That compromise came in a $6.7 billion bill from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. $5.5 billion of the bill will be paid for by two new pension measures. One would make changes to how private pension interest payments are calculated and the other would put higher premiums on companies participating in the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. The other $1.2 billion of the bill will come from setting a limit on how long a student can receive Stafford loans to six years. Previously, there was no limit on the loan.

The director and chief curator of University Museums has a unique vantage point from which to view these moments. On the anniversary of the Morrill Act, Pohlman reflected back on its meaning and the time that piece of paper visited Ames. She also describes what life is like from her position. Could you give us an overview of Iowa State's involvement with the Morrill Act? The Morrill Act is expressed around us. Remember, you're talking to a museum person, so I'm all about the interpretation of objects that we have. I think the Morrill Act is expressed as you walk across campus. While Iowa State was founded prior to the Morrill Act, we really didn't get under way until four years after when we started admitting people into college. So to me, when you walk across Central Campus, that's the Morrill Act. When you see students contemporarily walking across, that's the Morrill Act. When I see images of Abraham Lincoln, I think of the summer of 1862 and how many things did he sign into legislation that impacted us. We're in the Civil War, and he's signing educational measures. He's signing transportation so we have the Union Pacific go by. It was all access and growth, intellectual access for everyone, and I just see that expressed in the library as you walk down. It's the however-many volumes of books they have in there. It's the number of classes we have. It's the faces of the students. That's the Morrill Act expressed on a day-to-day basis. If you want to think about the piece of paper that more specifically goes back to when Iowa State was celebrating its sesquicentennial, which coincided with us restoring Morrill Hall. Not many Morrill Halls remain on land-grant universities, and so it was a significant thing that Iowa State restored and renovated that building to a modern use. We opened that museum on the 150th anniversary, March 22, [2008], and that was an important date for us. We wanted one of the earliest shows to be the Morrill Act. And I would say, rather naively, we went to Washington and said, "Can we bring the Morrill Act here?" And the person we talked to was ... a registrar for the National Archives. He was incredibly generous. No one had ever asked that question before. Even though he had been there many years, he had actually never seen the Morrill Act. It's not like it's out on view very often, and so the National Archives had a long list of requirements that we had to fulfill. It took us about a year and a half to go through this process, and it was then put on exhibit in Morrill Hall for our sesquicentennial. It was an amazing thing. It was its first time out of Washington, D.C., and it came to Iowa State University. To me, that was a huge expression of the Morrill Act. What it means is... It's words on a paper. Words are powerful. But the implementation over hundreds of years is even more incredible. How many millions of people have been educated by that? It changed the course of a nation. Photo courtesy of ISU News Service What is an average day for you? I'm director and chief curator of the University museums. I feel like I am responsible for the cultural heritage of Iowa State, and that certainly is embedded in each of our museum functions. What's an average day? It's administration. It's research on objects and exhibitions. It's fundraising. It's teaching. It's public relations. I'll do anything that isn't illegal, immoral or unethical to impart the cultural heritage of Iowa State. And it varies from day to day. That's what makes it a fascinating, wonderful job. The people you get to meet. The very fact that, with legitimacy, I could go to the National Archives and say, "Can we borrow the Morrill Act?" And that they would say yes eventually. That's the interactions we can have. I'm in the process now of working on three different books. We work on maybe eight to 12 exhibitions around two or three classes that are team taught. It isn't the same every day. It's very diverse.

