6. Relling refrigerant
Check the type of refrigerant to be used on the machine nameplate.
Precautions when adding R410A
Fill from the liquid pipe in liquid form.
R410A is a mixed refrigerant, so adding it in gas form may cause the refrigerant composition to change, preventing normal
operation.
1) Beforelling,checkwhetherthecylinderhasasiphonattachedornot.(Itshouldhavesomethinglike“liquidllingsiphon
attached” displayed on it.)
Filling a cylinder with an attached siphon
Standthecylinderuprightwhenlling.
There is a siphon pipe inside, so the cylinder
neednotbeupside-downtollwithliquid.
Filling other cylinders
Turn the cylinder
upside-downwhenlling.
• Be sure to use the R410A tools to ensure pressure and to prevent foreign objects entering.
7. Refrigerant piping work
7-1. Cautions on pipe handling
• Protect the open end of the pipe from dust and moisture.
• All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for
bending.
7-2. Selection of copper and heat insulation materials
Whenusingcommercialcopperpipesandttings,observethefollowing:
• Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heattransferrate:0.041to0.052W/mK(0.024to0.030Btu/fth°F(0.035
to0.045kcal/mh°C))
Be sure to use insulation that is designed for use with HVAC Systems.
• ACR Copper only.
• Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and observe the
insulation dimensions as below.
