9 Operation Details
9.1. Basic Function
Inverter control, which equipped with a microcomputer in determining the most suitable operating mode as time passes,
automatically adjusts output power for maximum comfort always. In order to achieve the suitable operating mode,the
microcomputer maintains the set temperature by measuring the temperature of the environment and performingtemperature
shifting. The compressor at outdoor unit is operating following the frequency instructed by the microcomputer atindoorunitthat
judging the condition according to internal setting temperature and intake air temperature.
9.1.1. Internal Setting Temperature
Once the operation starts, remote control setting temperature will be taken as base value for temperatureshiftingprocesses.
These shifting processes are depending on the air conditio ner settings and the operation environment.Thefinalshiftedvalue
will be used as internal setting temperature and it is updated continuously whenever the electricalpowerissuppliedtotheunit.

12 Installation and Servicing Air Conditioner Using R410A
12.1. Outline
12.1.1. About R410A Refrigerant
1. Converting air conditioners to R410A
Since it was declared in1974 that chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and othersubstancesposea
destructive danger to the ozone layer in the earth’s upper stratosphere (20 to 40 km above the earth),measureshavebeen
taken around the world to prevent this destruction.
The R22 refrigerant which has conventionally been used in ACs is an HCFC refrigerant and, therefore,possessesthisozone-
destroying potential. International regulations (the Montreal Protocol on Ozone-Damaging Substances)andthedomesticlaws
of various countries call for the early substitution of R22 by a refrigerant which will not harmtheozonelayer.
•
•
In ACs, the HFC refrigerant which has become the mainstream alternative is calledR410A.ComparedwithR22,the
• •
pressure of R410A is approximately 1.6 times as high at the same refrigerant temperature,buttheenergyefficiencyisabout
the same. Consisting of hydrogen (H), fluorine (F) and carbon (C), R410AisanHFCrefrigerant.AnothertypicalHFC
refrigerant is R407C. While the energy efficiency of R407C is somewhatinferiortothatofR410A,itofferstheadvantage
of having pressure characteristics which are about the same as thoseofR22,andisusedmainlyinpackagedACs.
2. The characteristics of HFC (R410A) refrigerants
a. Chemical characteristics
The chemical characteristics of R410A are similar to thoseofR22inthatbotharechemicallystable,non-flammable
refrigerants with low toxicity.
However, just like R22, the specific gravity of R410Agasisheavierthanthatofair.Becauseofthis,itcancauseanoxygen
deficiency if it leaks into a closed room since itcollectsinthelowerareaoftheroom.Italsogeneratestoxicgaswhenitis
directly exposed to a flame, so it must be usedinawellventilatedenvironmentwhereitwillnotcollect.

c. Pressurecharacteristics
AsseeninTable2,thegaspressureofR410Aisapproximately1.6timesashighasthatofR22atthe same refrigerant
temperature,whichmeansthatspecialR410Atoolsandmaterialswithhigh-pressurespecifications must be used for all
refrigerantpipingworkandservicing.
Conventionally, mineral oil or a synthetic oil such as alkylbenzene has been used for R22 refrigerating machine oil. Because
of the poor compatibility between R410A and conventional oils like mineral oil, however, there is a tendency for the
refrigerating machine oil to collect in the refrigerating cycle. For this reason, polyester and other synthetic oils which have
a high compatibility with R410A are used as refrigerating machine oil.
Because of the high hygroscopic property of synthetic oil, more care must be taken in its handling than was necessarywith
conventional refrigerating machine oils. Also, these synthetic oils will degrade if mixed with mineral oil or alkylbenzene,
causing clogging in capillary tubes or compressor malfun ction. Do not mix them under any circumstances.
12.1.2. Safety Measures When Installing/Servicing Refrigerant Piping
Cause the gas pressure of R410A is approximately 1.6 times as high as that of R22, a mistake in installationorservicingcould
result in a major accident. It is essential that you use R410A tools and materials, and that you observethefollowingprecautions
to ensure safety.
1. Do not use any refrigerant other than R410A in ACs that have been used with R410A.
2. If any refrigerant gas leaks while you are working, ventilate the room. Toxic gas maybegeneratedifrefrigerantgasisexposed
to a direct flame.
3. When installing or transferring an AC, do not allow any air or substance otherthanR410Atomixintotherefrigerationcycle.If
it does, the pressure in the refrigeration cycle can become abnormally high,possiblycausinganexplosionand/orinjury.
4. After finishin g the installation, check to make sure there is no refrigerantgasleaking.
5. When installing or transferring an AC, follow the instructions in theinstallationinstructionscarefully.Incorrectinstallationcan
result in an abnormal refrigeration cycle or water leakage, electricshock,fire,etc.
6. Do not perform any alterations on the AC unit under any circumstances.Haveallrepairworkdonebyaspecialist.Incorrect
repairs can result in a water leakage, electric shock, fire,etc.
12.2. Tools For Installing/ServicingRefrigerantPiping
12.2.1. Necessary Tools
In order to prevent an R410A AC from mistakenlybeingchargedwithanyotherrefrigerant,thediameterofthe3-wayvalveservice
port on the outdoor unit has been changed.Also,toincreaseitsabilitytowithstandpressure,theopposingdimensionshavebeen
changed for the refrigerant pipe flaringsizeandflarenut.Accordingly,wheninstallingorservicingrefrigerantpiping,youmusthave