More than I can remember. It's a wonderful job. I can tell you most recently ... about Christian Peterson's "Panthers." If you can imagine looking for those for 19 years and six months and then finding them. I was sitting here [at my desk] and one of the guest curators who has been involved for hunt for the panthers as well... We had a lot of leads, and we tu de nt Ch c oi e tu de nt Ch c oi e Keep Ames Beautiful Drive A Clean Car 204 Clark Ave. www.LynnsCarWash.com had many books and trips around the country looking for those panthers. It was 19 years, six months and three clicks on the computer, and we found a visual image of the panthers at Middlebury College. You could have heard us scream across campus. We knew where they were. That was a very exciting moment. It's the detective story that goes on endlessly. We're continuing the panther search. We have them now, but why were they made? How did they get to where they were? We don't know all of that story yet, and that's what all this (points to piles of books and papers) is about is the panther story. Why were they made? Who were they made for? ... How does that inform the Peterson story and his legacy to Iowa State? There have been a lot of "wow!" moments that I can't believe. S S Thursday, July 5, 2012 | Iowa State Daily | ISD ROAD TRIP | 5 ISD road trip: West Bend Discover the `eighth wonder of the world' By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com For this week's road trip, the Daily ventured to West Bend, a town known for having what is sometimes called "the eighth wonder of the modern world." A religious monument, the Grotto of the Redemption took more than 42 years to build and is the largest manmade grotto in the world. Made up of nine individual grottoes, each part of the Grotto of the Redemption contains a scene from Christ's life hand-carved from Italian Carrara marble. This monument covers an entire city block and is famous for having "the largest collection of precious ... rocks, minerals, fossils and petrifactions concentrated in any one spot in the world," according to the West Bend website. The history of the Grotto is a unique story itself. According to the Grotto's website, a young seminarian, the Rev. Paul Matthias Dobberstein had become critically ill with pneumonia. Fighting for his life, he prayed to the Virgin Mary to intercede for his life, and in return, he would build a shrine in her honor. Dobberstein's pneumonia passed, and he came to West Bend as pastor in 1898. For more than 10 years, he stockpiled rocks and precious stones and began building in 1912. According to the website, "The designed purpose of the Grotto is to tell, in silent stone made spiritually eloquent, the story of man's fall and his redemption by Christ, the savior of the world." As usual, we had to grab a bite to eat on our trip. West Bend has a handful of local cafes but as it was a Sunday when we visited, many of these were closed. However, there was one that was open: the Grotto Caf�, located conveniently next to the Grotto of the Redemption. With oldies music playing on the speakers overhead, cardboard cutouts of classic cars lining the counters and Coca Cola antiques, the place had a `50s vibe to it. The menu consisted of ice cream, sandwiches, cheeseburgers, chicken, hot dogs and salads, among other things.

As a land-grant college, we are supposed to be the public's research and development department. Researchers here are supposed to give innovative solutions to the public who need them. This is true to Rep. Justin Morrill's 1862 plan to establish colleges in each state "for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts," as it was designed to help people become more independent. Knowing the intent of the Morrill Act, we were dismayed to learn Iowa State's vaguely defined plans to collaborate with AgriSol on an agricultural development project in Tanzania included "a gift of $12,000 ($4,000 a year for three years) to the Agronomy Study Abroad Scholarship fund to support students interested in traveling to Africa ... or to engage in internships," according to the Ames Tribune. That proposal was sent by David Acker, associate dean Editorial Board iowastatedaily.com/opinion online Editor -in-Chief: Katherine Klingseis firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: (515) 294.5688 Thursday, July 5, 2012 Editor: Michael Belding firstname.lastname@example.com AgriSol scandal shows neglect by Iowa State AgriSol Energy team brings decades of experience developing modern and successful agricultural and clean energy businesses." Why, then, was the collaboration with Iowa State necessary? Iowa State's earliest records from the most primitive period of her existence reveal as much. The Iowa Agricultural College's work was, even before the Morrill Act was passed in Iowa, in keeping with the expectation of Morrill and others that the land-grant colleges would make a gospel of education and carry it out of traditional academia's ivory tower-like universities. Following a very wet spring in 1858, resulting in late planting of corn and rot while still in the ground, the Iowa Agricultural College sent questionnaires to "reliable farmers" from "every section of the State" in order "to arrive at what might have been done by all ... under the same circumstances." After the results were collected, the college compiled a set of recommendations that, if observed, would allow "our farmers [to] raise an abundance [of corn] for all purposes on one half of the number of acres now appropriated to" corn production. This is what Iowa State is for. Facilitating the work of corporations with their own financial interests is not part of our role as a research university. We do not exist for the sake of fulfilling the orders of for-profit entities. Corporate sponsorship for subsidies of colleges so they can do the corporation's work or act on its behalf was never the vision or intention of land-grant colleges, nor academia in general. Bringing useful news to those in need of it does not mean doing the work advocated by corporations whose profit margin is the prime mover behind their activity. It means independent research into the problems that circumstances created for actual people, not pseudoindividuals artificially incorporated by legal documents.

Acker wrote: "I am confident that the work [an agronomy professor had done and was expected to do for AgriSol's Tanzania project] will open up doors for agronomy students and faculty to participate in a worthwhile Feedback policy: and challenging project in Tanzania." Aside from the puny size of the scholarship fund, the circular exchange of expertise for money that will facilitate the gift of the expertise doesn't make much sense. It makes even less sense when one considers that, according to AgriSol, the corporation "provides expertise to create agricultural businesses in underdeveloped global locations" and that "the Katherine Klingseis, editor-in-chief Michael Belding, opinion editor Barry Snell, assistant opinion editor Michael Glawe, columnist Mackenzie Nading, columnist The Daily encourages discussion but does not guarantee its publication.

