Caution to REPLACE MULTI Installation Work
Flow of installation work in the field Items to be observed
•Please note that our Corporation is not liable to the reliability of existing piping,
wiring and power system for reuse (in relation with the gas leak of piping, partially
defective/disconnection of wiring, deteriorated insulation, characteristic faults due
to worn out system).
•For limitation on the refrigerant piping and applicable piping diameter, check the
existing piping for reuse in accordance with the specified check sheet by referring products catalogs and manuals for judgement to reuse.
•If vapor condensation was found in the past, check the thermal insulation.
•For a portion suffered by condensation dripping, check the deterioration of the
insulation, and repair the insulation materials if required.
•When the copper piping is seriously deteriorated, do not use parts with verdigris
or black spots.
•For reusing the existing control wiring between the outdoor unit, and remote controller, check the wire type , siz e or the lik e based on the chec k sheet to judge the
possibility.
•Even when the above does not meet the item on the check sheet, existing wiring
may be reused depending on the number of connecting indoor units and piping
length. Ask us for detail.
•For the power source system, employ the voltage and number of phase meeting
the outdoor unit, indoor unit and heat storage unit, and adopt the breaker capacity and wiring size based on the power source wiring connection diagram.
•When the existing power source system (including the power source wiring) is
used, check the system for deterioration and damages.
•Check the refrigerating machine oil used in the existing system. (As is found at
the oil inspection, if the refrigerating machine oil used in the existing system is
mineral oil, use the ester oil sampling kit for inspection.
•When the length of piping for reuse is unknown, additional refrigerant charge is
to be calculated based on the quantity of recovered refrigerant. For this reason,
you are kindly requested to recover all refrigerant inside the existing outdoor/
indoor units and extended piping to check and record the quantity. (The standard of additional refrigerant is (Quantity of R22 recovered - Charged quantity of
existing outdoor unit + 3kg). Adjust the refrigerant quantity after mineral oil recovery operation.)
■ Outdoor unit
•Confirm the space around the outdoor unit.
(Verifying the installation space of the oil trap kit)
■ Turn the power source on, and confirm the normality of the system
•Check the remote controller or outdoor unit for error display.
•Run the indoor unit for fan operation after turning the remote controller on, and
check the air feeding and direction.
Do not run the compressor until finishing the mineral oil recovery operation.
■Mount the valve to the field piping (extended piping). (The ball valve is being
attached to the outdoor unit.)
■Execute an airtight test to check the existing piping for deterioration or leaking.
■Calculate the quantity required by the extended piping, and charge the addi-
tional refrigerant. Make sure to enter the value in the additional refrigerant charge
column on the label of combined outdoor unit being pasted on the outdoor unit.
Without applying any operation, keep the ball v alves of the outdoor unit c losed
before mineral oil recovery operation.
It is necessary to charge refrigerant in a rated quantity and adjust the quantity.
Be sure to execute when the piping length is unknown.
For detail, consult the agent of your dealer.
