The following instructions should be followed when installing your new refrigerant air conditioner.
This air conditioner uses environmentally friendly refrigerant (R407C).
1.R407C refrigerant requires a higher system pressure and is more likely to be affected by moisture, oxides and grease.
If polyol ester is used, special care should be taken to avoid contamination from moisture, dust, refrigerant as well
as refrigeration oil in the cooling system.
2.As R407C refrigerant is not an azeotropic compound, its components may change significantly if it is injected in a
gaseous state. It is recommended that the refrigerant be injected in a liquid state.(20% of the refrigerant may remain
in the bottle.)
3.To avoid contamination between refrigerant and refrigeration oil, tools specially designed for R407C and R22
refrigerants should be used.
4.Clean pipes should be used to connect to the piping system. Moisture and foreign bodies must be completely removed.
Pipes provided for R22 system cannot be used.
5.Refrigerant leaks may result in changes to refrigerant property. If leaks occur, the system must be exhausted and
refilled with R407C refrigerant.
6.The cooling system must be completely exhausted to 10Pa or less. Vacuuming can be conducted from the high pressure
and low pressure side of the system.
7.Only parts specified by the manufacturer should be used to replace the compressor and the 4-way and shut-off valves.
