1 SAFETY PRECAUTION

Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A

1-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY

Use new refrigerant pipes.

Charge refrigerant from liquid phase of gas

cylinder.

If the refrigerant is charged from gas phase, composition

change may occur in refrigerant and the efficiency will be

lowered.

Do not use refrigerant other than R410A.

If other refrigerant (R22 etc.) is used, chlorine in refrige-

rant can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.

Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check

valve.

Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and

that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.

Use the following tools specifically designed for

use with R410A refrigerant.

The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant.

Handle tools with care.

If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can

cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of com-

pressor.

Do not use a charging cylinder.

If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of refrigera-

nt will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

Tools for R410A

Contamination inside refrigerant piping can cause deterio-

ration of refrigerant oil etc.

If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can

cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of com-

pressor.

If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause deterio-

ration of refrigerant oil etc.

Store the piping indoors, and both ends of the

piping sealed until just before brazing.

(Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.)

Make sure that the inside and outside of refrige-

rant piping is clean and it has no contaminants

such as sulfur, oxides, dirt, shaving particles, etc,

which are hazard to refrigerant cycle.

In addition, use pipes with specified thickness.

The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange

connections must be ester oil, ether oil or

alkylbenzene oil in a smalll amount.

Never use any refrigerant other than that specified.

Doing so may cause a burst, an explosion, or fire when the

unit is being used, serviced, or disposed of.

Correct refrigerant is specified in the manuals and on the

spec labels provided with our products.

We will not be held responsible for mechanical failure,

system malfunction, unit breakdown or accidents caused

by failure to follow the instructions.

Use the specified refrigerant only. Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during

operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with

a flame, poisonous gases will be released.

1-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT

Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply

circuit must be disconnected.

Unit

[3] Service tools

(1) Use the below service tools as exclusive tools for R410A refrigerant.

[2] Additional refrigerant charge

When charging directly from cylinder

· Check that cylinder for R410A on the market is syphon type.

· Charging should be performed with the cylinder of syphon stood vertically. (Refrigerant is charged from liquid phase.)

[1] Cautions for service

(1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely.

(2) Do not release refrigerant in the air.

(3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant.

(4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously.

Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.

(2) Cautions for refrigerant piping work

New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is same

as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working

pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.

1Thickness of pipes

Because the working pressure of R410A is higher compared to R22, be sure to use refrigerant piping with thickness

shown below. (Never use pipes of 0.7 mm or below.)

2Dimensions of flare cutting and flare nut

The component molecules in HFC refrigerant are smaller compared to conventional refrigerants. In addition to that,

R410A is a refrigerant, which has higher risk of leakage because of its working pressure higher than that of other refriger-

ants. Therefore, to enhance airtightness and intensity, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R410A has been speci-

fied separately from the dimensions for other refrigerants as shown below. The dimension B of flare nut for R410A also

has partly been changed to increase intensity as shown below. Set copper pipe correctly referring to copper pipe flaring

dimensions for R410A below. For 1/2” and 5/8”, the dimension B changes.

Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.

C For indoor installations

D Ceiling board

E Maintenance hole

F PCB side

*1: A minimum 350 mm is required for 90° bends in refrigerant piping.

*2: Ais “Min. 200 mm”.

(Premise: The slope of drain piping is securable 1/100 or more. Required 200 mm or more, when not securable.)

In the case of less than 200 mm (for example Ais 100 mm), the exchange work of Branch box from a maintenance hole

becomes difficult (Only exchange work of a PCB, linear expansion valve coils, sensors and drain pan is possible).

*3: Bis “ □600”.

In the case of “ □450”, prepare a maintenance hole at a PCB side as it is shown in Fig. 2-3, and “Min. 300 mm” is needed

as distance A.

In the case of less than 300 mm (for example Ais 100 mm), the exchange work of Branch box, linear expansion

valve coils, sensors, and drain pan from a maintenance hole becomes difficult. Only exchange work of a PCB is possible.
