Dutch term

vacumeren

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Koelinstallatie
Voordat de installatie wordt gevuld met koelmiddel propaan moet de lucht en het eventueel nog aanwezige water uit de compressor en installatie worden verwijderd. Dit gebeurt door middel van ***vacumeren***.

Ik zit even helemaal vast.

Vacumeren, vacuum trekken, vacuum zuigen.

Elke hulp wordt zoals altijd erg op prijs gesteld.

to evacuate

The source does not refer to automobile coolant systems or equiv.,, but to something like AC or refrigeration systems (ie. where gasses are used).
Peer comment(s):

agree Dave Greatrix : A more correct term in the context of airco, especially in a manual. "Bleeding" would be used more between fitters on site.