You talk throughout the game when you can, not really paying attention to the score. She has everything you desire -- she's intelligent and witty, has a beautiful smile and is funny as well as charming. After the game you pack up your things, walk her to her car and then the make or break moment happens: You say, "I'm really beginning to like you. Can I take you out for coffee sometime?" And with that comes the biggest shotgun blast to the foot if I ever heard one. Asking somebody out for coffee or to a local caf� is oh so clich� it makes my stomach turn. Why is it the generic approach to asking somebody out? Is it a cop-out because you're too afraid to do anything else? Or is it because you're too boring to think of anything better? This is what happens when you ask somebody out. Usually, more often than not, you have already been "shootin' the breeze" with him/her before you actually get to asking somebody out. If you then backtrack to a coffee shop, what will you talk about? Most of the small talk and getting to know each other has been taken care of. Unless both of you are really open to expressing your deeper selves on your first official date, there is potential for a lot of awkward silence. Aside from that factor, what is so exciting about going out to a caf� anyway? What makes this first date memorable? You'll be just another person who went on a date to a coffee shop. Why not a stroll through the park? Especially if you own a dog. Or a walk through a local museum. Skiing, if it's the winter months. An introductory pottery class. But please, please, please don't be another Joe Schmo and ask a date out for coffee. In case you were wondering, a movie is just as bad. If you're caught up and can't think of anything on the spot, just say that you'll find something special and let them know what it is at a later time. It'll at least give you time to think about a proper first date idea. I am not advocating going back to the early 20th century where men woo swooning women in an effort to show off their sexual prowess and masculinity. What I am advocating is making yourself as memorable as possible, male or female. You should show off your fun side and not the boring side that you shouldn't have in the first place. ou and your bud sign up for a coed softball league in your local town. At the same time, his girlfriend and her best friend sign up for the same team. All of you show up to your first practice ready to get down-'n'dirty when you meet her for the first time. She's wearing shorts and a three-quarters sleeve baseball tee with a baseball cap. You play third base, she plays second base and for the entire hour and a half both of you share glances and smiles with one another... until, someone hits a grounder, and it goes right through your legs while you're caught looking over at your buddy's girlfriend's best friend. Now what? You can either (a), make a fool of yourself even more and make an excuse like, "The sun was in my eyes." Or (b), say you were "distracted." After practice you both exchange glances and finally you say with a big grin, "Hi, I'm (insert name)." She smiles and says, "Hey, I'm (insert name), are you always bad at third base?" You talk a little while longer as you walk towards your cars, and then you finally close off with, "I'll see you at the game tomorrow. It was nice meeting you."

This year's festival is July 6 and 7. By Dale.Johnson @iowastatedaily.com The Des Moines Music Coalition's 80/35 Music Festival lineup boasts a handful of Ames musicians playing alongside national acts such as headliners the Avett Brothers and Death Cab For Cutie. Acts from the Ames scene playing in the festival include Christopher the Conquered, Derek Lambert and the Prairie Fires, Leslie and the LY's, Little Ruckus, Mantis Pincers and Mumford's. "People should come [to 80/35] with their minds ready to be blown," said Dominic Rabalais of Little Ruckus. Chris Ford of Christopher the Conquered, Leslie Hall of Leslie and the LY's, Nate Logsdon of Mumford's and Rabalais all said they look forward to playing such a large outdoor festival and bringing some surprises with them. 80/35 will take place at Des Moines' Western Gateway Park on July 6 and July 7 with doors opening at 4 p.m. and 11 a.m. respectively. "It's an honor to play a world-class festival right here in Iowa," Ford said. "And it's more along the lines of Pitchfork and Lollapalooza, which take place in a metro park unlike Coachella or Bonnaroo." Derek Lambert and the Prairie Fires will be the first local act to take the stage at noon Saturday on the Kum & Go stage. Christopher the Conquered will play on the Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield stage. The rest of the local lineup can be found throughout the day on the Hy-Vee Triathalon stage. The acts are in the works to make changes to their live performances to adapt for playing a large, outdoor show. "I don't want to ruin too much of the surprise, but I will say people can expect for a drum kit on a moving platform and some homemade constructs," Rabalais said. Logsdon said Mumford's looks to introduce a new addition to the band's roster as well as performing new material from the ENTERTAINMENT.p9 >> Thursday, July 5, 2012 | Iowa State Daily | FEATURE | 9 >>ENTERTAINMENT.p8 upcoming album Immediate Family. Several of the artists said they look forward to playing in a festival that brings out people to see national acts and, in the words of Ford, "experience local music at the one big event people may attend that year." The artists also mentioned they are honored to play the event. Logsdon summed up the feeling. "Playing 80/35 is great," Logsdon said. "It's also great to play 80/35 coming from Ames, Des Moines and Iowa since 80/35 is something we as Iowans are proud to possess." Anyone attending the festival can expect the local acts to put on their best show. "No matter the weather, wet or sweat, we are going to lead one of the biggest dance parties Iowa has seen," Hall said.

