2. REFRIGERANT R410A

FILE NO. SVM-03008

This air conditioner adopts the new refrigerant HFC (R410A) which does not damage the ozone layer.

The working pressure of the new refrigerant R410A is

1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant (R22).

The refrigerating oil is also changed in accordance with change of refrigerant, so be careful that water, dust, and existing refrigerant or refrigerating oil are not entered in the refrigerant cycle of the air conditioner using the new refrigerant during installation work or servicing time.

The next section describes the precautions for air conditioner using the new refrigerant. Conforming to contents of the next section together with the general cautions included in this manual, perform the correct and safe work.

2-1.Safety During Installation/Servicing

As R410A’s pressure is about 1.6 times higher than that of R22, improper installation/servicing may cause a serious trouble. By using tools and materials exclusive for R410A, it is necessary to carry out installation/ servicing safely while taking the following precautions into consideration.

(1) Never use refrigerant other than R410A in an air

conditioner which is designed to operate with R410A. If other refrigerant than R410A is mixed, pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high, and it may cause personal injury, etc. by a rupture.

(2) Confirm the used refrigerant name, and use tools

and materials exclusive for the refrigerant R410A. The refrigerant name R410A is indicated on the visible place of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner using R410A as refrigerant. To prevent mischarging, the diameter of the service port differs from that of R22

(3) If a refrigeration gas leakage occurs during instal-

lation/servicing, be sure to ventilate fully. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may occur.

(4) When installing or removing an air conditioner,

do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture of personal injury may be caused.

(5) After completion of installation work, check to

make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming into contact with fire in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.

(6) When an air conditioning system charged with a

large volume of refrigerant is installed in a small room, it is necessary to exercise care so that, even when refrigerant leaks, its concentration does not exceed the marginal level. If the refrigerant gas leakage occurs and its concentration exceeds the marginal level, an oxygen starvation accident may result.

(7) Be sure to carry out installation or removal

according to the installation manual. Improper installation may cause refrigeration trouble, water leakage, electric shock, fire, etc.

(8) Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner

may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualified air conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repair’s may result in water leakage, electric shock and fire, etc.

2-2.Refrigerant Piping Installation

2-2-1. Piping materials and joints used

For the refrigerant piping installation, copper pipes and joints are mainly used. Copper pipes and joints suitable for the refrigerant must be chosen and installed. Furthermore, it is necessary to use clean copper pipes and joints whose interior surfaces are less affected by contaminants.

(1) Copper Pipes

It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes which are made of either copper or copper alloy and it is desirable that the amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10 m. Do not use copper pipes having a collapsed, deformed or discolored portion (especially on the interior surface). Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants. As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when using R22, it is necessary to choose adequate materials. Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in Table 2-2-1. Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.8 mm even when it is available on the market.

(2) Joints

For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all contaminants.

a) Flare Joints

Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes cannot be used for pipings whose outer diameter exceeds 20 mm. In such a case, socket joints can be used. Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and flare nuts are as shown in Tables 2-2-3 to 2-2-6 below.

2-2-2. Processing of piping materials

When performing the refrigerant piping installation, care should be taken to ensure that water or dust does not enter the pipe interior, that no other oil other than lubricating oils used in the installed air conditioner is used, and that refrigerant does not leak. When using lubricating oils in the piping processing, use such lubricating oils whose water content has been removed. When stored, be sure to seal the container with an airtight cap or any other cover.

(1) Flare Processing Procedures and Precautions

a) Cutting the Pipe

By means of a pipe cutter, slowly cut the pipe so that it is not deformed.

b) Removing Burrs and Chips

If the flared section has chips or burrs, refrigerant leakage may occur. Carefully remove all burrs and clean the cut surface before installation.

c) Insertion of Flare Nut

– 6 –

d) Flare Processing

Make certain that a clamp bar and copper pipe have been cleaned. By means of the clamp bar, perform the flare processing correctly. Use either a flare tool for R410A or conventional flare tool. Flare processing dimensions differ according to the type of flare tool. When using a conventional flare tool, be sure to secure “dimension A” b y using a gauge for size adjustment.

(2) Flare Connecting Procedures and Precautions

a) Make sure that the flare and union portions do

not have any scar or dust, etc.

b) Correctly align the processed flare surface with

the union axis.

c) Tighten the flare with designated torque by

means of a torque wrench. The tightening torque for R410A is the same as that for conventional R22. Incidentally, when the torque is weak, the gas leakage may occur.

When it is strong, the flare nut may crack and may be made non-removable. When choosing the tightening torque, comply with values designated by manuf acturers. Table 2-2-7 shows reference values.

