CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO BASIC FEATURES OF UNITS
1 MODELS LIST
2 BASIC OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Outdoor units of GMV5 VRF air conditioner can be implemented by combining multiple modules in
parallel. Similarly, indoor units (IDUs) consist of multiple units connecting in parallel. The operating
principle is as follows: When an IDU is operating in cooling mode, the outdoor unit (ODU) can
correspondingly enable the outdoor module based on the operating load requirement of the IDU. The
outdoor heat exchanger serves as a system condenser, and the heat exchangers of cooling IDUs are
connected in parallel to serve as a system evaporator. The circulation of air supply and air return of the
IDU is performed to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity. When an IDU is operating in heating
mode, all four-way valves in the ODU module are switched into energized status. The outdoor heat
exchange serves as the system evaporator, and the heat exchanger of the IDU serves as the system
condenser. The circulation of air supply and air return of the IDU is performed to adjust the indoor
temperature and humidity.

Functions of oil check valve: During after-sale maintenance, the oil check valve can be used to
extract lubricating oil samples, which are further detected to analyze the oil quality in the system.
The oil check valve can also serve as the inlet for lubricating oil charging. Before extracting
lubricating oil from the system, stop the system for at least 12 hours and release refrigerant. Do not
extract oil until system‘s pressure drops to 0.05MPa (7.25psi) or below; otherwise, overheat oil may
burn the operator.
Functions of low-pressure check valve: It is mainly used for low pressure detection of the system
and refrigerant charging during after-sale maintenance.

8 PRECAUTIONS ON REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE
Personnel related to air conditioning engineering design and installation operators must abide by
the safety requirement for preventing refrigerant leakage specified in local laws and regulations. If such
safety requirement is unavailable in local documents, the design and operation must be implemented
based on the following principles: GMV5 series VRF units adopt the R410A refrigerant, which is
nonflammable and nontoxic. However, the space for refrigerant leakage must be sufficient to ensure that
the refrigerant concentration does not exceed that specified in the safety requirement; otherwise, people
involved can be stifled by the refrigerant.
The maximum refrigerant charge and maximum refrigerant concentration in the system are
calculated directly based on the size of the air conditioning space. The unit of refrigerant concentration is
1 kg/m³ or 1lb/m³.
1) Flow direction of refrigerant leakage.
2) Room for refrigerant leakage. Since the concentration of refrigerant is greater than that of air, pay
attention to the spaces where the refrigerant may residue, for example, the basement.
Method for calculating the maximum concentration of refrigerant:
(1) Calculate the refrigerant charge quantity of each system.
Charge quantity of an ODU upon delivery (for the system consisting of multiple modules in parallel,
the accumulative charge quantity of modules upon delivery is used) + Onsite charge quantity = Total
refrigerant charge quantity in the system (kg)
(2) Calculate the volume of maximum air conditioning space (m³).
Volume of air conditioning space (m³) = Length x Width x Height
Note: The length, width and height here refer to the effective length, width and height of the indoor
space.
(3) Calculate the maximum refrigerant concentration of the refrigeration system.
Note: If the maximum supported refrigerant concentration is not available in relevant local standard,
use 0.3kg /m³ (0.66lbs/m³)as the maximum supported refrigerant concentration.
(4) If the maximum refrigerant concentration exceeds the allowed threshold, the refrigeration system
must be redesigned. In this case, separate the refrigeration system into multiple small-capacity
21
GMV5 D.C INVERTER MULTI VRF SERVICE MANUAL
refrigeration systems, or contact local Gree sales company.
If the above equation can not be satisfied, then follow the following steps.
Selection of air conditioning system: select one of the next
1). Installation of effective opening part
2). Reconfirmation of Outdoor Unit capacity and piping length
3). Reduction of the amount of refrigerant
4). Installation of 2 or more security device (alarm for gas leakage)
Change Indoor Unit type
: installation position should be over 6.6ft from the floor (Wall mounted type → Cassette type)
Adoption of ventilation system
: choose ordinary ventilation system or building ventilation system
Limitation in piping work
: Prepare for earthquake and thermal stress