Ian will compete with his brother, Justyn, for the Canadian team in the 2012 Olympic Games. Chasing an Warner brothers follow each other to Olympic races for Team Canada By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Ian Warner has always been very close with his brother, Justyn. The brothers had the same friends growing up, transferred to the same high school and played on the same sports teams together. Now, Ian will be following his older brother once again. This time, however, it will be to the 2012 Olympic Games in London representing the Canadian track and field team. Manhunt Qualifying for the Olympics is a dream that began when the Warners were kids chasing each other around their Toronto neighborhood. Their competitiveness first came about by way of a childhood game. "It was the game Manhunt," Justyn said. "We used to play it in our neighborhood with all of the local kids. We lived in a cul-de-sac where in the center, there was a light pole in a grass island. The first one there and back without getting caught won the game. That's where our speed first came in." When the Warners were playing Manhunt and eventually moving on into organized sports, Ian did not consider athletics between his brother a competition because of the difference in age and physical maturity between himself and Justyn. Debbie Warner, Justyn and Ian's mother, said despite the differences in age and physical ability when they were younger, Ian would eventually come close to catching his brother. "Ian's always been very competitive," Debbie said. "Justyn knows Ian is coming [to catch him] since Ian has been saying it since he could talk." Ian said he first saw the gap between him and his brother decrease after they were both out of high school. "When he was at TCU and I was at my first year at Iowa State, I saw that age didn't really matter anymore and so it was more of a competition then," Ian said. A Warner brother victory Justyn and Ian had done it. They had made it the finals of the 100-meter dash at the Canadian Olympic Trials on June 29 in Calgary, Alberta. They were fewer than 11 seconds away from achieving their first Olympic Games. And with so much at stake, the Warner family was very calm about the upcoming race. "I think it was the most calm and relaxed I had ever been before a race," Justyn said. "I had already done the work months -- and potentially years -- before, so I knew that I was ready to run fast in the 100-meter final." "I wasn't as nervous as I usually am," Debbie said. "I think I was more nervous for Justyn because he false started at Nationals last year, so I had that in the back of my mind and I was thinking, `Okay, I know you want a good start but wait for the gun.'" WARNER.p11 >> Thursday, July 5, 2012 | Iowa State Daily | FEATURE | 11 >>WARNER.p10 As the race started, Justyn and Ian both had good starts and at acceleration, Justyn pulled slightly away from the pack and finished in 10.15 seconds, faster than the Olympic "A" standard time of 10.18. Ian completed the Warner sweep by finishing second in 10.20, just .02 seconds away from an automatic qualifying "A" standard time. But Ian was just happy to be in the moment at that point. "The race went by really fast and was just a blur," Ian said. "When I crossed the line, I looked over and saw my brother and knew that we had come away one-two. I was just really happy to know that." Debbie said despite having a very good view of both of her sons during the race, she couldn't quite see where Ian finished until his name was displayed on the scoreboard. "I knew Justyn had won, but I wasn't if Ian was second or third, and my husband said, `No, Ian was second. They got one-two!'" she said. "And when it came up on the screen that Ian was second, I was like, `Yes, they did it.'" Justyn said he was happy for his brother's name to appear second on the scoreboard after his own. "[Ian] ran up to me [after the race] and was screaming `We did it! We did it!'" Justyn said. "We had been talking about a Warner brother victory for a good month or so and that it was very possible. We've come so far and I'm still in amazement about it all." "Sharing our first Olympics together is priceless. We don't know what could happen when the next Olympics rolls around in 2016, so our parents are going to make the trip, and we will all just enjoy this journey and milestone together." ISU sprints coach Nate Wiens said the memories the Warners will share will be lifelong and very special to both of them. Ian is the first Olympian Wiens has coached in college. "To go one-two at the Canadian Trials, those are memories that you can't recreate and those are memories that you don't just make on a whim," Wiens said. "That stuff takes four, six, eight, 10 years of dedication to be able to say, `We did that and we did that together.' To share that experience with him and to be an Olympian, there's not really a whole lot that can top that besides getting into an Olympic final with your brother." For Debbie, watching two sons compete for Canada in the Olympics will bring her great pride, she said, but not necessarily any more pride than she felt about her boys before they were Olympians. "I don't know if I could say we're any prouder now than before the race," Debbie said. "Honestly I know going to the Olympics [is a big deal], but we were very proud of these kids beforehand. The pride we feel is the pride in their ability to persevere and overcome the obstacles and injuries that they've had to face athletically. "Going to the Olympics is just a cherry on top of the sundae."

