Installation Manual 9

Before Installation

• 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 characteristic 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. These days the developed countries have approved it as the environment-friendly refrigerant and encouraged to use it widely to prevent environment pollution.

• When carrying the suspended, unit pass the ropes between legs of base panel under the unit.

• Always lift the unit with ropes attached at four points so that impact is not applied to the unit.

• Attach the ropes to the unit at an angle of 40° or less.

• Use only accessories and parts which are of the designated specification when installing.

CAUTION:

• The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8MPa

• Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state.

• If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.

• Do not place the refrigerant container under the direct rays of the sun to prevent it from exploding.

• For high-pressure refrigerant, any unapproved pipe must not be used.

• Do not heat pipes more than necessary to prevent them from softening.

• Be careful not to install wrongly to minimize economic loss because it is expensive in comparison with R22.

CAUTION:

Be very careful while carrying the product.

- Do not have only one person carry product if it is more than 20 kg.

- PP bands are used to pack some products. Do not use them as a mean for transportation because they are dangerous.

- Do not touch heat exchanger fins with your bare hands. Otherwise you may get a cut in your hands.

- Tear plastic packaging bag and scrap it so that children cannot play with it Otherwise plastic packaging bag may suffocate children to death.

- When carrying in Outdoor Unit, be sure to support it at four points. Carrying in and lifting with 3-point support may make Outdoor Unit unstable, resulting in a fall.

Preparation of Piping

1) Cut the pipes and the cable.

■ Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased

locally.

■ Measure the distance between the indoor and the

outdoor unit.

■ Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance. ■ Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.

2) Burrs removal

■ Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section

of pipe/tube.

■ Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to downward

direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid to let burrs drop in the tubing.

3) Flaring work

■ Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown right.

Firmly hold copper tube in a bar(or die) as indicated dimension in the table above.

4) Check

■ Compare the flared work with figure right. ■ If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared section

and do flaring work again.

1. Use the following materials for refrigerant piping.

• Material: Seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper pipe

• Wall thickness : Comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed pressure

3.8MPa. We recommend the following table as the minimum wall thickness.

2. Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a dry inert gas.

3. Use care to prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation.

4. Reduce the number of bending portions as much as possible, and make bending radius as big as possible.

5. Always use the branch piping set shown below, which are sold separately.

6. If the diameters of the branch piping of the designated refrigerant piping differs, use a pipe cutter to cut the connecting section and then use an adapter for connecting different diameters to connect the piping.

7. Always observe the restrictions on the refrigerant piping (such as rated length, difference in height, and piping diameter). Failure to do so can result in equipment failure or a decline in heating/cooling performance.

8. A second branch cannot be made after a header. (These are shown by .)

9. The Multi V will stop due to an abnormality like excessive or insufficient refrigerant. At such a time, always properly charge the unit. When servicing, always check the notes concerning both the piping length and the amount of additional refrigerant.

10. Never use refrigerant to perform an air purge. Always evacuate using a vacuum pump.

11. Always insulate the piping properly. Insufficient insulation will result in a decline in heating/cooling

performance, drip of condensate and other such problems.

12. 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.

13. Always blow nitrogen into pipe which is brazed. Always use a non-oxidizing brazing material for brazing

the parts and do not use flux. If not, oxidized film can cause clogging or damage to the compressor unit and flux can harm the copper piping or refrigerant oil.

Refrigerant Piping

WARNING

When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, be sure to make recharge refrigerant after perfect evacuation.

- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.

- After selecting diameter of the refrigerant pipe to suit total capacity of the indoor unit connected after branching, use an appropriate branch pipe set according to the pipe diameter of the indoor unit and the installation pipe drawing.

WARNING

Do not use anti-oxidants when brazing the pipe joints. Residue can clog pipes and break equipment.
