INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT
• This room air conditioner adopts 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 air conditioners.
As R410A has working pressure approximately 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some special tools and piping parts/
materials are required. Refer to the table below.
Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410A refrigerant during storage and
installation, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.
For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant
piping.)
Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.

The incompatible refrigeration 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
refrigeration oil of the upper layer to flow back to the
compressor.

Since refrigerant and refrigeration oil are compatible,
refrigeration oil goes back to the compressor through the
lower position oil back hole.

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 from
being charged into the unit. Cap size has been changed from 7/16 UNF with 20 threads to 1/2 UNF with 20 threads.

3. Refrigeration 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 refrigeration 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.
