Adoption of New Refrigerant
This Air Conditioner is a new type which adopts a new refrigerant HFC (R410A) instead of the conventional refrigerant R22 in order to prevent destruction of the ozone layer.
WARNING
Cleaning of the air filter and other parts of the air filter involves dangerous work in high places, so be sure to have a service person do it. Do not attempt it yourself.
The cleaning diagram for the air filter is there for the ser vice person, and not for the customer.

6. REFRIGERANT R410A

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.
6-1. 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 installation/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 or 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 concentr ation does not exceed the marginal le vel.
If the refrigerant gas leakage occurs and its concentration exceeds the marginal le vel, an oxygen starvation accident ma y 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.
6-2. Refrigerant Piping Installation
6-2-1. 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 m ust 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 6-2-1. Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.8 mm even when it is available on the market.

1/4 3/8 1/2 5/8
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 6-2-3 to 6-2-6 below .
b) Socket Joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for connections, and used mainly for thic k pipings whose diameter is larger than 20 mm.
Thicknesses of sock et joints are as shown in Table 6-2-2.

6-2-2. 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.
– 25 –
c) Insertion of Flare Nut 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.

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 b y manufacturers. Table 6-2-7 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.

6-3. Tools
6-3-1. Required T ools
The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air conditioner using R410A is changed to prev ent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, flare processing dimensions and opposite side dimension of flare nut (For Ø12.7 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 con ventional refrigerant (R22)
3) Tools commonly used for R410A and f or conventional refrigerant (R22) The table below shows the tools exclusive for R410A and their interchangeability.

6-4. 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.
Connect the charge hose to packed valve service port at the outdoor units gas side.
When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated –0.1 Mpa (–76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s power switch.
Connect the charge hose of the vacuum pump adapter.
Open fully both packed valves at liquid and gas sides.
Place the handle of the gauge manifold Low in the fully opened position, and turn on the vacuum pumps power switch. Then, evacuating the refrigerant in the cycle.
Never charge refrigerant exceeding the specified amount.
If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be charged, charge refrigerant bit by bit in COOL mode.
Do not carry out additional charging.
Keep the status as it is for 1 to 2 minutes, and ensure that the compound gauges 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.
(For refrigerant charging, see the figure below.)
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.

Be sure to make setting so that liquid can be charged.
When using a cylinder equipped with a siphon, liquid can be charged without turning it upside down.
It is necessary for charging refrigerant under condition of liquid because R410A is mixed type of refrigerant. Accordingly, when charging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, charge it turning the cylinder upside down if cylinder is not equipped with siphon.

R410A refrigerant is HFC mixed refrigerant. Therefore, if it is charged with gas, the composi­tion of the charged refrigerant changes and the characteristics of the equipment varies.
6-5. Brazing of Pipes
6-5-1. Materials for Brazing
1) Silver brazing filler
Silver brazing filler is an allo y 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.

Siphon
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.
When performing brazing again at time of
servicing, use the same type of brazing filler.
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) 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.
