Moisture will combine with metals in the refrigerant system andthis will produce highly
corrosive by-products. The by-products are oxides, iron hydroxide, and aluminum
hydroxide, and they will damage the A/C system.
Moisture in the A/C system can freeze anddamage the expansion valve and orifice tube.
If there is water in the system, the water must be removed.
Failure to follow these cautions could cause damage to equipment.