Note:

When applying oil to the flare surface, be sure to use oil designated by the manufacturer. If any other oil is used, the lubricating oils may deteriorate and cause the compressor to burn out.

2-3-1. Required tools

The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air conditioner using R410A is changed to prevent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, flare processing dimensions and opposite side dimension of flare nut (For ∅12.70 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.

The used refrigerating oil is changed, and mixing of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge, clogging of capillary, etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types.

(1) Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22)) (2) Tools exclusive for R410A, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R22) (3) Tools commonly used for R410A and for conventional refrigerant (R22) The table below shows the tools exclusive for R410A and their interchangeability.

2-4. Recharging of Refrigerant

When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specified amount of new refrigerant according to the following steps.

Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant remains in the equipment.

When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated -0.1 Mpa (-76 cmHg), place the handle Low

Connect the charge hose to packed valve service port at the outdoor unit’s gas side.

in the fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s power switch.

Connect the charge hose to the vacuum pump adapter.

Open fully both packed valves at liquid and gas sides.

Keep the status as it is for 1 to 2 minutes, and ensure that the compound gauge’s pointer does not return.

Set the refrigerant cylinder to the electronic balance, connect the connecting hose to the cylinder and the connecting port of the electronic balance, and charge liquid refrigerant.

Place the handle of the gauge manifold Low in

the fully opened position, and turn on the vacuum pump’s power switch. Then, evacuating the refrigerant in the cycle.

1 Never charge refrigerant exceeding the specified amount. 2 If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be charged, charge refrigerant bit by bit in COOL mode. 3 Do not carry out additional charging.

When additional charging is carried out if refrigerant leaks, the refrigerant composition changes in the refrigeration cycle, that is characteristics of the air conditioner changes, refrigerant exceeding the specified amount is charged, and working pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high pressure, and may cause a rupture or personal injury.

2-5. Brazing of Pipes

2-5-1. Materials for brazing (1) Silver brazing filler

Silver brazing filler is an alloy mainly composed of silver and copper. It is used to join iron, copper or copper alloy, and is relatively expensive though it excels in solderability.

(2) Phosphor bronze brazing filler

Phosphor bronze brazing filler is generally used to join copper or copper alloy.

(3) Low temperature brazing filler

Low temperature brazing filler is generally called solder, and is an alloy of tin and lead. Since it is weak in adhesive strength, do not use it for refrigerant pipes.

1 Phosphor bronze brazing filler tends to react

with sulfur and produce a fragile compound water solution, which may cause a gas leakage . Therefore, use any other type of brazing filler at a hot spring resort, etc., and coat the surface with a paint.

2 When performing brazing again at time of

servicing, use the same type of brazing filler.

2-5-2. Flux (1) Reason why flux is necessary

• By removing the oxide film and any foreign matter on the metal surface, it assists the flow of brazing filler.

• In the brazing process, it prevents the metal surface from being oxidized.

• By reducing the brazing filler’s surface tension, the brazing filler adheres better to the treated metal.

– 11 –

FILE NO. SVM-03008

(2) Characteristics required for flux

• Activated temperature of flux coincides with the brazing temperature.

• Due to a wide effective temperature range, flux is hard to carbonize.

• It is easy to remove slag after brazing.

• The corrosive action to the treated metal and

brazing filler is minimum.

• It excels in coating performance and is harmless to the human body.

As the flux works in a complicated manner as described above, it is necessary to select an adequate type of flux according to the type and shape of treated metal, type of brazing filler and brazing method, etc.

(3) Types of flux

• Noncorrosive flux

Generally, it is a compound of borax and boric acid. It is effective in case where the brazing temperature is higher than 800°C.

• Activated flux

Most of fluxes generally used for silver brazing are this type. It features an increased oxide film removing capability due to the addition of compounds such as potassium fluoride, potassium chloride and sodium fluoride to the borax-boric acid compound.

2-5-3. Brazing

As brazing work requires sophisticated techniques, experiences based upon a theoretical knowledge, it must be performed by a person qualified. In order to prevent the oxide film from occurring in the pipe interior during brazing, it is effective to proceed with brazing while letting dry Nitrogen gas (N2) flow.

Never use gas other than Nitrogen gas.

(1) Brazing method to prevent oxidation

1 Attach a reducing valve and a flow-meter to the

Nitrogen gas cylinder.

2 Use a copper pipe to direct the piping material,

and attach a flow-meter to the cylinder.

3 Apply a seal into the clearance between the

piping material and inserted copper pipe for Nitrogen in order to prevent backflow of the Nitrogen gas.

4 When the Nitrogen gas is flowing, be sure to

keep the piping end open.