Without this act, Iowa State would not be here as we know it. "The Morrill Act was created to establish a nationwide system of higher education that was publicly funded," said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost. "The objective was to prepare students for the practical world they would face after leaving the classroom. The Morrill Act has literally improved the lives of millions of people." Iowa was the first state to accept the Morrill Act, which was signed into law on July 2, 1862, and the state declared the fledgling Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm as its land-grant university. This action is directly responsible for the Iowa State seen today. ISU President Steven Leath said there are differences between land-grant universities and other, non land-grant schools, such as the University of Iowa. "Land-grant universities have always been much more in tune with the state," Leath said. "They focus their education and their research programs around helping the state and training their students so they get jobs that contribute back to the state public far more so than the non land-grants." Wickert also stressed certain aspects of land-grant schools that separate them from other schools. "The Morrill Act placed an emphasis on practical education in areas important to the economic growth of the states, like agriculture and mechanic arts (which we today call engineering), but not to the exclusion of other disciplines." Pamela Riney-Kehrberg, professor and chairwoman of the department of history said the ISU Extension and Outreach program is an important part of our university's land-grant mission as it connects the university with people outside of the immediate college community. "Extension is the connection between the university and the farming communities around the state," Riney-Kehrberg said. "We have a whole range of curricular programs that you wouldn't find at many other universities." Before the Extension and Outreach office, Iowa State used a train car called the Seed Corn Gospel Train, run by professor Perry Holden, that traveled around the state's small towns, teaching farmers about hybrid corn. Leath described how running a land-grant university is different than a standard university. "Because most of the faculty at land-grants understand this culture of being relevant and supportive of the state, in some ways it's easier [to run a land-grant university.]" Leath also plans on making changes to Iowa State's land-grant mission. "We will become more sensitive to the needs of the state than Higher education for all The Morrill Act of 1862 established the donation of public lands to various states in order to establish colleges advocating the advancement of agriculture and mechanical arts. Sponsored and brought forth by Sen. Justin Morrill of Vermont, the bill established the first federal aid granted to higher education. Under this act, the federal government granted each state 30,000 acres of public land, divided up through a series of "scrips" given to each state senator and representative. While many scrips were squandered, the Morrill Act laid the groundwork for the national systems of colleges and universities we still have today, making higher education more accessible to citizens.

You'll see more public, private partnerships a year and a university very willing to help the state." For Leath, however, one issue takes precedent over all others. "Our most important job is to improve the quality of life for our citizens to help stimulate the economy." While many things have changed at Iowa State over the years, the focus on our land-grant mission and heritage has continued. "The land-grant values are very important to Iowa State, and they continue to Big 12 The Big 12 Athletic Conference has four schools that share a land-grant background: Iowa State University Kansas State University Oklahoma State University West Virginia University Definition According to the USDA 's Economic Research Service, a land-grant institution is defined as "an institution designated by its state legislature or Congress to receive benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. A principal mission of these institutions, set forth in the first Morrill Act (Land-Grant Act), was to teach agriculture and the mechanical arts. This law gave each state a grant of federal land to be sold to provide an endowment for at least one land-grant institution. " Did You Know? Don't trash your glass!

"The land-grant values were right when the Morrill Act was signed, and they continue to be the right ones. "Iowa State is a national leader in that regard, of being a modern land-grant school.

Great vacation bag
I just bought and used this bag for a week long snowboard trip. This bag is too big to be carried on if full. I was able to fit all the clothes I need for the week long trip in this bag with no problem at all. The bag has two handles on each end of the bag and it makes it really easy to pull the bag out of a car.
The only con is that it does not hold it's shape and so it can be kind of awkward if it's not full.

Délices Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 14 photos
This is near where the foot path intersects with the Victoria Falls river, you can see the effect the minerals in the earth cause, the coloration of the water.
Here we are with our guides crossing the Victoria Falls River.
Thats Glen and his son Tyler who we became friends with. The male guide is the son of Moses, yes Moses, a very interesting person we met and spoke with briefly.
Here Zohara gets a little help from our guides. I don't know if you can see, but the woman is starting to show signs of her upcoming motherhood (yes, she is pregnant and still guiding).
- Pros:Beautiful place still unruined by large tourism.
- Cons:Difficult to find without help.
- In a nutshell:Do it alone, or with a guide, but DO IT

