• 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.

CAUTION:

• The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8MPa(551.1psi).

• 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.

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. (Use ester oil or ether oil.)

• See the following table for tightening torque.(Applying too much torque may cause the flares to crack.)

• After all the piping has been connected, use nitrogen to perform a gas leak check.

Union

CAUTION

• Always use a charge hose for service port connection.

•

After tightening the cap, check that no refrigerant leaks are present.

• When loosening a flare nut, always use two wrenches in combination, When connecting the piping, always use a spanner and torque wrench in combination to tighten the flare nut.

• When connecting a flare nut, coat the flare(inner and outer faces) with oil for R410A(PVE) and hand tighten the nut 3 to 4 turns as the initial tightening.

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(551.1psi). 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 perform a pump down. This will not only damage the compressor but also deteriorate the perform-

ance.

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

Refrigerant piping installation

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.

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

14. 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.

• Pipe connections can be done on the front side or on the side according to the installation environments.

• Be sure to let 2.8psi(0.2kgf/cm²) Nitrogen flow in the pipe when welding.

• If Nitrogen was not flown during welding, many oxidized membranes may form inside the pipe and disturb the normal operations of valves and condensers.

• Use Knock Outs of Base Pan of the outdoor unit for Left/Right or Bottom pipe drawing outs.

n Remove leakage prevention cap

• Remove the leakage prevention cap attached to the outdoor unit service valve before pipe work.

• Proceed the leakage prevention cap removal as follows:

1. Verify whether the liquid/gas/common pipes are locked.

2. Extract remaining refrigerant or air inside using the

service port.

3. Remove the leakage prevention cap

n Method of pipe cap work during the instal-

lation of single outdoor unit

1. Remove rubber cap inserted in the common pipe.

2. Wrap the common pipe service valve with wet towel.

3. Insert the pipe cap provided into the common pipe.

4. Place high/low pressure flare nut cap under the pipe cap so

that the pipe cap does not move.

5. Weld the pipe cap.

h If not wrapped with a wet towel, there may be damages in-

side the valve.

h If the unit is operated without pipe cap work, there may be

abnormality in the cycle caused by refrigerant leakage.