Installation Problem
Possible Consequence
1
Dust or impurities enter into the
refrigeration system.
Pipes are more likely to be blocked; air conditioning performance is
reduced; compressor wear is increased
or even hinder the normal operation of the system and burn the
compressor.
2
Nitrogen is not filled into the
refrigerant pipe or insufficient
Nitrogen is filled before welding.
Pipes are more likely to be blocked; air conditioning performance is
reduced; compressor wear is increased
or even hinder the normal operation of the system and burn the
compressor.
3
The vacuum degree in the
refrigerant pipe is insufficient.
The refrigeration performance is reduced. The system fails to keep
normal operation due to frequent protection measures. When the problem
getting serious, compressor and other major components can be
damaged.
4
Water enters into the refrigeration
system.
Copper plating may appear on the compressor and reduce the
compressor efficiency with abnormal noise generated; failures may occur
in the system due to ice plug.
5
The refrigerant pipe specifications
do not meet the configuration
requirements.
Smaller configuration specifications can increase the system pipe
resistance and affect the cooling performance; larger configuration
specifications are waste of materials and can also reduce the cooling
performance.
6
Refrigerant pipe is blocked.
The cooling performance is reduced; in certain cases,
it may cause long-term compressor operating under overheat conditions;
the lubricating effect can be affected and the compressor may be burnt if
impurities were mixed with the lubricating oil.
7
Refrigerant pipe exceeds the limit.
The loss in pipe is considerable and the unit energy efficiency decreases,
which are harmful for long-term running of the system.
8
Incorrect amount of refrigerant is
filled.
The system cannot correctly control the flow allocation; the compressor
may be operating under over-heating environment or running when the
refrigerant flows back to the compressor..
9
The refrigerant pipe leaks.
Insufficient refrigerant circulating in the system decreases the cooling
performance of the air conditioner. Long-term operation under such
circumstance may cause an overheating compressor or even damage the
compressor.
10
Water drainage from the
condensate water pipe is not
smooth.
Residual water in IDUs can affect the normal operation of the system.
The possible water leakage can damage the IDU's decoration.
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
1 ENGINEERING INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1.1 INSTALLATION SAFETY
Personnel and property safety are highly concerned during the entire installation process.
Installation implementation must abide by relevant national safety regulations to ensure personnel and
property safety.
All personnel involved in the installation must attend safety education courses and pass
corresponding safety examinations before installation. Only qualified personnel can attend the
installation. Relevant personnel must be held responsible for any violation of the regulation.
1.2 IMPORTANCE OF INSTALLATION ENGINEERING
VRF air conditioning systems use refrigerant, instead of other agent, to directly evaporate to carry
out the system heat. High level of pipe cleanness and dryness is required in the system. Since various
pipes need to be prepared and laid out onsite, carelessness or maloperation during installation may
leave impurities, water, or dust inside refrigerant pipes. If the design fails to meet the requirement,
various problems may occur in the system or even lead to system breakdown.
Problems that usually occur during installation are as follows:
25
GMV5 D.C INVERTER MULTI VRF SERVICE MANUAL
11
The ratio of slop for condensate
water pipe is insufficient or the
condensate water pipe is
incorrectly connected.
Reverse slop or inconsistent connection of condensate water pipe can
hinder the smooth drainage and cause leakage of the IDU.
12
The air channel is improperly
fixed.
The air channel will deform; vibration and noise occur during unit
operating.
13
The guide vane of air channel is
not reasonably manufactured.
Uneven air quantity allocation reduces the overall performance of the air
conditioner.
14
The refrigerant pipe or condensate
water pipe does not meet the
insulation requirement.
Water can easily condensate and drip to damage the indoor decoration,
or even trigger the protection mode of system due to overheating
operation.
15
The installation space for IDU is
insufficient.
Since there is a lack of space for maintenance and checking, indoor
decoration might need to be damaged during such operation.
16
The IDU or the location of the air
outlet or return air inlet is not
designed reasonably.
The air outlet or return air inlet may be short-circuited, thus affecting the
air conditioning performance.
17
The ODU is improperly installed.
The ODU is difficult to be maintained; unit exhaust is not smooth, which
reduces the heat exchanging performance or even prevent the system
from normal operation; in addition, the cold and hot air for heat exchange
and the noise may annoy people in surrounding areas.
18
Power cables are incorrectly
provided.
Unit components may be damaged and potential safety hazard may
occur.
19
Control communication cables are
incorrectly provided or improperly
connected.
The normal communication in the system fails or the control over IDUs
and ODUs turn in a mess.
20
Control communication cables are
not properly protected.
The communication cables are short-circuited or disconnected, and the
unit cannot be started up due to communication failure.
Understand the special requirement (if any) for unit installation before implementation to ensure
installation quality. Relevant installers must have corresponding engineering construction qualifications.
Special type operators involved in the engineering implementation, such as welders, electricians,
and refrigeration mechanics must have relevant operating licenses and are accredited with vocational
qualification certification.
1.3 COOPERATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS
A quality installation of air conditioning engineering depends on careful organization and close
cooperation between different professions such as architecture, structure, electric, water supply and
drainage, fire-fighting, and decoration. Pipes must be laid in places away from any automatic spray head
for fire-fighting, and must be reasonably arranged to ensure that the pipes fit the electric, luminaries, and
decoration.
1.3.1 Requirements for cooperation with civil engineering:
(1) The riser should be installed in the air conditioning tube well, and the horizontal pipe should be
placed in the ceiling, if possible.
(2) A place should be reserved for the ODU base to prevent the waterproof layer or insulating layer
on the roof from being damaged in later phase of installation.
(3) At places on walls or floors where pipes need to go through, holes or casing should be preserved.
If the pipe needs to go through a bearing beam, a steel casing must be prepared.
1.3.2 Requirements for cooperation with decoration engineering:
The air conditioning installation should not damage the bearing structure or the decorative style. Air
conditioning pipes should be laid out along the bottom of the beam as possible. If pipes meet one
another at the same elevation, process based on the following principles:
26
GMV5 D.C INVERTER MULTI VRF SERVICE MANUAL
(1) Drain pipes enjoy the highest priority. Air ducts and pressure pipes should leave places for
gravity pipes.
(2) Air ducts and small pipes should leave places for major pipes.
1.3.3 Requirements for cooperation with electric
After the capacity of air conditioning unit is determined, check the following aspects with relevant
electric design personnel:
(1) Whether the electrical load is designed based on the requirement of the air conditioning unit;
(2) Whether the power cable and circuit breaker meet the unit requirement and abide by relevant
national safety regulations;
(3) Whether the regional power supply quality (including voltage fluctuation and interference noise)
meet the international requirement;
(4) Any nonconformity must be resolved through coordination.
