6. Relling the refrigerant
Checkthetypeofrefrigeranttobeusedonthemachinenameplate.
Precautions when adding R410A
Fill from the gas pipe in liquid form.
Itisamixedrefrigerant,soaddingitingasformmaycausetherefrigerantcompositiontochange,preventingnormaloperation.
1) Beforelling,checkwhetherthecylinderhasasiphonattachedornot.(Itshouldhavesomethinglike“liquidllingsiphon
attached”displayedonit.)
Filling a cylinder with an attached siphon
Stand the cylinder upright when
filling.
There is a siphon pipe inside, so the
cylinder need not be upside-down to
fill with liquid.
Filling other cylinders
Turn the cylinder upside-down
when filling.
•BesuretousetheR410Atoolstoensurepressureandtopreventforeignobjectsentering.
7. Refrigerant piping work
7-1 Caution on pipe handling
1) Protecttheopenendofthepipeagainstdustandmoisture.
2) Allpipebendsshouldbeasgentleaspossible.Useapipebenderfor
bending.
7-2 Selection of copper and heat insulation materials
Whenusingcommercialcopperpipesandttings,observethefollowing:
1) Insulationmaterial:Polyethylenefoam
Heattransferrate:0.041to0.052W/mK(0.024to0.030Btu/fth°F(0.035to0.045kcal/mh°C))
BesuretouseinsulationthatisdesignedforusewithHVACSystems.
2) Besuretoinsulateboththegasandliquidpipingandtoprovideinsulation
