1. Required Tools for R32
Mixing of different types of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge, clogging of capillary,
etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types.
1) Tools exclusive for R32 (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22))
2) Tools exclusive for R32, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R22)
3) Tools commonly used for R32 and for conventional refrigerant (R22)
The table below shows the tools exclusive for R32 and their interchangeability.
Tools exclusive for R32 (The following tools for R32 are required.)
Tools whose specifications are changed for R32 and their interchangeability
(Note) When flaring is carried out for R32 using the conventional flare tools, adjustment of projection
margin is necessary. For this adjustment, a copper pipe gauge, etc. are necessary.
General tools (Conventional tools can be used.)
In addition to the above exclusive tools, the following equipments which serve also for R22 are necessary
as the general tools.
1) Vacuum pump. Use vacuum pump by
attaching vacuum pump adapter. 7) Screwdriver (+, –)
Spanner or Monkey wrench8)Torque wrench2)
