Summary

The author examines the different options, in light of the coming ban on CFCs and HCFCs, fluids which were used in these operations. He seeks to answer the questions: how large does a vacuum pump have to be, and how long does it take to completely dry a circuit? His recommendations: 1) systems can be reliably dried only with two-step pumps and a final pressure of 50 microns; 2) drying should never be done quickly; 3) the system must be completely air tight before evacuation begins.
