In cases where the outdoor unit is installed above the Indoor unit perform the following.
1 Tape the piping and connecting cable from
down to up.
2 Secure the taped piping along the exterior
wall. Form a trap to prevent water entering the room.
3 Fix the piping onto the wall using saddle or
equivalent
Air Purging
The air and moisture remaining in the refriger­ant system have undesirable effects as indi­cated below.
- Pressure in the system rises.
- Operating current rises.
- Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
- Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
- Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
Therefore, after evacuating the system, take a leak test for the piping and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit.
Forming of the Piping
Form the piping by wrapping the connecting portion of the indoor unit with insulation mate­rial and secure it with two kinds of vinyl tapes.
- If you want to connect an additional drain hose, the end of the drain outlet should be routed above the ground. Secure the drain hose appropriately.
In cases, where the outdoor unit is installed below the Indoor unit, perform the following.
1 Tape the piping, drain hose and connecting
cable from down to up.
2 Secure the tapped piping along the exterior
wall using saddle or equivalent.
In cases, where the outdoor unit is installed above the Indoor unit, perform the following.

- Preparation
Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the service valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Note that both the liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.
- Leak test
Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.
Air purging with vacuum pump
CAUTION
Be sure to use a manifold valve for air purging. If it is not available, use a stop valve for this purpose. The knob of the 3-way valve must always be kept close.
- Pressurize the system to maximum 250 P.S.I.G. (17.6 kgf/cm
2
G) (R-22 model) or 400 P.S.I.G. (28.1 kgf/cm2G) (R-410A model) with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reaches 250 P.S.I.G. (17.6 kgf/cm
2
G) (R-22 model) or 400 P.S.I.G. (28.1 kgf/cm2G) (R-410A model). Next step is leak test with liquid soap.
!
CAUTION
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than its bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
!
WARNING
!
There is a risk of fire and explosion.
Inert gas (nitrogen) should be used when you check plumbing leaks, cleaning or repairs of pipes etc. If you are using combustible gases includ­ing oxygen, product may have the risk of fires and explosions.
- Do a leak test of all joints of the tubing(both indoor and outdoor) and both gas and liquid side service valves. Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a clean cloth.
- After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system pressure is re­duced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.
*The feature can be changed according a type
of model.
- Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves.
- Remove the service-port cap from the 3-way valve.
- Apply a soap water or a liquid neutral deter­gent on the indoor unit connection or outdoor unit connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the pip­ing.
- If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage

- With a service valve wrench, turn the valve of liquid side counter-clockwise to fully open the valve
- Turn the valve of gas side counter clockwise to fully open the valve
- Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side service port slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
- Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas side service port and fasten the flare nut se­curely with an adjustable wrench. This process is very important to prevent leakage from the system.
Finishing the Job
- Connect the charge hose end described in the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and indoor unit. Confirm the "Lo" knob of the pressure Gauge is open. Then, run the vacuum pump. The operation time for evacuation varies with tubing length and capacity of the pump. The following table shows the time required for Evacuation.
- When the desired vacuum is reached, close the knob of the 3-way valve and stop the vacuum pump.
