ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT R410 & ASELECT THE BEST LOCATION

ENGLISH

Select space for installing outdoor unit, which will meet the following conditions:

• No direct thermal radiation from other heat sources

• No possibility of annoying neighbors by noise from unit

• No exposition to strong wind

• With strength which bears weight of unit

• Note that drain flows out of unit when heating

• With space for air passage and service work shown next

• Because of the possibility of fire, do not install unit to the space where generation, inflow, stag­nation, and leakage of combustible gas is expected.

• Avoid unit installation in a place where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used.

• Do not use unit under any special environment where oil, steam and sulfuric gas exist.

• It is recommended to fence round the outdoor unit in order to prevent any person or animal
from accessing the outdoor unit.

• If installation site is area of heavy snowfall, then the following directions should be observed.

- Make the foundation as high as possible.

- Fit a snow protection hood.

• Select installation location considering following conditions to avoid bad condition when addi­tionally performing defrost operation.

- Install the outdoor unit at a place well ventilated and having a lot of sunshine in case of in-

stalling the product at a place With a high humidity in winter (near beach, coast, lake, etc.)
(Ex : Rooftop where there is always sunshine.)

SELECT THE BEST LOCATION

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.

ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE
REFRIGERANT R410A

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.

INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following
procedure.

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.

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.

Flaring work

- Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as
shown below.

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

Check

- Compare the flared work with figure below.

- If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the
flared section and do flaring work again.

Flare shape and flare nut tightening torque

Opening shutoff valve

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.

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.

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.

Insulation of shutoff valve

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

heat-resistance (over 120°C).

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), 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 the heat-resistance temperature.

- Add the insulation over 10mm thickness at high humidity environment.

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.

3 Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

* For the tightening torque, refer to the table on the below.

Plumbing materials and storage methods

Pipe must be able to obtain the specified thickness and should be used with low impurities.
Also when handling storage, pipe must be careful to prevent a fracture, deformity and wound.
Should not be mixed with contaminations such as dust, moisture.

Refrigerant piping on three principles

Drying Cleanliness Airtight

Should be no moisture inside No dust inside.

There is no refrigerant leak-

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.

1 Always use the nitrogen.(not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, and a Chevron gas):

Please use the following nitrogen pressure 0.02MPa
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.

2 Always use a pressure reducing valve.

3. 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 anti­oxidants, ants nest corrosion occurs. (causes of organic acid  alcohol + copper + water +
temperature)

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.

CAUTION

Please block the pipe knock outs of the front and side panels after installing the pipes.
(Animals or foreign objects may be brought in to damage wires.)

!

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.

PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT

ENGLISH

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

- Be sure to let 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.