Adding or replacing air conditioner or heat pump refrigerant: this article describes the procedures for charging an air conditioner, heat pump, refrigerator, freezer, or similar equipment - how does an HVAC service tech put the proper amount of refrigerant into the system? We describe use of a traditional charging cylinder, vaporizing connectors for low-side charging, and modern refrigerant recovery, charging, and vacuum equipment.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Procedure for Charging the HVAC System or Appliance with Refrigerant Using a Gauge Set
Evacuating The Refrigeration System Before Charging
As we've explained, charging an empty system will require evacuating it first. For a typical household equipment this takes about 15 minutes but for a larger commercial refrigeration system this process can take an hour.
[Click to enlarege any image]
On residential equipment we always leave our evacuator pump running for at least 1/2 hour to be sure we've evacuated as much moisture and contaminants as possible.
On commercial systems being installed or having major service it would be preferable to leave the evacuator pump running for 12 hours - the longer you evacuate the system the cleaner it will be. That's because as the system warms up moisture in the system will vaporize further and thus be removed.
Low Side Refrigerant Charging
Low side charging is also referred to as vapor charging - that is we allow ONLY refrigerant vapor or gas to enter the system.
This is an easy but time consuming method of system charging. The canister supplying refrigerant is connected to the gauge service port and opened, and the HVAC equipment or appliance is run (which pumps refrigerant gas from the supply source in parallel with pumping from the outlet of the evaporator coil).
The refrigerant canister is kept upright so that only gas leaves the canister.
High Side Refrigerant Charging
When charging an air conditioner, heat pump, or refrigeration appliance from the high side, the system being serviced is turned OFF. The refrigerant gas canister is placed upside down so that only pure liquid refrigerant leaves the canister.
Note that once you start the system running you will not be able to charge on the high side because the head pressure out of the compressor will be higher than the evaporation pressure in the canister - it would push refrigerant back into the canister.
Methods for Measuring a Refrigerant Charge
With critically-charged HVAC or appliance refrigeration systems, such as a household refrigerator or air conditioner, you must measure the refrigerant entering the system. Typically the technician uses a scale that registers in ounces to measure a weighed charge, though we also used other devices such as a charging cylinder that actually shows the volume of liquid refrigerant in the cylinder on a temperature-compensating scale.
A charging board (or charging cylinder just mentioned) that is connected to the high side can accurately measure the liquid refrigerant charge going into the system. In this case the charging board (Dial-a-Charge charging cylinder produced by Robinaire, Montpelier OH) is loaded with the proper refrigerant charge from the gas cylinder, and the outlet from the charging board is then connected into the high side (perhaps through the gauge service port).
A Vaporizing Connector is an accessory you can add to a charging cylinder or charging board. The refrigerant vaporizing connector (such as Imperial's Kwik-Charge, assures that liquid refrigerant passing through the device will convert to gas as it exits the device. This will let you add a measured refrigerant charge to the low side of the system while still making an accurate measurement of the refrigerant measured in ounces.
Liquid refrigerant charging is always faster than low side vapor charging. On the low side you have to charge, then wait for the system pressures to balance, then reexamine the frost line etc.
An alternative to measuring the refrigerant charge when charging air conditioners or heat pumps
As an alternative to making refrigerant measurements by weight or temperature-corrected volume using a scale or charging cylinder, some HVAC service technicians may adjust the refrigerant charge by watching the low side pressure and the exact location of the frost line at the evaporator coil (blower fan not running).
Watch out: do not overcharge or extend the frost line to the compressor or you risk sending liquid refrigerant into the compressor motor - assuring its damage or destruction.
Guessing at Refrigerant Charge Level by Watching the Sight Glass or Listening for Refrigerant Gurgling
On small refrigeration systems such as a home refrigerator or window air conditioner the refrigerant charge needs to be accurately measured or the system will not work properly. But on larger HVACR systems and on commercial units that use a liquid refrigerant receiver (a sort of buffer that stores extra liquid refrigerant), you might find a sight glass on the refrigerant piping downstream from the condensing coil.
Some techs add refrigerant while watching that sight glass, adding refrigerant until the gas bubbles just stop. If you see bubbles there either the system is badly contaminated or more likely the refrigerant charge is short. We warned just above - don't overcharge the system - you can damage the equipment.
Technical Note: if you see bubbles in the sight glass, or if you hear gurgling in the refrigerant lines indeed those can be indicators that the refrigerant charge in the system is low.
Pulling a vacuum to evacuate refrigeration systems
Note that a reading of "zero" on these pressure gauges is not really zero, it's 14 psi or 1 atmosphere.
Also if you look closely at your gauges you 'll see that one permits pressure readings in the "negative" direction - used when pulling a vacuum on the system using an evacuator pump - a step necessary before charging a system that has been opened for service or repair.
To remove all moisture or refrigerant from an air conditioner, heat pump, refrigerator, or other refrigeration equipment your evacuator pump needs therefore to pump past "zero" on the gauge (14 psi) to absolute zero or 29.9" Hg vacuum.
The evacuator pump is attached to the center port or "service port" on the gauge set.
Using a Refrigerant Charging Cylinder - Robinair® examples
Current refrigeration service standards
SAE J-2788, requires that all service equipment manufactured after December 31, 2007, must recover 95% of the refrigerant and recharge to within 1/2 ounce.
Charging cylinders such as the 1980's vintage equipment described below are often supplanted now (2011) by refrigerant charging scales and by larger, more sophisticated refrigerant charging machines that combine refrigerant charge measurement, refrigerant evacuation and recovery/recycling, and other service functions.
Newer refrigeration service equipment can automatically recover refrigerant (such as R134A) from a system to be serviced, vacuum test and clean the system to prepare it for a charge, leak test the system, and insert the proper refrigerant charge, all automatically.
These improved refrigeration management functions were required by a combination of legislation and standards that stop the discharge of refrigerants into the environment, and by improvements in refrigeration system design that produced equipment that uses a smaller, but more precisely-measured charge of refrigerant.
Quoting from Robinair's description of their current refrigerant management equipment line:
How traditional Charging Cylinder Worked to Put a Measured Refrigerant Charge into Refrigeration Equipment
While the new refrigeration system testing and charging equipment described above is fully automatic, to understand the problems that the newer equipment has to solve (and automate), it is useful to review how, traditionally, we inserted a precisely measured refrigerant charge into air conditioners and other refrigeration equipment.
We used the Robinair® Dial-a-Charge® charging cylinder for many years as a way to install an accurate charge of refrigerant into air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators and freezers undergoing service or repair. As an aid to service technicians who may have lost their instruction sheet we include and comment on the charging cylinder instructions here, using the Robinaire® Dial-a-Charge charging cylinder system as an example.