12.2.2. R410A Tools
1. Copper tube gauge for clearance adjustment
(used when flaring with the conventional flaring tool (clutch
type))
•
•
This gauge makes it easy to set the clearance for the
• •
copper tube to 1.0-1.5 mm from the clamp bar of the
flaring tool.
2. Flaring tool (clutch type)
•
•
In the R410A flaring tool, the receiving hole for the
• •
clamp bar is enlarged so the clearance from the clamp
bar can be set to 0-0.5 mm, and the spring inside the
tool is strengthened to increase the strength of the pipeexpanding torque. This flaring tools can also be used
with R22 piping, so we recommend that you select it if
you are buying a new flaring tool.
The pressure resistance of the charging hose has been
• •
raised to match the higher pressure of R410A. The hose
material has also been changed to suit HFC use, and
the size of the fitting has been changed to match the
manifold ports.

Bursting pressure17.2 MPa (175 kgf/cm3)27.4MPa(280kgf/cm3)
6. Vacuum pump adaptor
•
•
When using a vacuum pump for R410A, it is necessary
• •
to install an electromagnetic valve to prevent the
vacuum pump oil from flowing back into the charging
hose. The vacuum pump adaptor is installed for that
purpose. If the vacuum pump oil (mineral oil) becomes
mixed with R410A, it will damage the unit.

there is no chlorineintherefrigerant).
•
•
The presentR134aleakdetectorcanbeused,butthe
• •
detectionsensitivitywillbelower(settingthesensitivity
for R134aat1,thelevelforR410Awilldropto0.6).
Because of the high pressure and fast vaporizing speed
• •
of R410A, the refrigerant cannot be held in a liquid
phase inside the charging cylinder when charging is
done using the charging cylinder method, causing
bubbles to form in the measurement scale glass and
making it difficult to see the reading. (Naturally, the
conventional R22 charging cylinder cannot be used
because of the differences in the pressure resistance,
scale gradation, connecting port size, etc.)
•
•
The electronic scale has been strengthened by using a
• •
structure in which the weight detector for the refrigerant
cylinder is held by four supports. It is also equipped with
two connection ports, one for R22 (7/16 UNF, 20
threads) and one for R410A (1/2 UNF, 20 threads), so
it can also be used for conventional refrigerant charging.
•
•
There are two types of electronic scales, one for 10-kg
• •
cylinders and one for 20-kg cylinders. (The 10-kg
cylinder is recommended.)
Refrigerant charging is done manually by opening and
closing the valve.

name, and the coating color of the cylinder protectoris
pink, which is the color stipulated by ARI oftheU.S.

It is recommended that you use copper and copper alloy jointless pipes with a maximum oil adherence of 40 mg/10m. Donotuse
pipes that are crushed, deformed, or discolored (especially the inside surface). If these inferior pipes are used, impuritiesmayclog
the expansion valves or capillaries.
Because the pressure of ACs using R410A is higher than those using R22, it is essential that you select materialsthatare
appropriate for these standards.
The thickness of the copper tubing used for R410A is shown in Table 10. Please be aware that tubing withathicknessofonly0.7
mm is also available on the market, but this should never be used.
12.3.2. Processing and Connecting Piping Materials
When working with refrigerant piping, the following points must
be carefully observed: no moisture od dust must be allowed to
enter the piping, and there must be no refrigerant leaks.
1. Procedure and precautions for flaring work
a. Cut the pipe
Use a pipe cutter, and cut slowly so the pipe will notbe
deformed.
b. Remove burrs and clean shavings from the cutsurface
If the shape of the pipe end is poor after removingburrs,
or if shavings adhere to the flared area,itmayleadto
refrigerant leaks.
To prevent this, turn the cut surfacedownwardand
remove burrs, then clean the surface,carefully.
c. Insert the flare nut (be suretousethesamenutthatis

1. Types of piping and their storage
The following is a general classification of the refrigerant pipe materials used for ACs.
Because the gas pressure of R410A is approximately 1.6 times as high as that of R22, copper pipeswiththethicknessshown
in Table 10, and with minimal impurities must be used. Care must also be taken during storagetoensurethatpipesarenot
crushed, deformed, or scratched, and that no dust, moisture or other substance enters thepipeinterior.Whenstoringsheathed
copper pipes or plain copper pipes, seal the openings by pinchin g or taping them securely.
2. Makings and management
a. Sheathed copper pipes and copper-element pipes
When using these pipes, check to make sure that they are the stipulated thickness.Forflarenuts,besuretousedthesame
nut that is used on the AC unit.
b. Copper pipes
Use only copper pipes with the thickness given in table 10,andwithminimalimpurities.Becausethesurfaceofthepipeis