5 Adjust the flow rate of Nitrogen gas so that it is

lower than 0.05 m3/Hr or 0.02 Mpa (0.2 kgf/ cm2) by means of the reducing valve.

6 After performing the steps above, keep the

Nitrogen gas flowing until the pipe cools down to a certain extent (temperature at which pipes are touchable with hands).

7 Remove the flux completely after brazing.

(4) Piping materials for brazing and used brazing

Copper - Copper Phosphor copper Do not use

Copper - Iron Silver Paste flux

Iron - Iron Silver Vapor flux

1 Do not enter flux into the refrigeration cycle. 2 When chlorine contained in the flux remains

within the pipe, the lubricating oil deteriorates. Therefore, use a flux which does not contain chlorine.

3 When adding water to the flux, use water which

does not contain chlorine (e.g. distilled water or ion-exchange water).

4 Remove the flux after brazing.

8. OPERATION DESCRIPTION

FILE NO. SVM-03008

8-1.Outlined of Air Conditioner Control

This air conditioner is a capacity-variable type air conditioner, which uses DC motor for the indoor fan motor and the outdoor fan motor. And the capacity proportional control compressor which can change the motor speed in the range from 13 to 110 rps is mounted. The DC motor drive circuit is mounted to the indoor unit. The compressor and the inverter to control fan motor are mounted to the outdoor unit. The entire air conditioner is mainly controlled by the indoor unit controller.

The indoor unit controller drives the indoor fan motor based upon command sent from the remote control, and transfers the operation command to the outdoor unit controller.

The outdoor unit controller receives operation command from the indoor unit side, and controls the outdoor fan and the pulse modulating valve. (P.M.V) Besides, detecting revolution position of the compressor motor, the outdoor unit controller controls speed of the compressor motor by controlling output voltage of the inverter and switching timing of the supply power (current transfer timing) so that motors drive according to the operation command. And then, the outdoor unit controller transfers reversely the operating status information of the outdoor unit to control the indoor unit controller.

As the compressor adopts four-pole brushless DC motor, the frequency of the supply power from inverter to compressor is two-times cycles of the actual number of revolution.

(1) Role of indoor unit controller

The indoor unit controller judges the operation commands from the remote controller and assumes the following functions.

• Judgment of suction air temperature of the indoor heat exchanger by using the indoor temp. sensor (TA sensor)

• Temperature setting of the indoor heat exchanger by using heat exchanger sensor (TC sensor) (Prevent-freezing control)

• Louver motor control

• Indoor fan motor operation control

• LED (Light Emitting Diode) display control

• Transferring of operation command signal

(Serial signal) to the outdoor unit

• Reception of information of operation status (Serial signal including outside temp. data) to the outdoor unit and judgment/display of error

(2) Role of outdoor unit controller

Receiving the operation command signal (Serial signal) from the indoor controller, the outdoor unit performs its role.

• Compressor operation control

• Operation control of outdoor fan motor

• P.M.V. control

• Detection of inverter input current and current

release operation

• Over-current detection and prevention operation to IGBT module (Compressor stop function)

• Compressor and outdoor fan stop function when serial signal is off (when the serial signal does not reach the board assembly of outdoor control by trouble of the signal system).

• Transferring of operation information (Serial signal) from outdoor unit to indoor unit

• Detection of outdoor temperature and operation revolution control

• Defrost control in heating operation (Temp. measurement by outdoor heat exchanger and control for 4-way valve and outdoor fan)

Operations followed to judgment of serial signal from indoor side.

– 22 –

FILE NO. SVM-03008

(3) Contents of operation command signal (Serial

signal) from indoor unit controller to outdoor unit controller The following three types of signals are sent from the indoor unit controller.

• Operation mode set on the remote control

• Compressor revolution command signal

defined by indoor temperature and set temperature (Correction along with variation of room temperature and correction of indoor heat exchanger temperature are added.)

• For these two types of signals ([Operation mode] and [Compressor revolution]), the outdoor unit controller monitors the input current to the inverter, and performs the followed operation within the range that current does not exceed the allowable value.

• Temperature of indoor heat exchanger by indoor heat exchanger sensor (Minimum revolution control)

(4) Contents of operation command signal (Serial

signal) from outdoor unit controller to indoor unit controller The following signals are sent from the outdoor unit controller.

• The current operation mode

• The current compressor revolution

• Outdoor temperature

• Existence of protective circuit operation

For transferring of these signals, the indoor unit controller monitors the contents of signals, and judges existence of trouble occurrence. Contents of judgment are described below.

