Environment-friendly Alternative Refrigerant R410A Environment-friendly Alternative Refrigerant R410A • The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in comparison with R22. Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting pressure than R22 ones and this character- istic should be also considered during the installation. R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of R410A is 0.

Installation Preparation of Piping Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure. 1) Cut the pipes and the cable. Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased Copper Slanted Uneven Rough locally.
Page 24
Installation FLARE SHAPE and FLARE NUT TIGHTENING TORQUE Precautions when connecting pipes • See the following table for flare part machining dimensions. • When connecting the flare nuts, apply refrigerant oil to the inside and outside of the flares and turn them three or four times at first.

Installation HEAT INSULATION 1. Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance (over 120°C). Fastening band (accessory) 2. Precautions in high humidity circumstance: This air conditioner has been tested according to the "ISO Conditions with Mist" and confirmed that there is not any default.
Refrigerant piping installation Refrigerant piping installation The method of connection consists of flare connections at the indoor units, flange connections for the piping of the outdoor unit and flare connections for the liquid piping. Note that the branched sections are brazed. WARNING Always use extreme care to prevent the refrigerant gas (R410A) from the leakage while using fire or flame.

Refrigerant piping installation 12. Always insulate the piping properly. Insufficient insulation will result in a decline in heating/cooling perfor- mance, drip of condensate and other such problems. 13. When connecting the refrigerant piping, make sure the service valves of the outdoor unit is completely closed (the factory setting) and do not operate it until the refrigerant piping for the outdoor and indoor units has been connected, a refrigerant leakage test has been performed and the evacuation process has been completed.

Refrigerant piping installation Leak Test and Vacuum drying (1) Leak test Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7kgf/cm ). If the pressure does not drop for 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the nitrogen leaks. For the test method, refer to the following figure.
Page 44
Refrigerant piping installation (2) Vacuum Vacuum drying should be made from the service port provided on the outdoor unit’s service valve to the vac- uum pump commonly used for liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe. (Make Vacuum from liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe with the service valve closed.) * Never perform air purging using refrigerant.
