The Yellow Jacket 93605 BULLET Single Phase Vacuum Pump is a two-stage rotary vane oil-sealed 5 CFM pump that pulls down to 25 microns or better. The 93605 features a wide mouth oil reservoir port for easier, cleaner filling. The BULLET pulls down to 25 microns or better, protecting from contaminants and non-condensable gasses in the HVAC system, which can damage components, reduce efficiency and cause system failure.
Many contractors pull the refrigerant out and think the work is done. In reality, when you get to 29 inches of vacuum (the green zone on your gauge), you are only half finished. Once the recovery machine has done its work, it's time to finish off the job with a vacuum pump.
ASHRAE recommends evacuation to below 1000 microns for moisture removal and below 500 microns after replacing a compressor. Some equipment manufacturers call for evacuation to 400 microns to ensure that harmful water vapor is removed from the system.
When you have water vapor in your system, the risk of icing up capillary tubing and expansion valves becomes much higher. A high quality vacuum pump will be able to take you down to 200-500 microns. With the system almost completely free from water vapor, you are ready to put the refrigerant back in the system. A thorough approach to evacuation ensures longer equipment life and reduced risk of problems.
