV.

Which vacuum pump for evacuating brake lines?

For filling hydraulic vehicle brakes Leybold names TRIVAC B DOT with 16–40 m³/h; the brake system is pre-evacuated before it is filled with DOT fluid. For brake and air-conditioning lines Busch names R5, Edwards lists XDS and GV.

Oil-free or oil-lubricated for evacuating and filling?

Leybold names oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps (TRIVAC, NEO D) and the Roots pump RUVAC WAU, Busch the oil-lubricated R5, Pfeiffer Vacuum the oil-lubricated DuoVane alongside the dry scroll vacuum pump HiScroll, Edwards the dry scroll vacuum pump XDS and the claw vacuum pump GV. So both designs are represented.

How is the leak tightness of a refrigeration circuit tested?

Under vacuum: Leybold names leak detection and repair under vacuum as part of production, and the PHOENIX leak detector; Pfeiffer Vacuum describes integral leak testing under vacuum down to ≤10⁻⁹ mbar·l/s for air-conditioning, hydraulic, tank and battery systems with DuoVane and HiLobe.

What to do if a refrigeration circuit leaks?

According to Leybold, the leaking circuit is pumped out before repair – often with explosion protection; Leybold names TRIVAC B ATEX for this. The circuit is then repaired, evacuated again and filled.

Which vacuum pump for refrigerator production?

Leybold describes evacuating the cooling circuits on the production line to usually below 0.1 mbar and names TRIVAC B, TRIVAC T, NEO D and RUVAC WAU as well as the PHOENIX leak detector; for vacuum evacuation and vacuum filling Busch names R5, Pfeiffer Vacuum DuoVane and HiScroll.

What pumping speed does a pump need for evacuating and filling?

For brake filling Leybold names 16–40 m³/h (TRIVAC B DOT). For refrigeration and air-conditioning circuits the pumping speed depends on the volume of the system and the cycle time on the production line.

A single pump or a central vacuum system?

A central system in a room of its own keeps noise and heat away from production and matches its output to the demand. Central vacuum systems are planned and built by Eugen Theis Vakuum, a company of the Ehrler & Beck group – more under Central Vacuum.

Does Ehrler & Beck also supply spare parts and service?

Yes. Ehrler & Beck offers original spare parts and accessories as well as maintenance and repair.
