CAUTION

• The above list indicates the order in which the individual work operations are normally carried out but this order may be varied where local conditions warrants such change.

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

• 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.)

Notes : * We can guarantee the operation only within 130 %

combination. If you want to connect more than 130 % combination, please contact us and discuss the requirement like below.

• If the operation of indoor unit is more than 130%, the airflow will be operated as low in the all indoor units.

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 characteristic should also be 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.

CAUTION

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

• 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.

- 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.

Opening shutoff valve

ENGLISH

1 Remove the cap and turn the valve counter clockwise with the

hexagon wrench.

2 Turn it until the shaft stops.

Do not apply excessive force to the shutoff valve. Doing so may break the valve body, as the valve is not a backseat type. Always use the special tool.

3 Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

Closing shutoff valve

1 Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the hexagon

wrench.

2 Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the main body seal.

Insulation of shutoff valve

1 Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has

an excellent heat-resistance (over 120 °C [248 °F]).

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. However, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere (dew point temperature: More than 23 °C [73.4 °F]), water drops

are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according to the following procedure:

- Heat insulation material to be prepared: EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene)-over 120 °C [248 °F] the heat-resistance temperature.

- Add the insulation over 10 mm [0.39 inch] thickness at high

humidity environment.

Nitrogen substitution method

Welding, as when heating without nitrogen substitution a large amount of the oxide film is formed on the internal piping.

The oxide film is a caused by clogging EEV, Capillary, oil hole of accumulator and suction hole of oil pump in compressor.

It prevents normal operation of the compressor. In order to avoid this problem, Welding should be done after replacing

air by nitrogen gas. When welding plumbing pipe, the work is required.

CAUTION

• Always use the nitrogen.(not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, and a Chevron gas): Please use the following nitrogen pressure 0.02 MPa (2.9 psi) Oxygen - Promotes oxidative degradation of refrigerant oil. Because it is flammable, it is strictly prohibited to use Carbon dioxide - Degrade the drying characteristics of gas Chevron Gas Toxic gas occurs when exposed to direct flame.

•

Always use a pressure reducing valve.

•

Please do not use commercially available antioxidant. The residual material seems to be the oxide scale is observed. In fact, due to the organic acids generated by oxidation of the alcohol contained in the anti-oxidants, ants nest corrosion occurs. (causes of organic acid → alcohol + copper + water + temperature)

REFRIGERANT PIPING INSTALLATION

Precautions on Pipe connection / Valve operation

Pipe connection is done by connecting from the end of the pipe to the branching pipes, and the refrigerant pipe coming out of the outdoor unit is divided at the end to connect to each indoor unit. Flare connection for the indoor unit, and welding connection for the outdoor pipe and the branching parts.

- Use hexagonal wrench to open/close the valve.

WARNING

• Always careful not to leak the refrigerant during welding.

• The refrigerant generates poisonous gas harmful to human body if combusted.

• Do not perform welding in a closed space.

• Be sure to close the cap of the service port to prevent gas leakage after the work.

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 .)

PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT

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

- Be sure to let 0.2 kgf/cm 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.

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 performance.

11 Never use refrigerant to perform an air purge. Always evacuate air

by using a vacuum pump.

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.