Robinair offered the following explanation of charging cylinder use along with our 1980's vintage equipment.
With an increase in temperature in any cylinder filled with refrigerant, there is a corresponding increase in pressure and a change in the volume of liquid refrigerant in the cylinder. To measure out an accurate charge by weight from a cylinder using the liquid level in a sight glass as a point of measurement, it is absolutely necessary to compensate for liquid volume variations caused by temperature variations. These temperature variations are directly related to pressure variations and accurate measurements by weight can be calibrated in relation to pressure.
The Dial-a-Charge Charging Cylinder is designed to meter out a desired amount of a specific refrigerant by weight. Compensation for temperature variations is accomplished by reading the pressure on the gauge of the cylinder and dialing the plastic shroud, with the calibrated chart, to the corresponding pressure reading for the refrigerant being used.
When charging a refrigeration or air-conditioning system with refrigerant, often the pressure in the system reaches a point where it is equal to the pressure in the [charging] cylinder from which the system is being charged. In order to get more refrigerant into the system to complete the charge, heat must be applied to the cylinder.
Robinair's Heated Dial-a-Charge Charging Cylinder eliminates the problem caused by equalization of pressure between the cylinder and the system being charged. The [Robinaire] charging cylinder has a heating element installed in the base of the cylinder.
The male plug of the heating element can be plugged into any 110-115 volt AC outlet. [Note that if you want to charge the system on the low side using vapor only, you can safely do so using a refrigerant vaporizer attachment instead of heat to assure that no liquid goes where it's not wanted.]
Due to the variety of 220V. receptacles throughout the world, a male plug must be field-added to the 220V heating element in order to fit the particular style in your area [outside the U.S., Canada, Mexico]. Either voltage heating element will work on 50 or 60 Hz power.
Watch out: CAUTION: Heating elements can be destroyed if plugged into an electrical outlet when the [charging] cylinder is empty [of refrigerant].
The heating element is of the correct wattage to increase [refrigerant] pressure sufficiently in a relatively short time, to a level that is above the equalization pressure between the cylinder and the system [being charged]. The higher the pressure in the cylinder, the less time it takes to force the refrigerant into the system.
The heating element should be turned off before the pressure is above the highest pressure on the Dial-a-Charge® shroud of the refrigerant being used. EXAMPLE: Refrigerant R22 is being used - the pressure at no time should exceed 230 psi.
The Robinair Dial-a-Charge® has a relief valve, for added protection, set to relieve the refrigerant at approximately 320 psi.- [1]
Procedure for Filling & Using a Refrigerant Charging Cylinder - Using the Refrigerant Line Sight Glass
Carson Dunlop Associates' sketch illustrates a very simple check that can indicate a problem with an air conditioner, heat pump, or other refrigeration equipment: visible gas bubbles seen in the sight glass. The sight glass, if present, is usually located in the condenser unit on the liquid refrigerant line.
Watch out: CAUTION: When working with refrigerants, goggles should always be worn. Contact with refrigerants may cause injury.
Using a Refrigerant Vaporizing Connector for Low-Side Refrigerant Charging: Imperial Kwik-Charge as example
As we introduced above at Measuring the Refrigerant Charge, a vaporizing connector is an accessory connected to the refrigerant canister, refrigerant gauge set, to a charging cylinder or charging board to provide a safe, fast way of low-side refrigerant charging without any risk of slugging the air conditioning compressor with liquid refrigerant - an event likely to damage the compressor.
The refrigerant vaporizing connector (such as Imperial's Kwik-Charge illustrated here), converts liquid refrigerant to a gas as the refrigerant flows through the vaporizing device, thus making sure that liquid refrigerant passing through the device will convert to gas as it exits the device. This will let you add a measured refrigerant charge to the low side of the system while still making an accurate measurement of the refrigerant measured in ounces.
Vaporizing Connector Description
[Quoting and paraphrasing][3], Using the Kwik-Charge™ vaporizing connector provides a safest, faster method of charging fluorinated hydrocarbon refrigerants into the low pressure side of a refrigeration system.
Vapor charging is also within the capacity of this unit, although it is primarily intended for liquid charging - that is, liquid refrigerant is fed into the vaporizing connector, and only refrigerant vapor exits the device.
The Kwik-Charge™ vaporizing connector may remain attached to the low-side port of the charging manifold while performing the usual refrigeration equipment service and diagnostic operations involved in maintaining a refrigeration system, such as pulling a vacuum to clean the system and test it for leaks.
An automatic bypass valve inside of the vaporizing connector permits full flow during any reverse-cycle operation such as pulling a vacuum or removing refrigerant that is already in the system.
As an example for technicians unfamiliar with vaporizing connectors we quote from the Kwik Charge instructions for the device we illustrate here. [3]
Advantages of using a vaporizing connector for low-side charging of air conditioning, heat pump, and other refrigeration systems
[Quoting and paraphrasing][3],
This device provides fast, safe refrigerant charging when using tracing dye [or not] with these properties:
Instructions for using the Kwik Charge liquid low-side charger for air conditioning and refrigeration systems
Watch out: CAUTION: a minimum hose length of three feet should be maintained between the Kwik-Charge and the low side charging port on the refrigeration system. Be sure to observe all safety practices regarding handling of refrigerants, including the wearing of eye protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question: how to evacuate a common home HVAC (refrigerant-based) system
(Aug 1, 2011) Brian said:
what is procedure to evacuate most common home hvac system
Current regulations in Northamerica require that refrigeration systems that are going to be evacuated are first emptied of whatever refrigerant remains in the system - but that refrigerant is NOT vented to the atmosphere. It must be collected into a retrieval canister. There are two ways this is done.
Traditionally a vacuum pump is connected to a service port on the HVAC system and the output of the pump is connected to a receiving canister. The pump is run until there is a vacuum on the HVAC system for some specified interval then the receiving canister is closed and the pump shut off.
Currently there are also refrigerant receiving canisters that are sold already having been pumped to a vacuum. The canister can be connected to the service port on the HVAC system.
In either case a gauge set with appropriate connecting hoses and control valves would be used to make the connections between the HVAC system service port(s) and the receiving canister.
Following removal of refrigerant from the system, depending on the HVAC system size, a vacuum pump may be left on and running for minutes to hours to attempt to clean the system as thoroughly as possible of refrigerant, moisture, and debris. The reason we need to allow some time to pass is that the initial "vacuum" is incomplete. Some moisture may remain in the refrigeration system that can convert to gaseous form as the system warms up, thus allowing still more moisture to be removed in vapor state. On a home system this may be just an hour or three; on a commercial HVAC or other refrigeration system we might leave the vacuum running for 24 hours.
Finally, when the system is to recharged, the HVAC tech will normally also install a dryer/filter to help remove any remaining moisture or debris.

