INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT

• This room air conditioner adopts an HFC refrigerant (R410A) which never destroys the ozone layer.

• Pay particular attention to the following points, though the basic installation procedure is same as that for R22 conditioners. 1 As R410A has working pressure approximate 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some special tools and piping parts/

materials are required. Refer to the table below.

2 Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410Arefrigerant during storage and

installation, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.

3 For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant

piping.)

4 Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent

composition change.

NOTE : The unit of pressure has been changed to MPa on the international system of units(SI unit system).

New Specification Current Specification

The incompatible refrigerating oil easily separates from refrigerant and is in the upper layer inside the suction muffler. Raising position of the oil back hole enables to back the refrigerating oil of the upper layer to flow back to the compressor.

Since refrigerant and refrigerating oil are compatible each, refrigerating oil backs to the compressor through the lower position oil back hole.

R410A has high pressures beyond the measurement range of existing gauges. Port diameters have been changed to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged into the unit.

Hose material and cap size have been changed to improve the pressure resistance.

Description

Clamp bar hole has been enlarged to reinforce the spring strength in the tool. Provided for flaring work (to be used with R22 flare tool).

Provided to prevent the back flow of oil. This adapter enables you to use vacuum pumps.

It is difficult to measure R410A with a charging cylinder because the refrigerant bubbles due to high pressure and high-speed vaporization

1.Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R410A refrigerant

The following tools are required for R410A refrigerant. Some R22 tools can be substituted for R410A tools. The diameter of the service port on the stop valve in outdoor unit has been changed to prevent any other refrigerant being charged into the unit. Cap size has been changed from 7/16 UNF with 20 threads to 1/2 UNF with 20 threads.

1 Specifications

Use the refrigerant pipes that meet the following specifications.

• Use a copper pipe or a copper-alloy seamless pipe with a thickness of 0.8 mm (6.35, 9.52, 12.7), 1.0 mm (15.88). Never use any pipe with a thickness less than 0.8 mm (6.35, 9.52, 12.7), 1.0 mm (15.88), as the pressure resistance is insufficient.

2 Flaring work and flare nut

Flaring work for R410A pipe differs from that for R22 pipe. For details of flaring work, refer to Installation manual “FLARING WORK”.

3.Refrigerant oil

Apply the special refrigeration oil (accessories: packed with indoor unit) to the flare and the union seat surfaces.

4.Air purge

• Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.

Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant

circuit.

• Use the vacuum pump for air purging for the purpose of environmental protection.

5.Additional charge

For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas cylinder. If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the outdoor unit. In this case, ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can be impossible. However, charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.