• Whether distinction of the current operation status meets to the operation command signal

• Whether protective circuit operates When no signal is received from the outdoor unit controller, it is assumed as a trouble.

8-1-1. Capacity control

The cooling and heating capacity is varied by changing compressor motor speed. The inverter changes compressor motor speed by changing AC 220-240 V power to DC once, and controls capacity by changing supply power status to the compressor with transistor module (includes 6 transistors). The outline of the control is as follows:

The revolution position and revolution speed of the motor are detected by detecting winding electromotive force of the compressor motor under operation, and the revolution speed is changed so that the motor drives based upon revolution speed of the operation command by changing timing (current transfer timing) to exchange inverter output voltage and supply power winding.

Detection of the revolution position for controlling is performed 12 times per 1 revolution of compressor. The range of supply power frequency to the compressor differs according to the operation status (COOL, HEAT, DRY).

8-1-2. Current release control

The outdoor main circuit control section (Inverter assembly) detects the input current to the outdoor unit. If the current value with compressor motor speed instructed from indoor side exceeds the specified value, the outdoor main circuit control section controls compressor motor speed by reducing motor speed so that value becomes closest to the command within the limited value.

8-1-3. Power factor improvement control

Power factor improvement control is performed mainly aiming to reduce the current on much power consumption of cooling/heating operation. Controlling starts from the time when input power has reached at a certain point. To be concrete, IGBT of the power factor improvement circuit is used, and the power factor is improved by keeping IGBT on for an arbitrary period to widen electro-angle of the input current.

FILE NO. SVM-03008

8-1-4. Prevent-freezing control

The indoor heat exchanger sensor detects refrigerant vapor temperature in COOL/DRY operation. If the temperature is below the specified value, compressor motor speed is reduced so that operation is performed in temperature below the specified value to preventfreezing of indoor heat exchanger.

8-1-5. P.M.V. (Pulse Modulating Valve)

Using P.M.V., refrigerant flow of refrigeration cycle is varied for the optimum temperature.

After the power has been turned on, when a serial operation signal is received from indoor at the first time, or when PMV alarm is detected and the equipment is reactivated, move the valve once until it hits on the stopper for positioning of the valve. In this case, ticktack sound may be heard.

8-1-6. Louver control

(1) Vertical air flow louvers

Positions of vertical air flow louvers are automatically controlled according to the operation status (AUTO (A), COOL ( ), DRY ( ), HEAT( ) and FAN ONLY ( ). Besides, positions of vertical air flow louvers can be arbitrarily set by pushing the [FIX] button.

(2) Swing

If the [SWING] button is pressed during running operation, vertical air flow louvers start swinging. When the [FIX] button is pushed, swinging stops.

8-1.7. Indoor fan control (DC fan motor)

(1) The indoor fan is operated by the stepless speed

change DC motor.

(2) For air flow level, speed of the indoor fan motor is

controlled in five steps (LOW, LOW+, MED, MED and HIGH). If AUTO mode is selected, the fan motor speed is automatically controlled by the difference between the preset temperature and the room temperature.

8-1-8. Outdoor fan control (DC fan motor)

Although the outdoor fan motor drives the outdoor fan by non-step variable system of the revolution speed, the revolution speed is restricted to three steps on the convenience of controlling. If a strong wind is lashing outside of the room, the operation may be continued as the outdoor fan stops in order to protect the outdoor fan motor.

If a fan lock occurred due to entering of foreign matter, the air conditioner stops and an alarm is displayed.

In normal operation

(1) Cooling capacity control

• The cooling capacity and room temperature are controller by changing the compressor motor speed according to both the difference between the temperature detected by the room temperature sensor and the temperature set by TEMP button and also any change in room temperature.

• When compressor has been activated or reactivated, it operates with Max.41 rps for 2 minutes, with Max.91 rps from 2 minutes to 3 minutes, and with Max.88 rps after 3 minutes passed.

• When room temperature is lower than set temperature, indoor fan motor is oper ated at fan speed L as shown in Fig. 8-2-1 while the outdoor unit stops.

(2) Prevent-freezing control

If temperature of indoor heat exchanger detected by the indoor heat exchanger sensor is 5°C lower, compressor motor speed is gradually lowered to prevent freezing of the indoor heat exchanger. If temperature is 7°C or higher, return the operation to the above item (1).

(3) Current release control

The input current of compressor and outdoor fan motor (Precisely inverter main circuit control section) which occupy most of air conditioner input is detected by the outdoor current sensor, and compressor motor speed is gradually lowered so that current value does not exceed 9.0A if current value exceeds 9.0A. When the current value lowers to 8.5A, return the operation to the above item (1).
