If you are going to purge the system using nitrogen, rather than evacuating the system with a vacuum pump, you will first need to remove the refrigerant gas without releasing it to the atmosphere.

Nitrogen must also have its pressure regulated before it can be used. The pressure in the cylinder is too great to be connected to a system. If a person allowed nitrogen under cylinder pressure to enter a refrigeration system, the pressure could burst some weak point in the system.

When using nitrogen in repairing a sealed refrigeration system, the nitrogen tank should always be equipped with a pressure regulator and a suitable pressure relief valve. These components ensure that the nitrogen is delivered at a safe and controlled pressure, preventing over-pressurization of the system. Additionally, using a nitrogen flow meter can help regulate the flow rate during the process. Proper safety equipment and practices should also be followed to ensure safe handling of nitrogen.
When pressurizing a refrigeration system with nitrogen, always follow the rule of not exceeding the recommended pressure limit specified by the manufacturer. Over-pressurizing the system can lead to potential safety hazards, and it is important to always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines to prevent any damage to the system.
When using nitrogen to repair a sealed refrigeration system, the nitrogen tank should be equipped with a pressure regulator to control the flow and pressure of the gas. Additionally, a safety relief valve is essential to prevent over-pressurization. It's also advisable to use a suitable gauge to monitor pressure levels during the process. This setup ensures safe and effective nitrogen use while minimizing the risk of system damage.

pressure in a refrigeration system is changed in the
To endure that the ONLY gas in the system is refrigerant.
The pressure in a refrigeration system changes in the compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. In the compressor, the pressure increases, while in the condenser, it remains high before decreasing in the expansion valve and evaporator.
Non-condensable gases in a refrigeration system are gases that are not easily converted into a liquid state during the cooling process. These gases can reduce the efficiency of the system by interfering with heat transfer and increasing the system's operating pressure. Common non-condensable gases include air, nitrogen, and other contaminants that may enter the system during installation or operation.
