7.1. General information
NOTE
The refrigerant R410A requires strict cautions for keeping the system
clean, dry and tight.
r Clean and dry: foreign materials (including mineral oils or moisture)
UJQWNFDGRTGXGPVGFHTQOIGVVKPIOKZGFKPVQVJGU[UVGO
r Tight: R410A does not contain any chlorine, does not destroy
the ozone layer, and does not reduce earth’s protection against
harmful ultraviolet radiation. R410A can contribute slightly to the
greenhouse effect if it is released. Therefore we should take special
attention to check the tightness of the installation.
7.2. Selection of piping material
NOTE
Piping and other pressure containing parts shall comply with the appli-
cable legislation and shall be suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric
