I think you mean a split system ac unit, not a split cycle.You will need a set of refrigeration gauges and a means of closing whatever types of service valves are on your unit.

You will also need to know what order in which to close those valves and what the readings on the gauges are telling you. The pumpdown procedure only takes a couple of minutes, so call a tech for the 1 hour service call. Then call him back to do a proper restart. You cannot Safely do it.

The process of doing this may sound complicated but it is easy for a technician.There are two valves at the condenser, one valve for the suction line and one valve for the liquid line. The HVAC technician closes the liquid line valve and turns the air conditioning on. The compressor pumps all the refrigerant into the condenser coils. The HVAC technician watches his gages carefully and when the pressure gets to zero on the gages he quickly closes the suction line valve to trap the refrigerant in the condenser and then turn the compressor off. This saves using refrigerant unnessarily because the same refrigerant in the system can be reused for the new evaporator coil or air handler. After the new evaporator coil or air handler is installed the HVAC technician evacuates the new part of the system and when completed with the evacuation process opens the valves to allow the refrigerant into the new part of the system. To make sure the charge is correct he uses his gages and the superheat method or subcooling to ensure the proper amount of refrigerant is in the system.

How do you implement a system or procedure in the workplace?

for implementing any system you need to understand what is the work or task the organisation does,to which you want to implement a system.And after that you have to create a system,you can create system by sdlc (system development life cycle)and after creating and checking you can implement your procedure or system. Answer Clearly write the procedure, have your supervisor or owner of the process review it. Have the procedure adopted by those in charge--that would be management, a steering committee or the board, whichever is highest in the hierarchy. Finally, implement the procedure by communicating it to the people who will be performing the work.