how are the gas cylinderhorses connected to the low side in time of charging
Eric, the charging gas is connected to the low side through the low pressure hose, fitting, and port on the cooling unit. But unlike charging on the high side, we cannot introduce liquid refrigerant into the system so we have to use a charging cylinder or another device that makes sure that our refrigerant enters only as a gas.

transfering refrigerant in a condensing unit in a split system ac when moving house in a fully installed unit
If you are asking about preserving refrigerant when disconnecting and moving HVAC equipment, I am doubtful. IN a conventional split system cut, move, and reinstall, the tech will need to pull a vacuum, clean the system piping and equipment after it's reconnected in the new location, then install refrigerant.

Rather than measuring refrigerant charging in current nor amperes we measure in system pressures adjusted for temperature, dispensing a volume of refrigerant required by the manufacturer with additional allowance for the volume of system piping.

All automotive gas R134a charge Chart please

What would be a normal low pressure reading for R410 on gauge manifold and a normal high pressure reading.
R-134a pressure/temperature charts are widely available here and at other websites by simple search.
There is a very detailed R-134a Air Conditioner Filling Chart provided by NRF and found at http://www.nrf.eu/uploads/files/nrf_ac_70x100_zs_def_lr.pdf
You'll want to pick up a refrigerant pressure/temperature chart for R410 since pressures vary as a function of temperature.
At 70F R410A will be at about 201.5 psi.
On the suction side, the pressure will depend on the compressor.
Properties for R410A are at
and there you will find a 410 Pressure/temperature chart.
