Disconnect charging hose from gas stop valve's service port, then fully open liquid and gas stop valves. (Do not
attempt to turn valve rod beyond its stop.)
Tighten valve caps and service port caps for the liquid and gas stop valves with a torque wrench at the specied
torques. See "3 Refrigerant piping" on page 23 for details.
5. Relling the Refrigerant
Check the type of refrigerant to be used on the machine nameplate.
Precautions when adding R32.
Fill from the liquid pipe in liquid form.(recommend)
1) Before lling, check whether the cylinder has a siphon attached or not. (It should have something like "liquid
lling siphon attached" displayed on it.) (recommend)
2) Be sure to use the R32 tools to ensure pressure and to prevent foreign objects entering.
6. Charging with Refrigerant
1) This system must use refrigerant R32.
2) Add refrigerant 20g per meter when the total piping length
exceeds the standard value, but make sure that the total
liquid piping length should be less than the max.value.
7.Precautions for Laying Refrigerant Piping
• Cautions on Pipe Handling
1) Protect the open end of the pipe against dust and moisture.
2) All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for bending. (Bending radius should be 30 to
40mm or larger.)
• Selection of Copper and Heat Insulation Materials
When using commercial copper pipes and ttings, observe the following:
1) Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.035 to 0.045kcal/mh
o
C) Refrigerant gas pipe's surface temperature
reaches 110
o
C max. Choose heat insulation materials that will withstand this temperature.
2) Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and to provide insulation dimensions as below.

Filling a cylinder with an attacged siphon
Filling other cylinders.
Turn the cylinder upside-down
when filing.
Stand the cylinder upright when filling.
There is a siphon pipe inside, so the
cylinder need not be upside-down to
fill with liquid.
