5.3.2 Operation procedure for the airtightness test 
Before ex-factory, cut-off valve for gas pipe and liquid pipe of outdoor unit is turned off. Please confirm that 
before operation. 
Before test please smear a little corresponding lubricant oil at  Blanking plug.and pipe terminal, and use two 
wrenches for fixing Blanking plug. 
Do not allow to connect the pipeline of outdoor unit for test during airtightness test. 
The system test pressure for R410A is 4.15MPa (3.0MPa for R22 refrigerant system). Nitrogen must be used 
as the medium for the airtightness test and the nitrogen should be dry. Increase pressure slowly for three steps: 
Step 1: Increase pressure slowly to 0.5MPa, stop for 5min and then check the gas leakage. Big leakage may be 
found out; 
Step 2:  Increase pressure slowly to 1.5MPa, stop for 5min to check the airtightness. Small leakage may be 
found out; 
Step 3:  Increase pressure slowly to 4.15MPa for R410A slowly (3.0MPa for R22 refrigerant system), stop for 
5min and perform the strength test. Minor leakage or sand hole may be found. Increase pressure to test pressurem, 
keep it for 24h and observe whether the pressure is decreasing. If not, the pressure is qualified. 
5.3.3 Cautions 
a. The test manometer range for R410A should be 4.5MPa above (3.5MPa above for R22 refrigerant system); 
b. Record the data on manometerk, ambient temperature and test time at the same time; 
c.  Pressure  modification:  when  temperature  changes  1oC,  the  temperature  will  change  0.01MPa 
correspondingly. 
d. Pressure should be kept the same. 
e. If it needs to keep pressure for a long time, decrease the pressire lower than 0.55MPa pr below. Long-time 
high pressure can lead to leakage at the welding position, which may cause riskl. 
f.  Before the  airtightness for  the pipeline of  refrigerant  is finished,  do  not  allow  to  insulate and bundle the 
welding positions and connection position of bellmouth of indoor unit. 
 
  
5.4 Fill and charge refrigerant 
5.4.1 Filling procedure of regrigerant 
a. Calculate the additional volume of refrigerant 
Additional volume of refrigerant R=LA×54 g 
LA=L-50 m 
L= (12.7 length of liquid pipe) × 2+ (9.52 length of liquid pipe) ×1+ (6.4 length of liquid pipe) ×0.4 
When L is less than 50m, no need to add refrigerant
