REFRIGERANT PIPES

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

Flaring

The main cause for refrigerant leakage is due to defects with the aring work.

•

The installer must ensure that all piping used complies with AS/NZS 1571:1995 - Copper -

•

Seamless tubes for air conditioning and refrigeration and AS4041:2006 – Pressure piping.

All pipework and ttings should be thoroughly examined for cleanliness and suitability for

•

the system and refrigerant prior to assembling.

All unsealed tubing must be thoroughly inspected and, if necessary, cleaned before assembly

•

to remove any copper residue and/or scale particles such as dirt or metal.

Metal lings must not be left in pipework after cutting as they can cause damage compressor

•

(i.e. shaft seals, bearings, etc.).

Pipes must be clean, burr free and not fallen in prior to assembly.

•

For are connections, a suitable lubricant must be used between the back of the are and the

•

nut to avoid tearing the are when tightening the nut.

Connecting Vapour / Liquid Pipes To Indoor & Outdoor Units

1� Align the centre of the pipes�

INSTALLATION

2� Sufciently tighten the are nut with ngers, then tighten with a spanner and torque wrench.

To prevent heat loss and wet oors due to dripping of condensation, both pipes must be properly

insulated.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

Air purging & Leakage Test

DO NOT mix any substance other than the specied refrigerant (R410A) into refrigerant system.

When refrigerant gas leaks occur, ventilate the room immediately.

R410A, as well as other refrigerants, should always be recovered and never be released directly into the environment.

Use a vacuum pump for R410A exclusively. Using the same vacuum pump for different refrigerants

may damage the vacuum pump or the unit.

It is necessary to purge air and check for gas leakage after piping work is completed.

If using additional refrigerant, perform air purging from the refrigerant pipes and indoor unit using a vacuum pump, then charge additional refrigerant.

Use a hex socket (3/16’) to operate the service valves.

All refrigerant pipe joints to be tightened with a torque wrench at the specied torque.

Evacuation Vacuum Method / Leak Test

1� Remove the caps from the vapour valve, vapour valve service port and

the liquid valve�

2� Connect charge hose from the low pressure gauge (manifold gauge

set) to the vapour valve service port�

3� Open the low pressure gauge valve (manifold gauge set), turn on the

vacuum pump and run for a minimum of 15 minutes�

4� Close low pressure gauge valve (manifold gauge set) and turn off

vacuum pump�

5� Wait 2 minutes to allow pressure to stabilise, then check that the low

pressure gauge is maintaining a pressure of -100 kPa (-76 cmHg)�

6� Disconnect charge hose from the vapour valve service port and

replace the vapour valve service port cap�

7� Open both the vapour and the liquid valves to charge the refrigerant

system for test running�

8� Test run the system through both heating and cooling cycles and test

for leaks�

9� Replace the vapour and liquid valve caps�

Both the vapour and liquid valve caps MUST BE on tight.

10� The system is now ready to run�

Adding refrigerant for longer line length

Additional refrigerant for longer piping runs can be added either at the time of evacuation of the new installation or whilst the unit is operating�

It is very easy to overcharge, take caution in charging refrigerant liquid and keep your eye on the scales to avoid overcharging the unit.

Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, re-installation, repair or service.
