breaks, Gas leakage, stagnation, touching re, rarely cause ignition.
Sharp bending of the pipe use the polyethylene rod, bend not crushed the pipe. Gas
leakage from the crushed part, stagnation, touching re, rarely cause ignition.
Please request your sales agent or quali ed technician to install your unit. Water
leakage, short circuit or re may occur if you do the installation work yourself.
Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of
installation. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electric shock and re.
A brazed, welded, or mechanical connection shall be made before opening the valves to
permit refrigerant to ow between the refrigerating system parts. A vacuum valve shall
be provided to evacuate the interconnecting pipe and/or any uncharged refrigerating
system part.
Mechanical connectors used indoors shall comply with ISO 14903. When mechanical
connectors are reused indoors, sealing parts shall be renewed. When ared joints are
reused indoors, the are part shall be re-fabricated.
Refrigerant tubing shall be protected or enclosed to avoid damage.
Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support
to the weight of the units. If not, the units may collapse and impose danger.
Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described
in the installation manual when dealing with the electrical work. Use power cables
approved by the authorities of your country.
Be sure to use the speci ed wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please
ensure that the connections are tight after the conductors of the wire are inserted into
the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and re.
Please use the speci ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may
collapse or water leakage, electric shock and re may occur.
Be sure to use the speci ed piping set for R32. Otherwise, this may result in broken
copper pipes or faults.
When installing or removing an air conditioner, only speci ed refrigerant (R32) shall be
allowed, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise,
pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture may
be caused.
Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas
comes into contact with re, a poisonous gas may occur. Be aware that refrigerants
may not contain an odour.
After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration
gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming into contact with re
in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
Unauthorized modi cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown
occurs please call a quali ed air conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repairs
may result in water leakage, electric shock and re, etc.

Do you have a question about the Hitachi RAC-E70YHA and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

This document provides comprehensive installation instructions for the HITACHI SPLIT UNIT AIR CONDITIONER, specifically models RAC-E70YHA and RAC-E80YHA, which utilize R32 refrigerant. It is intended for service personnel only and emphasizes safety precautions, proper mounting, electrical connections, and refrigerant piping procedures.

Function Description

The device is a split-unit air conditioner designed for cooling and heating purposes. It consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, connected by refrigerant piping and electrical wiring. The system uses R32 refrigerant, which is a flammable refrigerant, necessitating strict adherence to safety guidelines during installation and maintenance to prevent leaks and potential ignition. The outdoor unit is responsible for heat exchange with the ambient air, while the indoor unit conditions the air within the room.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Refrigerant Type: R32 (flammable refrigerant).
  • Refrigerant Pipe Size (Outer Diameter):
    • Narrow pipe (Liquid): Ø6.35mm
    • Wide pipe (Gas): Ø15.88mm
  • Maximum Piping Length: 30 meters.
  • Minimum Piping Length: 3 meters (installation of pipe length less than 3 meters may generate abnormal sound).
  • Maximum Refrigerant Charge Amount: 1600g for both RAC-E70YHA and RAC-E80YHA models.
  • Minimum Floor Area of the Room (Amin):
    • RAC-E70YHA: 2.44 m² (RAS-EYHA), 1.63 m² (RAI-EYHA, RAD-E**YHA)
    • RAC-E80YHA: 2.44 m² (RAS-EYHA), 1.63 m² (RAI-EYHA, RAD-E**YHA)
  • Maximum Height Difference between Indoor and Outdoor Unit: 20 meters.
  • Power Supply: The unit requires a dedicated power supply, and the voltage and current specifications should be checked against the model's requirements. For example, a 230V, 50Hz supply is mentioned for certain regions.
  • Circuit Breaker: A circuit breaker or fuse must be installed, with an external switch capable of completely disconnecting from the power supply, ensuring all poles are disconnected and a contact separation of at least 3mm is present.
  • Piping Support: Piping shall be suitably supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between supports.

Usage Features

The manual primarily focuses on installation rather than user operation. However, it emphasizes that after installation, the unit should operate in proper condition, and the customer should be explained the correct way of operating the unit as described in the user's guide. The system is designed for both cooling and heating, providing year-round comfort.

Maintenance Features

The manual highlights several aspects related to maintenance and safety:

  • Refrigerant Leakage Check: After installation, it is crucial to check for any refrigerant gas leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and comes into contact with fire (e.g., from a fan-driven heater or space heater), a poisonous gas may be produced.
  • Flare Nut Tightening: Flare nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench to the specified torque. Overtightening can cause the flare nut to break over time, leading to gas leakage.
  • Pipe Bending: When bending pipes, a polyethylene rod should be used to prevent crushing, which could lead to gas leakage.
  • Electrical Connections: All electrical connections must be tight to prevent overheating and fire.
  • Cleaning and Defrosting: Users are warned not to use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the unit other than those recommended by the manufacturer, as unfit methods or incompatible materials can cause product damage, bursts, and serious injury.
  • Storage and Installation Environment: The appliance and pipe-work must be stored and installed in a well-ventilated room with a floor area larger than the specified Amin (refer to Table 1) and without any continuously operating ignition sources (open flames, gas appliances, electric heaters). This is critical due to the flammable nature of R32 refrigerant.
  • Protection of Refrigerant Piping: Refrigerant piping must be protected from physical damage, for example, by installing a plastic cover or equivalent.
  • Insulation: The indoor piping should be insulated with the enclosed insulation pipe, and if insufficient, commercial products should be used. All connecting pipes, regardless of size, should be insulated and then wrapped with vinyl tape to prevent insulator deterioration.
  • Drainage: Smooth flow of water must be ensured when installing the drain hose, and an insulated drain hose (commercial product) should be used for indoor piping.
  • Professional Service: Unauthorized modifications are dangerous. In case of a breakdown, a qualified air conditioner technician or electrician should be called, as improper repairs can lead to water leakage, electric shock, and fire.
  • Compressor Safety: The compressor must be stopped before removing refrigerant pipes, and all service valves must be fully closed after pumping down operation to prevent air from entering the refrigerant cycle, which could cause a burst hazard or explosion.
