Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A

2-1. 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.

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.

Store the piping to be used indoors during

installation, and both ends of the piping sealed

until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc.

in their packaging.)

The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange

connections must be ester oil, ether oil or

alkylbenzene oil in a small amount.

Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during

operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with

a flame, poisonous gases will be released.

2-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT

Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply

circuit must be disconnected.

[3] Service tools

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

No. Tool name Specifications

1Gauge manifold ·Only for R410A

·Use the existing fitting specifications. (UNF1/2)

·Use high-tension side pressure of 5.3MPa·G or over.

2Charge hose ·Only for R410A

·Use pressure performance of 5.09MPa·G or over.

3Electronic scale

4Gas leak detector ·Use the detector for R134a, R407C or R410A.

5Adaptor for reverse flow check ·Attach on vacuum pump.

6Refrigerant charge base

7Refrigerant cylinder ·Only for R410A ·Top of cylinder (Pink)

·Cylinder with syphon

8Refrigerant recovery equipment

[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.

2-3. 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 [7/256 inch] 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 its working pressure is higher than that of other

refrigerants. Therefore, to enhance airtightness and intensity, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R410A has

been specified 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 cop-

per pipe flaring dimensions for R410A below. For 1/2 and 5/8 inch, the dimension B changes.

Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.

ŶSystem example of 5 indoor units

ŶVerification

The rated capacity should be determined by observing the table below. The unit’s quantities are limited in 2 to 8 units.

For the next step, make sure that the selected total rated capacity is in a range of 12 ~ 70.2 kBTU/h.

The total indoor unit capacity should be within the outdoor units. (=54.0 kBTU/h is preferred).

Combination of excessive indoor units and an outdoor unit may reduce the capacity of each indoor unit.

The rated indoor capacity is as the table below.

Example:

Total rated capacity
