SAFETY PRECAUTION
1
Cautions for using with the outdoor unit which adopts R407C refrigerant.
· Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
-The old refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping contains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the
refrigerator oil of the new unit to deteriorate.
· Do not use crushed, misshapen, or discoloured tubing.
The inside of the tubing should be clean and free from harmful sulfuric compounds, oxidants, dirt, debris, oils and
moisture(or any other contaminants).
-Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may cause the refrigerant residual oil deteriorate.
· Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the piping sealed until just before
brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in a plastic bag.)
-If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and compressor trouble may result.
· Use liquid refrigerant to fill the system.
-If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the composition of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change and performance
may drop.
· Do not use a refrigerant other than R407C.
-If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine in the refrigerant may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
· Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
-The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
· Use ester oil, ether oil or alkyl benzene(small amount) as the refrigerator oil to coat flares and flange connections.
-The refrigerator oil will degrade if it is mixed with a large amount of mineral oil.
· Do not used the following tools that are used with conventional refrigerants.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, charging cylinder, gas leak detector, reverse flow check valve, refrigerant charge
base, vacuum gauge, refrigerant recovery equipment)
-If the conventional refrigerant and refrigerator oil are mixed in the R407C , the refrigerant may deteriorated.
-If water is mixed in the R407C, the refrigerator oil may deteriorate.
-Since R407C dose not contain any chlorine, gas leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not react to it.
· Be especially careful when managing the tools.
-If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant may deteriorate.
· Do not use a charging cylinder.
-Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
