Service & Installation
Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to
ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following
precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas
or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work
being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided.
Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure
the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection
equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately
sealed or intrinsically safe.
Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigerating equipment or any associated parts, appropriate
fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher
adjacent to the charging area.
No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigerating system which involves exposing any pipe work
shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion.
All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the
site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released
to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed
to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs shall be
displayed.
Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or
conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is
carried out.
The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into
the atmosphere.
Checks to the refrigerating equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct
specification.
At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt
consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
- The actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant
containing parts are installed
- The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed
background
ENGLISH
8
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the
presence of refrigerant
- Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible
shall be corrected
- Refrigerating pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to
any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are
constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected
against being so corroded.
Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component
inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be
connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately
but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be
reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
- Capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking.
- No live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the
system.
- Continuity of earth bonding
Repairs to sealed components
Sealed electrical components shall be replaced.
Repair to intrinsically safe components
Intrinsically safe components must be replaced.
Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or
any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or
continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of
refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
Leak detection methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems.
Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE
REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection
equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential
source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a
percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the
appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed.
Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the
copper pipe-work.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed / extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from
the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak.
Removal of refrigerant shall be according to removal and evacuation procedure.

Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose – conventional
procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be
followed, since flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
– Safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
– Evacuate;
– Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);
– Evacuate (optional for A2L);
– Continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; and
– Open the circuit.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by
local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged
with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might
need to be repeated several times.
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking
the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is
achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This
process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When the final
oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to
enable work to take place. The outlet for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition
sources, and ventilation shall be available.
Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
- Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment.
Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
- Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instruction.
- Ensure that the refrigerating system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigerating system.
Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure tested with the appropriate purging gas.
The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak
test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the
equipment and all its detail.
It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely.
Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is
required prior to re-use of recovered refrigerant.
It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
- Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders
- All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly
- The recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person
- Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts
of the system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the
cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the
equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigerating system unless it has been
cleaned and checked.
Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant.
The label shall be dated and signed.
Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders
are employed.
Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available.
All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant
(i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant).
Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working
order.
Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the
equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant.
If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall
be available and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition.
The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery
cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged.
Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders .
If compressor or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an
acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant.
The compressor body shall not be heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this
process.
When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
NOTE
Examples of leak detection fluids are
- Bubble method
- Fluorescent method agents

Preparation of Piping
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring
work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable.
- Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes
purchased locally.
- Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
- Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
- Cut the cable 1.5 m(4.9 ft) longer than the
pipe length.
Burrs removal
- Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe.
- Put the end of the copper tubing to
downward direction as you remove chips in
order to avoid to let chips drop in the pipe.
Putting nut on
- Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor units, than put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal.
(Not possible to put them on after flaring
work)
Flaring work
- Firmly hold copper tube in a bar(or die) as
indicated dimension in the table above.
- Carry out flaring work using dedicated flaring
tool for R-410A as shown below.
Check
- Compare the flared work with figure below.
- If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the
flared section and do flaring work again.

LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant
system have undesirable effects as indicated
below.
1 Pressure in the system rises.
2 Operating current rises.
3 Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
4 Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may
freeze and block capillary tubing.
5 Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor/outdoor unit and
connecting tube must be checked for leak
tight, and vacuumed to remove incondensable
gas and moisture in the system.
Preparation
Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side
tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units
have been properly connected and all wiring
for the test run has been completed. Remove
the service valve caps from both the gas and
the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Check that
both the liquid and the gas side service valves
on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this
stage.
Leakage test
Connect the manifold valve(with pressure
gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this
service port with charge hoses.
Pressurize the system to no more than 3.0
MPa (427 P.S.I.G) with dry nitrogen gas and
close the cylinder valve when the gauge
reading reached 3.0 MPa (427 P.S.I.G) Next,
test for leaks with liquid soap.
1 Do a leakage test of all joints of the
tubing(both Indoor unit and outdoor unit)
and both gas and liquid side service
valves.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off
the soap with a clean cloth.
2 After the system is found to be free of
leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by
loosening the charge hose connector at the
nitrogen cylinder. When the system
pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect
the hose from the cylinder.

LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION
CAUTION
!
• To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant
system in a liquid state, the top of the
cylinder must be higher than its bottom
when you pressurize the system. Usually,
the cylinder is used in a vertical standing
position.
CAUTION
!
• Be sure to use a manifold valve for
leakage test.
If it is not available, use a stop valve for
this purpose. The "Hi" knob of the
manifold valve must always be kept close.

Evacuation
1 Connect the charge hose end described in
the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to
evacuate the tubing and indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo and Hi" knob of the
manifold valve is open. Then, run the
vacuum pump.
The operation time for evacuation varies
with tubing length and capacity of the
pump. The following table shows the time
required for evacuation.
2 When the desired vacuum is reached,
close the "Lo and Hi" knob of the manifold
valve and stop the vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
1 With a service valve wrench, turn the valve
stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise
to fully open the valve.
2 Turn the valve stem of gas side valve
counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
3 Loosen the charge hose connected to the
gas side service port slightly to release the
pressure, then remove the hose.
4 Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the
gas side service port and fasten the flare
nut securely with an adjustable wrench.
This process is very important to prevent
leakage from the system.
5 Replace the valve caps at both gas and
liquid side service valves and fasten them
tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum
pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.

NOTE
Air conditioners should not be installed in
areas where corrosive gases, such as
acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
• Do not install the product where it could
be exposed to sea wind (salty wind)
directly. It can result corrosion on the
product. Corrosion, particularly on the
condenser and evaporator fins, could
cause product malfunction or inefficient
performance.

seaside, it should avoid direct exposure
to the sea wind. Otherwise it needs
additional anticorrosion treatment on the
heat exchanger.

SEASONAL WIND AND CAUTIONS IN WINTER
SEASONAL WIND AND CAUTIONS IN WINTER
- Sufficient measures are required in a snow area or severe cold area in winter so that product
can be operated well.
- Get ready for seasonal wind or snow in winter even in other areas.
- Install a suction and discharge duct not to let in snow or rain.
- Install the outdoor unit not to come in contact with snow directly. If snow piles up and freezes on
the air suction hole, the system may malfunction. If it is installed at snowy area, attach the hood
to the system.
- Install the outdoor unit at the higher installation console by 50 cm than the average snowfall
(annual average snowfall) if it is installed at the area with much snowfall.
- Where snow accumulated on the upper part of the Outdoor Unit by more than 10 cm, always
remove snow for operation.
1. The height of H frame must be more than 2 times the snowfall and its width shall not exceed
the width of the product. (If width of the frame is wider than that of the product, snow may
accumulate)
2. Don't install the suction hole and discharge hole of the Outdoor Unit facing the seasonal wind.
